Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (27th April - 1st May 2020)
There was more Deveraux drama this week as the family came to terms with the fact that Felix had sold Toby and Celeste as babies. The news was even more difficult for Martine to process as she discovered that Walter had been aware all along. After her discovery, Celeste went home to share the news with Toby, who was furious and wanted to take revenge on both Felix and Martine, believing that there was no way Martine couldn’t have known. However, Celeste told her Brother that she was certain that Martine knew nothing, and suggested that she was just as much a victim as they were.
Walter, meanwhile, tried his best to explain himself to Martine but the pair were interrupted by Felix and Lisa, and Martine was horrified to discover that she and Felix had spent the night together. Later that day, Felix was brutally attacked by Toby in the alleyway and left for dead. The following morning, news of the attack on Felix spread, and Celeste was horrified to realise that Toby had been responsible. Determined to keep up appearances, the pair went to the hospital to find out how Felix was, also hoping to find out just how much he remembered when he woke up. At the hospital, Toby was still consumed with rage, and questioned whether he should finish Felix off whilst he had the chance, however, he was interrupted by Mitchell. Mitchell soon made a terrible error when he suggested that it would be better if Felix didn’t wake up. Having heard Mitchell’s words, and knowing that the police were sniffing around, Celeste gave them Mitchell’s name, leading to his arrest.
Elsewhere this week, Verity returned to the village and announced that she was sticking around for good. Verity’s attentions soon turned to work, and she suggested to James that they set up their own law firm. Sami saw the pair together and asked to join them as a third partner. Verity agreed, but only if Sami was able to find a suitable premises for them. Sami soon came good when Courtney agreed to sell Donovan’s to them, on the condition that Maxine was kept on in some capacity.
In other news this week, concerned about his new pills, Tony decided to stop taking them, unaware that Edward had tampered with them. Marnie returned to work after her falling out with Juliet, and finally, the Hutchinson kids discovered that Hollyoaks is not a suitable environment to grow up as they witnessed an almighty scrap between Martine and Lisa at the Easter egg hunt!

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (6th-10th January 2020)
It was finally the end of Breda this week as her identity as the serial killer was revealed. However, following Breda’s scheming last week, the police were thrown totally off the scent as they arrived to arrest Mercedes for the murders, just as the McQueen’s were sitting down to a late Christmas lunch. Meanwhile, over at The Hutch, Darren was rushed to hospital following the stabbing, but there was relief all round when Misbah revealed that he was going to be fine. Back at The Dog, Mercedes was released pending further investigation. Whilst she’d been gone, John Paul had been doing a spot of detective work and discovered the box of ‘evidence’ that Breda had been hiding. He shared his discovery with Mercedes and the pair came to the shocking realisation that Breda was the serial killer. However, the pair knew that they’d need more evidence before the police would take them seriously so, whilst John Paul kept Breda distracted at home, Mercedes headed for the pig farm...
Events at the pig farm escalated quickly, as Tony was discovered, Sylver was stabbed, the place was set on fire, and finally, Breda was stabbed through the head with her own knitting needles . Tony and Sylver were rushed to hospital, and Diane, who’d been at the hospital attending an event with Edward, was shocked to see her husband wheeled past her. This particularly threw a spanner in the works, as Edward and Diane had just decided to get together properly. However, Diane was relieved to know that Tony hadn’t left her, and told Edward that they must never speak of what had happened between them. Clearly furious that Tony was back, Edward briefly considered not helping him when the machines he was hooked up to began to beep. Why the doctors were unable to hear the noise themselves, we’ll never know. When Tony later came round, Diane showed him some drawings the kids had done. Realising that Edward had wormed his way into their lives, Tony begged Diane to keep Edward away from them...
As Tony recovered in hospital, Diane brought the kids in to see him. Whilst Rose and Dee Dee were pleased to see him, Ant was hostile towards his Father, demanding to know where he’d been and why he’d left them. Despite trying, Tony was unable to explain the true gravity of the situation, which frustrated Ant, who began banging his action figure on the table. The noise took Tony right back to the pig farm and he shouted at his son, frightening all three kids. At that moment, Edward rushed in and demanded to know what was going on. Once the kids were taken home, Tony confronted Edward over his failures as a Father, and Edward spun him a tall tale about how he’d tried to stay involved, but had been thwarted by Tony’s Mum at every turn. Tony seemed to believe his Father, and he later told Diane he wanted Edward to stick around...
In order to help them deal with the trauma that Breda had put them through, Jack, Sylver and Tony attended therapy sessions later in the week. Diane was shocked when Tony broke down in tears, as he grieved for Breda, and became jumpy at every little noise. Meanwhile, Sylver was struggling to know how to feel; he hated his Mum for sending him to prison, but he felt guilty for killing her. Mercedes accompanied Sylver to the session to ensure he didn’t confess to murder (how do the police think those knitting needles became embedded in Breda’s skull?!) and hoped that a reconciliation might be on the cards. However, Mercedes was left devastated when Sylver decided that his future lay with Grace. Jack was also deciding to make a knew start, beginning with a holiday. However, as Jack boarded the ferry, Warren Fox and the twins were disembarking, with Warren telling the kids that it was time to put their family back together. It would appear that Warren hasn’t changed a bit, as he ended the week by kidnapping Brody!
Elsewhere this week, Sienna continued to struggle with Brody and Liberty’s actions, whilst Martine urged her to remember that the pair had only slept together to give her a baby. Sienna later felt guilty when Liberty was rushed to hospital after a scare, and had been alone as Sienna had insisted that Brody spend the day with her. Edward’s daughter, and Tony’s half sister, Verity arrived on the scene, and immediately hit it off with Sami and finally, Jesse and Courtney prepared for their wedding.

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (8th-12th October 2018)
Mental health has always been a hot topic for Hollyoaks so it was only fitting that the show marked ‘World Mental Health Day’ this week with a special episode. The episode focussed on Cleo McQueen, who over the last few months has been battling with bulimia.
As the week began, the McQueen’s were busy preparing for the double wedding of Mercedes and Russ and Cleo and Joel, seemingly obvious to the fact that Cleo was wincing at every bonkers idea Mercy and co were conjuring up. Knowing how much Cleo was dreading the idea of a double wedding, Joel suggested that they run off and marry in secret, much to Cleo’s delight. However, when Nana and Goldie announced plans for a trip to Skegness for Mercy and Cleo’s hen do, they were forced to come clean, leaving the family furious. They eventually made up and threw an impromptu party for Cleo at The Dog, but Cleo was soon sent into despair by a message from Pete...
The next episode focussed solely on Cleo, and her skewed perception about how her wedding day had gone. As Cleo spoke to Farrah, she painted a picture of a perfect day, explaining how she’d gone for a jog that morning, had some breakfast and then walked down the aisle to marry the love of her life. However, the reality of the day was far more sinister, as we discovered that Cleo had woken at 4 am to go for a lengthy run before purging after forcing down a bacon sandwich. As Cleo pinned herself into her now oversized wedding dress, we discovered the toll that her illness had taken on her body as her lips appeared cracked and her thinning hair fell out into her hands. At the church, Cleo struggled to stay standing and she collapsed in pain during her vows. Cleo tried to claim that she had simply fainted, however, Farrah was quick to correct her, telling her that she’d had a heart attack...
As Cleo recovered in hospital, Joel looked for someone to blame and Farrah initially found herself in the firing line when he realised that Cleo had not been attending her counselling appointments. However, he soon found a new target when he discovered that Pete had made contact with Cleo the day before the wedding. Deciding to visit Pete, Joel pretended to be a vicar to gain access to Pete’s cell and beat him up. However, back at the hospital, Cleo’s health took a turn for the worst and she was rushed into theatre in an attempt to stop some internal bleeding. Thankfully, Cleo pulled through, but Joel was left to answer some difficult questions when he arrived at the hospital. As Cleo demanded to know where Joel had been all day, he was forced to admit that he’d gone to see Pete. Noticing Joel’s bruised knuckles, Cleo quickly worked out what he’d done and berated Joel for being so stupid. Things intensified further when Cleo pointed out that her illness had only started thanks to Joel’s relationship with Sienna. Joel was left devastated when Cleo decided that she couldn’t recover whilst they were still together and insisted that their relationship was over.
Meanwhile, little Rose became the latest Hollyoaks resident to turn to the dark side this week as her bad behaviour drove Tegan to distraction. It seems that ever since she found out that Tony and Diane are her biological parents, Rose has been playing up, and Tegan has felt both unwilling and unable to discipline her. Things came to a head when Rose demanded the day off school so she could have a pamper session at the salon (she’s four!) and Tegan reluctantly agreed, despite misgivings from friends, Kim and Jesse. At the salon, Rose’s behaviour was no better and it was only the arrival of Diane that got the little girl to settle down and behave. As Tegan watched Diane bring Rose into line, she made the heartbreaking decision that Rose would be better off with Tony and Diane and later dropped her daughter off at the Hutchinson’s. Over the days that followed, Tegan spiralled out of control, getting drunk and staying out all night, and Leela eventually made her see that she had made the wrong decision by giving Rose up. However, when Tegan went to The Hutch to collect Rose, she was devastated when she heard her call Diane ‘Mummy’ and left the restaurant in tears.
Elsewhere, Louis was back from Hong Kong and it became almost immediately clear that he was hiding something. We didn’t have to wait long to find out what, when a woman named Martine arrived on his doorstep. It seems that Louis has been a bit of a naughty boy whilst he was away. Not only has he cheated on Leela, but he’s secretly got married, to Simone’s sister, no less! To make matters even more complicated, Louis rekindled his romance with Simone this week and his two worlds soon collided when Martine arrived at Simone’s and revealed that she’d got married. Simone was horrified that her sister had married ‘a stranger she met on the plane’ whilst Louis desperately tried to get rid of his new wife. Just how is he going to wriggle out of this one?!
In other news this week, Russ paid Jack to do some snooping on Sylver, still convinced that Mercedes was cheating on him. Finally, Grace came up with a risky plan to get rid of Glenn, but needed Roxy on side. Unfortunately, Roxy wasn’t too impressed with Grace’s idea and refused to get involved, stating that the plan was just too dangerous. However, Roxy was moved by Simone, Courtney and Grace’s emotional pleas for help and agreed to get involved. The plan to bring down Glenn once and for all is on...
5 Things We Learned This Week:
1. Inset days are easy to forget. Rose was off school on Monday due to an inset day whilst Mercedes slipped off to meet Sylver, telling Russ that she was going to the school to drop some lunch money off to Bobby. But Bobby and Rose go the same school. Okay, Russ eventually worked out that Mercedes was lying, but given that he also has a son at that school, you’d think he would have worked it out much quicker than he did!
2. It’s amazing what you can return from Hong Kong with. Tales of amazing new experiences, sexy underwear from duty free and a wife. But, does anyone else get the impression that a terrible fate may be about to befall Louis, what with him turning him into even more of a love rat by stringing 3 women along? The whole thing smacks of what they did with Rhys Ashworth a few years back; make a character thoroughly unlikeable so the audience don’t care when they’re killed off.
3. Kids grow up so fast these days. Only 4 years old and little Rose is already demanding pampering sessions. Amazing how she managed to read the sign, too, and know exactly what was on offer!
4. Hollyoaks still thinks it’s 2008! What was Sally doing bringing Cleo some DVDs to watch in hospital? Surely a tablet would have been better? Would Cleo even have had the means to watch the DVDs?
5. Hollyoaks really don’t know what to do with Jack! Ever since Frankie died, he’s turned into an interfering busy body, poking his nose into everyone’s business. Give Jack a proper storyline please, Hollyoaks!
