It all begins with Juliet ready to confess her love for Darren. While she prepares, Mandy is at the hospital with Darren and Tom Cunningham for her final check up.

During her hospital visit, Juliet texts Darren to meet her but as soon as he leaves Mandy feels a sharp pain…


While Darren meets up with Juliet she's just about to reveal she's in love with him but they're interrupted by Tom ringing Darren and announcing Mandy is in labour.

Tom begins to panic over Mandy and ends up ringing Nancy Osborne. While Darren is supporting his other hand, Juliet still demands his attention and in angers blurts out – in front of Mandy, Tom, Ollie Morgan and Jack Osborne - that he loves her and not Mandy.


Later, Mandy gives birth to a baby boy.

The drama for Darren doesn't stop there as he soon worries the baby might not be his biologically so he ends up buying a DNA kit.


When Ollie visits his dad Luke Morgan in prison, he's reluctant to tell him about the baby. Luke is 100% certain the little one is biologically his and wants to fight for his family.

Kyle Kelly wants Nancy to admit she's still in love with her ex-husband Darren. Jack then gives her a word of advice – show Kyle he's the man she wants. Nancy decides to hack in Kyle's Facebook and organise him a surprise birthday party.

Towards the end of the week, Ollie tells Mandy that her ex-husband Like wants a paternity test. Darren walks in while Ollie reveals that Luke wants his family back.

Later on, Darren and Mandy get the DNA results and decide Ollie should look first. After opening the letter he tells Mandy and Darren the baby's biological father – who will it be? Darren or Luke?

Elsewhere Brooke Hathaway asks Imran to ask Juliet out on a date. After Imran asks her out, Juliet accepts but later when she's talking to Marnie Nightingale she admits no one has ever asked her out on a date before – Marnie gives her son advice.

Later in the week, Juliet starts pressuring Brooke into sleeping with Ollie. The manipulative teenager then plants worry into Brooke's mind and hints that if she doesn't sleep with Ollie, he'll break up with her.

A pressured Brooke tells Ollie that she wants to have sex right away – will she regret her decision?


Over to Sinead O'Connor and following a horrific incident that resulted in her abusive husband raping her, she sleeps in Hannah's bed.

The troubled mum lies about the real reason she's not sleeping in their bed – she's frightened of her husband. Soon after, Laurie catches Sinead bribing Hannah into letting her sleep in her bed.

Elsewhere, Sienna Blake plans to trick Laurie into coming clean about his recent behaviour so she tries to secretly record him…

Sienna decides she's going to tell Sally St. Claire the truth about Laurie.

Later, Sinead O'Connor orders a glass of wine at The Dog but when she leaves the bar without pay, Cleo McQueen chases after her. She then notices Sinead is in tears.

At the end of the week, Laurie and Sienna are picked to play against each other in the ball pit for a game at the fete. Sienna is reluctant to play but gives in and when the pair are getting out of the ball pit Laurie secretly grabs Sienna's bum.

Meanwhile, Harry Thompson and Ste Hay visit Tony Hutchinson to support him following Lily McQueen's death. Soon after, Sally hands Tony and Diane Lily's exam results.

Scott and Ste host the Easter fete in the hopes of cheering up Diane and Tony and as the village is lit up, Lily's guardians are delighted. Following an incident, Tony tells Ste his new friends are a bad influence – will Ste see what his "friends" are really like?

Sylver McQueen tries to distract Prince from his heartbreak and takes him to his workshop and asks whether he could carve something special for Lily's gravestone.

Kyle notices that Nancy has been looking around on his laptop but when she reveals all about his surprise birthday party, he's far from pleased.

As the partygoers arrive, it becomes clear very quickly that things between Kyle and Colin are frosty. After the party, Colin threatens Kyle that his past will come back to haunt him – what did Kyle do?

Finally, Joel Dexter is proud of how Liam Donovan has changed his behaviour and the former terror decides it's time to apologise to Mercedes McQueen for all the drama he's caused her.

Before any of that drama happens, here's what will happen on Hollyoaks this week...

The secret behind Maxine Minniver's "mysterious illness" finally comes to light when Damon Kinsella and Liberty Savage overhear a recording of her confession on Minnie's parrot.

Elsewhere Lily McQueen continues to struggle with her mental health and after she runs away with Romeo Quinn she's struck down and dies from sepsis.

Also Mercedes McQueen and Grace Black continue their feud, Juliett makes a brave decision and Breda McQueen sets up a villager for the murder of Mac Nightingale.
