9 Hollyoaks spoilers for next week
Next week's Hollyoaks episodes see Mercedes McQueen's shooting mystery take more twists, while Luke Morgan's world is turned upside down.
Here's a full collection of storylines you can look forward to.
1. The Mercedes mystery continues
The villagers remain in shock following Sylver's arrest for the shooting of Mercedes, but viewers know that the village hunk is being framed by his estranged wife.
More clues look likely to be revealed when Mercedes has flashbacks to the night of the shooting, while someone sneaks into her hospital room and watches her sleep. Is the real culprit up to no good?
2. Luke is in denial
Luke is fearful over his health as his hand keeps seizing up. His concerns are fuelled when Sienna tells him about her father Patrick, who had motor neurone disease.
Luke books a hospital appointment and asks Darren to come with him. He undergoes an MRI scan, while Darren covers with Mandy and Cindy over Luke's whereabouts.
Afterwards, Luke goes into denial over his problems and heads into Chester for some time to think. Darren meets his friend and urges him to stay strong.
At the same time, Tom starts to fear that Cindy is moving too quickly in her relationship with Luke. Will she listen?
3. Liberty has a surprising idea
Brody and Liberty struggle over how to tell Sienna the news that she has no viable embryos left, which means an end to their surrogacy journey.
Unable to bring herself to take the honest approach, Liberty tells Brody that they should sleep together and make a baby that way. How will Brody react to her idea?
4. Finn struggles to move on
Yazz's feelings for Finn continue to grow and she confides in her brother Imran about how she sees Diane's stepson as more than just a friend. She helps to get Finn a job selling Christmas trees around the village.
Finn's first drop-off is at the local school, where Juliet sneakily steals his hat and runs off. Finn is haunted by flashbacks of the day that he raped John Paul when he goes into the building and returns to the scene of the crime.
5. Edward is plotting against Finn
Yazz becomes suspicious of Edward after overhearing a conversation he has with Sally. She tries to warn Finn, but he insists that he doesn't need anyone else to fight his battles for him.
Edward later suggests to Finn that he should make a speech at the opening of Marnie's new French-inspired patisserie, claiming that it's an opportunity to win people over. However, the big moment doesn't go to plan – and Marnie is sure to be outraged as her carefully-planned launch ends in disaster.
6. Toby and Celeste settle in
New arrivals Toby and Celeste are ones to watch – as seen in the recent Hollyoaks winter trailer, which revealed that they have a secret.
Jesse and Courtney are both impressed by the trendy couple, especially when music producer Toby offers to send some of his clients to the Donovans' salon. But is it all too good to be true?
7. Juliet and Sid grow closer
Sid continues to make amends for his past mistakes and apologises to Imran, which leads to the teens agreeing to stay out of each other's way.
Juliet tries to be a friend to Sid and they grow closer when they bond over not wanting to be blamed for their parents' mistakes.
Keen to spend more time together, Sid asks Juliet if she wants to meet up after school. However, Ollie and Imran decide to give Juliet a second chance after her bullying of Brooke and invite her to go bowling. Where will Juliet's loyalties lie?
8. Damon hints at regrets
When Brody tells Damon that he's keeping something from Sienna, Damon admits that he was happier living a lie with Maxine than he is now. Is he regretting their split?
At the same time, Maxine is struggling without electricity and doesn't have enough food for her and Minnie. Will their fortunes change as the festive season approaches?
9. Marnie's new venture
As Marnie prepares for the grand opening of her French inspired patisserie, she is keen to take every detail very seriously. This includes speaking to her staff in French and teaching Romeo the correct pronunciation of Bon Appetit!
Speaking about Marnie's new venture, actress Lysette Anthony, who plays her, said: "It shouldn’t be funny, but people coming, and trying to speak French, it’s just my favourite. The best line thus far has been, it was a rather appropriately sweet form of comedy fuelled, by her exasperation.
"Marnie was asked for four hot chocolates in French, but what she was actually asking for was four chocolate cabbages. From then on, her level of French has sprung."
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look screenings at 7pm on E4.
