Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) is set to get a huge shock in Hollyoaks when teenage kids Frankie and Jack Jnr arrive in the village with mum Suzanne Ashworth (Suzanne Hall).

It was confirmed earlier this month that Suzanne would stage her long-awaited comeback alongside daughter Hannah (Emma Rigby), surprising former flame Darren when she arrives on his doorstep.

Suzanne isn’t the only surprise in store for Darren, however, as his teenage children Frankie and Jack Jnr are right by her side.

Actors Isabelle Smith and Ryan Mulvey, who have been filming alongside Ashley and Jessica Fox (Nancy), will take on the roles, making their debut in the Channel 4 soap next year when their respective characters arrive in the eponymous village.

‘I’m so excited to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks, it still hasn’t sunk in!,’ enthused Isabelle upon news of her casting. ‘You should expect a lot of ups and downs with Frankie but all I’ll say is, don’t judge her too soon.

Ryan, meanwhile, added: ‘I’m buzzing to join the cast of the Osbourne family. JJ is charismatic, sporty and a proper mummy’s boy who knows exactly how to get what he wants.’

Consider us intrigued.

Suzanne, meanwhile, said that she’s ‘super excited’ to be working with co-stars Ashley, Emma, Izzy and Ryan.

‘In true Hollyoaks style there is so much happening, lots of twists and turns and as always a huge storyline to come,’ she concluded.

Darren, as viewers will recall, had an affair with Suzanne while married to Hannah, with Suzanne subsequently giving birth to his twins Jack and Francine.

Jack Jr and Frankie aren’t the only newcomers set to make their debut, as Metro.co.uk exclusively revealed on Friday (November 24) that a new lad named Andre (David Joshua-Anthony) arrives in the village next month, telling Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) that he’s her half-brother!

Fans can get their first look at Andre in the show’s Winter Trailer, which Metro.co.uk can confirm drops Monday November 27 at 4pm. It’s a really exciting time to be a Hollyoaks fan!

Hollyoaks streams weeknights at 7:30pm on Channel 4’s streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.

Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) is set to receive a huge shock in Hollyoaks next month when newcomer Andre rocks up with a big secret, confirming that he’s her half-brother.

Did not see that coming.

Andre, played by David Joshua-Anthony, will cause quite the stir when he arrives in the eponymous village with the goal of reuniting with estranged half-sister Vicky, who has no idea that she even has a brother.

Vicky, who recently returned to the village after some time away, takes quite the shine to the newcomer, which proves rather awkward at first, as she gets the wrong end of the stick.

But just how will she react to the news that she’s got a sibling she never knew anything about? And will the two get along?

That remains to be seen but Andre is certainly going to make his mark on the village, proving himself to be a fun, charismatic and quick-witted guy, who swiftly becomes friends with Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass).

After learning of his troubled home life, Dillon offers Andre a place to stay at the Maaliks.

Discussing his casting, actor David said: ‘Being welcomed into the Hollyoaks family has been amazing and I’m enjoying the process of playing Andre.

‘He is a kid who always thinks one step ahead of everyone else and is filled with so many thoughts and ideas.

‘I can’t wait to see what life in the village has in store for him.’

Here's how to watch Hollyoaks after the schedule change

Hollyoaks has a brand new schedule to better reflect viewing habits of TV audiences today.

The show will no longer air on Channel 4. Instead, viewers can get their daily fix on the station’s online platform, formerly known as 4OD and All4, weeknights at 7:30pm on Channel 4 streaming.

If streaming isn’t your thing or maybe you simply prefer to watch on TV then you can catch the show weeknights at 7pm on E4.

Andre will make his Hollyoaks debut on Wednesday December 6, with the episode available to watch from 7:30pm on Channel 4 streaming on the day in question. Alternatively, you can watch it on TV on Thursday December 7 at 7pm on E4.

If you can’t wait until then, you can get your first look at Andre in Hollyoaks’ Winter Trailer.

Metro.co.uk can confirm that Hollyoaks’ Winter Trailer will drop on Monday (November 27) at 4pm on the serial drama’s socials, so be sure to check back then for all the latest spoilers and news.

Dillon, meanwhile, will find himself caught up in Lucas Hay’s (Oscar Curtis) storyline next week after Lucas claims that he’s bullying him. Horrified by the accusation, Dillon defends himself, but just why has Lucas lied?

Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Thursday’s (November 23) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Friday November 24 at 7pm.

Ethan Williams (Matthew James Bailey) decided to take one final chance on love as he resolved to propose to Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).

The popular character, as viewers know, previously dated soulmate Sienna for about a year, until Rafe Harcourt’s (Chris Gordon) arrival threw a spanner in the works.

Sienna made it her mission to woo Rafe in a bid to get her hands on his fortune. Ethan gave his blessing at first but the longer the plot went on the more he became uncomfortable, believing Sienna to have developed feelings for Rafe.

His fears were confirmed and therefore he ended the relationship, though has subsequently tried to talk sense into Sienna, urging her to let her obsession with Rafe go so that they can be together again.

Sienna, however, has refused to listen, with the latest streaming offering of the Channel 4 soap seeing her decide to interfere some more in Rafe’s engagement to Camilla Bassington-Hart (Dylan Morris).

Ethan, meanwhile, sought advice from Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power), who urged him to leave Sienna be and move on with his life.

Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood), however, encouraged Ethan to show Sienna just how serious he is about her and therefore he came up with a plan.

He’s going to propose!

The question is: will Sienan say yes? Despite her efforts to win Rafe’s affection, it’s clear that she’s still in love with Ethan so will the popular duo get back together? Like, ever?

We live in hope that Ethan and Sienna will reunite, but there’s set to be more heartache ahead, with Sienna uncovering a shock affair in upcoming scenes, which leads to quite a twist.

Ethan, meanwhile, receives a shock himself when a surprise resident kisses him at The Loft.

We can’t keep up!

Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday’s (November 22) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Thursday November 23 at 7pm.

Leela Lomax (Kirsty Leigh Porter) suspected that she might be pregnant earlier this week after a throwaway comment from Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) led her to realise that she was late on her period.

The fire fighter put off taking a test as she was unsure of whether or not she wanted to know just yet, but Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) found the tests in his girlfriend’s bag and encouraged her to take them.

Leela felt under pressure after Joel explained how much he wanted to be a dad and thus made a beeline for the toilets at The Dog, where she was joined by Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), who was celebrating her engagement to Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood).

With the pregnancy test returning a positive result, Mercedes offered support to conflicted Leela, who explained that she’s not sure she wants another baby, stating that she likes her life as it is.

Determined to buy Leela more time, Mercedes decided to take a test herself, certain it would give a negative result which she could then show to Joel, but the plan was scuppered by a rather shocking turn of events.

Mercedes’ test was also positive!

With Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) having agreed to keep shtum about their affair, the former Dog landlady was excited to move forward with her life with Felix, but this development changes everything.

The question is: is the baby Felix or Warren’s? And how exactly will Mercedes proceed? How will Leela, for that matter?

So many questions!

Lucas Hay’s (Oscar Curtis) behaviour piques the interests of his loved ones in Hollyoaks next week as he goes out of his way to avoid spending time with Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Curtis).

The teens have become quite close since the latter’s arrival in the eponymous village earlier this year, getting up to all sorts of mischief together.

In more recent weeks, they’ve found themselves on the football team, though Lucas soon was taken off the team after his scheming at the school led to Hunter McQueen (Theo Graham) taking away his place.

Next week, Lucas is reinstated and, in a bid to offer him some support, Dillon reaches out to him, sending a text message telling him that he’ll see him there.

Lucas, however, comes down with a sudden sickness bug, or so he claims, which leads to an argument between Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan), as they once again disagree over how to handle the teen’s behaviour.

Overhearing the heated discussion, Lucas storms out, which piques James’ interest, as he makes it his mission to find out what it is that’s making his stepson act out.

James catches up with Lucas and pushes him to admit what’s really going on, with subsequent scenes seeing the lawyer shocked, as he’s led to believe that Dillon has been bullying Lucas.

Armed with this Lucas’ claim, Ste and James pop over to see the Maaliks. Dillon, however, is stunned at such an accusation and denies all bullying claims.

Desperate to hide from Ste, Lucas quizzes Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) about James’ dad Mac before bunking off school.

Ste and James later find the teen at home and question him about his reasons for lying about Dillon, which prompts Lucas to fully admit that he made the bullying claim up.

The question is: why?

Former Hollyoaks boss Lucy Allan previously hinted at a romance between the two characters when speaking to Inside Soap, telling the publication that Lucas, now 16, will be ‘grappling’ with his sexuality.

‘Lucas is getting to the age where he is difficult to manage, and he’s grappling with his sexuality,’ she said. ‘There’s also a new teen coming into the show in the form of Misbah’s nephew, Dylan.’

Is Lucas starting to develop feelings for Dillon?

In a twist that has absolutely left us stunned, Nadira Valli (Ashling O’Shea) and Camilla Bassington-Hart (Dylan Morris) get passionate, with Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) walking in on the pair together!

Armed with this new information, Sienna urges Nadira to come clean, with a subsequent showdown seeing her reveal the truth to Rafe Harcourt (Chris Gordon).

Rafe later pops the question to Sienna, who is overwhelmed and thus accepts, delighted to have everything she ever wanted.

Or does she?

Ethan Williams (Matthew James Bailey), meanwhile, tries to propose to Sienna, but he’s set to be left heartbroken once more – though ends up sharing a kiss with someone else during the week.

Yazz and Tom Cunningham (Haiesha Mistry and Ellis Hollins) are at loggerheads, with their marriage on the rocks.

Yazz attends Leela Lomax’s (Kirsty Leigh Porter) Christmas party at The Loft, where things get steamy between she and Ethan, with a passionate kiss exchanged – just as Tom walks in!

Awks.

Elsewhere in the eponymous village during the week in question, Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) suddenly falls sick after a text from Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass), who says he’ll see him at the football training.

James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan), however, is intrigued by his behaviour and pushes him to open up, with Lucas making a shock revelation involving bullying claims which Dillon later denies.

Hollyoaks is no stranger to scandalous affairs but we must admit that this one really did catch us off guard, with passion on the cards for Nadira Valli (Ashling O’Shea) and Camilla Bassington-Hart (Dylan Morris).

Nadira, as viewers know, has been working for Rafe Harcourt (Chris Gordon) as of late and it’s at his home where she crossed paths with Camilla, who recently became engaged to Rafe.

But it turns out that, despite Camilla’s insistence on getting married to the Earl, she struggles to resist temptation in upcoming scenes, with she and Nadira getting intimate.

Their moment of passion is witnessed by none other than Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), who has been desperate to find something on Camilla in a bid to get her out of the picture.

The smoking gun that she needed has therefore fallen right into her lap!

Armed with this new information, Sienna confronts Nadira, urging her to fess up to Rafe about the affair. Nadira isn’t keen and a subsequent showdown sees Sienna blow the whole secret, confronting both Camilla and Rafe.

Nadira attempts to deny the truth. Camilla, meanwhile, shows her true colours and talks down about Nadira, which prompts the wedding planner to reveal that they’ve slept together!

How will Rafe take the news?

Not well, it seems, as he subsequently pops the question to Sienna, who is very eager to accept. But that’s not the only proposal she’s set to receive during the week in question, with Ethan Williams (Mathew James Bailey) also intent on asking for her hand in marriage.

The barman asks his former flame to choose between love or money but Sienna claims that she’s choosing family by chasing a life with Rafe.

Bit of a cop out, Sienna.

But will everything work out for her? Or will she realise that it’s Ethan she’s destined to be with?

Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) gets the shock of his life in Hollyoaks next week when he walks in on a passionate kiss between Yazz (Haiesha Mistry) and Ethan Williams (Matthew James Bailey).

Yazz, as viewers know, has been struggling since finding out that she’s got premature menopause, which was diagnosed shortly after being told that she won’t be able to conceive naturally in the wake of her ectopic pregnancy.

Tom has gone out of his way to support her but Yazz has found it difficult to open up about her feelings, instead lashing out at Tom, in addition to shouting at Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi).

Things escalate in the coming episodes and, next week, Yazz stays with the Lomaxes, with her marriage now seemingly on the rocks.

Leela (Kirsty Leigh Porter) offers her some advice, telling her that no-one can instruct her on how to live her life, inviting Yazz out to her work’s Christmas party but things grow awkward after Yazz bumps into Tom.

Tom is taken aback to discover that Yazz is intent on going out and having fun while he’s heartbroken and miserable, so Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) decides to cheer him up, suggesting that they enjoy a night out together.

Ethan, meanwhile, takes it upon himself at The Loft to try and cheer Yazz up and after a few of his signature cheesy dance moves and some fun, one thing leads to another, with the pair sharing a kiss on the dance floor.

Little do they know, however, that Tom has walked in and seen it!

Pictures confirm that Yazz does, in fact, discover that Tom witnessed the moment of passion with Ethan, but will she regret her actions now that her husband had had his heart smashed into a million pieces?

The answer to that question is seemingly yes, with Tom’s speech later in the week at a festive event proving emotional and thus Yazz steps in to assist him.

But will they finally get back on track?

Ethan, meanwhile, is still determined to win back Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), having decided to propose to her.

In emotional scenes, he asks Sienna to choose between love or money, but sly Sienna invents her own category, claiming that she’s choosing family in pursuing Rafe Harcourt (Chris Gordon), who turns up at her home to ask for her hand in marriage!

But is this really the end for Ethan and Sienna? Or can we expect more twists to come?

Hollyoaks actor Angus Castle-Doughty posted a sweet tribute to girlfriend and co-star Niamh Blackshaw on her birthday.

The Eric Foster actor, who confirmed his relationship with the 24-year-old actress, shared a string of candid pictures of the birthday girl on Instagram.

Angus penned: ‘Happy Birthday to the 💫Whhick-ed-ly talented, one-and-only💫 Neville Blackbeard.

‘In a tough year you’ve been a non stop bright spark. Happy Niamh day, you deserve it all ya absolute rocket.’

We’re sure Niamh (Juliet Nightingale) was feeling the love as she replied: ‘still gets me x,’ alongside some laughing emojis.

‘Beautiful photos Angus, Niamh look so happy. Happy Birthday,’ commented one of Angus’ followers.

Another chimed in: ‘Happy birthday @niamhblackshaw i hope you have an amazing day beautiful girl i hope @anguscastledoughty spoils you love you lots lovely.’

A third added: ‘Happy birthday! Have the best day!! Lovely photos! You pair are too cute.’

This comes after the pair shared their highlights from their trip to Kefalonia in Greece.

Over on Twitter Angus previously posted about their relationship.

‘2022 saw me move to the other side of the country, take the biggest step in my career, a relationship end and a relationship start. I also bought a sleeveless shirt, so… every cloud,’ he said.

Niamh joined Hollyoaks as Juliet Nightingale in 2018. Juliet recently cheated on the ‘girl of her dreams,’ Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) – but fans are hoping that the split between Juliet and Peri will only be temporary.

Angus is a more recent addition to the Hollyoaks cast, having joined as Eric Foster, the estranged brother of Tony (Nick Pickard) and Verity (Eva O’Hara) in March 2022.

Earlier this yearNiamh and Angus were involved in some huge storylines with evil Eric facing justice for his reign of terror, which saw him take hostages in The Dog in the Pond after terrorising several of the village’s women for months.

Meanwhile, Juliet recently received the heartbreaking news that her cancer has spread, with doctors being unable to offer any further treatment.

Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard has revealed the future of the soap as he prepares to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The actor, 48, who has played Tony Hutchinson since the soap first aired in 1995, is flying the Hollyoaks flag alongside politician Nigel Farage and This Morning host Josie Gibson.

For those wondering whether Nick will be returning to the soap once he’s left Australia, the star has got some good news.

Ahead of Sunday’s I’m A Celeb launch, he said: ‘This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and as soon as I was approached, I said yes. I am not quitting Hollyoaks to take part. My bosses have been really supportive of me doing it.’

And even more positively, we won’t actually see the icon leave our screens as recent filming has allowed him to get a fair few upcoming episodes in the bag, a source confirmed to Metro.co.uk.

This comes after Channel 4 confirmed a big change to its schedule, one of which includes the removal of Hollyoaks from its channel.

In 2023 64% of viewers watched the soap via streaming or E4, resulting in 556 million minutes of the show being streamed in the first half of the year.

Speaking about the shake-up, Nick added: ‘It’s all about if the money’s still coming in and we’ve been told that we definitely go on until at least the 30th anniversary so that’s as far as I know.’

‘I’m only contracted year to year anyway. So I’ve always taken each year as it comes and like every there’s a few of us in the cast and every time we get a contract we go out and have a little drink and say it’s another year in the sunshine.’

Channel 4’s Chief Content Officer, Ian Katz told Metro.co.uk: ‘Hollyoaks has always been the youngest and most innovative soap so it’s fitting that it should be the first to embrace the changes in the behaviour of younger viewers and switch to a genuinely digital-led release pattern.

‘It was the first UK soap to move to a stream-first model last year and this is the next phase of that evolution.

‘We hope making Hollyoaks available on YouTube, as well as our own platforms, will introduce a whole new generation to the show.’

Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Thursday’s (November 16) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Friday November 17 at 7pm.

Fans of Hollyoaks were treated to a nice surprise during the latest episode, with Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) making her first on-screen appearance since her exit earlier this year.

Nancy, as viewers know, was written out of the show in March as actress Jessica went on maternity leave.

Her exit storyline saw the former head teacher go to the US to try and get the best treatment available for baby Morgan, who had been diagnosed with a heart condition.

Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson), meanwhile, stayed behind in Hollyoaks to keep things afloat, but he’s struggling under the pressure of looking after everyone, all the while trying to pay the bills.

Earlier this week, the much-loved village favourite took money from The Dog to pay off a debt collection agency which he’d previously borrowed money from, before pawning his beloved watch in a bid to pay Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) back.

Thursday’s online offering of the Channel 4 soap saw more heartache for Darren, who speny the afternoon with birthday boy Jack (Jimmy McKenna) at The Dog but, while everyone else was focused on the male stripper Pearl Anderson (Dawn Hope) had accidentally booked for his dad, Darren’s attention was elsewhere when he received a video call from Nancy.

While Darren was pleased to see his beloved wife, it soon became apparent that she brought bad news, informing him that she had the medical bills through for Morgan’s treatment, which is going to cost them thousands of pounds.

Jessica, who recently welcomed a baby boy named River, will be back on our screens in no time, after she confirmed earlier this month that she’s now back at work filming.

But just what will Nancy return home to?

Out of options and desperately in need of cash, Darren found himself knocking on Norma Crow’s (Glynis Barber) door, asking for a loan. Norma was only too happy to comply but made it quite clear that there will be strings attached.

Hollyoaks streams weeknights at 7:30pm on Channel 4’s streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.

Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas has sent his well wishes to fellow co-star Nick Pickard as he prepares for this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

The Warren Fox actor, 48, knows about the jungle experience all too well after he beat out competition from 12 other celebrities, and finished in second place after Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo was crowned the Queen of the Jungle in 2017.

And now soap star Nick, who plays Tony Hutchinson on the Channel 4 soap, is flying the Hollyoaks flag alongside politician Nigel Farage and This Morning host Josie Gibson.

Sharing a throwback of him and Nick on Instagram Stories, Jamie wrote: ‘Wishing this absolute legend all the best on @imacelebrity go and smash it pal and show everyone what a top bloke you are.’

Before he landed in Australia, Nick confirmed he’s not quitting the day job, and his Channel 4 bosses have been ‘really supportive’ of him joining the ITV reality show.

‘I know [my co-stars] will be rooting for me when they find out,’ he added.

‘This is going into the unknown and yes, I will miss my home comforts but I want to come away not thinking, “What have I missed?” but a greater appreciation for what you do have in life.’

Nick’s character Tony was struggling financially as of late, with his beloved boozer not exactly bringing in the cash that one might’ve expected it to.

After getting wind of his mate’s predicament, Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) offered a helping hand, telling Tony that he’ll put together a better menu that people might actually be interested in.

After giving it some thought, Tony decided to go ahead with Ste’s suggested menu, albeit adding some of his own upper-class tweaks beforehand but, despite this, he still worried about The Dog’s finances.

Opening up to Diane Hutchinson (Alex Fletcher), Tony explained that he’s unsure of how they’ll manage to support the family with the boozer not bringing in the desired cash.

Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday’s (November 15) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Thursday November 16 at 7pm.

Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) found himself under suspicion of Rayne Royce’s (Jemma Donovan) murder after Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) discovered an incriminating video on his laptop.

The video in question was a trimmed clip of Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) which, taken out of context, appears to show the nurse confessing to Rayne’s murder.

Peri has found herself the prime suspect in the murder investigation following the video’s circulation on social media and, despite the police having issued a statement to confirm that they’re not pursuing such a line of inquiry, Rayne’s fans still reckon that Peri is to blame.

With Zoe having found the unaltered video on his laptop, the detective naturally came to the conclusion that Prince was to blame for the circulation of the clip, therefore making him a potential suspect in Rayne’s murder.

Prince, however, was appalled by such accusations and claimed that he’d never seen the video before, going so far as to make a public declaration of his innocence on a radio show, stating that Zoe is trying to set him up.

Hunter (Theo Graham), meanwhile, urged Zoe not to go to the police with the laptop, while Prince tried to lodge a complaint against Zoe.

With everything spiralling out of control, Hunter had little choice but to come clean, telling Prince that it was he who posted the video of Rayne online in a bid to avert suspicion.

Prince struggled to process the revelation that his twin had set Peri up, though there was more heartache to come, with the DJ suffering from a panic attack in subsequent scenes, as he broke down in Hunter’s arms, making a shock confession.

‘Rayne’s dead!’, he said, ‘and we all know who did it. I killed Rayne.’ Hunter didn’t appear too shocked as he gave his brother a hug.

Prince has officially admitted to the crime. With flashback scenes set to reveal all in the coming episodes, will this mystery finally be put to bed? Or can viewers expect more twists to come?

Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Tuesday’s (November 14) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Wednesday November 15 at 7pm.

Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) has become prime suspect in the investigation into Rayne Royce’s (Jemma Donovan) murder, with a doctored video doing the rounds on social media which sees her confess to the crime.

Rayne, as viewers will recall, was murdered earlier this year during a pool party at a mansion, with all those in attendance having more than enough reason to want deadly revenge.

Brent Taylor (Jesse Fox) was the first under suspicion but when he was cleared of any wrongdoing the attention turned to Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner), before Peri found herself under the spotlight.

Peri and Romeo were subsequently able to clear each other’s name due to the pair having had sex during the time of the murder, proving to be each other’s alibis.

But despite the police believing Peri, Rayne’s followers are convinced that she’s the killer after a video of her confessing to the crime was taken out of context and shared on social media.

Peri has gone out of her way to try and prove her innocence to no avail, with a number of public showdowns ensuing, doing little to change the minds of the social media crusaders.

A shock twist in Tuesday’s streaming episode of the soap, however, changes everything, with detective Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) having stumbled upon a major discovery.

While contemplating the possibility of watching a film, Zoe grabbed Prince McQueen’s (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) laptop, much to the horror of Hunter (Theo Graham), who urged her to stop.

To Zoe’s shock, the laptop screen revealed a video editing software, with a project on said software containing the edited video clip of Peri confessing to Rayne’s murder, which seemingly confirms that Prince was the one to create such a clip and turn Peri into prime suspect.

The question is: why?

Prince already has an alibi given that he was having sex with Faye Fuller (Madelyn Smedley) at the time of the murder, so why exactly would he want to frame Peri for the crime?

If Peri’s theory – about the person behind the video also being to blame for Rayne death – proves correct, does this confirm that Prince is, in fact, the killer?

Hollyoaks streams weeknights at 7:30pm on Channel 4’s streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.

Owen Warner has landed a pretty exciting gig following his I’m A Celebrity 2022 stint.

The Hollyoaks actor, 24, came second place on the ITV reality competition, which was won by Lioness Jill Scott and saw former health secretary Matt Hancock take third place.

And while a fresh batch of celebrities, including This Morning presenter Josie Gibson and controversial politician Nigel Farage, will be taking on the Bushtucker trials in a matter of days, Owen will be helping out one of the contestants while they’re in Australia.

TV personality Sam Thompson is one of the stars on this year’s I’m A Celeb and has a presenting slot on Hits Radio.

However, Owen will be filling while Sam faces the possibility of testicle-chomping challenges!

‘It’s an honour to be joining the Hits Radio family and I can’t wait to get on air and introduce myself properly to all the listeners,’ Owen said.

‘You can expect to hear all of those biggest hits and biggest throwbacks as usual – as well as a little bit about my life, Hollyoaks – yes, I’ll still be juggling the day job! – and of course I’m a Celebrity….’

Owen recently enjoyed a holiday in the Canary Islands with fellow Hollyoaks co-star and girlfriend Jemma documenting the trip on social media.

In one snap, I’m A Celebrity star Owen was seen beaming from ear to ear in the pool, while Jemma looked ready to enjoy her meal.

The pair went public with their relationship in April, with a cheeky Instagram post that saw Owen, 23, pretending to propose.

Jemma, who rose to fame as Harlow Robinson on Neighbours, recently left Hollyoaks as influencer Rayne Royce, who was murdered in a shocking whodunit storyline.

Hollyoaks spoilers follow, with a first look at next week’s soapy shenanigans in the picture gallery above, detailing all the twists in the upcoming episodes!

The week in question proves to be a big one for Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood), who makes a huge decision about his future.

After admitting his true feelings for Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), the mechanic gets down on one knee to propose again. Mercedes, who previously said to no to getting married, realises that the ring Felix is using this time is Nana’s (Diane Langton) and therefore says yes.

Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), however, is riddled with guilt, given that he’s starting to fall for Mercedes, who he’s been having an affair with. After giving it some thought, he contemplates telling Felix the truth.

But will he do so?

Elsewhere, Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) goes to Norma Crow (Glynis Barber), much to the concern of Ethan Williams (Matthew James Bailey), who overhears and intervenes, desperately trying to talk his mate out of working for the villain.

Darren, however, reiterates just how strapped for cash he is and, with Morgan’s medical bills piling up and his family relying on him to provide, he feels he’s got no choice but to work for Norma until she says his debt is paid off.

Norma, however, offers to lend him the money to pay the bills, leaving him in shock.

Yazz Maalik (Haiesha Mistry), meanwhile, is struggling with her diagnosis of premature menopause and it’s putting a strain on her marriage.
