After Sally (Annie Wallace) is beaten up in prison, John Paul (James Sutton), Nana (Diane Langton), and Goldie (Chelsee Healey) go to great lengths to try to bust her out. Unfortunately, James (Gregory Finnegan) interferes with their plot. Elsewhere in the village, Luke (Gary Lucy) finally stands up to his mother, Sue (Marian McLoughlin) and reunites with Cindy (Stephanie Waring).

Sometimes people leave the village in a bodybag, sometimes they leave in a cab. Fans of Courtney (Amy Conachan) can rejoice that Courtney left in a cab and therefore could potentially return one day, although we're sad to see her go. Toby (Bobby Gordon) also considers leaving Hollyoaks this week, but decides to stay and doubles down on his commitment to Cleo (Nadine Mulkerrin). Cleo continues to struggle but finds a good support system in Toby and Nana (Diane Langton). While Grace (Tamara Wall) and Felix (Richard Blackwood) fail to best Fergus (Robert Beck), Maxine (Nikki Sanderson) unwittingly becomes his (Robert Beck) latest ‘girl on film. We also dish new arrivals and returns that have been announced, none of which is Nina. Who is Nina? We may never know. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollyblokes/message

Cher (Bethannie Hare) is at it again! This time she fails to tell Sylver (David Tag) when Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) learns she isn't pregnant, just for a little Daddy/Daughter time… and that's nowhere near the worst of what she does this week. Meanwhile, after Tony (Nick Pickard) and Scott (Ross Adams) escape Diane's (Alex Fletcher) lockdown, Diane locks them out of the flat and goes into labor alone! Also, Peri (Ruby O'Donnell) does a favor for a friend and immediately lives to regret it. Plus, did the writers miss an opportunity to bring back Victor (Benjamin O'Mahony)? And is Celeste (Andrea Ali) about to enter a whole new world, full of opportunity for story and potential romance? We sure hope so! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollyblokes/message

Summer (Rhiannon Clements) and Sienna (Anna Passey) are like thunder and lightning this week, while Summer and Liberty (Jessamy Stoddart) are more like cupcake batter and arsenic. Brooke (Tylan Grant) opens up to Ripley (Ki Griffin). Juliet (Niamh Blackshaw) and Peri (Ruby O'Donnell) mistakenly think Juliet's mom Donna Marie (Lucy-Jo Hudson) is shagging ‘old perv' Jack (Jimmy McKenna). Her words, not ours. It was an embarrassment of riches with great performances by all in the #Simmer story and in the latest McQueen scheme and Maalik mayhem. The Hollyblokes agonize over choosing a Star of the Week, see if you agree with our final answers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollyblokes/message

We have two big weeks to cover, so we're coming to your ears twice this week! First up, the week of 24 May. It is indeed a beautiful, spooky connection between Sienna (Anna Passey) and Summer (Rhiannon Clements). They make love (and then some!) with Brody (Adam Woodward) always one step from from finding out. Over at the Dog in the Pond, Cher (Bethannie Hare) reaches new lows convincing Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) that she's pregnant. Meanwhile, young hero Sid (Billy Price) lies to his friends telling them he has gone to bed with teacher Courtney (Amy Conachan) putting her career and reputation in jeopardy. We discuss all of this and more, plus there's another episode to come later this week where we dive deep into last week's shows! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollyblokes/message

A killer revealed, a lover betrayed, and a reunion thwarted. The McQueens have shown a united front since George (Callum Kerr) was murdered, but who is the killer among them? John Paul (James Sutton) certainly found more support from his family than his friends (and former lovers) as both James (Gregory Finnegan) and Ste (Kieron Richardson) doubted his innocence. Ste's daughter Leah (Ela-May Demircan) caught James lying to her father, does it spell the end of #Stames? Brooke (Tylan Grant) tried to help Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) woo Nancy (Jessica Fox) back, what went wrong? With all these heavy hitters (and more) giving star turns, choosing the Star of the Week was a difficult task. Find out if you agree with our pick. Plus: The Blokes dish about their "wishful storytelling" ideas for the show, including an American-style plastic surgery recast and a devious threesome that would force "Hollyoaks Later" to return. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollyblokes/message

Toby (Bobby Gordon) supports Cleo, but does he take things too far? Meanwhile, Luke (Gary Lucy) tries desperately to help Ollie (Gabriel Clark) kick his drug habit while the mental toll of dealing with Luke, Ollie, and Mandy (Sarah Jayne Dunn) starts to weigh on Cindy (Stephanie Waring).

It was a nice day for a COVID wedding, with restrictions made easier because nobody wanted to attend. Mandy and Darren took the plunge anyway and embarked on what may turn out to be the shortest marriage in Hollyoaks history. County Lines drama hit a climax after Ollie and Ste devised a truly ludicrous plan. Liberty did some sleuthing for Sienna and took a Mum 101 crash course from Diane and Courtney. All this and more!
