As the beloved soap Hollyoaks prepares to take us one year into the future, fans are eagerly anticipating the changes that are sure to come. With the first spoilers of the highly-anticipated week finally released, it's become clear that time truly does change everything in the village.
To accommodate the shift in time, the show has reduced its episodes from five to three, leading to the departure of several major and beloved cast members. This week, viewers will witness the culmination of the Blue storyline, which brings with it a cataclysmic stunt that puts many lives in danger.
With a motorcycle accident and a series of bombs planted by the villainous Blue, tragedy is inevitable. The outcome of this week remains a mystery, but it's safe to say that life in the village will never be the same again. And the following week, we'll see the repercussions of these events as we're transported one year into the future.
As we catch up with the residents of Hollyoaks, we find Tony Hutchinson, the legendary mainstay of the show, still lingering inside the iconic pub, The Dog In The Pond. He gazes longingly at family photos while the chaos of the school run begins outside. But the question on everyone's mind is: did all of Tony's loved ones survive the deadly events of the stunt week?
As Tony takes a walk around the village, we catch glimpses of where everyone is now, one year later. While the McQueen clan is busy planning a party at Casa McQueen, Tony pays a visit to Sienna Blake's stall to pick up flowers that he then lays on a grave. But he's not the only one paying respects, as we see the Osbornes and the Lomaxes standing solemnly at gravesides. The question remains: who has died during the past year?
Meanwhile, Mercedes McQueen is struggling as a single mother to her one-year-old twins, Maria Carmella and Maria Gabriella. The events of the past year have taken a toll on her, but the determined soap stalwart is determined to push through and take care of her family and business.
As Tony visits someone close to him in the hospital, Misbah Maalik tends to the patient, but there is sadly no update on their condition. Emotional, Tony resumes his duties and heads to Casa McQueen, where a happy couple is celebrating their engagement. Later, Tony praises everyone for getting through such a tough year, believing that they've all weathered the storm.
But amidst all the joy and celebrations, there is also tension as a secret relationship is revealed and tempers flare. One couple stands their ground, refusing to back down, but the cracks in their relationship start to show. And in the midst of all this, two pregnancies are confirmed, causing even more drama and controversy.
Meanwhile, a new mother struggles with the decision to focus on her career, presenting her father with a difficult choice. And as a familiar face returns to the village, they must come to terms with the fact that their life will never be the same again. And as they reflect on the events of the past year, they are surprised to find out who has been by their bedside.
But not everything is happy and hopeful in the village. The Osbornes are still trying to rebuild after the devastating events of the past year, and with the possibility of seeking justice, they are unsure of what to do next.
And as for Vicky Grant, who has been on quite the romantic journey during the past year, she finds herself on the wrong side of Sienna Blake. But she soon realizes that going up against the iconic Blake matriarch is never a good idea, as Sienna issues a dark threat that leaves Vicky trembling with fear. What caused this unexpected feud between the two? And how does Ethan Williams, who is set to leave the village, factor into all of this?
With so many questions and changes in store, this is one week of Hollyoaks that you won't want to miss.
