Leela's heart sinks as she comes to the devastating realization that her baby has stopped moving. The world she knew comes crashing down in Hollyoaks, just hours after her wedding to Joel Dexter. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but now all she can think about is the life growing inside her that has suddenly gone quiet.
It had been a whirlwind of emotions for Leela, ever since she found out she was pregnant with Joel's baby at the end of last year. Despite a few bumps in the road, they were both excited to start this new chapter of their lives together. And now, after a chaotic wedding day courtesy of Marie Fielding, they were officially husband and wife.
But on their wedding night, Leela realizes that she hasn't felt the baby move in the last five hours. Fear grips her as she calls the midwife for advice. The midwife tells her to wait and see if anything changes, but deep down, Leela knows something is wrong. Without waking Joel, she rushes to the hospital, hoping for some reassurance.
At the hospital, Leela is hooked up to a fetal heart monitor, but the initial results are unclear. A consultant is summoned, and Leela anxiously waits for answers. Meanwhile, her family is fast asleep, unaware of the situation. Her sister Peri is sleeping, her brother Ste is busy with James Nightingale, and her stepmother Marie is sound asleep in the guest room.
As Leela cradles her stomach, she calls the midwife once again. The hospital desperately tries to get in touch with Joel, but he remains fast asleep on the sofa. It's not until Abe receives a call and alerts Cleo McQueen that they race to find Joel. Will they be able to reach him in time?
The following day, Marie, Peri, Daniel, and Ste are still unaware of what has happened. After giving it some time, Leela decides to go to the hospital. She leaves Joel asleep on the sofa, not wanting to disturb him before she has any answers.
Upstairs, Leela and Joel prepare for what will undoubtedly be an emotional day ahead. The question lingers in the air - what are they preparing for? Has tragedy struck their happy family? All will be revealed on Thursday, May 30th at 7:30 pm on Channel 4, or on Friday, May 31st at 7 pm on E4.
