Next week, Marie makes her way to the village that shares her name. Her goal: to reconnect with her sons Abe and Joel. However, things take a turn for the worse when she quickly makes an enemy. Fans of EastEnders will recognize Rita Simons, who will be making her highly anticipated debut on Hollyoaks as Marie Fielding, mother to Joel and Abe.
Joel is in a state of bliss as his girlfriend Leela, who is expecting their child, suggests throwing a gender reveal party at The Dog. Meanwhile, Mercedes is caught off guard when Warren, who previously vowed to get revenge on her, returns to the village. To make matters even more complicated, one of her unborn twins is Warren's child.
During her scan, Mercedes is feeling anxious, but her friend Peri is determined to calm her nerves. At the same time, Leela and Joel are also attending a scan and they invite Mercedes to their gender reveal party. Mercedes, however, decides she wants her own party and turns the event into a joint celebration. In her defense, both she and Leela found out they were pregnant on the same day at The Dog, so it's only fair they share another milestone.
The party starts off well, despite a few hiccups. But things take a turn when Abe, who has been having issues with Cleo due to his infidelity with Theresa, shows up at the pub. As Mercedes and Leela pop their balloons to reveal the gender of their babies, the moment is overshadowed by Joel and Abe's heated fight. In the midst of the chaos, Marie arrives unannounced, wearing a dress she previously stole from Mercedes.
As blue and pink confetti falls during the showdown, everyone is left confused. Marie, on the other hand, is determined to make amends with her children after being released from prison. However, Joel is not interested and tells his mother he wants nothing to do with her. Abe, on the other hand, is more welcoming and has a conversation with Marie that reveals there may be more to her arrival than meets the eye.
Meanwhile, Mercedes is on a mission and clashes with Marie in the village over Warren. The two also have a confrontation at The Dog, where things get physical and Marie ends up with a drink poured down her dress. Despite this, Marie remains unfazed and continues to cause trouble for Mercedes, who urges Joel to get rid of her in fear of her interfering with Warren's role in her twins' lives.
But Marie is not going anywhere and soon she's causing even more chaos by attempting to steal a bag at The Loft. Fans are already loving her character's bold and rebellious nature. However, not everything is as it seems and Marie may have a bigger plan in mind.
Last year, it was announced that Rita Simons, who played Roxy Mitchell in EastEnders, would be joining the cast of Hollyoaks as Marie. This is not the first time the character has appeared in the show, as she was previously played by Emma Campbell-Jones in 2012.
