Hollyoaks Spoliers as Ste lead emerges and Sienna makes disturbing discovery

Hollyoaks has three busy episodes ahead this week as the search for Ste produces fresh leads, Sienna returns desperate to see her children and another discovery leaves her deeply disturbed.

James continues trying to establish what happened to Ste and contacts a van hire company while following the available evidence. Imran also discovers a possible lead, while Mercedes becomes convinced that Jenson knows more than he has admitted.

Jenson eventually has to come clean to Mercedes, potentially moving the search forward. Lucas is also back with his family and notices the growing chemistry between Leah and Imran, adding another personal complication while those around them continue looking for answers about Ste.

Sienna’s return creates problems of a very different kind. She arrives at Mercedes’ home wanting to see her children, and Mercedes allows her to spend time with Sebastian because she understands why being with him matters to her.

Warren is furious when he discovers what Mercedes has done, although his daughter admitting that she misses her mum forces him to consider her feelings. Sienna’s visit then takes an unexpected turn when something slips beneath the sofa cushions and she finds something disturbing while retrieving it.

Maddox is still struggling after discovering Cindy is his birth mum. Beth asks Dee Dee to try to reach him, but Maddox takes his anger out on her and reveals that Abigail has advised him to keep his distance.

The situation follows the family into parents’ evening, where Cindy and Beth clash over Maddox. Abigail also raises concerns about Dee Dee’s education and tells Tony that she needs private tuition, while Dee Dee confronts Abigail after finding her at Diane’s grave.

Gemma has another mystery developing around her as she receives disturbing messages and begins feeling watched. She accuses Jenson of being responsible, while Lucas later steps into another confrontation before delivering Gemma an ultimatum.

Vicky is preparing to leave with Prince for a few weeks, although Gemma worries that she is running away from her problems. Meanwhile, Ant’s repeated talk about having children leaves Kathleen-Angel uncomfortable and makes him question whether she really sees them having a future together.

The search for Ste remains one of the biggest questions hanging over the village, but Sienna’s mysterious discovery and the growing tensions around Maddox mean there is plenty developing elsewhere too.
