When's the next part coming up?

Later tonight. Been a bit cloudy with flu this week.

MONDAY DECEMBER 8

In the wake of the events at the manor The McQueens let Theresa back in to the house but she's not herself and Louis is worried about her as she begins to show erratic behaviour. When she bumps in to Dodger in the village he tells her that he knows about her vendetta against Maxine and that he is going to fight her for custody. To make matters worse - Sienna made one more move against Theresa before the trip. She called social services who just so happen to track her down as Kathleen-Angel falls into the river outside the boat house.

The media are taking particular interest in the events at the manor - particularly Siennas role. They begin to crowd Patrick who turns to Dirk for sympathy but when Liberty sees them talking she kicks off about it and in order to save his relationship with his daughter Dirk tells Patrick that he's on his own. Patrick turns to Nico and tells her that they 'only have each other' after Dodger 'turned his back on them' but will Nico stick with him?

Cindy is feeling completely alone following Lindseys death and Mercedes departure and reveals her role in Brownings death to Jude. Jude tells her that Mercedes knows what she's doing and she has to move on from what happened - she now begins to realise where Cindy's problems started. Trevor bumps in to Jude in the village and she's all smiles, thanking him for helping with her shopping and flirting with him as much as she can, fully aware that Grace is watching from a distance.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 9

As the dust settles following the girls attack Tony is struggling to stay away from Sinead to see that she's okay. Diane goes to see Sinead at The McQueens and tells her that she forgives her for making a pass at Tony and asks her to move back in. Sinead is unwilling to be around Tony and tells her Mum she needs to start making a life of her own but not to trust Tony or Harry. Diane tells Sinead that she knows what she is doing.

Louis hears Theresa screaming in her sleep and expresses his concerns to Michaela but she's too concerned with Myra who has completely switched off and is in a near catatonic state. Phoebe pleads with Dodger to back off on the custody battle as the family has been through enough and he's almost won over until they hear Theresa screaming outside 'The Dog'. She's been kicked out for being too drunk. When Dodger sees that Kathleen-Angel is with her he loses his temper and demands to know where Myra-Pocohontas is. They go back to the house and see Myra staring into space as the baby screams desperately. Dodger takes the baby. Kathleen-Angel is crying at Theresa's state and clings on to Dodger.

Grace and Nina are snowed under at the coffee shop as Trevor is dealing with the new building work on the octogan. Tegan jumps behind to help as Leela arrives and questions when Tegan and Grace became such good friends. Rose - who is with Lucy and Ross - begins to cry and Leela picks her up but she wont stop. When Grace tries to calm her down Leela snaps at Grace and tells her she's not family. Tegan tells her that Grace has been a better auntie to Rose than Leela has recently causing Leela to storm out and Grace to feel rather satisfied with herself.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 10

Nina and Lucy are leaving the shop when they bump in to Jason. He seems keen to avoid them but Nina doesn't let it go. Later, Nina catches up with him out on a run and pretends to hurt her knee so that Jason will help her. She asks what he thinks of her figure and tells him that he's got a really good body. She tells him that she used to be 'obsessed' with her weight and 'pretty much' starved herself whilst she was doing her GCSE's but Jason brushes it off and just tells her that he's glad she got better. Later that night Lucy and Nina are walking back from the bus stop after a night on town and see Jason out for a run again. Lucy comments that he "must be mad" and walks off but Nina knows better.

Tegan buys Grace a bunch of flowers to thank her for all her help with Rose recently but when Esther sees Grace telling some passers by that Rose is hers, she questions her motives. Grace tells Tegan she can move in to their spare room if it makes life easier for her. Esther tells Trevor that she is worried Grace is getting too attached to Rose but he is further distracted when a pipe bursts in the octogan and tells her that she's fine.

Michaela and Louise are trying their best to reason with Theresa but the more she fights back the more they become concerned that Dodger may be right. Michaela and Liberty end up fighting over what's going on leaving an awkard Amy in the middle of things. Amy goes to see Theresa and tells her about her post natal depression but it falls on death is as Theresa sees it as Amy offering to babysit whilst she goes out.

THURSDAY DECEMBER 11

John Paul doesn't know what to do about Myra and doesn't know who to turn to. Dirk tries his best to get through to her but to no avail. Frankie comes to see her but is greeted with a hostile reception. Eventually, Diane finds Myra stood static in the village - nothing to her. She expresses her concern and Myra just begins to scream repeatedly. Jack is leaving the shop and sees the commotion. He and Diane pull her in to 'The Hutch' and Diane kicks everyone out. Myra has a complete break down - smashing tables up and screaming before she stops and just starts crying to both of them.

Amy and Chris prepare to move in to Mikes old flat to make more room at The Lomaxes. Ste feels better knowing that Amy is just next door and Chris tells him that he is welcome anytime and gives him a key. Leela agrees to let Sinead move in to Tegans old room as long as she pays rent. Sinead is only in the house for a matter of minutes before she finds drugs hidden under the kitchen sink.

Maxine is wandering through the village and sees Nico being harrassed by the press. She tells them to back off and that she's just a kid. Nico tells Maxine that she doesn't want to have anything to do with Patrick and that's he's guilt tripping her in to staying around. Maxine calls Nicos Mum to pick her up and Patrick arrives as she's leaving. Nico tells him she wishes they'd never found her and not to look for her again. As she leaves and Patrick moves closer to Maxine she smiles at him and tells him that he's "nothing" anymore before saying goodbye and leaving him stood alone in the village.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 12

Sinead angrily confronts Ste but he is adamant that it wasn't him. This time Sinead believes him and wants to know who it was. Ste tells Tegan what he found and she tells him that Cameron is the one to watch and not to trust him. Ste is ready to confront him but Sinead and Tegan convince him that they need to play the long game because he's 'too quick on his feet' when confronted. Elsewhere, Chris and Cameron are getting on well at work but Chris sees through Camerons acts and isn't at all convinced by him but is Cameron one step ahead?

The students are preparing a Christmas get together before they all head home for the holidays. Ross has a present for Phoebe and she doesn't quite know how to react - overwhelmed by the gesture she flees the halls. Ross goes looking for her and she tells him that she doesn't want to feel pressured. An awkward Ross confesses that he is a virgin stating 'Dougie always got there first'. Esther is becoming concerned at the fact that she and Lucy have got no further than kissing but Lucy down plays it. The group play 'I Have Never' and 'Truth or dare'. Carley dares Dougie to spend the rest of the night in a mankini and Lucy dares Jason to play 'chubby bunnies' with the remaining potatoes. Jason is intimidated by Dougies body and gets stressed so Nina immediately changes dares herself to kiss Phoebe. Later, Jason waits outside as Nina is in the loo. When she leaves he tells her he's not sick and she gives him a look. A very drunk Dougie flings down the corridor and kisses them both on the cheek playfully suggesting a threesome. Jason makes his excuses and rushes out.

A bored Harry finds Holly out in the village and they get to talking. Harry says he feels like he's too old for his classmates but is too young to go to bars. Holly says she's in the same boat and that all of her 'friends' are having a party with the students and she wasn't invited. The two of them talk about old times and Harry shows genuine concern for Cindys well being. Out on their walk they find themselves at the school. Harry decides it will be a good idea to break in but as he smashes a window Patrick emerges from the carpark. Harry runs leaving Holly to face Patricks wrath.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 17

Holly begins her tutoring with Patrick which Cindy is more than delighted about as she knows that Holly has great potential but Dirk is less keen on her spending any time in Patricks company but doesn't want to raise the alarm to Cindy in fear of shaking her too much. Patrick tells Holly that she is incredibly intelligent but needs to spend less time focusing on boys and more time focusing on her studies, believing that 'the likes of Jason Roscoe and Harry Thompson' are a waste of her time and intelligence.

Louis becomes concerned when John-Paul gets in to an altercation with a student who makes a joke about what happened with Finn.

Tom is out collecting conkers with Charlie and spots Peri - drunk and on her own. He calls Darren for help and Darren insists that they take her home to Leela and Cameron but Tom begs him not to as he's worried about her.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 19

Ste and John-Paul are trying to get some alone time but Sineads constant presence is becoming a task for them both as she continues to crash their dates. Ste asks Sinead to give them some along time and so she organises a girls night with Amy and Leela. Leela abandons the night early after Grace sees her and tells her that Peri got drunk and stayed at theres the night before. Amy and Sinead continue to talk about their love for Ste and Sinead accidentally lets slip that she slept with him. As the girls head home Ste opens the door to a drunken Sinead who runs straight to the bathroom. Amy drunkenly confronts Ste about his night with Sinead, unaware that John Paul is stood in the kitchen behind him and hears everything.

Jude is in a panic about the messages she's been recieving and confides in Darren that she and Cindy are in trouble. He says he'll do what he can to help them but he is distracted when he walks down in to the pub to find Nancy waiting for him. Darren is elated to see her back and refreshed but she has some news for him. She reveals to him that she needed time to 'do all of the things she never got to do for on reason or another'. Darren calls her selfish for leaving him and the children and describes her behaviour as erratic. Later, whilst Nancy is visiting John Paul, Darren finds medication when he knocks over her bag. He confronts her and she tells him that she needed to be away from the children because she didn't want them to see her sick. Nancy reveals that when she went to the hospital a few weeks ago the doctors found the reason for her strange behavior - she had a brain tumour.

Maxine is having a less than brilliant day as Dodger gets turned down for yet another job and the logistics of having a new born baby on the boat house become more and more of a task. Mitzeee calls and says that they're unable to visit for Christmas as Phoenix is sick and can't fly. Whilst Maxine is at the shop she sees Patrick with Holly and becomes concerned - warning Patrick that she's keeping an eye on him. As Maxine returns to the boat house she is stunned to see that it has sprung a flood and has began sinking. Not the most ideal way to start Christmas.

Great update

Since Jason and Harry are time wasters, they can be time wasters together <3

(in my dreams)

Can't wait for more 😂

MONDAY DECEMBER 22: CHRISTMAS MORNING

Christmas Day descends upon the village and as usual things aren't running too smoothly. Ziggy, Jason and Robbie are stuck in Chester with no food as the baby is sick preventing Joe and Sandy coming for the planned meal. Darren apologises for not inviting them to 'The Dog' as it's already a bit too much of a full house and he doesn't want to crowd Nancy. The boys decide to make the best of a bad situation and cook for themselves - and the five thousand. Michaela informs Ziggy that he will be hosting Christmas dinner for her entire family as they didn't pay their gas bill and can't cook.

As The McQueens descend upon The Roscoes house Myra is struggling to feel the Christmas cheer without Carmel and Mercedes whilst the boys remember Lindsey and Freddie, Ziggy and Michaela realise how similar their lives are at the minute. Robbie and Phoebe exchange gifts and Robbie tells Phoebe he is glad that she's found someone who can look after her.

Theresas behaviour continues on a strange spiral and Myra notices that she is wearing Carmels clothes causing a fight between the two of them. Louis takes Theresa outside and calms her down before discovering that she hasn't bought the kids any presents as she's spent the money on herself. Jason spends most of the day hiding in his room and pretending to be sick. He opens his drawer and looks at a ring he had bought Holly for her birthday before throwing it out of the window. Michaela discovers the truth behind John Paul and Stes break up and vows revenge.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 23: CHRISTMAS MORNING

It's Christmas morning and Holly's birthday - The Cunninghams and Savages struggle to gather around the tiny flat and Dirks cooking isn't particularly appealing to anyone. Dodger bumps in to Patrick in the corridor and ignores him but Holly feels bad for him and takes him over a Christmas breakfast.

As the Cunninghams prepare to spend lunch at The Dog with The Osbornes, Liberty tells them that The Savages wont be joining them. She reveals that she has bought them a present to share and loads them all in to a taxi. Holly, Cindy, Maxine, Dodger and Dirk step out of the taxi to find themselves at Dennis' house. Liberty reveals that she bought the house with her album advance so that they can all be together as a family.

Over at Trevors place it's an awkward morning as Tegan and Trevor attempt to do Christmas their own ways whilst Grace spends the morning playing with Rose. Esther brings over a present for Grace and gives Trevor a look when she sees the pile of gifts that Grace has bought for Rose. Ste heads over to the flat and tells Tegan that she should come over for dinner as 'everyone is going to be there' and it would mean a lot to Peri. Tegan reluctantly agrees but only on the condition that Trevor and Grace go with her.

As Esther is returning from the flat she bumps in to Carley in the street who says that she doesn't celebrate Christmas so she hasn't bothered going home for it. Esther insists that Carley come to dinner at theirs to which she reluctantly agrees but is she telling the truth?

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 24: CHRISTMAS LUNCH

Nancy is insitant on keeping her illness quiet until Christmas is over but Darren isn't sure that he can do it. Holly gives Harry the cold shoulder and Tony is stunned when he arrives and sees Ruth Osborne in the pub.

Holly becomes suspicious of Jude and Darren when they keep going for private talks and questions whether or not they're having an affair. Ruth and Tony catch up outside and he confesses to her that he doesn't love Diane and tells her about the affair. Diane is nearby but puts on her game face before walking up to the pair to tell them that dinner is ready. She tells Tony that she loves him more than anything and they're going to be happy together. Nancy catches Harry helping himself to drink and calls him out on it, he shoves past her knocking her over. Darren sees what happens and loses his temper at Harry before pinning him against the wall. As Tony and Darren come to blows over what happened they're interrupted by an unplanned arrival - a very wet, very tearful Debbie Dean.

Over at The Lomax house Ste is feeling down about John Paul and struggling to stay sober whilst Sinead is drunk as a skunk and telling him to get over it. Amy is helping Leela with dinner and questions her about her relationship with Cameron but when Tegan and co arrive, Leela shuts down. The tension could be cut with a knife as Trevor tries to make small talk with everyone. Leela questions why Grace suddenly thinks she's family and it all kicks off until Peri starts taking things off the table and smashing them against the wall before storming out of the house declaring that she wishes they'd all died instead of her parents.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 26: CHRISTMAS EVENING

Frankie is bemused yet delighted at Debbies arrival. Debbie tells her that her husband has been having an affair and she left as soon as she found out but when she tells the same story to Jack he can't help but notice some holes in it. Tony and Darren have it out over Harry and Darren is forced to tell Tony the truth about Nancy, unaware that Tom has heard the entire thing.

Cindy is enjoying all of the drama as for once she is not the centre of it and Holly tells her it's the first time she's seen her sincerely smile in a long time but that smile is about to change when Jude goes to the toilet and leaves her phone on the table. Cindy sees a message from Alex - the boyfriend she had in Spain before she stole his money and fled back to Hollyoaks.

Diane comforts and upset Harry and tells him that whatever happens he has somewhere tos tay and she wont let him down like she did Finn. Carley understandable feels uncomfortable with all of the drama surrounding the family and Esther takes her upstairs to get away from it - she asks Carley the real reason she hasn't gone home and Carley says "Dad hasn't changed very much".

Over at The Lomaxes everyone splits in to seperate groups to find Peri. Sinead stays at home with Amy and the kids and Amy can't help but feel like she wants to help Sinead get her life back on track. Trevor and Grace are one search party and Trevor questions Graces intentions with Rose. Chris and Cameron search around the folley and Chris asks questions about Sam and Dannys death - the pressure gets to Cameron and he ends up confessing that he was involved but Tegan and Ste are nearby. Ste punches Cameron and Tegan tears in to him. Leela emerges shortly after with a very upset Peri and demands to know what's going on.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 26: CHRISTMAS NIGHT

Cindy is in a frenzy after reading the text and believes that Jude has been sent over by Alex to get her. Holly tries to calm her Mum down but in a blind panic Cindy shoves Holly over and she hits her head, ending up unconscious.

Tony calls Dirk but his phone is on silent as he drinks with his family to the new house. Cindy insists on speaking to Max. Jude goes up to the top and eventually talks Cindy down. Cindy tells her that she's scared and she doesn't know what's real anymore.

At the folley Cameron is surrounded as everyone demands the truth from him. Cameron finally breaks down and confesses that he was the man in the van but insists that it was not intentional and he lied because he didn't want to lose his family again. Leela refuses to believe what she's hearing and Tegan tells her to get a grip. Peri slaps Cameron across the face before turning and slapping Leela, telling her that this was all her fault.

MONDAY DECEMBER 29

Tegan has returned to The Lomaxes after kicking Leela out and vows that they're going to put this year behind them. Chris tells them that he can't find Cameron anywhere and he's not answering his calls. Tegan says that it's his word against theirs with the police but Peri is insistant that they don't call the police until she has seen him. Leela is crashing in Amys flat much to Stes dismay but she's quick to remind him of the amount of things that he has been forgiven for. Leela is humiliated and confused by Camerons confession and needs to know more but she can't find him. Leela turns to Ziggy for help but will he be willing?

Darren is forced to tell the rest of the family what is wrong with Nancy, leaving them devastated but Jack is more concerned for Darrens own health as the strain of what is going on begins to show. Debbie begins to get frustrated at all of the fuss over Nancy causing Ruth to hit her with a few home truths. Later, Frankie confronts Debbie about the message from her husband but she's quick to play the victim. Elsewhere in the hospital Cindy comes to see Holly but Dirk will not let her in and tells her that Holly and everyone around her has suffered enough because of her selfish actions. Jude defends her saying she is sick. Dirk tells her 'so is Nancy' and berates Cindy for so frequently neglecting her care and allowing Holly to suffer for it.

Diane and Tony are preparing for the wedding and stressing out big time. Ruth comes to offer a hand and Diane is all on board with making her feel as welcome as possible. Harry is anxious when he recieves a missed call from his Mum. Dianes mother Jayne arrives with her two brothers Luke and Clark who warn Tony that he had better treat Diane right because they "know a man who can make him disappear". Tony has no idea whether they're joking. Diane tells them all "Don't worry, he knows if he ever misbehaved I'd take him for everything"

TUESDAY DECEMBER 30
Darren tells Michaela that she has to oversee the opening of the venue as it's too much wth the wedding and Nancy's illness. She tells him where to go until he says that he will take a back seat for the 'foreseeable' which leaves her elated. Robbie has no idea what he's in for with Michaela as his boss. She immediately begins acting like task master until Robbie decides to wind her up by telling her that Ziggy has been out all day with Leela.


Sinead comes over to see her family and is pulled aside by Tony who asks her not to come to the wedding saying that it's hard enough as it is. Sinead pushes him away just as Clark enters the room. Sinead says Tony was just lecturing her about not getting too drunk at the wedding. Clark tells Tony "I don't like you Hutchinson. I don't know what it is about you but I don't". Jayne is fussing around Diane and praising what a fantastic man Tony is. Sinead needs says she needs to go for air and bumps in to Ste outside his flat. She tells him that she thinks she needs to confess all to Diane but Ste questions whether or not it is a good idea. Michaela sees the two of them in the village and tells Ste he's lucky she's not going to be at the wedding before telling him "You messed my bezzie around for years but if you think you're gonna mess my brother around and not get done in you're wrong (looks Sinead up and down) and you can do one too you skank".

Sinead is even more stressed after the confrontation and worries that her past decisions are coming back to haunt her. Ste grabs her and tells her that she needs to get it together and if Tony and Diane are going to be together it's their choice.

Ruth goes for a walk with Darren and tells him that when Nancy is better they need to get away from the village, telling him that the place is soaked in misery. She asks whether Tony loves Diane and Darren says that Tony will never make the right decisions when it comes to women. Ruth asks when everything got to crazy. They see Tony walking through the village in a worry - he's looking for Sinead but tells them he's just clearing his head. His friends tell him to follow his heart and they reminisce about all of the mistakes they've made and raise a glass to their old friends. On the way home Tony is greeted by Harry who thanks him for bringing him in to a proper family.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 31 (DOUBLE EPISODE)

The day of the wedding has arrived and Diane is surprisingly calm whilst Tony goes awol he is actually visiting baby Graces' grave and asking her to help him make the right choice today. Diane asks Sinead to be maid of honour after her best-friend fell ill causing Sinead to freak out. Ste calms her down once again and they head off to the church.

As the ceremony begins people are on the edge of their seats waiting to see whether they'll go through with it. Though Tony briefly hesitates with his vows he catches Sinead, Harry and Clarks eyes and goes through with it. Disappointed at the lack of drama The McQueens sneak out after the church to go and support Michaela. Darren makes a joke in his speech about his weddings being cursed and tells him the curse might be broken. Clark adds that the night is still young. Celebrations continue and Ruth congratulates Tony before telling him she has to go. She tells Darren to think about what she said and leaves. Tom is particularly bored spending his birthday at the wedding and steps out to see Nancy at the hospital, telling her its not the same without her. She promises him she'll get better.

Tonys wedding speech is shakey so Diane takes over. She thanks Esther for styling them and says "I feel like one of the Kardashians" Frankie says hopefully this marriage will last longer than Kims to which Diane shoots Tony a look. After a brief pause she gives a special thank you to Sinead "for giving me everything I needed to become the woman I am".

Holly is out at the wedding for Tony's sake but Dirks words have resonated with her and she's not happy to be around Cindy on her own which causes tension throughout the night.

Robbie and Michaela are spending the day building up hype for the re-opening of 'The Loft' and rope the Roscoe brothers in to help with the night later with Ziggy acting as a very jealous doorman for a flirty Michaela. The venue is completely full and when Trevor attempts to throw his weight around and cause trouble Michaela puts him in his place telling that she's one McQueen he wont be pushing around. Myra, John Paul, Louis and Theresa agree that 2015 will be a better year for the family but are they famous last words as Theresa attracts negative attention from a group of girls in the club. Ziggy sees Cameron in the village whilst he's on the door and runs after him. He calls Leela who comes running straight away. She lashes out at him and tells him that he's cost her everything. Leela insists Ziggy leave them to it. Tegan hears the commotion from the flat and steps out to the balcony where she sees Leela crying. Tegan steps back inside and calls the police.

The morning after the wedding and people are starting to check out of the hotel. Tony is clearing up the room and finds the 'booking forms' envelope again and is about to look through it when Jayne insists he come down for breakfast. Diane says she is going to go and sort out an invoice for the rooms and hands Tony the booking forms to date, having already signed them. Tony tells Diane he's going to help Ste pack up the catering equipment and he'll meet her at home. Ste and Tony talk about the crash wedding and Tony tells Ste he is proud of him whilst Ste congratulates Tony before calling Sinead and telling her she needs to leave it alone.

Elsewhere, Cameron is released from the station as he denies the accusations and they have no evidence. A bitter Tegan turns to Trevor and Grace and tells them that she wants him gone. Will Grace use the opportunity to get Tegan out of the way?

Tony returns home and finds a note on the door saying that everyone is at The Dog. He smiles to himself before heading there to meet them. Everyone is there - The Osbornes, The McQueens, Amy and Chris. Diane thanks everyone for attending the wedding before asking Sinead and Tony to stand by her. She talks about Sineads declaration of love for Tony in 'The Hutch' before revealing to everyone that they'd been having an affair for months "but then you all knew that because they were carrying on like the deal as soon as my back was turned". She announces to the room that she and Tony will be getting a divorce before calling everyone else snakes.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 2

Tony runs after Diane but Clark and Michael try to stop him. He pushes past. Sinead is left humilated in the pub as everyone is left staring at her. Ste tries to divert attention from her and it works when Michaela turns the tables on him and reveals Sineads infidelity with Ste causing John Paul to leave humiliated and Myra to slap Ste.

Jayne calls Sinead poison and tells her that she is no longer part of the family and is 'as big a scum as your father'. Tony gets to the flat and tries to get in but the locks have changed. Harry opens the door with the chain across door and Tony begs him to open it. Harry steps back and Diane comes forward. Her family arrive shortly after. Diane tells him that she has known for months what's going on and he had plenty of time to stop the wedding. She tells him that after Rob, after Finn she is not willing to be dragged through the dirt by men anymore. Clark and Michael tell him to leave and he says it's his house. They tell him it's not. Diane opens the 'booking forms' folder and reveals that as of that morning Tony has signed everything over to her. He has nothing. He turns to Harry who tells him he is staying with Diane.

Back at The McQueens JP explodes at Michaela for the way she outed his personal business and a hugh fight errupts between everyone but they soon end up taking the piss out of each others romantic woes and the fact that Michaela appears to now be permanently 'glitter face' from NYE. The mood is soon shot down though as the door bell goes and it's social services wanting to speak to Theresa.

At The Lomaxes Ste and Sinead return home and Sinead is panicking about everything that's just happened. Ste questions whats wrong with Tegan but she brushes it off. Sinead gets a shock when Tony knocks at the door - she tells him to go away just as Diane opens the other door. Both women slam the door on Tony at the same time.

Jude returns to Cindys flat happy to have the place to herself. She rolls her eyes when someone knocks at the door and looks terrified when she opens it to reveal Cindys ex, Alex.

So much stuff is happening similar on screen that I've already written i this I'm wondering if I should just get a job

New episodes tomorrow. Will be more detailed in their summaries including dialogue too. One particular episode will get it's own post as I will post close to an entire script for it.

CHILD WARS, STUDENT SECRETS AND KEEPING UP WITH THE SAVAGES

MONDAY JANUARY 5

Out in the village Amy is surprised when she finds Kathleen-Angel pulling at her jacket. She asks where her Mum is Kathleen-Angel shrugs. A desperate Theresa soon comes rushing around the corner looking for her and tells her off for not running away. Amy asks her where she was and she says that she was talking to Dodger outside Price Slice. Amy tells Theresa she needs to be more careful causing Theresa to believe that Amy called social services. Theresa goes off on a mad one at Amy just as Michaela walks around the corner with baby Carmella. Michaela highlights that Theresa left the baby outside the shop. Amy tells her she needs locking up.

Later, to calm Theresa down, Michaela goes to speak to Amy and is fishing about whether or not Amy did tell social services. When Amy goes on a rant about Theresa it triggers Michaelas alarm and she accuses her friend of being a hypocrit and lays in to her about her own mothering skills causing Amy to throw Michaela out of the house.

Jude lets Tony and Cameron stay at the flat in exchange for being her body guards but both have their own issues to deal with as Cameron becomes and outcast in the village and Diane is leaving 'The Hutch' to rot. Jude desperately tries to keep Alex away from Cindy but he keeps pushing for his money and grabs Jude around the neck. Cameron walks by and pulls him off before threatening him. Cameron insists that Jude tell him the truth and she reveals that Cindy dated him under a different name and conned him out of £8,000 before fleeing to Hollyoaks after leaving him stranded in Canada. Cameron says he'll look after her for now but warns Jude to get the money as 'guys like him don't just disappear'.

Liberty is becoming ever frustrated as paparazzi surround the Savages new home wanting to get the scoop on Sienna and Will. Liberty begins to question whether or not she wants to launch her career in the U.K if it will take away from her families privacy so much but Maxine is quick to remind her that her career and her talent is the reason they have somewhere to live and that if anyone messes with her they take them all on.

Ste becomes concerned for Sineads well being as she spends all of her time sitting around drinking. He tells her that she is different to Tony and that she and Diane stand a chance of sorting things out because they're family. He encourages her to go and see Diane now that some time has passed. Sinead heads over to the house and is greeted by Diane's mother Jayne who welcomes her in. Diane isn't there so Jayne prepares Sinead a drink and starts telling her about when Diane met Rob. She is very snide yet subtle in her words and tells Sinead that her dad was almost predatory with Diane and that she was far too young to be burdened with the children of others but too naive and sensitive to be honest about it. Jayne notes that Diane is now free to start a real family and makes sure Sinead can see taht all of her pictures and all of her stuff is gone from the flat. Sinead leaves and Diane returns shortly after, demanding to know where everything has gone from the flat. Jayne tells her Sinead collected it all.

TUESDAY JANUARY 6

Seeing Jude with Cameron only fuels Grace against him after Tegans request. Grace makes a point of getting in Judes face as much as possible and the two of them clash like fighting cats every time they so much as appear in the same room. Cameron questions the issue between them and Jude tells him about Max. Later, Cameron tells Grace to back off and Grace informs Jude that Cameron is a murderer and wont make much of a body guard. Tony, who was seemingly unaware of Camerons recent arrest, tells him that he can't have that kind of publicity around the restaurant when he gets back open and lets him go. Later, Alex approaches Cameron and tells him that Jude is using him and is a 'black widow'. He offers him £2,000 to get him the opportunity to see Cindy alone but will he take it?

Dodger is feeling down after failing to secure another job. He bumps into Amy in the village and she accidentally lets slip that social services visited Theresa, giving Dodger all the ammunition he needs he tells Theresa that he is going to be getting full custody of Carmella. Theresa is becoming more and more stressed but rather than face up to whats going on she decides she is going to have a day of pampering but when her family refuse to join her she soon realises that she also has no friends to turn to. Theresa packs her bags and is about to flee when Phoebe catches her and warns her to stay and prove she can be a good mother. Theresa goes over to Dodgers and tells him that she is going to fight him tooth and nail and win. Dodger highlights that she didn't even bother to bring the kids with her when she left the house and shuts the door in her face.

Tom goes over to see Peri but she is avoiding him and tells him she has too much homework to do before school starts but he is insistent on seeing her. Ste can tell that Peri doesn't want Tom around and so he tells Tom that Peri is grounded. Ste digs for the truth from Peri and she says that she doesn't have time for boys and needs to get focused on school and making up for her recent behaviour so that she doesn't put anymore stress on the family. Tom is listening from the other side of the door and texts Peri saying that the lies need to stop. Peri ignores the message and tells Ste that "it's important to forgive people" and they should invite Leela over for dinner.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 7

A hurrican of colour and confusion hits the village as the students return from their Christmas break and nothing is quite the way it was before. Ross is almost nervously excited about seeing Phoebe and giving her his gift - he's painted a huge portrait of her. Ross is thrown when he takes it to the house and is greeted by a hostile Theresa who tells him all men are scum and to stay away from Phoebe as he will break her heart. Nina seems to be in a state of depression when she returns and Robbie wants to know why. She reveals that she finds it hard to be away from her daughter when she's at Uni - a bombshell for Robbie who had no idea she was a mother. Will it turn him off?

Esther is excited to see Lucy but it upset when Lucy doesn't seem interested in seeing her or anyone else, constantly making excuses about being tired. Esther turns to Carley for advice but is greeted with a hostile reception from her. Esther does some digging and is shocked when she sees Carleys mum and Step-dad dropping some of her things back to halls. Esther avoids seeing them but approaches Carley and says she is shocked that her Mum is still with Rob. Carley brushes it off.

Nancy is released from hospital and Darren says that he will move back in to 'The Dog' to look after her. Debbie is concerned when she sees Darren clutching his chest and tells Nancy who tells Darren that he should continue to stay living at The Roscoes and getting closer to his brothers as they are better parents to the kids when they're not together. She insists that she will be fine and Tom says that he will look after her when Darren isn't there. Debbie tells Darren she is worried about him and that he should slow down - offering to take over his role at 'The Loft' but Darren knows Debbie too well and turns down the offer. Later, Darren learns that Dodger is still looking for a job and based on his previous experience he offers him a managers job at 'The Loft' so that he can spend more time with his family.

Dodger takes Liberty, Maxine and Dirk for lunch to celebrate and he gets a hostile reception from Michaela who is visiting Darren. She tells him that her family has been through enough with out him 'pulling this stunt' right now. She gets even more irrate when he informs her of his new job role which in turn, upsets Debbie. Amy catches Michaela at a bad time and she snaps at her too causing Amy to announce that she will be a character witness for Dodger in the case against Theresa. Is it over for the two friends?

Liberty tries to intervene before things get physical between the girls but a paparazzi snaps her just as she gets clocked in the face by Michaela with a shot meant for Amy. Maxine approaches the paparazzi and tells them to leave the family alone. The paparazzi ask them what they think about Libertys divorce leaving everyone, especially Liberty, stunned.


THURSDAY JANUARY 8

Frankie has caught wind of the fact that Carleys family have been in the village and steals their number from Carleys phone, inviting them all for a family dinner. It's clear that not everything is as it should be and whilst Carleys Mum is nothing but sweet and is full of questions for Frankie, her boyfriend Rob is a lot sharper - particularly after a few drinks. He makes very obvious passes at Debbie who is having none of it and ends up slapping him. As everyone seperates to cool down Debbie sees Rob shouting at Carley outside and has a go at him. He calls her a tart and tells her to mind her own business. Jack, Esther and Frankie come out to see what the commotion is and Carley insists that they drop it. Esther steps forward says "He still does it, doesn't he? He still hits you?" leaving Frankie stunned. Rob laughs off the suggestion until Carley finally confronts him about his years long behaviour.

Jack tells Rob to leave and Tina begs Carley not to do this. Frankie tells Carley she has a family here. Carley tells her Mum that she's "got away" so many times and always taken him back which means she's always bought him back in to her life. Carley tells her Mum that she's finally gotten away and wont ever be going back and she hopes one day she'll do the same. Rob steps up to Carley and spits her face before dragging Tina away. Debbie says they need to help her but Carley says that they can't and that everyone has tried.

With Myra and Nana taking rest in Alicante, JP has become head of the house and is struggling with Michaelas constant warring and Theresa in general. He is about to start his new job and turns to Louis for support but it's not much use as Louis seems to be constantly distracted firstly by Liberty and secondly by Kathleen-Angel causing Phoebe to raise an eyebrow. Phoebe decides it's time to step up and get a job. She is passing Ziggy whose car has broken down and he can't seem tof ind what's wrong with it - after he lists off the things he's checked Phoebe suggests one thing he's forgotten. Impressed by her knowledge he offers her a job at the garage.

Liberty has some explaining to do as she reveals to the family that she may have gotten caught up in a 'Hollywood romance' at the request of her U.S record label and gotten a bit too carried away be getting married to him in order to make money from the related magazine shoot.

Diane decides to open 'The Hutch' and when Tony tries to come in she tells him that he can apply for a job as chef for minimum wage but she wont guarantee him anything. Tony finally loses it with Diane and reminds her that she's far from perfect but Clark and Michael are quick to intervene. Later, Diane says her goodbyes with her family but they're side tracked when they see Alex sprinting towards at terrified Cindy. Alex throws Cindy to the floor before being grabbed by Clark and pinned up by his throad. Clark lets out an incredibly intimidating roar about respecting women and threatens that he will kill Alex is he sees him again. He throws Alex against the wall before switching back a more gentle persona and helping Cindy to her feet.

Tony and Jude come down from the flat after hearing the commotion and Diane thinks they're together. Clark tells Diane that he doesn't want her living alone in this place and tells her that he's going to be moving in once he sorts some stuff back home.

FRIDAY JANUARY 9

With all of Frankies attention being aimed at Carley, Debbie is feeling dejected and bored and decides to hit the January sales hardcore. She bumps in to John Paul who is seemingly overwhelmed by his new job role. The two of them go for lunch and a catch up where Debbie tells John Paul that Craig is getting married to a girl named Ella but she's pretty sure he's been sleeping with his housemate too. Debbie asks if he ever misses him and he says that he used to but now he just has a fond memory of the first couple of years they were together and has let go of the rest. JP asks about Debbies marriage and she says that he cheated on her but JP can't believe that - having known him for so long. Eventually Debbie confesses that she is the one who had an affair with his best-friend as the marriage didn't excite her and turning thirty has made her realise she wants so much more from the world.

JP asks why she came back to Hollyoaks if she wanted more from the world and she says that she wanted to be closer to Steph and regrets not seeing her before she died.

After noting a change in Peri's behaviour for the better, Tegan decides that the family need to move on and tells Grace not to go through with anything she has planned for Cameron but Grace recalls all of the public confrontations between Tegan and Cameron and takes an opportunity. She sends Cameron a series of abusive texts from Tegans phone before later apologising and asking to meet him to clear the air for Peri's sake. Cameron arrives at the scene but is quickly attacked. He is hit over the head before Grace wraps Tegans scarf around his neck and tries to strangle him. A noise disturbs her and she flees, making sure to leave the scarf on Cameron. Debbie and JP find Cameron almost lifeless in the alleyway.

Robbie is bemused at Phoebe working at the garage and worries that it might spark up old feelings but when a very awkward Ross arrives and makes a big speech about not being scum and how he'll make her happy before presenting her with the slightly damaged painting, Robbie is at ease when it becomes very apparent that she has moved on. Robbie decides to call Nina and apologises for being distant. He tells her that her having a child doesn't bother him and she is confused - she never thought it would and is insulted that he thought that. Phoebe and Ziggy continue to bond and Ziggy asks Phoebe questions about Dougie before asking about his friendship with Jason. Phoebe tells Ziggy that they're friends but if they ever were anything more - just let it happen and be there when he needs it.

Holly is attending a tutoring session with Patrick and opens up to him about the lack of father figure in her life but her admiration for Dirk which causes Patrick to subtley put Dirk down and highlight that Dodger has not really achieved much under Dirks parenting. As the session comes to an end the two of them are startled as they walk around the back of the school and find the bruised and broken body of one of the students...

HOLLYOAKS CONFIRM PATRICK BLAKE EXIT

Hey readers (however many of you there are) I'm plot pointing through spring at the minute. Just wanted to check in and see if there's anything in particular people are enjoying/not enjoying more than others.

Got some good stuff coming up for the old school characters and some really detailed and emotional episodes next week (well tomorrow but "next weeks" episodes)

What's gonna happen to Patrick?

I can't well say that now! Karma is going to happen to him.

This one is a longer read than usual it's more like a short script. Monday (today) and Fridays episodes will both be like this. Tuesday to Thursday will be a bit shorter and posted together.

MONDAY JANUARY 12

Previously...
- Holly begins tutoring with Patrick.
- Holly and Jason break-up
- Jason shows admiration for Dougies confidence, Dougie jokingly proposes a threesome
- Ziggy asks Phoebe if Jason is gay
- Patrick and Holly find a body at the school

TITLES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qune1w1i6NY

A montage of clips plays to the above song (Timmy Fisher - Diamonds). All in slow motion. Holly is against a wall crying her eyes out as police and paramedics arrive at the school. Patrick stares coldly at the scene as paramedics begin working on 'the girl'. Jason is in the village watching Dougie play fighting with Carley and Lucy, playing kiss chase. He slaps Trevors bum as he walks past and runs off laughing. [End of montage]

Jude and Dirk arrive at the school where Patrick is speaking to the police. Jude runs up to Holly and grabs her straight away. Holly bursts in to tears.

DIRK
Holly, what happened? Is she...

HOLLY
We just found her. She's...she's alive but - Dirk, it was horrible she must've been there forever. Her lips were blue!

JUDE
What were you even doing here in the first place? School doesn't start until Monday

Patrick finishes with the police and walks over boldly. Pushing past Jude.

PATRICK
Holly was recieving some additional tuition. It seems with everything that has been going on at home she's fallen a bit behind with some of her work and well she's a bright girl. We don't want to see her having to repeat a year like Jason did.

Jude doesn't trust Patrick and the shade in her eyes let's him know that.

PATRICK
They've taken the girl to the hospital and hopefully they'll be able to contact her family. Do you know who she is?

HOLLY
No, I - I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen her here

DIRK
Poor girl. Come on let's get you home.

Dirk begins walking Holly away but Jude holds back and stops Patrick as he's about to walk off.

JUDE
Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to be giving seventeen year old girls private tuition in an empty school building out of term time? Don't think I haven't heard about you 'Mr Blake'.

Jude flashes a smile of warning before sharply turning on her heels and walking away.

INT. THE MAGIC BEAN - DAY

Jason is sat down fidgeting uncomfortably as Lucy, Nina and Dougie bundle through the door all talking over each other. Dougie steps up behind Jason and messes his hair up.

DOUGIE
Oi oi he-man! Bulking out a bit there mate!

JASON
Get off!

DOUGIE
Woooooh! Somebody didn't have their snickers today! What's up with you girly pants?!

LUCY
Nina, darling sweetest wonderful friend - can you get me free skinny decaff almond latte?

NINA
Firstly I don't even get discount because I work for Rosemary Wests evil cousin, secondly if I did it wouldn't be used on whatever rubbish flimsy hipster brew you just said

LUCY
I'm dairy free

NINA
Fun free more like

DOUGIE
I see everyone is feeling the love today! How was your Chrimbo JJ? Get lots of shiny new toys? Any kisses under the mistletoe?

Dougie puckers his lips at Jason who squirms and jumps out of his seat before heading to the counter. Nina joins him and looks him up and down. He looks back at her as if to ask 'What?'

NINA
What did you have for Christmas dinner?

JASON
The usual

Nina raises an eyebrow before looking him up and down again and grabbing a muffin off the side. She takes an abnormally large bite from it whilst looking Jason dead in the eye.

INT - THE SAVAGE HOUSE

Holly is sat in her room, hugging her legs and staring in to space. Maxine knocks quietly at the door and tells Holly that she has a visitor. Tom walks in to her room with a plastic bag.

TOM
I 'eard what 'appened. Are you okay?

Holly doesn't say a word. Tom produces a pile of magazines from the bag and about six blue panda pops.

TOM
I remember you used to drink them all the time when we were little. You used to pretend you were an alien and it used to really wind Cindy up 'cause you end up chuckin' up blue stuff all over the place

Holly gives a faint smile before opening one of the panda pops. She hands one to Tom and they smile at each other before necking them as fast as they can. The bubbles foam up out of Toms nose. Holly bursts in to laughter before sinking back down in her bed.

TOM
Holly - who...who was the girl?

HOLLY
I don't know. It was...she looked like a doll, so fragile and she had this bright blonde hair and it was tied in plaits with-

Tom shuffles away, horrified.

HOLLY
What's wrong?

TOM
Did she have red ribbons? In her hair? Were there red ribbons?

HOLLY
(scared)
You know who it is don't you? Tom? TOM!

Tom sprints out as fast as he can, shoving past Jude and Maxine in the hall.

JUDE
Rude! Weirdo

MAXINE
Jude, that's your little brother

JUDE
So?

INT - HOSPITAL

Leela is at the hospital with Peri. Cameron is conscious but not particularly with it. Leela tells him that she was worried about him and he asks whether she can ever forgive him. Tegan enters the room, on duty, and tells him that he'll be making a full recovery.

Tegan tells Peri that a girl from her school as just been bought in to the hospital and Peri asks who it is but she doesn't know. Peri looks at her phone and has a missed called from Tom.

As Tegan is walking Peri down to see the girl the police enter the hospital and talk to the reception staff. They point in Tegans direction and the police approach her. She asks the problem just as Leela comes out to get Peri.

The police tell her that they have identified the scarf that was used to strangle Cameron and it belongs to her. She is arrested for attempted murder.

COMMERICIALS.... BUY STUFF

INT - POLICE STATION

Tegan is sat in an interview room being questioned about her whereabouts last night and she says she was at home. Unfortunately she was at home alone and nobody can vouch for her. The police interrogate her about her many public fall outs with Cameron and she informs them that he killed her parents but they tell her he was already cleared of this and she has just given herself a motive.

Back at the hospital Leela begs Cameron to try and remember what happened but he can't. She tells him that Tegan needs an alibi and he says that he will say that he knows it wasn't her but he wants her to forgive him for the accident.

INT- THE LOFT

The students have moved in to 'The Loft' for some day drinking which is well under way. Dougie, as usual has ended up topless but Trevor gives him a look of warning as he sits at the bar drinking.

Grace walks in to the bar in the middle of a phone call. Trevor asks who it was and she says that Tegan has given Grace as an alibi for Camerons attack.

TREVOR
What did you say?

Grace is silent. She begins playing with her phone. Trevor slams his hands down on the bar, alarming the students.

TREVOR
What did you say?

She ignores him. Trevor grabs her by the arm and pulls her outside. The students give a collective "whooooo" and go back to their drinking.

OUTSIDE THE LOFT

GRACE
GET OFF!

TREVOR
Grace, you better tell me what's going on because I know that look and I know that means you've done something

GRACE
I told them the truth

TREVOR
Which is?

GRACE
I didn't see her

TREVOR
So you've stitched her up? Left her without an alibi? Left Rose without a mother

GRACE
She has a -

Trevor realises that Grace has been planning to get Tegan out of the way. He homes in on her and puts his face very closely to hers.

TREVOR
Rose is NOT your kid. Fix this.

INT - THE LOFT

Jason has become incredibly drunk and is struggling to keep up with the girls. Nina and Lucy begin dancing on the table as Dougie sits down close to Jason. A drunk Jason leans in to Dougie and slurs his speech

JASON
What you said the other day...

DOUGIE
I am a many or words Mr Jason! Many many words! A plethora of words if you will

JASON
About me...

DOUGIE
Hmm? You shouldn't use so much gel?

JASON
Forget it!

DOUGIE
Hey hey hey

Come on! Talk to Dougie, what's on your mind?

JASON
About the...
(whispers)
threesome...

DOUGIE
THREESOME?! Forget that! Let's have an ORGY!

Dougie once again pulls his top off before jumping on the table and dancing with the girls. He winks at Jason and reaches out his hands to pull him up. Jason is about to take his hand when Dougie comes crashing off the table

INT - THE SAVAGE HOUSE

Maxine answers the door to Patrick and is about to close it but he puts his foot in the way. He says he doesn't want trouble and just wants to see if Holly is okay. Holly comes down the stairs and invites him up. Jude and Maxine watch cautiously and Jude tells Maxine she doesn't trust him. Maxine tells her she doesn't know the half of it.

Holly invites Patrick to sit down and tells him that seeing the girl just bought back all the memories of Callum dying. Patrick talks about what a rough years its been and paints himself as the victim in all comparing Sienna and Cindy in order to get Holly to relate. He tell her he often feels completely alone. She says he's not alone and he places his hand on her leg, thanking her before leaving.

INT - POLICE STATION

Grace and Trevor arrive at the police station and are waiting to be seen to when Tegan walks out. Grace is confused and Tegan tells her that Cameron knows it wasn't her. As they leave the station Tegan turns to Grace and says that Cameron doesn't remember the full attack but she'd better hope that he doesn't. Grace denies all knowledge of it.

TEGAN
I'm not thick Grace - I asked you to get rid of him but I didn't mean kill him.

GRACE
You have to be a clear on these things

TEGAN
I thought you were just gonna scare him off, say boo

TREVOR
Is that really how you thought this would pan out? She's like a dog with a bone this one. You go to University for god sake I didn't realise you were so thick

GRACE
Trevor

TREVOR
You two stay away from each other. I can alread see the cogs turning for your next stupid idea

INT - HOSPITAL

Nina, Jason, Dougie and Lucy walk in to the hospital drunk. Dougies hand is wrapped in a bloody tea towel. He's cut it on a glass. They're told to sit in the waiting area.

Nina and Lucy head over to the vending machine. Dougie leans his head on Jason.

JASON
Listen, what I said earlier I didn't...

DOUGIE
JJ, it's aaaaaall good in the hood! We're pals! Buds! Bromantic wonderment! BFF's! You are Jason and I am your argonaught

JASON
(laughing)
What are you on about?

DOUGIE
We are good
(fist bump)
We sing together, we dance together, we gym together and one day we shall probably sleep together!

There is a tense silence as Jason shifts awkwardly before Dougie bursts out laughing. The nurse tells him she will see him now. He stands up and salutes. Jason gets up to go with him. As they walk down the corridor Dougie waves through all of the windows. He freezes before taking a step back. All the colour drains from his face.

JASON
Dougie?

Dougie walks up the window and places his hand on it. He stares at ''The girl'

DOUGIE
That's my sister

INTRODUCING 'THE DANIELS' FAMILY.

We've already met the sexually ambiguous party boy Dougie (Oliver Stark) a few months ago and this week sees the rest of the clan arrive after last nights revelation that 'the girl' found outside the school is Daniels sister.

Making up the rest of the gang is father Alan (Eastenders star Craig Fairbass) a rough around the edges solicitor who used to terrorize the streets of Chester with Myra McQueen and introduced her to Jacqui and Mercedes Dad. His wife Marilyn (Waterloo Roads Eva Pope) a no-nonsense wasp who taught Cindy, Max, Darren and Mandy at High School.

Completing the set is the siblings - Greg (Hex star Joseph Beattie) the last anyone saw of him he was slashing the tyres on Tony's moped and setting fire to the school labratory, he's not in his thirties, has anything changed? Then there's Kaya - she makes Sinead sound as quiet as a mouse and set to shake things up at Hollyoaks high.

Amazing.

You've got the perfect balance of characters and stories right now - and having the Osbornes and the Cunninghams at the heart of the show feels so 'right'.

Thanks Ross I'm getting quite surprised at the amount of stuff that's popping up on screen that I've done such as DIane conning Tony and then fleeing without warning and Phoebe working at the garage. I guess some stories are sense regardless of who is writing them.

Lots more from Cunninghams and Osbornes over the next few weeks.
