Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) shows newcomer Marie Fielding (Rita Simons) exactly what she thinks of her in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
Mercedes is none too impressed by Marie, who has recently been released from prison and shown up in the village to try and patch up her tattered relationship with her sons, Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) and Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti).
The two fiery women are soon having a major run in at The Dog and when Marie rattles Mercedes, the outspoken McQueen tosses a drink over her.
Later on Mercedes, who is pregnant with twins, tells Joel that she wants the father of her babies, Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), to have a relationship with them once they are born.
She urges Joel, who is Warren’s son, to get Marie to leave.
However, a drunken Marie has no intention of bowing out quietly and she is soon making a big scene in The Loft after trying to steal a bag.
Why is Marie so desperate for cash?
Later on and back at the McQueens’ home, Abe gives his girlfriend Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) the cold-shoulder telling her that he needs to be alone.
However he soon seems to be up to no good when he’s seen making a sneaky call behind Cleo’s back.
Meanwhile Freya Calder (Ellie Henry) overhears a conversation between her dad, Carter Shepherd (David Ames) and his girlfriend, Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson).
Seeing that their relationship is floundering, Freya decides she needs to play Cupid between the pair of them and gives her dad some words of advice.
Carter takes his daughter’s words on board and is soon surprising Maxine with a very important question.
However, John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) who has overheard the conversation, is flabbergasted by what Carter has done.
Plus there are more heart-breaking confessions that leave some of the villagers rocked when more news emerges from the night Ella Richardson (Erin Palmer) was killed in a hit and run.
Hollyoaks airs Monday- Friday on E4 at 7pm.
