Mercedes' serial killer son Bobby Costello will be coming back to the village.
Bobby is currently in a juvenile detention centre for the murder of Silas Blissett, Verity Hutchinson and the attempted murder of DeMarcus Westwood.
Meanwhile, his mum Mercedes has been battling cancer.
But next week, the McQueens throw a 'screw you cancer' party as she finishes her chemotherapy treatment.
In the midst of her celebrations, Mercedes gets distracted by a text message and she starts acting suspiciously.
Police officer Donny Clark crashes the party and tells Mercedes and Myra that Bobby has escaped.
Does Mercedes know where he is?
Waterloo Road star Zak Sutcliffe will be taking over the role of Bobby from Jayden Fox.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Zak said: "I'm having a lot of fun with my time on Hollyoaks so far. It's exciting to get into something gritty and complex."
Goldie McQueen will also be making a dramatic return with actress Chelsee Healey rejoining the soap after her maternity leave.
Hollyoaks star quits after nine years - and his final scenes have already aired
Goldie's still out for justice after Bobby left her brother Sylver to die, and she's not stopping until he pays the price.
But with Bobby secretly holed up in The Dog, things take a turn when Tony orders building work on the pub - putting the lad's hideout at serious risk.
Mercedes is forced to act fast to save her killer son.
She must get Bobby out of the village for good… with dodgy Donny watching her every move.
Can she pull it off before it's too late?
Hollyoaks airs on Monday to Wednesday at 7pm on E4.

Max Verstappen reveals why he snubbed Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt's F1 movie
Max Verstappen has revealed the heart-warming reason why he hasn't gone to see the new F1 film which stars Brad Pitt and was produced by Sir Lewis Hamilton. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick 's Joseph Kosinski, F1 tells the story of a veteran racing driver (Pitt) who returns to Formula 1 to drive alongside a hotshot rookie played by Damson Idris. Remarkably, the $300million (£218m) budget movie was filmed in and around the F1 paddock over the past two seasons, with real-life drivers and team members making cameos. Seven-time world champion Hamilton serves as a producer on the film, helping to coach the actors on the track and consulting on the race scenes and dialogue in order to make it as authentic as possible. However, Verstappen, arguably the sport's biggest name and best driver, has tried to keep his involvement in the project to a minimum. The Telegraph report that the four-time world champion, who has been linked with a shock move to Mercedes, declined to film a scene in a nightclub with Pitt. The 2025 grid were invited to a special screening of the film ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, which every driver attended aside from Verstappen and Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, with the Dutchman also absent for the official premiere in New York last week. But when asked why he skipped the premieres, the Red Bull driver had a pretty good reason, telling The Sun: 'Being authentic is not something I have to try and focus on. It's just who I am. 'I don't like to be on the red carpet and dress up in a suit. I don't like to interact with people that I don't really know, and have a fake smile and fake chat. It's horrible, I just don't enjoy it. 'I prefer to hang out with my friends and spend time with my little family. I also have a lot of other projects going on outside of F1. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'So any extra work like red carpets is not what I want to do. I'm at a stage of my career where I've achieved so much professionally. 'I'm just focusing outside of it now, like my big passions to make life more enjoyable and not just being performance driven.' Verstappen recently became a father for the first time after his girlfriend Kelly Piquet gave birth to a baby girl, Lily, in May. The 27-year-old is also a 'bonus dad' to Piquet's five-year-old daughter Penelope and admits he is loving life as a dad to two girls. More Trending 'It's super cute. I'm trying to spend as much time making it all work,' he hadded. 'With the nappies, some are more smelly than others!' Verstappen is currently in action at the Austrian Grand Prix where a win could see him close the gap to title rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Driver killed road worker dad at Dumbarton crash scene
Mr Farr ended up trapped under the 46-year-old joiner's car. The 59-year-old dad-of-two sadly never survived. Mr Farr's four workmates from the road maintenance firm were also badly hurt. First offender Kas yesterday appeared in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow. He pleaded guilty to a charge of causing death by careless driving. READ MORE: Cash machine near Glasgow robbed in early morning heist as thieves steal money Kas, of Johnstone, Renfrewshire, had his bail continued, and he is due to be sentenced next month. The tragic incident occurred on May 9, 2022. Earlier that day, a Mercedes driver had lost control of his car at the same roundabout and hit a light column, which fell on impact. Prosecutor Erin Campbell told the court: "It is this earlier collision which lead to Neil Farr and his colleagues attending on behalf of Amey. 'The purpose was to make safe the falling light.' Mr Farr and his colleague, Andrew Taylor, arrived first. Colleagues Paul Jordan, Keith McFadzean and Jamie Hernon then turned up. Kas meantime had been travelling from Glasgow with his partner on way to check out a joinery job. One motorist was aware of Kas going past him on the A82. READ MORE: Fans spot Lewis Capaldi's special Celtic nod during Glastonbury comeback gig Miss Campbell then explained: 'He negotiated the roundabout too fast for the weather conditions. 'As he exited, he accelerated and lost control of the vehicle, which began to wobble. 'Kas could not regain control - this resulted in the car sliding, mounting the grass verge at speed and colliding with Mr Farr and his colleagues, who were standing close to one another working on the light column.' Some of the men were flung onto other parts of the verge. Mr Farr was trapped under the BMW. Passers-by – including a nurse – stopped to help before mercy crews arrived. Mr Farr went into cardiac arrest and was described as being in a 'critical condition'. He was freed from beneath the car, but passed away due to head and chest injuries. The much-loved dad is survived by his partner of more than 20 years and his two sons. Miss Campbell also detailed how the other men were affected by the incident. Mr Jordan was unable to walk for up to five months following surgery on leg fractures. Mr Hernon was off work for 10 weeks and Mr McFadzean seven recovering from their injuries. Mr Taylor suffered muscle and ligament damage. READ MORE: 9 high rise demolitions that reshaped Glasgow's skyline as Caledonia Road next The advocate depute added all had been left with 'significant psychological distress' from what happened. Crash investigators meantime found the tread of a tyre on Kas's car was below the legal limit and could have contributed to the collision. Allan MacLeod, defending, said Kas was 'extremely sorry' and that he had also tried 'as best he could' that night to help the men he had hit. Lord Armstrong adjourned for reports until August 5 in Edinburgh. The judge told Kas: 'You now stand convicted of this grave charge in what is a tragic case.'

Coronation Street star gives birth to second child and shares adorable name
Former Corrie star Sonia Ibrahim is best known for playing villainous Mel Maguire in the ITV soap, but she has since moved to Channel 4's Hollyoaks, where she plays the enigmatic Kat Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Sonia Ibrahim has welcomed her second baby, announcing his adorable name on Instagram. The soap actress, 36, posted a photo of baby Carter Benjamin Machin, giving her followers a glimpse of her sweet bundle of joy. Sonia, best known for portraying her character Mel Maguire in Corrie, could be seen gazing at her new baby in the photo she shared. She wrote: 'Sunday 22nd June at 10:26pm my life became complete. My beautiful boy Carter Benjamin Machin arrived, 7lbs of pure perfection. You are loved more than you will ever know little man.' Fans and friends flocked to the comments to congratulate Sonia, who is also mum to three-year-old Sienna. Fellow Corrie star Lucy Fallon wrote: "Gorgeous, congratulations xxxxx." Mum-fluencer Lucy Elizabeth Adamson replied: "Stop it," followed by a series of crying emojis. Ashely Taylor Dawson, who plays Darren on Hollyoaks, added: "Congratulations to you and your beautiful family! So happy for you all! Massive love." Actress Sonia announced she was growing her family in February, when she shared an adorable clip showing her eldest, Sienna with her little hands over the scan photo. Another clip in her reel showed her posing in a mirror, her growing bump on show. Proud mum Sonia wrote: "All of my dreams have come true, half way there and we can't wait to meet you our beautiful baby boy." Her post was met with hundreds of comments from well-wishers. Sonia had her baby shower less than a month ago, where her friends and family joined her to celebrate the imminent arrival of her second child. She posted a reel on Instagram from the event, where she could be seen doing a happy dance, posing with members of her family and showing off her baby-blue themed decor. At the time, Sonia wrote: "The most perfect afternoon spent with the most beautiful people showering my little Prince. Thank you so much to the kindest, most thoughtful beautiful besties I could wish for organising my baby shower we love you." Devoted soap fans will remember actress Sonia Ibrahim's role as villainous Mel Maguire in Corrie. She called the cobbles home between December 2016 and October 2017. Mel became embroiled in Bethany Platt's (played by Lucy Fallon) harrowing grooming narrative, helping villain Nathan Curtis (portrayed by Chris Harper). Mel's final storyline involved a tense kidnapping attempt on Bethany, aimed at preventing her court testimony against Nathan which, thankfully, ended with Bethany's release. Sonia has in the past expressed how proud she was to be part of the iconic soap. She told Lancs Live: "I was literally over the moon and I cried my eyes out when my agent told me [I was joining]! "It's such an amazing place to work and it's been an honour to be here. I was really excited to meet everybody, because I'm a fan of Coronation Street and I watch the show anyway." Since leaving the cobbles, Sonia took a part in BBC's Waterloo Road as Jamilah Omar. Most recently, she joined the Hollyoaks cast as the enigmatic Kat, linked to resident Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey). Her first appearance in the Channel 4 drama aired in November. Her first episode saw her join Ethaniel Davy, who stepped into Jacob's shoes.
