Next week's Hollyoaks sees Tegan and Diane clash over Dee Dee's treatment, Mac return to the village, and James plot to get him out... at whatever cost
But before we get into all the gory details of next week's storylines, let's remind ourselves what this week had in store.
The Nightingales found out Mac Nightingale was awake after Yazz Mallik pretended to Alfie Nightingale that he thought he called him. They then rushed to hospital, where they were shocked to see him awake and out of bed.
While James Nightingale wasn't pleased that his father was awake, Mac was keen for them to be a family again.
The Nightingales then argued about whether or not to let Mac back into the family after his past behaviour.
Things with Russ Owen and his wife-to-be Mercedes McQueen took a turn for the worse when he started to suspect she was a serial killer after noting all her previous husbands seem to have died...
