Hollyoaks is lining up surprise passion for Tom Cunningham and Harley Frater as they betray Peri Lomax next week.

Tom (Ellis Hollins) developed a crush on newcomer Harley last year, although she was quick to rebuff his advances.

Viewers know that Tom's secret feelings are all the more inappropriate given that Harley is in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend Peri – who will grow frustrated by the tension between the pair in upcoming scenes.

Convinced that Harley hates Tom, Peri locks them both in a private room at the school's fundraiser ball, hoping it'll give them the time they need to talk through their problems.

Initially, it seems that Peri's plan has worked a treat as Tom and Harley end up having a heart to heart while locked in together. However, when they later share a kiss, it looks like things could be about to get much more complicated.

What to Read Next

Feeling guilty afterwards, Tom decides to come clean to Peri about his passion with Harley, but how will she react?

Hollyoaks airs weekdays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look screenings on E4 at 7pm.
