Hollyoaks fans will see the fightback begin against Laurie Shelby tonight (June 20).

Sami Maalik (Rishi Nair) leads the way in Thursday's E4 first look episode, hoping that he can convince Sinead to plead guilty in court.

Viewers know that Sami wants to get Sinead (Stephanie Davis) home as quickly as possible, so he has advised her to admit to assaulting Laurie.

With Sinead reluctant to follow Sami's advice, he seeks help from a surprising source in the show's latest episode.

Sami approaches Georgia (Devora Wilde), a previous victim of Laurie's, and tries to convince her to bring a sexual assault case against the villain.

The lawyer hopes this will be enough to talk round Sinead, who may change her current stance if she hears that Laurie will have to face the music in another legal case.

What to Read Next

With a little help from Sami's fiancée Liberty Savage, Georgia gets on board with the plan and even goes to visit Sinead in prison.

As Sinead's supporters grow increasingly determined to see justice done, is this the beginning of the end for Laurie?
