Next week's Hollyoaks episodes see Luke Morgan's new relationship storyline begin, while Cleo McQueen faces a difficult time at university, and everyone is still worried about Tony Hutchinson.
Here's a full collection of 13 storylines you can look forward to.
1. Luke pursues Mandy
With Luke now back home from prison, he only has one thing on his mind – winning back his estranged wife Mandy. As Luke needs a permanent base as part of his release conditions, Mandy kindly invites him to stay for as long as he wants.
This is bad news for Darren, although we can't say the love rat doesn't deserve a taste of his own medicine. Luke prepares a candlelit meal for Mandy and makes a pass at her, but it may not go the way he'd hoped.
2. Cindy urges Ollie to be honest
Luke's return also worsens Cindy's big dilemma, as she's still not sure whether it's right to keep quiet about baby DJ's true paternity.
Cindy urges Ollie to tell the truth about Luke being DJ's father, but with recent hints suggesting this story will run until October, it seems likely that they'll both be keeping schtum for a while longer.
What to Read Next
3. Cindy and Luke's romance story begins
Hollyoaks boss Bryan Kirkwood exclusively shared the news of Cindy and Luke's new romance with Digital Spy last month, and we'll see the storyline get under way very soon.
Showing there are some secrets she just can't keep, Cindy lets it slip to Darren that Luke made a pass at Mandy.
When Cindy later turns up at Mandy's flat and finds Luke alone and heartbroken, they have an emotional heart-to-heart. Cindy admits how lonely she has felt since Holly left the village, and it's not long until one thing leads to another.
Gary Lucy, who plays Luke, told Digital Spy this week: "I think Cindy falls for Luke quicker than he falls for her. It's a bit of fun at first – a 'will they, won't they?' dynamic. It takes him a while to realise that there are genuine feelings there."
4. Cindy and Luke get caught out
The good news for fans of fast-paced soap storylines is that it takes no time at all for Cindy and Luke's surprising passion to be exposed.
Mandy, Darren and Ollie are all aware of the truth by the end of the week, but who is responsible for spilling the beans?
5. The Tony story takes a new twist
As everyone in the village continues to speculate over Tony's disappearance, Leela tells Diane that she's worried Sylver could be responsible. Leela puts two and two together and makes five, realising that Tony went missing just after he started to suspect Sylver of being a serial killer.
Deciding the best way to tackle a suspected serial killer is to confront them head-on (it's a good job he's innocent!), Diane tricks Sylver into paying a visit by lying that she needs her couch fixed. When Diane asks Sylver if he was the last person to see Tony, how will he react?
6. Liberty makes a big decision
As the day of the implantation arrives, Sienna is excited by the thought that Liberty could soon be carrying her and Brody's baby. However, Liberty's upbeat attitude crumbles at the eleventh hour as she struggles under the pressure and backs out of being the surrogate.
Liberty later confides in Cindy about the situation, insisting that she's not brave enough to be a surrogate. Can anyone change her mind?
7. Cleo struggles under the pressure
It's a big week for Cleo as she prepares to start university, but her self-confidence takes a knock when Mitchell tries to help her swot up and she struggles to answer some of his questions.
Goldie calls for help in the form of Scott's drag alter ego Anita Tinkle, who turns up dressed as a nurse. It's an awkward moment for Mitchell as he struggles to hide his ongoing attraction to the village's most glamorous resident.
8. Cleo makes a scene
Cleo bonds with fellow student Peri on their first day of university, as they're both on the same nursing course. They start enjoying some of the Freshers fun, but Cleo has to let Goldie tag along when she wants to be part of the action too.
Things go wrong when the girls take part in a "food forfeit quiz" at The Hutch, where Cleo is told to pour baked beans over her head. As this proves to be a trigger for Cleo's past issues with food, she refuses and rushes out when Peri does the honours instead.
Nadine Mulkerrin, who plays Cleo, recently explained: "She goes to The Hutch and there are lots of students there. Peri is getting involved and is being really confident, but Cleo feels a bit overwhelmed with everyone being there.
"She becomes the centre of attention when she gets a question wrong at the quiz making her feel a bit inadequate and insecure.
"Also there's this food connection as well with the beans, which I think is a bit of a trigger for her bulimia. She's generally feeling a little bit insecure and down about herself."
9. Mitchell learns about Cleo's past
As Mitchell spends more time with Scott, they talk about Cleo. This gives Mitchell the opportunity to learn more about Cleo's past, including details that she hadn't told him yet.
Imran Adams, who plays Mitchell, recently told Inside Soap: "Mitchell's definitely shocked. But he has a lot of empathy and compassion for Cleo because he genuinely loves her – she's unlike any other girl he's been with, and he has a lot of respect for her.
"So when he finds out about her mental health situation and her exes, Mitchell just wants to help her."
10. Anita is at the centre of a row
With Lisa due back in the village after her time away, the Deveraux family arrange a welcome home lunch – wanting to show their support after the tragic death of Louis. However, rebellious Lisa changes the quiet meal into a full-scale party.
When Anita gets invited along (is any Hollyoaks gathering complete without her?), Walter expresses his disapproval over drag acts and eventually kicks her out for getting too close to Mitchell.
Mitchell fails to stand up to his grandfather during the heated moment, leaving Cleo and Martine both disgusted at him and Walter.
11. Nancy receives some worrying news
With Finn due to be released from prison soon, Diane bites the bullet and starts to spread the word that he'll be coming back to the village.
Nancy is shocked and upset when Diane shares the news with her. How will she cope with the return of the man who tried to rape her?
12. Brooke is close to revealing all
Brooke is still keeping quiet over her pregnancy secret, but desperately wants a confidante. She also fails to turn up for an extended Osborne-Morgan family meal, which has been arranged by Ollie, as she's feeling sick.
Brooke gets very close to confiding in Sally about the baby, but when Nancy interrupts their conversation, she backs down and stays quiet.
13. Sylver and Liberty make a deal
Could Sylver and Liberty become a new business dream team for the village? They certainly hope so, after Sylver struggles to sell his carpentry creations. Liberty suggests they should set up their own business together at The Emporium, allowing her to upcycle his carefully-crafted woodwork.
Sylver isn't so sure that it's a good idea, but when he sees how much it means to Liberty, he agrees to give it a go.
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
