The late-night spin-off will be making its return for a one-off episode on Monday, January 6 at 9pm on E4 – with a repeat at 11pm on Channel 4 the following evening.
New spoilers for the action-packed instalment have now confirmed big danger for Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard).

Unfortunately, Breda (Moya Brady) is hot on her heels and armed with a pitch fork, allowing her to gain the upper hand as she attacks Mercedes and locks her in the cage with Tony.
Mercedes reminds Breda that John Paul knows where she is, but is terrified when she starts to suspect that the serial killer may have already murdered her brother.

Breda then plans to leave Mercedes and Tony to die, while she flees the country. With a dangerous fire confirmed for the episode, things may get badly out of control.
Meanwhile, Breda's daughter Goldie starts to put the pieces of the puzzle together after stumbling across various clues to her guilt.
Goldie realises that the engagement ring that Breda gave to Jack has the initials 'LL', for Louis Loveday. She also finds out that Bobby and Curtis have identical hand-made dolls that Breda gave to them.
Growing worried, Goldie shares her concerns about Breda's aggressive behaviour with Sylver, who reassures her that Breda isn't a threat to anyone. However, with Goldie now on the case, is it only a matter of time before she ends up in the firing line too?

David Tag, who plays Sylver, previously teased Hollyoaks Later by telling Digital Spy: "I'm very heavily involved in it. It focuses on my storyline a lot. I'm really, really excited and honoured that they've written me into it so much.
"I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say, but it's big and it revolves around the McQueens a lot.
"There's a lot of violence. The compliance rules are very different at that time of night. There's going to be a lot of blood – some coming from me, some coming from other people."
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
