Next week's Hollyoaks episodes see Maxine fall deeper into Liam's nasty trap, while chemistry continues to sizzle between Warren and Mercedes.
Here's a full collection of 9 storylines coming up.
1. Maxine makes a worrying decision
Liam may have just offered Maxine a job at the hair salon, but his true intentions are crystal clear when he continues to throw darts at her photograph on his dartboard of doom.
Maxine is still being pestered by her landlord over missed rent payments, so she asks Liam for an advance on her wages. Keen to keep Liam happy, she also agrees to see his friend Clayton again – unaware that the two men have sleazy intentions for her.
2. Liam drops a bombshell on Maxine
Liam buys Maxine a new red dress so that she can properly 'entertain' Clayton when they meet up. He also purchases some new furniture for Maxine's flat.
Later, Maxine meets Clayton again at The Dog. When Damon sees them together, he assumes that they're on a date.
What to Read Next
When Maxine next catches up with Liam, he suddenly turns nasty by insisting that she owes him money for the new furniture he bought her. With her debts now spiralling badly out of control, will Maxine agree to Liam's 'solution' of sleeping with Clayton for cash?
3. Ollie gets false hope from Luke
Ollie is continuing to obsess over the baby's imminent arrival, convinced that Luke has agreed to help him bring up the little one. Luke tries to explain to Ollie that he won't be able to help with the baby, but Ollie is unaware of his dad's recent diagnosis and tries to persuade him that they'll be able to do it together.
Brooke is confused by Ollie's happy mood, but he explains that he'll tell her everything tomorrow at the opening of the Cunninghams' Grande Bazaar.
4. Brooke goes into labour
Brooke experiences contractions on the day of the Bazaar's big opening. She ends up spending the whole night in labour and is stressed that nothing is going to plan, until Ollie arrives and manages to calm her down.
Ollie is delighted when his baby boy arrives, but there's a real chance that the adoption could still go ahead. Show bosses have cast former Fame Academy judges Carrie and David Grant – the real-life parents of Talia Grant, who plays Brooke – as a couple who want to take on responsibility for the baby. Is Ollie about to have his heart broken?
5. Warren and Mercedes struggle to resist each other
After already giving into temptation once, the big question is whether Warren and Mercedes will end up in each other's arms again.
When Warren helps Mercedes at The Dog after they slept together, it's obvious that she's hot and bothered over his presence.
6. Cindy and Tom launch their new business
The Cunninghams don't let Brooke's labour overshadow their big day, as they bring the whole village together for the launch of the Grande Bazaar. Luke nearly messes things up by serving raw meat to Romeo and John Paul, but Darren steps in to save the day.
Tom takes centre stage by making a speech in front of the gathered guests, while Cindy cuts the ribbon. Yazz also turns up with her new hearing aids and is overjoyed to be able to hear Misbah's voice for the first time in months.
7. Marnie makes a sneaky plan
Not everyone is happy over the Grande Bazaar launch, as Marnie starts to worry about how it will affect her takings at the new patisserie.
Unwilling to sit back and watch her customers go elsewhere, Marnie sets about trying to "steal" visitors to the Bazaar. It looks like war could be brewing between the rival venues.
8. Kyle buys drugs again
Following the heartbreak of Nancy's miscarriage, Kyle tries to convince her that they should try for another baby. However, when Kyle buys more drugs from Jordan and Nancy realises he has been smoking weed, she takes this as a sign that he's too irresponsible.
Kyle doesn't take any notice of Nancy's disapproval and continues to take drugs – is he on a downward spiral?
9. Marnie has an idea for Romeo and Juliet
When she isn't busy protecting her beloved business, Marnie also comes up with the bright idea of changing Romeo and Juliet's surnames. And no, thankfully not to Montague and Capulet.
Marnie reckons it's high time that Romeo and Juliet became official Nightingales, rather than Quinns. Will they be interested?
