Hollyoaks' troubled dad and son Felix and DeMarcus Westwood are to receive their own "single-strand episode".
This announcement was made by producer Lucy Allan at a recent press event, where she told Digital Spy and other media: "We will continue to follow Felix and DeMarcus's story as that moves through.
"We will build to a single-strand episode of that which will air around the time the Black to Front project did last year."

Allan elaborated: "That will prominently be a two-hander. It's one of those episodes where Hollyoaks strips it all back and brings it back to the characters.
"We have two characters who, when they can't find any other distractions, are forced to sit in front of each other at the table and forced to communicate. It'll be about how we build and find a resolution to that story."
Felix and his son's relationship will be under some additional strain after DeMarcus was arrested for the suspected murder of PC Saul Reeves.

The teenager was eventually released under caution after refusing to comment on any of Lexi Calder's questions, yet upon his return home, DeMarcus faced the wrath of his old man.
To help Felix understand why he carried a knife around with him, DeMarcus admitted he felt "weak and helpless" due to the constant bullying at school, hence he was protecting himself.
"I know I shouldn't have but I just wanted to stand up for myself, like you said," he told him in a first-look episode this week.
Hollyoaks now streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video.
