Hollyoaks' Yazz and Tom to make major decision about their future

The following article includes references to the loss of a child.

Yazz and Tom Cunningham will make a major decision about their future in Hollyoaks.

The couple have been going through a tough time of late, as they've been on different pages about parenting following the loss of a child.

Yazz has also been self-conscious about wearing her hearing aids at work due to a rude joke from customer Dave Chen-Williams, though she's since been encouraged to wear them by mate Brooke Hathaway and Oscar Osborne.

In upcoming scenes, the couple will be at odds over Yazz snapping at Tom's young daughter Steph Cunningham-Lomax, so Tom seeks out Jack for some guidance on how to improve his marriage.

Meanwhile, Yazz tries to make amends with Peri for snapping at Steph, but is caught off guard when Peri reveals she's heard Yazz wants to adopt a child.

This will anger Yazz because she has previously admitted to Tom that she's not sure if she's ready to consider adoption yet.

Tom is busy readying a surprise birthday bash with Jack, Tom, Zain and Steph when Peri turns up to announce that Yazz will not be coming.

It's then up to Tom to find Yazz and talk through their issues — and once the pair do meet up, they promise to work together to get through this rough patch.

While he tries to keep up a supportive front for Yazz, Tom confides in Zain about the way he's really feeling about his marriage these days.

It's not long before the tension between them bubbles to the surface again as Yazz decides she doesn't want children. Tom is very much set on wanting a family, so Yazz suggests they take time apart.

Tom has to do some deep soul-searching, but after guidance from family and friends, he eventually tells Yazz that their marriage is worth more than pursuing an adoption.

Yazz is touched by Tom's support, promising that she too is willing to do whatever it takes to save their marriage.
