Hollyoaks spoilers follow for the latest episode to air on E4 and be available on Channel 4's streaming service.
The Hollyoaks drama between Mercedes McQueen and her on/off lover Warren Fox and her short-term lover/his brother Jenson Cole continued tonight, as she returned to the village after getting her stoma removed.
The two brothers have been warring ever since Jenson first turned up, but made an uneasy alliance once it was discovered that Jenson is the only suitable bone marrow donor for Sebastian Blake's leukaemia treatment — something Mercedes was stunned to see.

Warren insisted that Sebastian was the only reason that Jenson was still hanging around, but Mercedes was still uneasy. "You know we can't trust him, Warren," she said.
The brothers went to visit Sebastian in hospital, where he told Warren he wanted to go a beach with palm trees and coconuts they could drink out of. He asked Warren to promise that they would go once he had recovered, but Warren couldn't bring himself to.

Mercedes then walked in and, in a heartwarming moment, said: "Look, if I can kick cancer's butt, little man, then you definitely can.
"Sometimes it's not always easy, that's why I got you a chemo bag. We've got lip balm, sweets, for when you have that nasty taste, some fresh 'jamas, and most importantly, a new headset for your console."
As Mercedes handed him the headphones, Jenson got up and made a quick exit from the room, something Mercedes instantly clocked.

In the hospital corridor, Warren asked Mercedes to move in with him, but Mercedes wasn't convinced that Jenson would be happy to only stay there temporarily.
Outside, Jenson and Gemma Johnson — who are working together in a dodgy criminal partnership — had an argument and threatened each other, something that Mercedes secretly witnessed...
Next week will see her plan to find out just what Jenson is up to, but following up from the Sebastian scene today, could the youngster's future be put in jeopardy if she digs too far?
