Warning: The following article contains discussion of attempted suicide that some readers may find upsetting.
Hollyoaks offers a first look at Scott Drinkwell's tragic suicide attempt storyline as he reaches his lowest ever moment tonight (June 9).
Show bosses have announced that they're working with Mind and the Samaritans on an emotional storyline which sees Scott make a suicide attempt after a tough few months.
The brand new spoiler clip above previews a sad moment for Scott in the lead-up to the attempt, as he is left feeling alienated from his family once again.
Scott will attempt to inject some positivity back into the village, by filming people's messages for the future, but is soon left stung by some harsh words from Harry – who is in no mood to participate with the project.
After a row erupts between Harry and his dad Tony, Scott looks hurt when the teenager inadvertently excludes him in a list of family members that Tony would do anything for.
What to Read Next
As the episode continues, Scott's inner turmoil will become apparent when Tony and Harry find him in a bad way, and immediately rush him into hospital.
Viewers know of the difficulties Scott has faced since arriving in the village, but his loved ones are too distracted with their own problems to notice his struggle – only realising when they watch an emotional monologue on his video diary while he's recovering in hospital.
Scott's plot will also form part of a wider Hollyoaks mental health campaign promoted through the online hashtag #DontFilterFeelings.
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
