UPDATE: |Hollyoaks spring trailer revealed – fire horror, death fears and huge return News

Hollyoaks have dropped its highly-anticipated spring trailer and it’s safe to say that it’s going to be an explosive few months ahead with death fears, fire horror and an iconic return

Hollyoaks has unveiled its spring trailer and it’s packed with anticipated plot twists, dramatic comebacks, and potentially fatal outcomes.

While the weather may be improving, the forecast for the village is anything but sunny. The upcoming storylines promise high-stakes drama, shocking revelations, and emotional upheaval for some of our beloved characters.

Maxine Minniver’s (Nikki Sanderson) life takes a drastic turn as she incurs the wrath of Grace Black (Tamara Wall).

Maxine, resolute in her commitment, goes to great lengths to secure Mercedes McQueen’s (Jennifer Metcalfe) release from prison, asking for one thing in return: to bring down Grace Black once and for all. Trapped within The Loft, Maxine’s future is uncertain – can she escape before time runs out?

Grace’s unyielding quest for power and wealth escalates as she manipulates Frankie Osbourne (Isabelle Smith) and Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass), luring them with the allure of a luxurious lifestyle, reports the Mirror.

However, when their situation spirals into chaos, the stark consequences of their decisions become painfully clear. Isolated and vulnerable, the pair resort to drugs in a desperate bid to numb their distress. But can they find a way out before it’s too late?

Meanwhile, The Blakes are making a grand comeback as Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) makes a dramatic return, stepping in for Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) when she needs him most. His arrival in the village certainly turns heads as the family stroll through, but what implications will his return have for Hollyoaks’ gothic clan and the other residents?

Additionally, the thrill surrounding Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) and John Paul McQueen’s (James Sutton) engagement is far from smooth sailing as the McQueens and Blakes clash over their contrasting preferences.

In typical Hollyoaks style, John Paul makes a daring love proclamation, unveiling a striking new tattoo, but will it symbolise eternal love or become a regrettable decision?

Meanwhile, Diane Hutchinson (Alex Fletcher) is completely charmed by the suave DI Alistair Banks (Drew Cain), although not everyone is taken in by his act.

As Donny Clark (Louis Emerick) delves deeper, it becomes apparent that Banks isn’t the hero he portrays himself to be. But when corruption comes to light, who will emerge victorious?

Tommy’s obsession with Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) escalates, causing a rift between Joel and Leela Dexter (Kirsty-Leigh Porter). As Joel seeks comfort, old flames rekindle with Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin), but could history be about to repeat itself in unexpected ways?

When Lucas Hay, portrayed by Oscar Curtis, is urgently taken to hospital, his father Ste Hay, played by Kieron Richardson, insists on a necessary surgery. However, will Lucas consent or will the tension strain their relationship beyond repair?

Darren Osborne, played by Ashley Taylor-Dawson, seeks answers from Rex Gallagher, enacted by Jonny Labey, about Frankie’s involvement in a mysterious matter. As the Osbornes grapple with supporting Frankie, Darren is left stunned when Nancy Osborne, portrayed by Jessica Fox, delivers the crushing news of wanting a divorce.

The emotional turmoil continues as Darren’s feelings erupt into a heated clash that results in Tony Hutchinson, played by Nick Pickard, getting caught in the middle and receiving a punch.

Simultaneously, disaster strikes at the Osborne residence as a fire breaks out. A horrified Nancy and Frankie witness the flames engulfing their home, but can it be extinguished in time?

In another part of the village, a car is spotted recklessly speeding through, raising questions about the driver’s identity and who might bear the consequences.

Meanwhile, Mercedes McQueen, played by Jennifer Metcalfe, makes an unanticipated visit to Grace Black at The Loft, leaving Grace shocked. Could this encounter finally lead to Grace’s downfall?

In the meantime, as pain and trauma test their endurance, Dillon and Lucas find solace in each other, sharing a kiss that could alter everything. With numerous questions still unresolved, one thing is for sure: love, betrayal, and high-stakes confrontations are inevitable.

Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday on E4 at 7pm and first look episodes can be streamed Channel 4 from 7am
