Meanwhile, Hollyoaks' Boxing Day episode sees troubled Doug Carter reach breaking point as he prepares to end it all.

With Texas and Leanne both away for the holidays, Doug (PJ Brennan) struggles to cope as he spends the festive season totally alone.

At his lowest ebb, Doug decides that he'd be better off dead so he drunkenly stands on the edge of a bridge and prepares to jump.

However, just as he does so, Doug finds himself back in his flat with the heavenly vision of Steph Roach (Carley Stenson) before him!

Steph is back as an angel to convince Doug of the positive impact that he's made in Hollyoaks over the past year. She soon shows him a very different world - illustrating that without his influence, one teenage resident would be pregnant, while another character would be a broken man after losing his loved ones at the hands of Silas Blissett.

However, Doug also sees that if he had never arrived in the village, his late girlfriend Bex (Daisy Turner) would still be alive. Faced with the decision of whether to go to heaven and save Bex's life, or return to Hollyoaks and save the fate of his friends, what will Doug do?
