Coming up on Hollyoaks, there's a ray of hope for Kim Butterfield when Leah Barnes goes snooping around the empty school.

Kim (Daisy Wood-Davis) is currently trapped in Hollyoaks High after being kidnapped and locked up there by Ryan Knight, who needed to get rid of her after she discovered his killer secret.

Later this month, Leah (ElĂ*-May Demircan) gets bored at the grand re-opening of local restaurant Nightingale's, when her dad Ste Hay helps Tony Hutchinson out on the big day.

Pursuing some excitement to keep her occupied, Leah teams up with Mandy's daughter Ella (Erin Palmer) and breaks into the abandoned school, leaving viewers to wonder whether she'll find a clue to Kim's whereabouts.

Clearly enjoying herself, Leah later pays a second visit to the school with Charlie Dean and they knock on the storeroom door with Kim behind it.

Ste is livid when he finds out that Leah has wandered off to the dangerous building site, so he heads inside with Farrah Maalik to get his daughter back.

Kim is overjoyed when she hears Farrah's voice, but will she be able to shout out and raise the alarm?
