Hollyoaks' James Nightingale will scheme to get rid of his dad forever when the villain returns to the village next week.

Mac (David Easter) has spent the last nine months in a care home after his horror fall at The Dog last year left him with Locked-in Syndrome.

However, upcoming scenes will see the Nightingales realise that Mac has defied the odds and is now well enough to come home.

Although Mac insists that he is a changed man as he begs for his family's forgiveness, it will soon become clear that this is all part of a wider plan.

As Mac has flashbacks of everyone who has wronged him, it's clear that he's out for blood and hasn't actually changed at all.

With Mac continuing to build his strength, James later gets a big shock when he sees his dad back in the village.

Horrified, James offers Sylver McQueen £10,000 to get rid of Mac by any means necessary, but will Sylver agree?
