Over on Hollyoaks, the final chapter of Laurie Shelby's dark storyline begins as Sinead pays a visit to him in prison.

Laurie (Kyle Pryor) makes contact with Sinead shortly before his sentencing hearing, having decided to plead guilty to his attempted attack on Diane Hutchinson.

Sinead (Stephanie Davis) is disgusted to receive a letter from Laurie and heads off to visit him at the jail, where a tense exchange follows.

Afterwards, Sinead is determined to forget about Laurie and seeks a distraction by arranging to attend a music festival with Lisa Loveday and Cleo McQueen. Diane tells Sami Maalik that Sinead needs someone to look out for her, so he agrees to go with her too.

The next day, Laurie attends court and is sentenced to four years in prison for what he did to Diane.

While being escorted away in a police van, he crosses paths with Sinead's brother Finn and they strike up a conversation. Finn admits his own crimes and urges Laurie to do the same.

When Laurie mentions Sinead, Finn realises who he is and lunges at him – and the chaos that follows causes the van to crash. Will this be the end of Laurie, or does it give him the opportunity to escape?


Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Tuesday, August 6 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
