View Full Version : Hollyoaks Spoilers 22nd - 26th April 2013
Will Savage comes close to losing fiancée Texas Longford later this month as she catches him kissing her best friend.
Will (James Atherton) is sharing a passionate moment with Leanne Holiday outside The Dog in the Pond when Texas spots his shock betrayal, All About Soap has revealed.
Aware that Leanne (Jessica Forrest) is developing strong feelings for him, Will is only kissing her to make sure she stays on his side.
With a torn Leanne threatening to tell Texas the truth about Will's manipulation, the village villain hopes to keep the feisty blonde quiet by showing a romantic interest in her.
When Texas (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove) realises that Will has betrayed her with Leanne, she is finally honest with his brother Dodger (Danny Mac) - admitting that he's the one she really wants.
Will continues to spy on Texas via CCTV footage and fears that he's already lost her when he spots her climbing into the back of Dodger's van.
Texas is relieved to have an excuse to break up with Will, but when she tries to do so, he begs for forgiveness and claims that he has a life-threatening aneurism.
Given Will's recent history of lies and deceit, this could be yet another twisted scheme - but it may just be enough to change Texas's mind about the split.
Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
Mercedes McQueen and Doctor Paul Browning will face terrible danger at the hands of Clare Devine later this month.
Clare (Gemma Bissix) steps up her evil behaviour when she misses out on the ransom cash she has demanded in exchange for Mercy's safe return.
The ruthless schemer has been holding Mercy captive in the hope of securing a £200,000 payout from Browning and the McQueens.
When Browning (Joseph Thompson) finally gets the cash together, he follows Clare's instructions by leaving it in a gym bag at Atwell's. Unfortunately, student Leanne Holiday has an identical bag and they soon get mixed up.
Clare is furious when she finds a bag full of sweaty gym gear rather than cash. Fearing she's been double-crossed, she gets her revenge by locking Mercy and Browning in a cage together and threatening them with rabid dogs.
Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes, told All About Soap: "Clare moves Mercy to a scrap yard and locks her up in this cage. I have no idea how Clare has the strength to overpower Mercedes. It's one of those TV mysteries!
"She can't escape, because savage dogs are surrounding the cage, and Clare warns they'll attack her if she gets out. She's stuck in this cage in the middle of nowhere, with no-one to hear her cries for help."
She continued: "Browning meets up with Clare and she lures him into the cage and then whacks him with a heavy stone, leaving him with a nasty head wound. Clare's obviously a very powerful woman!"
Mercy and Browning realise how much they mean to each other as they are reunited in the perilous situation. However, with Browning injured, his life is left on the line.
Asked what the future may hold if both characters survive, Metcalfe replied: "I think they're a match made in heaven, so they could go all the way - she might make it up the aisle this time! But they test each other so much, they could push one another away. It's one extreme to the other with them."
Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Tuesday, April 23 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.

Texas is shocked to see Will and Leanne kissing.
The unfortunate moment for Will comes as he and Texas have been celebrating their stag and hen parties.
After witnessing Will's betrayal, Texas admits to Dodger (Danny Mac) that she was relieved by what she saw - confessing that he's the one she really wants.
The next morning, Will fears that he's lost Texas for good when he watches CCTV footage of her climbing into the back of Dodger's van.
Texas is ready to break up with Will when she next sees him, but he leaves her questioning everything again by claiming to have a life-threatening aneurysm. Is he telling the truth or is this another desperate scheme?

However, as viewers are aware, Carmel's mum Myra ended up in bed with Jim last week. Will she tell Carmel the truth and come between the new couple?
Hollyoaks fans see the Mercedes and Clare storyline escalate next week with a dramatic hostage situation.
When evil Clare (Gemma Bissix) misses out on getting the ransom money she has demanded for Mercy's safe return, she takes her revenge by locking the feisty McQueen in a cage surrounded by vicious dogs.
As Doctor Browning arrives on the scene, he is reunited with Mercedes for the first time in weeks - but with Clare hell-bent on getting even, the couple are in serious danger…
Digital Spy recently caught up with Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes, to hear her take on the storyline and more.
You're back on screen with a bang after a little break. How does it feel to be back?
"It's fab to be back. It took me a couple of weeks to warm back up again, as they always chuck me back in with a massive storyline! I'd been hoping that I'd get an easy ride for a month or two! (Laughs.)
"It was quite challenging for a couple of weeks as I was getting back into the swing of things, but I soon got to grips with it again and it's great to be filming some really good stuff. I'm really enjoying it."
Part of your time off was for a pantomime at Christmas. Did you enjoy that new experience?
"I loved it. It was very tiring, and everyone pre-warned me that I'd be ridiculously shattered. I thought I'd be fine, but they were right! It was really fun, though, and I met some great people. It was quite nice to just try something new for four weeks."
When did you first hear about the Mercedes and Clare storyline?
"I honestly didn't know about it until shortly before I came back. It was great news to see that Clare would be coming back. Mercedes is a proper bitch, and it's quite nice to bring one of the old-school bitches back to challenge her.
"It's been great working with Gemma again, too. It's been four years but nothing has changed. We have a real laugh on set and produce some really good stuff together."
What made Mercedes want to team up with Clare in the first place?
"I think it was just desperation. Mercedes just wanted to get back at Doctor Browning. She saw an opportunity to do that and wouldn't let it pass."
How does Mercy feel now that things have taken such a turn for the worse?
"It's the last thing she wanted! But at the same time, there's still a part of Mercedes that wants to pay Doctor Browning back for playing games with her in Las Vegas. As bad as it is, I think she's slightly enjoying the fact that she's making him feel the pain. But in the long run, she does want to work things out with Doctor Browning."
Knowing what Clare is like, does Mercy genuinely fear for her life in any of the scenes?
"Yeah, I think she does. Mercedes knows that Clare is an absolute oddball and a loose cannon. Anything can happen when she's around!"
How do you think they compare to each other in the bad girl stakes?
"I think both characters are quite different. Clare is definitely capable of more, because she's colder and probably more evil. Mercedes has got a heart underneath it all."
What can you tell us about next week's scenes which see Mercy being held captive in a cage by Clare?
"They're really fab scenes and there's a lot of high drama. They weren't very glamorous to film, as we were in the middle of a cage in a scrapyard when we'd been having all of the blizzards and the snow. However, once we watched some of the footage back, we could see that it was worth every minute.
"First of all, Mercedes is trapped on her own in the cage, but then Clare brings Doctor Browning along too. She threatens both of them with some wild dogs, so it's all very dramatic!"
Were the dogs scary in real life?
"No, they were like little pooches! We were asking, 'How the hell are we going to make those look scary?!' They had a limit on the dogs they could bring and how vicious they could be. But through camera angles, lighting and close-ups, they managed to make them look scary. I just wanted to cuddle them, though!"
How does Mercedes feel about seeing Browning again?
"She's really happy. I think at one point she does realise that her life is at risk, but she also sees just how far Browning will go for her. Browning means the world to her at the end of the day, and Mercedes is over the moon that he's come to save her.
"What the writers really wanted to get out of these scenes was to show how much these two characters care for each other, so I hope that comes across."
By this point in the storyline, Jacqui has sacrificed a huge deal for Mercedes. How would Mercy feel about that?
"As they're blood sisters, Jacqui will always go the extra mile for Mercedes. I think this just proves to Mercedes how much she means to her sister, and that's really nice."
We know you're good friends with Claire Cooper, who plays Jacqui, so how do you feel about her moving on?
"I think it's great for Claire, because she made the decision to leave and obviously I support that. I think it's a good thing for her. I've had lots of friends in the show who've left and gone on to do great things or even changed their career paths. I'm sure whatever she ends up doing, she'll be very happy with, so I wish her all the luck."
We know Clare Devine is back for a longer period in the summer, so is Mercy likely to hold a grudge if she makes it out of the cage alive?
"I really don't know - she's already had quite a big stand-off with Mitzeee, so maybe Clare coming back will bring it to a whole new level!"
What do you make of the recent changes to Hollyoaks?
"I think they've been brilliant. The minute everyone heard that [executive producer] Bryan Kirkwood was coming back, there was a real buzz about the place. That seems to be escalating now, because we're all talking to each other about the storylines we're getting and we're really excited to see what's coming up next!"
