Hollyoaks fans will meet Dylan Jenkins's mum when she pays a brief visit to the village next month.
Valerie Jenkins, played by actress Tanya Robb, decides to check up on her son after receiving news that he has been knocked down in a nasty road accident.

Dylan is already on the road to recovery by the time Valerie arrives, but he is delighted to see his mum back.
Val also offers her support to her ex Trevor Royle (Greg Wood) following Esther Bloom's decision to keep the baby she was carrying for him and Grace Black.
However, one person who may not be so happy to see Val is Grace (Tamara Wall), who quickly gets jealous over her presence in the village.

Dylan is continuing to hide his cross-dressing secret from Trevor at the point where Valerie visits, but he also chooses to keep his mum in the dark.
James Fletcher, who plays Dylan, told All About Soap: "Dylan wearing women's clothing doesn't come up with her. I think one of the reasons for his cross-dressing is the lack of a female role model in his life. And as soon as his mum's gone, it's back.
"It was nice to play Dylan having a family. They're dysfunctional, but it was great to explore more of his world."
