Warning: The following article contains discussion of attempted suicide that some readers may find upsetting.



Over on Hollyoaks, there's a devastating storyline coming up for Scott Drinkwell as he tries to take his own life.

Show bosses have been working closely with The Samaritans and Mind on the storyline to ensure that the issue is portrayed sensitively and safely.

Scott (Ross Adams) has often struggled with finding his place within the village and recent episodes saw him left distraught when he was rejected by his long-lost mother.

These new pictures also hint at even more heartache to come for Scott as newcomer Kyle (Adam Rickitt) decides to ask him out on a date.

Scott is overjoyed to have attracted the new arrival's attentions and believes life is finally looking up for him, but in reality Kyle has a hidden agenda for getting close to him.

That's because Scott has overheard a revealing conversation between Kyle and Ryan Knight in the pub toilets and Kyle wants to find out exactly how much he knows. Could Scott be in for another upsetting experience if Kyle's true motives become clear?

Later that day, Harry Thompson and Tony Hutchinson make a horrifying discovery when they return home to their flat and it's not long before Mercedes spots Scott being stretchered out of the building and put into an ambulance.

While everyone waits for news on whether he'll pull through, Mercedes and Diane search through Scott's video camera for clues and it dawns on them that he's tried to take his own life.

When Scott later regains consciousness in hospital, can his family help him to see how loved he is and just how much he has to live for? And how honest will he be about what drove him to this low point in his life?

Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Monday, June 12 and Tuesday, June 13 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.

Poor Scott I hope he survives and is helped, he has a good heart

[Perdita]

Monday

An excited Scott is preparing for the MS awareness day that he's organised, but no-one has any time to record a message of hope for his video diary.

At the same time, Kyle reassures Ryan that he'll find out how much Scott heard when they were in the toilets.

Soon afterwards, the fete is buzzing and Nancy is proudly manning the MS awareness stall, but when Scott puts her on the spot to do a speech, she has a tremor. Tony blames Scott, but Scott's mood improves when Kyle unexpectedly asks him on a date.

Later, Tony and Harry are alarmed by what they find when they get home. Mercedes rushes over to them in the village when she sees an ambulance and a barely conscious Scott being stretchered out of the flat, but what's happened?

Meanwhile, Darren wants Tom to get back into the driver's seat after the accident, but Tom isn't ready to face his fears. Peri and Yasmine make fun of him, but Lily gives Tom the support he desperately needs.

Elsewhere, Lily is scared that her scars from the crash will be permanent as she prepares for her hospital appointment.


Tuesday

Mercedes and Diane try to make sense of what's happened to Scott and they wonder whether he was attacked?

Mercedes finds Scott's video camera, hoping there's a clue on there. However, Diane and Mercedes are haunted by the footage.

Soon afterwards, Mercedes and Diane arrive at the hospital. They continue to watch the camera footage and are stunned by the next part of Scott's video and when they see the pain in Tony and Harry's eyes, they realise that Scott tried to take his own life.

Scott is now conscious and sitting up in bed, but the light has gone from his eyes.


Wednesday

Diane thinks that it was a cry for attention from Scott, while Esther encourages Mercedes to support Scott, pointing out that he needs a friend.

Later, Mercedes arrives to see Scott.

Meanwhile, Lily is also at the hospital for her check-up about the scarring from the accident. She's unaware that she's missed her family by seconds as they all go into Scott's room.

Elsewhere, Tom is in his element when he replaces Scott as the magician at the fete. Lily is his reluctant glamorous assistant, but she's still thinking about her hospital appointment. Tom is worried about Lily and Lily is floored when she finds out about Scott from drunken Mercedes.


Thursday

Lily is alarmed when she sees Scott in a makeshift magician's costume trying to leave the hospital for his next gig.

Meanwhile, Darren tells Kyle that they need more weed so he can get Nancy the best treatment. Later, Ryan offers Kyle money to leave. However, Kyle turns up at Ryan's flat and reminds him of the night they spent together. Kyle arrives home with some more weed for Darren.

Elsewhere, Mac finds out that Nathan's headstone is ready and asks Alfie to come with him to lay it. Alfie asks James along too, but he won't go if Mac is going.

Mercedes tells James about Scott and they make a pact to be more aware of people's feelings – starting with James agreeing to go to Nathan's grave for Alfie's sake. However, Alfie doesn't want Marnie to know, leaving James conflicted.


Friday

Marnie confronts Mac about Nathan's headstone. He agrees that she can come to the graveyard, but James can tell that his mother still loves Mac.

Alfie is stunned when Marnie asks him to put in a good word for her. Alfie does so and surprisingly, Mac starts organising a date night.

Meanwhile, Neeta, Hunter and Alfie are organising the school ball in honour of Jade.
