Hollyoaks teenager Holly Cunningham is left in turmoil next week after fleeing the village with her boyfriend Jason Roscoe.

While Holly is currently planning to escape her troubles in Hollyoaks by running away, in next week's episodes it's Jason (Alfie Browne-Sykes) who insists on them leaving as he is in hot water after blackmailing one of the village's residents.

Although Holly is keen to stand by Jason, it's a difficult time for her to be away from home as her baby brother Hilton is having an important procedure at the hospital.

Digital Spy recently caught up with Amanda Clapham, who plays Holly, to hear about the big week for her on-screen relationship.

How does Holly feel after finding the body in the river this week?
"Holly is mortified. She certainly didn't expect to see that, and things are going wrong for her anyway due to the relationship she has with her mum. After finding out about Doctor Browning's murder, this is another thing bringing her down.

"These horrible things keep happening and I think Holly feels like she can't get the image of the body out of her mind, so she just wants to leave the village."

Would you say it's a build-up of issues then?
"Finding the body was definitely the tip of the iceberg, but before that Holly has fallen out with Cindy and she feels estranged from her now. She just feels like she doesn't know who her mum is anymore.

"Cindy hasn't really explained the full story behind what happened, and Holly hasn't really listened either. She just think it's murder - that's it. So it's definitely a build-up of issues."

If Holly took the time to listen to Cindy, do you think she'd feel differently?
"Well, just before Holly is about to run away with Jason, she does go to say goodbye to Hilton at the hospital and Cindy turns up. Cindy then finally explains how and why Doctor Browning's death happened - well, as much as she can to her teenager daughter!

"Although Holly doesn't understand it, she knows that it was self-defence and she starts to feel like she could move on from this for Hilton's sake. She does feel bad for her mum, so she goes to tell Jason that she has changed her mind and wants to stay in the village after all."

But by this point, Jason has been blackmailing someone and wants to leave the village himself…
"Yes, Jason has his own reasons for wanting to leave. He explains those reasons to Holly and she understands them, although she had no idea what he'd been doing. What Jason says is enough for Holly to realise that they both need to leave."

Holly ends up visiting her grandmother Sheila. What kind of relationship do they have?
"It's very different to Holly's expectations! The first time they meet, Sheila finds Holly and Jason in a very compromising position, which is not the way Holly planned it. They've let themselves in uninvited as nobody was home, and they'd slept on the doorstep the night before.

"Holly expects her grandma to be excited to see her, but actually it's not a nice reunion. Holly is a reminder of Sheila's son who died. Sheila blames Cindy for that, so she tars Holly with the same brush.

"I really enjoyed working with Christine Cox who played Sheila, though - she was brilliant and really lovely. We got on really well and the way they wrote our scenes was perfect. Christine had obviously had a lot of experience, so it was nice for me to work with her. I think we really got our on-screen relationship to match what the writers had wanted."

Knowing that Hilton is about to have a procedure back at the hospital, does Holly feel torn about being away from home?
"As Holly has resolved things with Cindy, she does want to go back because she feels bad that she's not there for her little brother. She keeps getting calls about Hilton and it's another reason for her to think that she should go home. Unfortunately Holly's in a difficult position, because she knows that Jason can't go back."
