From car crashes to illicit kisses, explosions to last minute proposals - this winter season Hollyoaks will show us exactly why it’s our favourite prime time soap.
As kind-hearted Maxine Minniver is drawn further into evil Patrick’s web of lies, emotional scenes will unfold - while he tries to convince her to help him die with dignity.
Meanwhile Cameron is out for revenge, and a certain Freddie makes a return from the dead.
On top of all this, will Ste and John Paul be able to make their failed marriage work again? Or call it quits for good?
Of course it couldn’t be the festive season without the tell-tale explosions and mass carnage we all expect from the soaps, so get ready for some seriously action packed scenes this December!
Watch the trailer above - and be warned it does contain spoilers.
