Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday’s (November 22) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Thursday November 23 at 7pm.

Leela Lomax (Kirsty Leigh Porter) suspected that she might be pregnant earlier this week after a throwaway comment from Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) led her to realise that she was late on her period.

The fire fighter put off taking a test as she was unsure of whether or not she wanted to know just yet, but Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) found the tests in his girlfriend’s bag and encouraged her to take them.

Leela felt under pressure after Joel explained how much he wanted to be a dad and thus made a beeline for the toilets at The Dog, where she was joined by Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), who was celebrating her engagement to Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood).

With the pregnancy test returning a positive result, Mercedes offered support to conflicted Leela, who explained that she’s not sure she wants another baby, stating that she likes her life as it is.

Determined to buy Leela more time, Mercedes decided to take a test herself, certain it would give a negative result which she could then show to Joel, but the plan was scuppered by a rather shocking turn of events.

Mercedes’ test was also positive!

With Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) having agreed to keep shtum about their affair, the former Dog landlady was excited to move forward with her life with Felix, but this development changes everything.

The question is: is the baby Felix or Warren’s? And how exactly will Mercedes proceed? How will Leela, for that matter?

So many questions!
