HOLLYOAKS 16TH JULY 2025
Transcript
00:00You stay where you are.
00:03Bobby messed up in the past.
00:05He killed my sister and if it was down to me, he'd be six feet under himself.
00:09Maybe I could take my family away on a trip.
00:11And then my mother and John Paul will find out just how much they need me.
00:13Jess, you can't! Jess!
00:15How could you just leave Mark and Tori? The whole trip was your idea.
00:18Why have you barely been in touch with me while you've been gone?
00:21What's wrong? Yesterday you couldn't keep your hands off me.
00:24That was yesterday. The man I'm gonna marry is waiting for me.
00:27Grace, you've just come out of a coma.
00:29There'll be time for rest when we've found our kids.
00:31I could be halfway around the world by now.
00:33You never know. They could be just running the corner.
00:36Hey, your dinner? I'd order, sir.
00:59Jessamy Stoddart as Liberty.
01:04Hollyoaks on 4. Hashtag Hollyoaks.
01:13Bobby steals a phone.
01:16Point!
01:17With the hood of his green sweatshirt up, Bobby darts down an alley and along a back street with a stolen phone.
01:25Jez locks his shed door and smiles to himself.
01:28Sienna's looking at photos of John Paul and Jez in her flat.
01:32Liberty comes over.
01:34Oh, what do you think?
01:37Dad's been groveling to me since he got back.
01:39Has he?
01:40Yeah, so I thought I'd sort these for his pre-wedding tea party.
01:43Wedding? What wedding?
01:45At Castle McQueen, Mercedes, Cleo and Myra are setting up for the tea party.
01:49Hey, Merce, you're a star sorting out this party stuff with everything you've got going on.
01:55Well, we've all done our bit, haven't we?
01:57Prince and Goldie.
01:58Where are them two?
01:59Uh, Manchester. Even you. You've sorted loads.
02:04Well, of course they have.
02:06I'm a living saint.
02:08And, um, John Paul's mum and us mums, we do anything for our sons, won't we?
02:14Castle McQueen.
02:16Mum.
02:17You okay?
02:19Yes.
02:21Yeah, you.
02:23No.
02:26No, I'm not safe.
02:28I can't come home. I can't go to the police. They think I killed Ian.
02:32Mum, they'll put me away forever.
02:35I'll make sure that they don't.
02:37You don't have a choice.
02:39Meet me at the folly.
02:41At five. And bring money. As much as you can.
02:45I'm in danger if I stay around here. Right? And so are you.
02:50I don't understand.
02:52Before I escaped, Claire said that if I don't do exactly as she says, she's gonna hurt you.
02:57Claire, what are you talking about?
03:00Mum, she tried to traffic me.
03:02Yeah.
03:04What? You...
03:06Bobby.
03:08Mum.
03:10Mum.
03:11The batteries died on the stolen phone.
03:13Dad's getting married, remember?
03:16Oh, he's with the gun again then?
03:18No, no. He's not. He's engaged to John Paul. He loves John Paul.
03:23I could really think a party's a good idea when she's...
03:27Maybe it's gonna help to get out of the house. And this is so important to Dad.
03:30He is marrying the man who he loves more than anything.
03:33So let's get to Castle McQueen. We've got a wedding to celebrate.
03:36Sienna leaves with Martha and Liberty hangs back.
03:40Ooh!
03:42She picks up the photo of John Paul and Jez that Sienna left behind,
03:46then smashes it on the floor.
03:48Claire's on the phone.
03:50Listen, Guy, I don't care if Kat's in prison.
03:54Just keep a close eye on her and we'll decide what to do with her later, alright?
03:57She puts a passport in a box as Grace comes downstairs.
04:00Right. When are you gonna start to help me with my child?
04:04When you help me get my kid back.
04:06I will, alright? But the hospital's called and I've gotta go in for some check-ups.
04:11But we're not in a rush to get Tori back, right?
04:13Wrong.
04:15Bobby and Jacob could spill to the police at any minute.
04:17Plus, Tori's finally got back from her holiday.
04:19This could be my only chance to take her on another one. Permanently.
04:22Once I get myself settled somewhere, somewhere safe,
04:25then I'll help you get your kid back.
04:26Still, getting Tori back from the Blakes today.
04:30How are you gonna do that when I'm not around?
04:32I'll just have to think of another plan.
04:35Grace turns and picks up her keys, then walks off.
04:40The divine one.
04:42Jez and John Paul come into Sienna's.
04:45But you're lucky.
04:47Broken up from school. You've got weeks of summer holidays to look forward to.
04:51Oh, then there's a small matter of our wedding next week.
04:54Don't change the subject!
04:56Liberty's there.
04:58I still don't understand how a bonding trip to France can end up with you on a festival crawl.
05:05Look, Tori and Mark wanted to spend every day at the waterpark,
05:08and I wanted to spend every day immersing myself in the culture.
05:12Immersing yourself in rugby lads, more like...
05:14Oh, they were just random.
05:15It's not the point, though, is it?
05:17I needed you here to help with wedding prep.
05:19Instead, you're off living some...
05:21hippie traveller fantasy.
05:24Sounds to me like you don't know the man you're marrying.
05:28You what?
05:30Well, Jez is a free spirit.
05:32You know, he has a soul of an adventure. It's the Aquarius in him.
05:34He needs spontaneity. You can't deny him his adventures.
05:37I don't need you to defend me, Liberty.
05:40Oh, do you not?
05:42I've got enough people meddling in my life right now as it is, thank you.
05:46Oh, John Paul.
05:48I'm sorry. You're right. I should have stayed here.
05:51But I swear, the longer I was away, the more I missed you.
05:55Spending the rest of my days with you is going to be the greatest adventure of my life.
06:01John Paul beams and Jez kisses him.
06:05Mercedes is on the phone.
06:06The person you are calling is unable to take your call.
06:12She spots Claire.
06:14You twisted evil cow!
06:17You owe me £4.50.
06:19I know, Tony's prices are a joke.
06:21You tried to traffic my Bobby and I'm going to kill you.
06:25Mercedes, I'm already dying.
06:27And I'm far too weak to run around trafficking children.
06:29Bobby is lying to you, again.
06:31You wouldn't lie about something like that.
06:32Oh, no?
06:33Well, Mummy, I promised I didn't do in Tony's sister with a bookcase.
06:36And he tried to attack me, remember?
06:37You!
06:38That's the lie.
06:39And you'll never change!
06:41Oi!
06:42Bert, get off her!
06:44Do you want to tell Sergeant Savage that they're still in contact with Bobby?
06:47Mummy, Mummy!
06:48Sorry, wait.
06:49Tori runs to Claire.
06:51Wait.
06:53Are you paying it?
06:54A woman's got cancer.
06:55Don't worry about her, Dodger.
06:57She thought I spilled her coffee on purpose.
06:59Big fight over a little drink.
07:00My child needs me.
07:03That's all that matters right now.
07:05I've missed you, sweetheart.
07:06Can we hang out today?
07:07Yeah.
07:08It's your dad's pre-wedding party, isn't it?
07:10Can I babysit?
07:12Ah, I'm not letting this one out of my sight.
07:14In the price slice, Tony lets Liberty go ahead of him at the counter.
07:20Makes sense.
07:22Incense, eh?
07:23What, you got a dodgy smell?
07:24I could say that.
07:26Wait, isn't it Jez's pre-wedding party today?
07:28Why aren't you there?
07:30Now, something this morning really turned my stomach.
07:33Is the incense saying no more?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Just not really in the mood for a big do, you know?
07:39Wine and speeches and blurting out things you might regret.
07:45I am going home.
07:46See you later time.
07:47See ya.
07:49Thanks.
07:50Tony places an item on the counter, then takes out his phone.
07:54Hey Mercedes, it's me.
07:56Look, give me a call when you get this call, yeah?
07:59You know, what I said at the wine tasting was unforgivable.
08:03Let me make it up to ya.
08:04At the tea party in Casa McQueen.
08:11Hey.
08:12Sienna's at a table with Martha and Jez.
08:15Martha taps her mug and stands.
08:17Hello.
08:18Family.
08:20Friends.
08:22And others.
08:24I'd just like to say a few words about Jeremy.
08:27We've shared a few fights and he's a very headstrong boy like his mother.
08:32He always wanted to be different.
08:34So everybody could tell him apart from Patrick, he wore a green emerald jumper.
08:38And that was before.
08:42Jez looks up at her.
08:44Sorry, what was I?
08:45Oh yeah.
08:46Jeremy, John Paul.
08:49I think you're going to be Jeremy's...
08:54Salvation.
08:56Salvation.
08:57His salvation.
08:59My mother of the bride's speech is gonna warm up in the water.
09:03Mother of the what?
09:04So, to Jeremy and John Paul, may your future be better than your past.
09:10Hey!
09:11Yeah, Jez and Jeremy are my little baby baby.
09:15Jeremy, I always hope for better things for you and I.
09:19So I just want...
09:20Mother, you're looking a bit tired.
09:22You should go home and rest.
09:24Hey, do you know what?
09:25I think she is a prop of us and I need some fresh air so...
09:28Do you want me to take her off?
09:29Please.
09:30Bye, darling.
09:31Bye.
09:32Thanks, miss.
09:34Thank you, er...
09:35Claire.
09:36Mercedes.
09:37Mercedes.
09:38Have you got a son?
09:39Yes, I do.
09:40Erm...
09:41Just have a prayer here one minute.
09:43Mercedes steps over to the cash register and looks around.
09:47Ben takes out handfuls of notes and puts them in her bag.
09:51Myra.
09:53Oh, what good news.
09:54Listen, talking about sons.
09:56Is Joel going to be involved in bringing your baby up with you?
10:02Well, he's in prison, isn't he?
10:04Yeah, but he'll want to know where he came from.
10:07I mean, John Paul, when Sally came into his life, everything changed, didn't it?
10:12Outside, Mercedes is showing Martha a photo on her phone.
10:16Look at that.
10:18There, that's Bobby.
10:20He was proper sweet as a kid.
10:21He had a bit of a temper.
10:23Oh, all kids of that age.
10:25I should have helped him keep it in check.
10:26Listen, you can't change the past, right, but you can do the right thing for your son now.
10:32I will.
10:34I am.
10:36Is that your fancy mum?
10:38Sadly fancy, is it?
10:39Well, you always like him.
10:42Listen, it can be hard going through life on your own.
10:47Go on.
10:48My home's just there.
10:49I'm fine. Go on.
10:51Mercedes strides over to Tony.
10:53Hey, I've been calling you to apologise.
10:58I know. I've been ignoring you.
11:01Look, whatever Bobby did in the past, it's totally out of order for me to come between a mother and a son, and I'm sorry.
11:07Yeah.
11:08You said that if it was up to you, he would be dead.
11:12Didn't mean that.
11:14I won't wish that on any child, let alone yours.
11:18I think I had to drop too much of that South African wine.
11:20Yeah.
11:22That Shiraz was pretty strong.
11:23Didn't even touch sides.
11:25Still got some leftover.
11:27Hmm.
11:29Leftovers are my favourite.
11:31He nods to the hutch.
11:33Martha's still holding Mercedes' phone.
11:37Mum?
11:38Sorry, I had to get myself another phone.
11:40Can you meet me at the folly now?
11:41I can't risk waiting.
11:43Please.
11:44Uh, yes. Come in, son.
11:46Hollyoaks.
11:48Hashtag Hollyoaks.
11:54Hollyoaks.
11:56Hashtag Hollyoaks.
11:58Can I play with my new toys now?
12:00Of course you can, darling.
12:02Tory heads off.
12:04She can't stop talking about the holiday.
12:06Wish I was there.
12:08Yeah, about that.
12:09I've got your voicemail.
12:13I was having a rough day.
12:15Even rougher than usual.
12:18I just missed Tory, that was all.
12:21Your dad's tea party.
12:23You should go.
12:24Oh, no.
12:25I don't want to leave Tory.
12:27Or you.
12:29So, you want to spend time with us in France, but now what?
12:31You're desperate to get rid of me.
12:33I'm not.
12:35Claire, what you up to?
12:38Yeah.
12:40Cards on the table.
12:42I met this guy.
12:44Thought we had something.
12:45And then he just upped and left the country without a warning.
12:48He sounds like an idiot.
12:51Maybe not an idiot.
12:54I just couldn't deal with her feelings.
12:56Feelings?
12:57What happened between us?
12:59I can't get it out of my head.
13:01And I've been thinking about it ever since.
13:04And you're not messing with me?
13:06No.
13:08No, I'm not messing with you.
13:11Dodger kisses her.
13:13In the hutch.
13:15Wow, that was...
13:17Not in my diary for today.
13:18It's the best we've had here.
13:19We should write more often.
13:21Oh.
13:22Hey, Jack.
13:23Hiya.
13:24Sorry, I've really got to go.
13:26Tony, can I book an early table for 6pm, please?
13:29I've promised Pearl a bite to eat, then I close your night in.
13:32So I want the dinner over and done with as soon as possible.
13:35Okay.
13:37Martha finds Bobby in the folly.
13:40You're in a lot of trouble, young man.
13:42Sorry.
13:43I'm sorry.
13:44Just...
13:45Please don't tell anyone I'm here.
13:46I know you think your emerald jumper will soften me, but no.
13:51Martha looks in her bag.
13:52Why are you calling me?
13:53I'm here.
13:54Oh, okay.
13:55Jeremy.
13:56Son.
13:57I know Basil used to scare me, and that's why...
13:59I don't want to talk about it.
14:00I know you're a good boy, really.
14:01I am.
14:02Yeah.
14:03I just need...
14:04Honey.
14:05I tell you what.
14:06Why don't we go for a walk?
14:07And we'll get our story straight, in case anybody asks about Basil.
14:08Okay?
14:09Come on.
14:10Okay.
14:11I...
14:12I...
14:13I just have some questions first.
14:14Mum.
14:15Bobby follows Martha.
14:17Hey, Aunt Liberty.
14:18Hello you two.
14:19Hey, why aren't you at Jez's tea party?
14:20Oh.
14:21The flat's got all sorts of bad energy tonight.
14:23I'm sorry.
14:24I'm sorry.
14:25I'm sorry.
14:26I'm sorry.
14:27I'm sorry.
14:28I'm sorry.
14:29I'm sorry.
14:30I'm sorry.
14:31I'm sorry.
14:32I'm sorry.
14:33I'm sorry.
14:34I'm sorry.
14:35I'm sorry.
14:36I'm sorry.
14:37I'm sorry.
14:38I'm sorry.
14:39I've lost a bad energy today.
14:40I need to sort it.
14:41Well, no offence sis, but you look like the poster girl for bad energy right now.
14:45I'm fine.
14:46You sure?
14:47The last time I saw you this way was when your slimy fiancé cheated on you.
14:50And he was the love of your life.
14:52I was 17.
14:53I didn't even know what love was.
14:56Anyway.
14:57Why aren't you at the party?
14:59He's your dad.
15:00No matter what a DNA test might say.
15:02Dirk's my dad and he always will be.
15:05Now I've got to look after Tory, get justice for Dennis.
15:08I've got enough going on with that bloody enough to Patrick's twin.
15:11Jez is a lot more than that.
15:13Is he?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Look, you have the opportunity to let this amazing man into your life.
15:19You'd be mad not to.
15:21He's caring, warm, spontaneous.
15:25Sure, he isn't always easy.
15:27Sometimes he can't accept his own feelings, follows his head, not his heart.
15:31But eventually...
15:33Eventually he always chooses the right path.
15:38Oh no.
15:41She stares at Tim.
15:43You've been seeing him.
15:45That's why you're moping around like when you were 17.
15:48Because he's led you on and he's marrying John Paul.
15:51No, I'm not.
15:52Lib, I know when you're lying.
15:54Oh, I don't believe this.
15:57You were in love with him, aren't you?
16:01Wearing a dressing gown, Liberty gets up, looking upset, and storms off into another room.
16:07Jack and Pearl are slow dancing in the Price Slice.
16:11Hey, Jack.
16:13I need to restock my vegetables.
16:16Listen, I've booked a romantic dinner, sonatas on the radio, and you're talking about tenets.
16:21Hand on heart?
16:22I don't like the man's voice.
16:24I prefer yours.
16:26Nice.
16:28Cleo comes in and wanders over to Sienna.
16:32Hey.
16:33Have the party early.
16:35Yeah, um, I promised Dad I'd make his wedding cake, so I just thought I'd get a head start getting the ingredients, you know?
16:41That's not the reason you left, though, is it?
16:44Well, no.
16:47It sounds so silly, but I was just feeling pushed out.
16:51I mean, you have so much history with Joel, and now the whole Marie thing.
16:54Don't let it get in your head.
16:56Drama and Marie go together like...
17:00Like Jack and Pearl.
17:02How cute they are.
17:04Look, if we play our cards right, that could be us one day.
17:07Jack spins Pearl.
17:09All happy and in love.
17:11You think?
17:12Yeah.
17:13I mean, we're not gonna be getting any sleep.
17:16Because there'll be a little baby around.
17:18Right.
17:19Yeah.
17:20And you're sure that you don't want Joel to be involved.
17:24He's in prison for murder.
17:26He killed somebody.
17:27The only people I want around raising this baby is...
17:30...me and you.
17:32They smile at each other.
17:35In Jez's shed, Robbie looks weary.
17:39Sorry about the mess.
17:40The rats got in.
17:41They threw off that food you left me and all.
17:44So I could do it some more.
17:46Or you could let me go.
17:48Yeah.
17:49Well, soon.
17:50Maybe.
17:51But first, I'd like a little chat.
17:55Jez, have you seen Vicky?
17:57Look, I need to know that she's okay.
17:59Yeah, no.
18:00I don't want to talk about her.
18:01No, I want to talk about an insight I've just had,
18:03which I think you're gonna really appreciate.
18:05Oh, good.
18:06Can't wait.
18:07Well, it just occurred to me that by next week,
18:11I will have everything I have ever dreamed of.
18:14I'll be married to the man I love,
18:16who will keep me on the straight and narrow,
18:19and I will have completely covered all my tracks.
18:23That's thanks to you.
18:25Well.
18:26I wonder you were generous with the crisps.
18:28No, you just seem to know how to listen.
18:31It's because of you that I've accepted Siona's relationship with Cleo.
18:35And you know the funny thing?
18:37Is that none of this would have happened.
18:39I wouldn't be in the best place I've ever been in my life
18:42if I hadn't killed Tommy and framed Joel for it.
18:46Robbie smiles tightly.
18:48Right.
18:49Let's clean up this mess, shall we?
18:52Robbie remains sitting in his chair with his arms folded,
18:56looking anxious.
18:58John Paul takes a floral order of service for his wedding
19:02out of a box and smiles at the photo of himself and Jez.
19:06Mercedes rushes into the folly.
19:09Bobby!
19:11Bobby!
19:13As Jez takes a full bin bag out of his shed,
