The wedding to end all weddings is almost upon us in Hollyoaks as Leah Barnes (Charlotte Alex Riley) and Imran Maalik (Ijaz Rana) prepare to walk down the aisle and exchange their vows next week. But with secrets and lies bubbling under the surface, don't expect proceedings to go quite as planned for the couple, who returned to screens earlier this year.
Leah's affair with Prince McQueen
Leah, as viewers are fully aware, has been carrying on with Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) behind groom-to-be Imran's back – and they're caught together in upcoming scenes. The pair presumably manage to cover their tracks as the wedding is still set to go ahead the following week.
On the night before the ceremony, Donny Clark (Louis Emerick) surprises Imran with a fun-filled coasteering adventure for his stag do, capturing the events on film. Leah, meanwhile, is put out when she learns that Prince has opted to go to the stag do instead of spending time with her.
Vicky's bridesmaid crisis
Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence), who is unaware of boyfriend Prince and friend Leah's betrayal, is at the salon doing the bride-to-be's nails – but her mood shifts somewhat when her bridesmaid dress arrives. In fact, Vicky freaks out altogether about being a bridesmaid.
Worried by Vicky's reaction, Leah tracks down Prince and asks him to look after Vicky. Later, Leah makes a big discovery as she realises that Imran has already deleted his confession, which leaves her wondering what exactly it is that he confessed to – and what he's hiding.
Imran's hidden confession
Determined to get answers, she confronts Imran, who reveals that there was another woman he wanted to marry before they got together. Just how will Leah take the news? That remains to be seen but as the ceremony gets underway, panic strikes as Imran proves to be a no show!
It turns out that he is with a shaken Vicky, who confides she cannot go to the wedding. Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson), meanwhile, is quick to comfort his daughter, who fears that her big day isn't going to go ahead.
Will Imran turn up?
Will Imran turn up? You'll just have to tune in to find out but, in the last episode of the week, confrontations take place as secrets lie out in the open. Just what has transpired?
