Radio Times has broken down everything we've learnt in the spicy new promo...
1. Cindy Cunningham returns after two years
We last saw her leaving for pastures new in September 2024, but Cindy is back this summer – and with a bang!
What exactly draws her back to the quaint Chester village remains to be seen, though Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) has her suspicions.
There's an awkward family reunion as she comes face-to-face with niece Beth Keane (Rebecca Ryan), and before long, difficult matters from the past resurface.
She also has a new flatmate, and it's someone we've already met...
2. A new mystery surrounds Abigail Matthews
Dee Dee gets a surprise when her drugs counsellor Abigail arrives at Hollyoaks High.
It transpires that she's landed herself a teaching job, and wants to build on their bond over the summer holidays. Dee Dee is thrilled, seeing her as a maternal figure following mum Diane's (Alex Fletcher) death.
Abigail strikes up a friendship with Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin), and instantly becomes a popular figure within the village. We also see them flirting!
However, as the trailer shows, something sends her spiralling – and she smashes up the bathroom on the flat she shares with Cindy in a violent rage.
3. Tony Hutchinson's children intensify his grief
Dee Dee, Maddox Keane (Sam Meyer), Ant Hutchinson (Brook Debio) and Kathleen-Angel McQueen (Naledi Rapotu) are on cloud nine after finishing their exams, and both couples are looking to want to take the next step in their relationship.
However, as Tony silently battles his grief for Diane, the teens' unruly behaviour seems to be slipping under the net.
4. Leah Barnes and Imran Maalik's wedding takes a sour turn
Leah and Imran are busy preparing for their wedding, but her head is being turned by Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer).
Imran's mum Misbah (Harvey Virdi) questions her motives, and it doesn't take long for Prince's girlfriend Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) to discover the affair.
Friendships unravel, accusations fly, and the wedding is put on the line.
Will they say their their vows, or is the floor about to fall from beneath Imran's feet?
5. Jenson Cole is held at gunpoint as Prince McQueen plots against Warren Fox
Jenson Cole (Ryan Clayton) wrestles over being a donor for his nephew Sebastian Blake (Teddie Williamson), though Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) is adamant that he'll go through with the procedure.
Ultimately, Jenson is held at gunpoint by Gemma Johnson's (Tisha Merry) cronies. Will he get to the hospital in time?
Meanwhile, after confessing that he wants to kill Warren, Prince plays a dangerous game by being by his side.
