Hollyoaks’ McQueen clan decamp to Magaluf next week to celebrate Mercedes’s upcoming nuptials to old flame Russ Owen, and viewers can expect sun, sea, sex and secrets galore.
The soap went on location in Majorca back in May to film the special episodes which mark Jennifer Metcalfe’s full-time return to the cast after 12 months of maternity leave, and a brief cameo a few weeks back, following the birth of her son Daye with her partner, Geordie Shore star Greg Lake.
Mercy reveals to her shocked relatives she has reconnected with first husband Russ, with Stuart Manning reprising his role after almost a decade away, and the pair are giving it another go. Elsewhere, Nana has a hot holiday romance, Courtney Campbell is reunited with baby daddy Liam Donovan, and Good Morning Britain’s Richard Arnold cameos as himself – something for everyone…
Here’s a look at the McQueens behind the scenes in Magaluf.

Diane Langton (Nana), Chelsee Healey (Goldie), Amy Conachan (Courtney), Annie Wallace (Sally), Nadine Mulkerrin (Cleo) and Nicole Barber-Lane (Myra) get ready for fun in the sun.
