Not everyone is supportive.
EastEnders has confirmed a new storyline for Ryder Hawkins, which will see him opening up about his sexuality. Nicola Mitchell encourages her nephew to be true to himself – but other family members aren't quite as supportive.
Feeling supported, Ryder confides in his auntie about the man he's been seeing. He also opens up about the pressure from Ned, who has a strong influence over his life.
Meanwhile, Ned invites the whole community to a big event at Harry's Barn, as he celebrates becoming co-owner of the club. After the encouragement from Nicola, Ryder decides to have an honest conversation with his mum.
Unbeknownst to Ryder, Ned overhears him asking to speak with Gemma and muscles in before they can chat. Ned continues to pressure Ryder to conform, but will the latter back down?
"With Ned being so manipulative, will he stop Ryder from coming out?"
The celebration brings up complex emotions for the couple.
Eden Fowler and Cash Newman's wedding brings up complex emotions for the pair in upcoming Home and Away scenes. After suffering from exhaustion, dizzy spells, and fatigue, Eden was diagnosed with aplastic anemia in the Australian soap.
Doctors explained that she would need a viable stem cell donor before her condition deteriorates further.
In scenes set to air this week in Australia, Eden decides to surprise Cash with a dinner date.
Cash studies a new diet plan that he found in an online support group for those suffering from aplastic anemia, which he joined in a bid to find any way to help Eden.
With their first wedding anniversary looming, Eden is keen to push the boat out and celebrate.
However, knowing how tired she becomes from performing simple tasks due to her condition, Cash suggests they have a quiet night at home instead.
Remi ropes in Levi Fowler to tell Cash he wants to hang out as part of Eden and Remi's plan.
However, it doesn't quite work, with Cash seeing right through his ruse and demanding to know what is going on.
Levi tells Cash all about Eden's plan, and he isn't sure how to react - angry that she is pushing herself so hard, or elated that she could be so thoughtful.
Surrounded by family and friends, Eden and Cash enjoy the dinner date with views of the picturesque Summer Bay.
Cash also reveals a little surprise for Eden, a round-the-world plane ticket that he says they can use when she gets better.
Eden is grateful for the gift, but she is left worried that she may never be able to use it.
Hollyoaks star Charlotte Riley has revealed that fans will be "shocked" when they discover the truth about Imran Maalik's mystery love interest.
Charlotte's character Leah Barnes was engaged to marry Imran earlier this year, but a series of cryptic scenes indicated that he still had feelings for someone from his past.
Charlotte teased: "Leah definitely doesn't have a clue! I guess we're all waiting around for the grand reveal of who this girl is. Who is she?
I feel like it's a big wait, but it's worth it and people will be shocked. I was shocked when I realised who it was."
Asked whether Leah and Imran could ever make their romance work again, after it was destroyed by Leah cheating with Prince McQueen, Charlotte replied: "I do like them together but it depends how much you can take in a relationship. There has to be a point where enough is enough, if you can trust people or not."
Meanwhile, Leah takes centre stage in a huge cliffhanger this week as she discovers that her brother Lucas seems to be implicated in the disappearance of their dad Ste.
"Leah has not really doubted her brother – she's stood by him," continued Charlotte. "If that was to be the case, that he was behind parts of it or all of it, you just wouldn't know what to believe ever again. You wouldn't have any trust in yourself. It's really isolating anyway, not really knowing who to trust! So if it was Lucas, she'd be really heartbroken.
It also looks bad on Lucas after the fall, because he just leaves her! I feel like you either fight or flight in that situation. Some people would run and help, but he just didn't know what to do, stood still and ran away!"
"If anything, it would bring you closer together," she said. "If you've lost someone and you get them back, it makes you realise what you've got around you.
"I know Ste has put the kids through a lot but it doesn't really matter, it always brings you back a lot closer.
"I love filming family scenes because you just have such a good laugh. It's lot of fun and you get through it all together. They're definitely my favourite scenes."

But will there be room for both Levi and Amelia at the hospital?
