Meanwhile, Maddox’s true maternal parentage is rumbled, Abigail’s influence on Dee Dee becomes increasingly disturbing and there’s news about who’s behind Ste’s disappearance.

Here are all your Hollyoaks spoilers for next week, alongside our fresh picture gallery revealing all the latest drama.

Monday 14 September

At the hospital, Misbah informs Caleb that according to his test results, he’s in perfect health, and Dad Jonah feigns concern.

When Warren tells him about his young son Sebastian being released from hospital and how they must be especially careful due to his weakened immune system, this gives Jonah an idea.

He enforces a lockdown at the Keane household to ‘protect’ Caleb from infections.

 Maddox takes matters into his own hands

Maddox thinks Jonah is being over-protective, so he sneaks Caleb out of the house and they head to the park kiosk.

Maddox shares that he has applied for a live music permit, and declares that Kathleen-Angel can be their first act.

They have a drink to celebrate, but the day takes a sudden turn and Maddox ends up seeking solace with Cindy. But little does he realise that his ‘great-aunt’ is actually his birth mother.

 Dodger gets a lead on Ste's captors

James and Sienna storm into the police station with the video of Ste they found. Later, Dodger identifies the people Ste spoke with at the shopping centre via CCTV, making them all possible suspects.

We then see one of them hanging around the village with photos of Ste on his phone. It’s not long before Dodger confirms the video of Ste is fake, but who is the mysterious person lingering in the area?

 Abigail gives Dee Dee an inappropriate task

At the school, Abigail tells Dee Dee she’s extraordinary, before telling her to read an inappropriate book passage aloud while they’re alone.

As Abigail abuses her position to manipulate Dee Dee, just how far will her despicable behaviour go?

Tuesday 15 September

As Mercedes puts up missing posters of Ste in the village, Sienna approaches and asks if she can see Sebastian.

With Mercy having set up home with Warren, will she maintain her loyalty to him, or might she feel an ounce of sympathy for Sienna?

 Cindy slips up over Maddox

Having crashed on Cindy’s sofa, Maddox heads off to school. Cindy has a heart-to-heart with Mercedes over the children they’ve lost, and at The Dog, a drunken Cindy gushes to Dee Dee about Maddox.

A slip of the tongue leaves Dee Dee suspicious, and the teen speaks to Frankie about her conversation with Cindy.

As they start putting the pieces together, Dee Dee shares her theory with Maddox that Cindy could be his biological mother. How will Maddox react?

 Jonah continues to trick Caleb over his health

Jonah is taking precautions by spraying disinfectant around the house. He tells Beth that Caleb has been having night terrors and, oblivious to Jonah’s lies, she comforts her husband.

Jonah is intent on convincing Caleb that he’s unwell, but what’s his next move?

Wednesday 16 September

 Jonah's secret is at risk

During a scuffle, the pills Jonah has been hiding end up in plain sight.

Will anyone spot them, and if they do, will they realise the connection with Caleb’s mysterious ‘illness’?

 Cindy confides in Darren

At The Dog, Cindy opens up to Darren. Can Darren help his friend find a way forward?

It’s clear how attached Cindy is to Maddox, but has Dee Dee’s theory been confirmed and if so, how will he react?

Kathleen-Angel's singing impresses her loved ones

Ant is thrown to hear that Maddox has asked Kathleen-Angel to perform at the park kiosk, seemingly appearing jealous.

Later, Ant, Theresa and Dodger encourage Kathleen-Angel to sing for them.

As her daughter’s talent shines through, Theresa is blown away. Is the sky the limit for gifted Kathleen-Angel?

Baby Branning is here at last!" says our EastEnders insider. "But while the Panesars welcome the tot into their family, little do they know he could be half-Mitchell!

Here's a full collection of 11 big moments coming up.

 Alf issues Zane a stern warning

Alf is still refusing to travel to Merimbula for Martha's birthday because he doesn't trust Zane to be left alone with Marilyn.

Justin understands where Alf is coming from but Leah is adamant they can't allow this to happen.

After talking it through, Justin promises to keep an eye on things and Alf agrees to go, but warns Zane that he'll be straight back if there's any sign of trouble.

Dana and Harper leave Summer Bay

It's the end of the road for Dana and Sonny when she calls time on their relationship and moves out.

Dana calls Harper to let her know what's going on but is shocked to learn that her sister is planning on leaving the Bay with Archie.

Reaching the decision to join Harper, Dana breaks the news to Sonny and John. They share a bittersweet goodbye before Dana departs with Harper and Archie for their new life.

Sonny fears he'll never be able to show his face in the community again, but is buoyed when David reveals that the charges against him have been dropped.

Tane still refuses to accept Sonny's apologies but this makes him even more committed to turning his life around.

Eden needs a stem cell transplant

Eden is told her best chance of recovery will be undergoing a stem cell transplant.

The best chance of finding a suitable match is via siblings, so Cash summons Abigail and Eden. But there's bad news.

Abigail is told she can't donate because she was an IV drug user within the last five years and Eden realises Levi won't be eligible either as he'll be recovering from major surgery.

 David and Amelia share a kiss

Lacey is having a tough time watching Amelia and David getting closer and is concerned her dad isn't being himself.

She talks things through with Mali, who helps Lacey realise that David deserves some happiness.

Meanwhile, Amelia and David share their first kiss but she's left confused when he pulls away and walks off.

 Levi wants to be Eden's donor

Levi is desperate to be a donor for Eden, but she refuses to allow him to jeopardise his own health.

But after some serious reflection, Eden realises she can't stop her brother from trying to save her life.

As Levi undergoes a blood test to see if he's a match, Mali supports Abigail, who's heartbroken over not being able to help Eden.

 David wrestles with his guilt

Jo is keen to get the gossip on David's first date with Amelia, but he's cagey in his response.

Wracked with guilt over fleeing after their kiss, David seeks out Amelia and explains he still has feelings for his late wife. Amelia is reassuring in her response and tells David there's no pressure.

Justin is also supportive when David admits he feels as if he's been unfaithful. Can he help David find the courage to move on?

 Zane writes to his victim

After asking Mali to keep an eye on Marilyn in his absence, Alf makes Zane swear that he'll stay on the straight and narrow.

Zane is left fearing he doesn't deserve the kindness that's been shown to him so Marilyn suggests writing an apology to Heidi, the girl he attacked in the robbery.

Grateful for her support, Zane finally puts pen to paper as he expresses the deep regret he feels.

 David removes his wedding ring

Lacey remains convinced that something's upsetting David and confronts Amelia, demanding to know what happened on their date.

Amelia snaps back, telling Lacey to mind her own business and not overcomplicate an already tricky situation.

Later in private, David removes his wedding ring for the first time since his wife's passing.

 Leah voices her opinion

Zane posts his letter to Heidi but it leaves Leah feeling uneasy as she questions how she'd feel if Theo's murderer was to reach out.

The next morning, as Zane prepares to undergo his L-plate test to get his driving licence, Marilyn can sense that something is amiss.

She confronts Leah, who's honest and says Zane did the wrong thing by writing to his victim.

David chooses Amelia over Lacey

Lacey is horrified when she sees David has removed his wedding ring and takes her hurt out on Amelia.

Mali witnesses the outburst and lets David know that Lacey warned Amelia to stay away. But this time David refuses to put others first as he insists he wants a future with Amelia.

But will Lacey ever come round to accepting her father with another woman?

Home and Away in Australia Zane’s guilt over his past sees him make a decision which divides opinion,

This week on Home and Away in Australia, Zane’s guilt over his past sees him make a decision which divides opinion, while Eden struggles to accept Levi’s decision to prioritise her life over his career.

Zane (Angus McColl) finally seems to be settling into life in Summer Bay with Marilyn’s (Emily Symons) support, but this week he finds himself struggling to reconcile his fresh start with the suffering of the woman he attacked.

Zane served ten years behind bars after a burglary ended with him almost killing the homeowner’s young daughter, Heidi.

Unaware the family was home after breaking in, he panicked when her father confronted him.

Catching movement out of the corner of his eye, Zane swung the baseball bat he’d brought with him, leaving Heidi with serious injuries that still affect her today.

Having helped her former pen pal find work at the diner and a place at Summer Bay House, Marilyn has been determined to show him that he deserves another chance. Convincing Alf (Ray Meagher) has proved more difficult, even after he agreed to let Zane move in.

Last week, Alf admitted that he intended to miss wife Martha’s (Belinda Giblin) birthday in Merimbula rather than leave Maz alone in the house with Zane.

It took an intervention from Marilyn, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin (James Stewart) to persuade him to reconsider, though Alf told them he’d be heading straight back at the first sign of trouble.

This week, Marilyn gives Alf a birthday gift to take with him for Martha, stating it’s from herself and Zane.

However, Zane is uneasy about having his name attached to a present he hasn’t paid for, and insists on giving Marilyn the money.

Alf makes one last effort to put his mind at rest by asking caravan park resident Mali (Kyle Shilling) to watch out for Marilyn whilst he’s away.

Before leaving the house, he also asks Zane to promise that he’ll keep doing the right thing.

Zane gives him his word, but after Alf heads off to Merimbula, Marilyn notices that something is troubling Zane. When she encourages him to talk, he admits that he isn’t sure he deserves the faith they’re placing in him.

He may be free to rebuild his life, but Heidi is still living with the consequences of his actions.

Having seen how well Zane can express himself in his letters, Marilyn suggests that he write to Heidi and apologise. Yet when he tries to put his feelings on paper, he struggles to find anything that seems enough.

Marilyn stays with him as he wrestles with the task, and Zane eventually admits that no apology could convey how guilty he feels. Rather than seeing that as a reason to give up, Maz encourages him to make it his opening.

With her support, Zane finally writes the letter, but still needs reassurance that he should actually post it.

Once he’s done so, Marilyn, Leah and Justin all offer their support, though Leah privately wonders whether it was wise to contact Heidi.

Zane remains anxious too, prompting Marilyn to find ways to lift his spirits. At the diner, she quietly tops up the tip jar, leaving him pleased with the takings, before suggesting they concentrate on preparing for his Driver Knowledge Test.

Whilst the pair spend the evening studying, Leah shares her misgivings with Justin. Thinking about how she would feel if Theo’s murderer wrote to her, she questions whether an apology is something Heidi would actually want to receive.

The next morning, Zane heads off to take his test, but Marilyn has picked up on Leah and Justin’s unease. When she asks what’s wrong, Leah admits that she isn’t convinced sending the letter was the right thing to do.

Whilst Marilyn wanted to help Zane make amends, could her encouragement cause both Zane and Heidi more pain?

Also this week, Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) struggles to accept Levi’s (Tristan Gorey) offer of help as his determination to save her threatens his own future.

Eden has had her family by her side since her potentially fatal aplastic anaemia diagnosis, with everyone eager to do whatever they can to help.

But whilst the prospect of a stem cell transplant has offered fresh hope, Eden’s concerned that brother Levi could jeopardise his own recovery by becoming her donor.

Last week, with blood transfusions providing only temporary relief, Amelia (Nicole da Silva) explained that a stem cell transplant could potentially cure Eden’s condition. First, however, they would need to find a suitable donor.

With siblings offering the best chance of a match, Levi and Abigail (Hailey Pinto) were eager to be tested, only for Abby to learn that her history of intravenous drug use ruled her out.

Eden reassured her younger sister that they still had Levi, but a closer look at the information leaflet revealed another problem, and she asked to see Levi urgently.

This week, when Levi returns to the hospital, Eden explains that his upcoming hand surgery means he won’t be able to donate whilst recovering, even if he turns out to be a match.

With the operation offering him a chance to repair the damage from his accident, she’s determined that her own treatment shouldn’t come at the expense of his recovery.

Levi is willing to postpone it, but Eden knows that delaying the procedure could jeopardise his chances of regaining the use of his hand and continuing his career.

Levi points out that he remains her best chance at finding a full match, but Eden responds it’s still only a 25% probability. 

With only a limited window for his surgery, she refuses to let him make that sacrifice, as Cash watches on in disbelief.

Their disagreement ends with Levi storming out, leaving Eden hoping that Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) can talk some sense into him.

Yet Cash can’t bring himself to oppose something that could save his wife’s life, and pointedly tells her that he will not stop fighting.

When he and Levi speak privately, they agree that they still want to pursue the possibility of a donation. However, Levi points out that even if he is compatible, Eden still has the legal right to refuse his stem cells, so they’ll need to change her mind before they can go ahead.

Meanwhile, Abby’s own inability to help weighs heavily on her. Breaking down to Mali on the beach, she feels that her sister is suffering because of mistakes she made in the past.

Mali reassures Abby that she couldn’t have known this would happen, before reminding her how much she can still do.

Bringing food and clean clothes, helping with everyday arrangements and offering emotional support would all ease the strain on Eden and Cash.

When Levi’s called back to the hospital, Eden tells him that she’s changed her mind and agrees to let him be tested. Whilst she’s still concerned about his recovery, she accepts that she can’t keep standing in the way of her family’s efforts to save her life.

Eden admits that she finds it difficult having everyone rearrange their lives around her illness. But Cash and Abby reassure her that they want to be there for her, reminding her that supporting one another through something like this is what family is for.

With Eden’s blessing, Levi has the blood test to establish whether he’s a suitable donor.

After everything the siblings have been through, will he be the match she needs?
