Monday 8th February 2010
(Episode 2751)

Hannah wakes in the arms of Jamie – they’re both thrilled to be back together again. Impatient to leave Hollyoaks, Jamie hides his unease about Blue, but another text from him accelerates his panic. Meanwhile, Nancy and Kris’s bickering continues and jealousy sets in as they witness how happy Jamie and Hannah appear. Desperate to escape, Jamie persuades Hannah to follow their dream, suggesting they leave – tomorrow! At the Dog, Rhys tries to explain the dangers of Jamie to his parents, but they’re interrupted by Josh’s return from Glasgow.

When Hannah and Jamie arrive, Rhys becomes suspicious and rightly so, when Hannah announces her plans to start a new life with Jamie – she’s leaving tomorrow! Realising how happy Hannah is, the Ashworths decide to throw an impromptu leaving party and the Dog is soon awash with well wishers. Nancy congratulates them on their adventure; however, Hannah’s leaving only highlights her loneliness as another friend is leaving her behind. Hannah’s overwhelmed by her family and friends’ well wishes, and remains unaware of Rhys sneaking from the party. Receiving another call from Blue, a panicked Jamie heads off to start some packing. Checking his bag for the money, Jamie’s devastated to discover it missing… and we find ourselves with Rhys - his hands firmly on Jamie’s money.

Mercedes endeavours to hide her feelings about Carmel and Calvin as she listens to him tell Malachy how good life is. With her jealousy building, she warns Calvin not to wreck her sister’s life again and makes attempts to show him that her and Malachy are very much united. Having lunch, Calvin tentatively asks Carmel to move back into the Valentines. Unprepared for the swiftness their relationship is moving, she confesses that it’s too soon and she needs more time. At the Loft, Calvin asks Mercedes for help in convincing Carmel to move back in with him. Aware he wants to cement his relationship with Carmel to finally put an end to their affair is apparent to Mercedes, and she refuses to get involved.

Carmel opens up about Calvin to Mercedes and when Malachy becomes involved, she’s given food for thought after he insists she should consider it some more. At the Valentines, Carmel waits for Calvin and feeling slightly threatened by Cheryl, she announces her plans to move back in. Resorting to desperate measures to protect her position in the house, Cheryl lets slip about her kiss with Calvin and a traumatised Carmel flees the house…

Theresa’s unhappy that the Valentine’s Ball is a 70s themed event and wonders how they can look hot wearing such ancient clothes. Lauren and Gaz overhear her conversation with Anita and agree to attend the ball themselves. With dreams of winning the best dressed prize, Anita’s hopes are soon dashed when Lauren and Gaz make fun of her dress and music taste. Stepping in to defend her friend, Theresa brings Calvin into the conversation and Lauren panics thinking her relationship with Gaz is about to be discovered. Thankfully for her, Calvin is none the wiser, but Lauren vows to take revenge on the girls at the Valentine’s Ball…

(Episode 2752)

Hannah is feeling a mixture of excitement and sadness as she prepares to leave Hollyoaks. Although happy she'll be finally living her dream with Jamie, she doesn't want to leave on bad terms with Rhys. Distracted with all the preparations, Hannah is oblivious to Jamie's growing panic. With Blue continuing to call and the money missing, Jamie sends Hannah out so he can tear the place apart. Whilst out, Hannah runs into Darren but still hurt and angry with him, the pair ignore each other. It's only when Darren hears from Myra about Hannah leaving that he realises what he's about to lose. Meanwhile, Jamie discovers that Rhys has his money and is given an ultimatum. Leave with Hannah and no money or take the money and run, alone.

Desperate for Hannah to stay, Darren asks her to make a real go of their marriage but Hannah refuses to give up what she's got and gently lets him down, Jamie's the man for her. Back at the flat, Hannah's family arrive to say goodbye but as the taxi arrives, there's still no sign of Jamie. It looks certain that he's taken the money and left, but at the last minute he turns up - he's chosen Hannah. Back at The Dog, a gutted Rhys is freaked out when he gets a call from Blue. He kills the call, explaining to Josh he's a nutter! Darren is eavesdropping and knowing Hannah and Jamie are stuck in a hotel after a delayed flight, he calls Blue back and gives him the info he needs. Darren's unaware just how crazy Blue is so by sending him to Jamie, has he put Hannah at risk too?

Carmel is ignoring Calvin's calls after finding out that he kissed Cheryl. Myra tries to reassure her that it's no big deal, they were separated after all. Mercedes, pleased that there's trouble, tells Carmel that she's best rid and plants more doubt in her mind. Myra encourages Carmel to call Calvin back, it's the only way she'll know what she wants. Calvin is pleased when Carmel agrees to meet up and he desperately tries to convince her that what happened with Cheryl meant nothing and went no further. Carmel is torn between her head and heart but eventually starts to come round. However, there's one condition, if they're to make things work then they can have no secrets - has he been with anyone else? We think that Calvin might confess but knowing there would be no chance for him and Carmel, he promises her that there's been no one else. Finally believing him, Carmel agrees to make a fresh start together but seeing the loved up pair together only riles a jealous Mercedes further.

With Cindy paying her no attention, Holly is fed up practicing her talent show routine. She's only cheered up when Loretta arrives after Cindy agreed to let her help. Cindy turns up at the Council Hall to watch their rehearsal but is furious that Loretta has changed her choreography. She tells Loretta she's not needed anymore but upsets Holly in doing so and she runs off. Cindy is soon forced to apologise to Loretta, realising she needs her help after all but Loretta only finally agrees to come back for Holly, not her. After reading a school report of Holly's, Tony and Cindy are at a loss over what more they can do for her. As Holly returns home, she overhears her parents talking and is left reeling as they discuss the advantages of sending her to boarding school.


Wednesday 10th February 2010
(Episode 2753)

Hannah and Jamie wake up in their hotel room oblivious to Darren’s misguided interference. Back at The Dog, Darren starts to panic when Rhys tells him just how mental Blue is. Hannah returns to the hotel alone but walking into their room, she is horrified to find it's been turned over. At first she fears they've been robbed but when Blue appears, she realises it's far worse. Blue tells Hannah what he's come for but she refuses to believe that Jamie has any of his money. She insists he's done with that lifestyle but once Jamie returns and sees the danger Hannah's in, he's forced to admit the truth. He tries to explain that he no longer has any of the money. Hannah is still disgusted he had it in the first place and lays into a pleading Jamie, realising she should have listened to Rhys and Darren.

Jamie calls Rhys to prove he's not lying but Rhys denies any involvement, leaving Jamie to face the consequences. A fight ensues and a helpless Hannah can only look on, unable to stop them. Back in the village, a now frantic Darren is desperately trying to get to Hannah's hotel, fearing the trouble he may have caused. As the chaos continues in the hotel room, Jamie is struggling to defend himself and as he reaches for a letter opener, Hannah can only scream in terror as Jamie lunges at Blue. As Blue collapses, Hannah and Jamie look on in horror - is he dead?

As the Valentine's Ball looms, Theresa tells Anita that she's got her eye on Ste as her date. The girls arrive at Relish with a glam Theresa, armed with a 'how to get your man' self help book, hoping to seal the deal with Ste. Meanwhile, Newt is pleased that he and Rae are really getting on and as she tries to convince him to go the ball, he's certain that she's flirting. As they arrive in Relish, Newt is amused by Theresa's efforts to get in with Ste but the pair soon become green with jealousy when, according to Theresa's book, Ste and Rae are flirting with each other. When Theresa accidentally on purpose spills a milkshake down Rae, the girls come to blows. Rae expects Newt to take her side but he's still miffed about her and Ste and makes a sarky comment instead. Furious with Newt’s betrayal, Rae tells Ste that she'll work in Relish instead of going to the ball, leaving Newt in a bigger sulk than before. As a favour to Theresa, Anita asks Ravi to put in a good word for her mate but it's not good feedback. Feeling bad for her friend, Anita lies and tells Theresa it's good news - Ste wants her to save him a dance at the ball.

It's the day of the talent show and competition is still rife between Steph and Cindy as they prepare Holly and Tom. Cindy insists Tony gives Holly a pep talk, but although he tries his best, it all comes out wrong and Holly is left more nervous than before. At the show, Tom's comedy act goes down a treat with the audience, especially Tony, much to the annoyance of Cindy. Holly's due on stage but sensing her nerves, Loretta assures her it's not too late to back out. As an oblivious Cindy brandishes a sash advertising Cincerity for Holly, it's finally too much and Holly flees from the hall. Cindy eventually finds her and realising she may have pushed too far, apologises to her daughter. They almost make up until Holly lets slip Loretta told her she could back out. A furious Cindy is outraged with Loretta's interference spoiling any reconciliation with Holly.
