Next week in Hollyoaks, Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane) makes a dramatic return to the village with one goal in mind—getting her daughter,
Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), out of jail. With Mercedes shockingly confessing to the murder of her abusive ex, Abe, Myra is convinced that something doesn’t add up.
Why would her daughter admit to a crime she didn’t commit, especially while undergoing chemotherapy for cancer?
Myra Smells a Rat
The moment Myra hears about Mercedes’ confession, she knows something is off. She simply doesn’t believe that her daughter is responsible for Abe’s death.
For one thing, Mercedes is too unwell to have carried out such an act, and for another,
Myra knows her daughter better than anyone—this isn’t her usual behavior. She strongly suspects that Mercedes is covering for someone else, but the question remains: who?
Determined to uncover the truth, Myra decides to take matters into her own hands. She refuses to let Mercedes rot in prison, especially when her health is deteriorating. Having already lost loved ones—including Tina, Carmel, and Niall—Myra is adamant that she won’t stand by and watch another one of her children suffer.
Myra’s Plan to Get to the Truth
Knowing that Mercedes will be taken to the hospital for her chemotherapy treatment, Myra devises a plan. With the help of Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), who works as a paralegal, Myra intends to confront Mercedes and make her admit the truth. She hopes that Maxine’s presence as a legal witness will pressure her daughter into revealing what’s really going on.
With this plan in mind, Myra ambushes Mercedes as she is wheeled into the hospital, demanding to know why she has confessed. She is desperate to get to the bottom of the mystery and won’t take no for an answer.
Who is Mercedes Protecting?
While Myra doesn’t have a specific theory about who actually killed Abe, one name does cross her mind—Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin).
Cleo has been acting strangely, appearing distant and disconnected from reality. Myra wonders if Mercedes is taking the blame to protect her cousin. However, as much as Cleo may seem out of sorts, Myra struggles to believe that she would be capable of murder. Still, with Mercedes refusing to reveal the truth, Myra can’t shake the feeling that something bigger is at play.
What’s Next for Mercedes?
With Myra now on a mission, it’s only a matter of time before she uncovers the real reason behind Mercedes’ confession. Will she be able to convince her daughter to tell the truth before it’s too late? And if Mercedes is protecting someone, will Myra be able to prove it and get her released from prison?
One thing is certain—Myra McQueen is back, and she won’t stop until she gets justice for her daughter. Fans can expect high-stakes drama as she fights to bring the truth to light.
