Hollyoaks is lining up a shock arrest as death story is revisited

Hollyoaks is set to air a big arrest as Maya Harkwell's death storyline is revisited on the soap.

Fans will know that Ethan Williams – who had been secretly helping the Osbournes escape her wrath – fatally shot Maya earlier this year after a struggle with her gun.

Of course, Ethan has been struggling with guilt ever since while trying to cover up the death alongside Sienna Blake and Ste Hay, and in scenes set to air next week, a big twist will play out.

Sienna is out of town, and Ste is forced to oversee the salon – though a romantic rendezvous causes a slip-up, meaning he has to turn to Ethan for help. As such they take on a risky plan, unaware that someone is watching.

Meanwhile, Sam and Zoe enjoy sneaking around, though when he suggests they move things further in their relationship and meet each other's families, Zoe puts a pause on things.

Ste later bargains with Leela as she makes a shocking discovery, which leaves her worrying about her brother's safety – though when things seem to be back to normal, Maya's body is discovered.

Sam invites Ethan to dinner with Zoe, though she arrives and reveals the news about Maya's body, with the pressure now on Ethan. Ste later makes a big confession to Leela, and Zoe's life is left in danger as Sienna goes rogue.

Zoe is forced to make a decision as Saul learns about her romance with Sam, and warns her that she could be making a big mistake in her career given Ethan is a suspect in a murder investigation.

Leela is later brought in for questioning over Maya – will she reveal what she knows?
