The episode in question will see Juliet and Peri spend a weekend away together at the seaside resort.
Juliet is currently taking centre stage in one of Hollyoaks' biggest ongoing storylines, as she was diagnosed with cancer late last year.
During Juliet's most recent appointment at the hospital, she was told that her early stages of treatment hadn't worked as planned and she'd need a more intensive option in the coming weeks.

In episodes currently on air, Juliet and Peri are no longer a couple – but their dedicated fanbase have always held out hope that they'd find their way back together again.
Discussing the future of her story, Niamh recently told Digital Spy: "It's going to be an emotional year, and I believe it will be a central story [in 2023]. It's going to be a long road and a tough journey and that's about all I can say.
"I know the fundamental journey, I just don't know how we are getting there. It is definitely something I am being told during the process, which adds to the reality in a way.

"I'm also very excited about going on location again, it's been a while."
This is the first time that Hollyoaks has filmed a major on-location shoot since heading to Mallorca for Luke Morgan's exit scenes last year.
Juliet and Peri's special episode will air in March.
Hollyoaks streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
