Hollyoaks spoilers for next week promise drama, heartache, big discoveries and startling realisations on the Channel 4 soap.
The village residents are still reeling from the recent explosion that claimed the lives of Marnie Nightingale, Sylver McQueen and Celeste Faroe.
Many residents are still dealing with the fallout of the carnage and the loss, as some struggle with their grief.
This coming week there is a double funeral, a memorial and revelations linked to the recent fire - while one character confronts a killer.
There's also concern for a number of residents, while latest soap villain Ethan could be about to strike again.
Here's everything to know about the week ahead in the village...
James spirals and causes carnage
James is struggling to cope with his mum Marnie's death during the explosion, and he continues to turn to drink amid his desire for revenge.
Wanting to know the cause and who was behind the fire, he's been targeting residents - while also targeting innocent villagers by using their addictions against them.
Next week, he almost causes Ollie to suffer a drugs relapse, while he also encourages Damon's gambling again.
At a vigil for his mum, he lashes out before stealing the fundraising money in an attempt to frame Becky for the crime.
Ste soon realises what his partner has done though, and tries to stop him gambling the money away but is it too late?
At the end of the week James is forced to face his mother's funeral alone when Ste disappears...
DeMarcus faces killer Toby
Toby was revealed to be the true killer of Lisa Loveday just weeks ago, with his plot to murder and later frame his brother Mitchell also exposed.
But the explosion left his sister Celeste dead and Toby in a coma, and he still remains unconscious next week.
In upcoming scenes, his half-brother DeMarcus is struggling with recent events - including the loss of his sister, Toby remaining in a coma and the family being torn apart by the lie about Lisa.
He can't face Toby but has so much to say to him, leading to Cleo encouraging him to say his piece.
Mercedes stunned by Bobby confession
Mercedes has yet to find out Bobby left her partner Sylver to die on purpose, after learning his original plan to leave the family.
Sylver did change his mind, but Bobby lied he did not see a trapped Sylver in the burning building, and he later died.
There is a video on Sylver's phone though that threatens to expose Bobby's secret, while next week he makes a comment that leaves Mercedes horrified.
As he acts out of character at school, he later coldly tells his mum that Sylver never loved her.
When psychologist Honour gives Mercedes her own verdict over Bobby's behaviour, she also tells her it's the ones who hide away that people need to be worried about.
She adds that Bobby might need professional health as he is clearly struggling.
Later in the week, Bobby goes missing leaving his mother in turmoil.
Ethan strikes again
Ethan gets nasty with Ste again next week, days after forcing him to bury the body of his girlfriend.
He stops him from attending Marnie's funeral, meaning James has to go alone.
Ethan also encourages Damon's gambling addiction, leading to him coming to an agreement with his girlfriend Liberty as she hopes to help him.
But knowing Ethan, are Liberty and Damon now in trouble?
John Paul in trouble?
There's hints that next week, JP could be in secret turmoil over recent events with the loss of his brother-in-law Sylver.
As his sister Mercedes is busy focusing on son Bobby, who she doesn't yet know left Sylver to die, viewers will learn something is going on with John Paul.
He confesses to Cher he can't stop thinking about his ex George, who abused him before he was murdered by Sally last year.
