Cleo & Sienna go to war!

- Sarah Ellis

Joel finds himself in the enviable position of having two women fighting over him this week – but sadly for him, one of them is bonkers Sienna, and the other is a Mcqueen!

Although Joel and Sienna have been an item for weeks, Cleo is determined to win back her ex. So will Joel reunite with her and break Sienna’s heart?

“As far as Joel is concerned, his romance with Cleo is dead,” explains Rory Douglas-speed, who plays the ex-priest. “He tried fighting for her a few times, but she kept throwing it back in his face. I think deep down he must still feel something for Cleo, because he had so much love for her. He’s with Sienna now, though, and things are pretty serious.”

Joel has been Sienna’s rock as she’s undergone her cancer treatment, and he’s also been playing daddy to her son Sebastian – who happens to be his half-brother! And to make the situation even more crazy, Sienna tries to set him up on a date with her former stepmum Maxine this week…

“It sounds insane when you say it like that,” chuckles Rory. “But Sienna’s nervous that she won’t make it through her cancer treatment, and she’s worried about what will happen to Joel and Sebastian once she’s gone. She thinks that Maxine is a great mum, so she tries to matchmake her and Joel – it’s very funny!”

Meanwhile, Joel learns from Brody that Cleo is planning to visit Pete Buchanan, the man who abused her. He’s on day release from jail – but Joel is determined to stop Cleo from going anywhere near him.

“Joel rushes off to find her,” Rory tells us. “He still cares about Cleo, even if it’s just as a friend. He can’t watch somebody he cares about make such a horrible mistake.”

Whether or not Joel can talk sense into Cleo remains to be seen. However, she takes his actions as proof he still loves her – and vows to win him back!

“Cleo calls Joel and tells him that her car has broken down,” reveals Rory. “But it turns out she’s smashed it up herself, just to get his attention! That tips Joel over the edge and they have a bust-up. He’s sick of all the mind games.”

In that case, we think Joel’s picked the wrong women! Little does he know that Cleo has told Sienna that she’s planning

to steal her man – and both women are willing to fight dirty.

Rory won’t be drawn on who wins this battle, but he does tell us that Joel’s arguments with Cleo are good for his real-life romance with co-star Nadine Mulkerrin, who plays her.

“It cracks me up if she has to be angry with me in a scene!” he grins. “We never argue – we’re always screaming at each other at work, so we’re over it when we get home!”
