Mercedes looks set to remarry Russ in a Hollyoaks summer special…
As temperatures soar in the UK, Hollyoaks is preparing to turn up the heat with a week of episodes set in sunny Spain!
After the fun and frolics of the soap’s summer jaunt to Ibiza last year, it’s the Mcqueens’ turn to head abroad and hit the party town of Magaluf in Majorca, where Mercedes will reunite with her old flame, Russ Owen…
“I couldn’t have asked for a better return,” says actress
Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes. “I feel so fortunate that the bosses have invested so much in Mercy’s comeback with the #Magalufoaks special, which is ram-packed with lots of shenanigans. It’s a must-watch!”
Long time Hollyoaks fans will remember Russ – played by returning star Stuart Manning – as Mercedes’ first husband, who had a baby with her sister Tina after Mercy cheated on him with Warren Fox.
Russ later fled with his son Max, so how do the pair reunite? Well, we can reveal that the Mcqueens are bound for Magaluf for Mercy’s hen do – with the identity of the groom unknown. So, do these snaps of her cosying up to Russ on the beach indicate that they’ll wed a second time?
The Mcqueens never need an excuse for a party – but Mercy’s impending nuptials have given them an even bigger reason to celebrate, judging by these fun pics of the women glugging down cocktails and keeling over with laughter! The actors were also in high spirits, with Chelsee Healey (Goldie) doing some
salsa moves in the sand. What a time to be a Mcqueen!
