Yahoo News Hollyoaks' Mercedes McQueen marriage in crisis over Sylver's secret kiss
Mercedes and Sylver McQueen's marriage is crumbling before their very eyes in Hollyoaks.
The couple have been having trouble for weeks, without Sylver (David Tag) even knowing that his wife Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) has been having a fling with Liam (Jude Monk McGowan) behind his back.
Her young son Bobby (Jayden Fox) recently caught his mum and Liam kissing and has been struggling with how to handle the secret ever since.
In Friday's (August 23) first-look episode, Bobby's temper finally exploded when he told Mercedes that he didn't "like" her — even going as far as to call his mum "a traitor"!
"I know what you've done," he warned.
A heartbroken Mercedes was at a loss over what to do with her son. After Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) urged her to do what's right for her son rather herself, Mercedes decided it would be best for her just to get out Bobby and Sylver's lives for good.
In upcoming scenes, Mercedes is set to make a drastic decision to leave the village with Liam. But will she actually go through with it?
Her husband Sylver got into a tricky situation of his own in the first-look episode while helping Grace Black (Tamara Wall) rehab from her recent hit-and-run car accident.
Sylver was incredibly encouraging to Grace, and with his support, she was actually able to take a few steps for the first time since the crash.
While the two were celebrating, Grace took advantage of the moment by kissing Sylver! He then tried to let her down gently by telling Grace that he "loves" Mercedes and "would never do anything to betray her".
This sets the stage for huge scenes next week when Sylver drops a bombshell on Mercedes just before she flees.
Hollyoaks airs Mondays through Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look episodes airing on E4 at 7pm.
