Hollyoaks airs two shock Sienna twists in Clare aftermath in latest episode

 She resorts to desperate tactics...

Hollyoaks has aired two shocking twists involving Sienna Blake, in the aftermath of Clare Devine’s deadly escape plan. This week, on-the-run Clare drove off with Tori and Joseph and headed to the ferry port, but she was caught by Sienna, who had chased after them with Warren Fox.

As Warren took the kids to safety, Clare taunted Sienna at the edge of a cliff, and as Cleo and Sophie arrived on the scene, Sienna reached breaking point and pushed Clare into the water.

In the aftermath of Clare’s disappearance, in today’s episode Sienna, Warren and Cleo were all questioned in the police station all night about the devastating chain of events.

Things were tense between Cleo and Sienna as they returned to the village, as Cleo wanted space from her partner – and she then confided in Donny that she suspects Sienna pushed Clare off the cliff.

Donny badgered Cleo for answers, but she concluded that she shouldn’t have accused Sienna, and Misbah urged Donny not to investigate this incident.

Meanwhile, Warren confronted Sienna about what happened to Clare, convinced that she killed her in front of their daughter. To cover her tracks, Sienna panicked and told Warren that it was Sophie who pushed Clare.

Warren was shocked by Sienna’s lie, fearing that they had created a monster and Sophie had inherited their criminal nature. But Sienna urged him to stay quiet and protect their family, seeing as Clare’s body is unlikely to ever be found.

While Donny couldn’t get any more answers from Cleo, he couldn’t help telling Dodger about her accusation against Sienna. But Dodger rejected this claim – and went straight to Sienna with what Cleo said.

Sienna went round to see Cleo with her anti-anxiety medication and suggested to her partner that this was why she thought that she pushed Clare – before using Cleo's illness to gaslight her into believing a very different chains of events.

"I lied to the police," Sienna said to Cleo. "I told them it was a mishap, a tragedy. But the truth is, Clare was pushed. You really don’t remember, do you? The reason I lied was to protect someone. That someone is you, Cleo. You killed Clare."

Hollyoaks lines up tragic aftermath for Rex after Froggy death

 Jonny Labey chats to us about what's in store.

Hollyoaks' Rex Gallagher was left grief-stricken this week as he discovered the tragic death of his grandfather Froggy. It's another devastating blow for the struggling mechanic, so where does he go from here?

Froggy lost his life in a dramatic showdown with Clare Devine-Banks, who'd just escaped from prison and rushed back to the village to settle some old scores.

Rex was distraught to lose his beloved grandad, especially after Froggy had lovingly supported him while he explored his identity in recent weeks.

In real life, former Emmerdale actor John Middleton has bowed out from the role of Froggy and is now moving on to star in comedy play Allegra alongside Coronation Street's Dame Maureen Lipman.

Jonny Labey, who plays Rex, recently caught up with us for an exclusive chat about Froggy's exit and what happens next…

We really were! We established a real force of nature with the family dynamic when the Blacks banded together last year. It was turbulent, but there were so many interesting scenes!

"I remember one scene last year where Froggy got everyone together and forced them to talk things over. Seeing all of those dynamite personalities around one table was very exciting – and John was very much the head of that.

"I know John's doing a play now with Maureen Lipman. It was sad to see him go after his wonderful time on the show, but it's great that he's landed on his feet with his next project straight away."

How will Rex deal with the loss of his grandfather?

"In Froggy, Rex found a really unexpected champion for his identity. That was explored beautifully. Froggy has probably seen a lot in his time! Even though people may have assumed he'd be the person who was less approving of Rex exploring his identity, he was someone who'd been in prison for 20 years and lived a varied life.

"It was a really interesting take on the situation where we showed that Ste had a bit of a resistance to Rex experimenting with his clothes and Froggy was the one who encouraged it. Froggy became really proud of what Rex was doing.

"Rex feels like that journey is incomplete. It tears Rex apart to lose Froggy and he is inconsolable."

It was wonderful. The scene that really stands out to me is the one where Froggy told Rex that he was going to have his love and support whether he wanted it or not!

"Froggy really had to fight for that. He wanted Rex to realise that he was being genuine. Froggy didn't like the fact that Rex seemed to be discarding him as a granddad and just seeing him as a criminal. It was his priority to be there for Rex.

"Froggy has died, but there's still so much that was left to say, explore and encourage. Now Rex's support network has very much been taken away from him."

This week, we saw Ste step in to support Rex after the sad news about Froggy. Does this bring the couple closer again?

"It does to an extent. I know that Rex feels like he's almost betrayed Ste by exploring his identity. He's tried to break down this masculine persona that he's got.

"Ste is on board with it, but he has to deal with how Rex thinks he'll react. Rex second-guesses everything, thinking: 'Ste isn't going to approve of this'. He judges himself and fears that he's ruining the relationship while trying to express who he is. That goes on for quite a bit.

"I think Froggy's death definitely brings them closer together, because obviously Rex realises that he's by himself now. It's really sad and difficult to watch, but they do get through it so it's not all doom and gloom!"

That's the ever-burning question! Can he ever stay on the straight and narrow? Can he hide who he is? When certain things arise, character is character.

"That's the thing that's really interesting for me in this storyline. Rex is trying to explore his past and trying to speak to the young boy he was before he joined the gang culture. He would have been an openly queer younger boy, but he fell into some really dangerous circles.

"It's basically about trying to honour that voice and work out what happened to the young boy he used to be, but he has been through what he's been through.

"I've always said that Rex has that exciting unpredictability, so when something goes wrong, it could spark him into something unexpected even though I know he means well. I don't think that side of you really goes!"

Home And Away star Tammin Sursok breaks down in tears after failing to get an acting job: 'It's harder than you think'

 Tammin Sursok has exposed the brutal reality of working as a professional actor after failing to score the lead role in a TV series. 

The Australian star, 42, who is best known for her roles on Home and Away and Pretty Little Liars, took to Instagram with a teary-eyed video on Tuesday after learning she had been passed over for the role.

'I just got word I didn't get an acting job that I was down to the wire for the lead for a TV show. This happens a lot,' the mother-of-two said as tears began to run down her face. 

'The amount of times it's been, like, me and another girl... my whole career.'; 

Tammin, who is an outspoken advocate for mental health, said rejection is common in her industry. 

'It's just harder than you think. And people think, like, 'Oh, just get on a show... or do a film.' It's, like, not that easy. And for me it's always down to the last two,' she said.

Her vulnerable post was met with an outpouring of support from her famous pals, many of whom have faced the brutal reality that comes with a career in showbiz. 

Australian musician Nathan Cavaleri said he could relate to Tammin's struggles, writing: 'From somebody in the music industry putting themselves out there daily, I feel you!' 

'Probably the worst time to give advice but an old friend of mine said that every closed door is just directing us on where to go.

'But I suppose the only way to subscribe to that philosophy is to have faith in the unknown, which can be quite difficult.'

Christie Hayes, who played Sursok's sister in Home and Away, meanwhile wrote:  'I'm so sorry honey, be so proud of yourself for how close you got, and remember you are already a leading lady.'  

'You have been the lead on TV shows before, you will be the lead on the next one. This was a huge win even though it hurts.'

American actress and TV personality Heather Dubrow also wrote: 'I feel you sister - sending you love and I know you know this … but your next big thing is out there.' 

It comes days after Tammin revealed a harrowing health ordeal that she has been struggling with for a year 

Elsewhere, American actress Marcia Cross offered: 'Been there. It will happen. But yes it hurts. And then one day…' 

It comes days after Tammin revealed a harrowing health ordeal that she has been struggling with for a year.

In an Instagram video last week, Tammin told fans that she 'really needed to heal her gut' after being plagued with heartburn and nausea symptoms for 12 months, which she said were triggered by certain foods. 

'So about a year ago, I was having this chronic clearing my throat issue and then I, after certain foods, I would get this burning sensation like heartburn and then nausea and all these things,' she said.

'I went to the doctor and they want to do an endoscopy, but they think it's called gastritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining.'

Tammin added that she was surprised by the doctor's hypothesis, given how well she looks after her health.  

'[It's] so bananas because I really take care of myself – don't drink alcohol and all these things. And I know that anyone can get gastritis so it's not just based on that,' she said. 

'But I really think that I have to start healing my insides. And I think a lot of what we put in our bodies has all this extra stuff that we don't know what's going on.'

Tammin rounded out her post urging followers suffering from gastritis to offer tips on how to 'heal the situation'.

Hollyoaks airs huge Clare Devine cliffhanger in early streaming release

 A showdown has huge consequences.

Hollyoaks has aired a huge cliffhanger involving Clare Devine, as her escape plan takes a horrifying turn. The villain has been in prison since last year, but last week she staged an elaborate break for freedom – and when she returned to the village, she fatally shot her grandad Froggy as an altercation escalated.

This week, Clare blackmailed Donny for money, then she seized an opportunity and drove off in Sienna’s car, with Tori and baby Joseph in tow.

Cleo was beside herself as she realised her baby had gone missing in today’s episode. Sienna and Warren set off in hot pursuit of Clare, with Sophie in the backseat, while Mercedes was left to console Cleo.

Delighted to be reunited with her adopted daughter, Clare decided that she would start a new life on the run with Tori and Joseph. She eventually stopped the car and told Tori they would walk to the ferry port – but while Clare was distracted, Tori secretly grabbed Sienna’s phone and sent Warren a location pin.

Back in the village, Cleo raged at Clare and vowed to kill her for her actions. Dodger told her that Clare was heading to the ferry port and while he urged Cleo to stay put, she told Mercedes to let her go and find her child.

Sienna spotted her abandoned car, so she and Warren got out and headed towards the port, using the location pin for directions. Clare got lost trying to find the ferry port, so she was caught by Sienna and Warren on the edge of a cliff.

Tori immediately ran towards Warren, and after some gentle persuasion from Sienna, Clare finally gave baby Joseph back. Warren took the two kids away to safety, and left Sienna and Clare to face off.

Meanwhile, desperate Cleo arrived near the port and rushed towards the water, with Sophie running after her when she spotted her getting out a taxi.

Clare continued to taunt Sienna when she refused to help her get on a ferry, and the situation escalated when Clare revealed that before the plane crash, Jez told her Sienna killed Ethan.

Sienna was pushed to the brink and in a huge twist, she pushed Clare off the cliff and into the water – as horrified Sophie and Cleo watched on.

Has Sienna just killed Clare?
