<\/p>\nHollyoaks has finally explained what caused baby Joseph’s seizures, confirming that Sienna Blake’s daughter Sophie wasn’t behind the incident. <\/p>\n
In recent weeks, Cleo McQueen was readmitted to the psychiatric ward after a scary incident involving baby Joseph. <\/p>\n
After the baby had a seizure, it was assumed that he had been shaken and that Cleo was responsible. <\/p>\n
Later, it was revealed that Sienna’s daughter Sophie, was hiding things, leading Sienna to suspect her daughter of shaking her partner’s baby. <\/p>\n
In tonight’s episode, Sienna visited Cleo in the hospital and was forced to finally confess the truth after Leela found out that Cleo was innocent. <\/p>\n
Sienna said: “I found out that Sophie may have been the one to accidentally hurt Joseph, which means it wasn’t you. So that’s something to be grateful for, right?” <\/p>\n

You’re not his mother. I am.”<\/p>\n Meanwhile, at The Hutch, Mercedes thanked Leela for stepping up for her family as she fussed over baby Joseph. Her joy soon turned to terror when Joseph suddenly suffered another seizure.<\/p>\n At the hospital, Sienna panicked when she saw that Joseph was being rushed in, so she confessed to Misbah that she thought Sophie had been harming him. <\/p>\n Lime Pictures<\/p>\n Related: Hollyoaks confirms Diane’s emotional exit storyline after 16 years<\/a><\/p>\n Misbah later delivered devastating news to the family, telling them that doctors suspect Joseph has a rare genetic disorder, Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1).<\/p>\n “We don’t believe Joseph sustained head trauma from being shaken. Not now, not before,” Misbah said, before telling the family about GA1. <\/p>\n When Cleo explained that GA1 is a genetic metabolic disorder that prevents protein from breaking down in the diet, Misbah said: “We’re putting him on an emergency regime of a protein substitute.”<\/p>\n Sienna told Cleo she was sorry for keeping her suspicions about Sophie a secret, and Cleo said: “I don’t want your apology. I just want to go and see my son.”<\/p>\n Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming<\/a> premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm.
