Hollyoaks<\/a> spoilers follow for today\u2019s double episode (8 July), which is available to watch now on streaming service Channel 4 and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV.<\/p>\n

Hollyoaks has done something a bit different in today\u2019s special double episode<\/a>, as Leah Barnes and Imran Maalik host a dinner party for their friends aboard their new swanky houseboat. But Frankie Osborne, Caleb Keane, Vicky Grant and Prince McQueen soon realise that there\u2019s a very different reason for the gathering\u2026<\/p>\n

After a posh meal, Leah explains to the group that she is working with an American professor on a research project about the psychology of confession. She invites her friends to record themselves confessing their darkest secret to help her gather data and offers them each \u00a3100,000 if they participate.<\/p>\n

The gang eventually agree to take part, with the assurance that the videos will remain totally anonymous. But Leah lies to everyone, as she later tucks into a bowl of popcorn as she watches everyone\u2019s confessions \u2013 and is shocked by what she discovers\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Prince is in love\"prince<\/p>\n

Prince\u2019s initial confession is that after only being in love twice before in his life, he admits he is in head over heels again \u2013 but not with Vicky, with Leah. He explains that while his current girlfriend Vicky needs him, his true feelings lie elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Prince recently saved Leah during a violent situation at The Loft, though he later told suspicious Vicky that he only has eyes for her. With Leah watching this secret declaration, will she do anything in response?<\/p>\n

2. Caleb isn’t in love\"caleb<\/p>\n

Caleb uses his time in the booth to talk about the impact of the recent car crash<\/a> that left him unable to walk, fearing that he is now seen as the “lad in a wheelchair”, like he was seen as the “kid whose mum died” during his childhood. <\/p>\n

He admits that while he and Frankie recently dropped the l-word, he isn\u2019t sure how he really feels about her but is willing to hold on to this relationship as everything else in his life feels uncertain. Will Leah use Caleb\u2019s secret doubts about Frankie to his advantage? <\/p>\n

3. Vicky has a secret struggle\"vicky<\/p>\n

As Prince admits feelings for someone else, Vicky is incredibly candid in her own confessional. She talks openly about her struggles with not feeling enough, comparing herself to Leah and remarking that they are treated differently by others, not least because of the colour of their skin.<\/p>\n

Vicky says out loud that she has a problem with food<\/a>, and how not eating makes her feel worthy and in control. She recognises that no one has spotted that she\u2019s struggling but realises in the confession booth that this isn\u2019t a healthy coping mechanism. Could this mark an important turning point for Vicky?<\/p>\n

4. Prince is plotting a murder\"prince<\/p>\n

Prince\u2019s love confession isn\u2019t the only thing he gets off his chest in the booth, as he also admits to something he\u2019s been hiding for years. Since his twin brother Hunter\u2019s death<\/a> from dodgy drugs in 2024, Prince has had revenge on his mind.<\/p>\n

He has spent every waking moment planning how to carry out the perfect murder and plotting to kill Warren \u2013 who supplied the deadly pills to Hunter. How does Prince intend to kill Warren, and will horrified Leah do anything to stop him?<\/p>\n

5. Frankie is playing Leah\"frankie<\/p>\n

Lime Pictures<\/p>\n

Frankie has been forced to keep some devastating secrets during her life, so she admits in the booth that she now has nothing left to hide. But she is the most suspicious about Leah\u2019s experiment, so her confession is tinged with sarcasm, and she uses it to play a sneaky game.<\/p>\n

As Frankie firmly believes Leah will watch the videos back, she addresses her directly and claims that Imran admitted that he doesn\u2019t really love her. While this could well be false, Leah doing anything about this revelation would prove she lied about the anonymity of the confessions. How will Leah approach this tricky situation?<\/p>\n

6. Imran’s secret remains hidden\"imran<\/p>\n

Lime Pictures<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the episode is that Leah\u2019s fianc\u00e9 Imran also records a confession<\/a> \u2013 but Leah chooses not to watch his and assumes that there\u2019s nothing she doesn\u2019t already know about him. As a result, viewers don\u2019t get to watch Imran\u2019s video either, but there\u2019s every chance that he has a burning secret as well.<\/p>\n

Is what Frankie says about Imran true after all, or could he be hiding something else that not even Leah knows?<\/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. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.<\/p>\n
