Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ Cleo McQueen and Sienna Blake are set to face more baby turmoil, but someone is on hand to save the day. Cleo is currently in a psychiatric ward undergoing treatment for postpartum psychosis.
Cleo was previously in the hospital for a couple of months but was readmitted recently after a scary incident involving baby Joseph.
Cleo’s baby had a seizure after being shaken, and it was assumed that Cleo was responsible, though signs suggest that Sienna’s daughter Sophie could be hiding something about the incident.
In scenes that will air next week, a crucial social services meeting looms over Sienna and Cleo, which will decide where baby Joseph lives while Cleo remains in the hospital.
Sienna asks Liberty to apologise to Ste for missing his party, and with Sophie out of school, Sienna presses her daughter for answers after noticing how withdrawn she has become over the past few weeks.
During a visit to the hospital, Sienna and Cleo discuss their future, sharing hopeful dreams of what’s to come.

When Sienna and Myra both learn they’ve failed the checks and that baby Joseph will be placed into temporary foster care, panic sets in.
After spotting Leela’s name on the list, Sienna pleads with social services to give her some more time in order to speak to Leela.
Sienna and Myra plead with Leela to take in Joseph so that he can stay in the village near his loved ones.
Torn by the thought of raising her husband’s love child though unable to face a family ripped apart, Leela agrees to decide after seeing Cleo for herself.
What choice will she make?

Viewers know that this is an awkward situation for Leela, whose husband Joel fathered baby Joseph after cheating on Leela with Cleo in a one night stand.
Speaking recently about #Clienna’s future, Cleo star Nadine Mulkerrin said: “As soon as you start messing around with mothers being taken away from their babies, I’m not sure there’s much coming back from that.
“Maybe Clienna isn’t endgame after all, or maybe they can work on their relationship and get through it…”
