Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ Warren Fox is set to be arrested next week, as Dodger accuses him of carrying out an armed robbery! But as he protests his innocence, has he been set up by someone else – and what does this mean for his relationship with Mercedes?
In this week’s scenes, Prince began being blackmailed by corrupt copper Smithy, who forced him into cooking steroids inside the high school. When John Paul caught them in the act, he was also ordered to get involved with the operation.
Next week, Prince apologises to John Paul for dragging him into a very dangerous situation – but it seems their plight is not over just yet.
Meanwhile, Dodger tells Theresa that he is working on the case of an armed robbery inside a confectionary shop. Later, he gets a strong lead and is alarmed when he discovers who the culprit is.

Dodger heads to the McQueens’ house with his colleagues, and Prince and John Paul are horrified when the authorities turn up on their doorstep.
The pair are convinced that they have been caught and are about to be arrested for their drug exploits – but they are shocked when they witness Dodger arresting Warren for armed robbery instead!
Warren is blindsided by this accusation and claims that he has been set up as he is dragged away by the police in front of his kids.

Thankfully for Warren, he gets a lifeline when Gemma gives the police a false statement – telling them that he was in bed with her on the night of the robbery!
Warren is initially dubious about his ex’s kindness and senses that Gemma is after something. But when he realises that she knows he wasn’t involved in the robbery, Warren wants answers – does Gemma know who is responsible?
Regardless, Warren’s run in with the police means that he misses his and Mercedes’ couples therapy session in the rehab clinic. Mercedes is hurt by his no-show and soon gets passionate with fellow patient Jake – who we know is actually called Jenson.

Later, Mercedes catches up with Warren and explains she is annoyed that he missed the session, admitting that she feels they will never be able to open up to each other properly.
She then confesses that she has developed feelings for another patient, leaving Warren crushed. Will the couple ever be able to reconcile?
