She was also anxious about the meeting with social services, which will determine where Joseph lives.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"26\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Sienna soon spoke with Sophie, who was absent from school. Sienna noted that her daughter had been noticeably quieter in recent weeks, and Sophie shared that she had done something &#8220;really bad&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"two individuals engaged in a conversation in a modern living space\" title=\"hollyoaks sophie sienna blake\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2133\" height=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hollyoaks-sophie-sienna-699df421dad1d.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Lime Pictures<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"32\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/soaps\/hollyoaks\/a70477789\/hollyoaks-spoilers-dillon-lucas-update-prison-scenes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/soaps\/hollyoaks\/a70477789\/hollyoaks-spoilers-dillon-lucas-update-prison-scenes\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Hollyoaks reveals surprise Dillon and Lucas update in secret prison scenes\" data-node-id=\"32.0.1\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hollyoaks reveals surprise Dillon and Lucas update in secret prison scenes<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"36\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">After the confession took place off-screen, Sienna called Warren to the flat and shared that Sophie was the one who had shaken Joseph that night, adding that it was done in order for the baby to stop crying.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"40\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Though Sienna admitted that Sophie didn&#8217;t use those &#8220;exact&#8221; words, she was torn about what to do. On the one hand, she felt an obligation towards Cleo, but was also hopeful that Joseph could still live with them.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"44\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">If she were to tell social services about Sophie&#8217;s admission, then Joseph would likely be taken away from the household.
