Hollyoaks has released its spring trailer for 2026, and it’s jam-packed full of drama including the return of Clare Devine. Gemma Bissix’s iconic villain returned from the not-so dead last year, unmasked as the mastermind behind the human trafficking operation.<\/p>\n

She then faked cancer to elicit sympathy, revealed that Rex Gallagher is Grace Black’s son, and caused death and destruction in the anniversary week plane crash.<\/p>\n

But now she’s escaped from prison, and she’s not only targeting grandfather Froggy Black, but also Sienna Blake.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Sienna, it looks like her relationship with Cleo McQueen might be hitting the rocks due to accusations of manipulation, and Cleo getting very close with Dodger – something his other half Theresa isn’t happy about either!<\/p>\n

There’s also the introduction of the new Keane family (with some familiar soap faces<\/a>), and Charlie Dean and Vicky Grant helping Frankie Osborne move to London. They may seem like separate storylines, but they collide in a major way – with a classic crash stunt!<\/p>\n

That leads into the trailer’s biggest surprise: that new character Beth is none other than Jack’s daughter.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, we see that Ste Hay is not reacting well to learning that his fianc\u00e9 Rex is currently experimenting with his gender identity<\/a>, and ends up in bed with none other than James Nightingale.<\/p>\n

And on a serious final note, there’s plenty of heartbreak for Hutchinson family as Diane’s terminal cancer diagnosis<\/a> really starts to hit home for Ant, while Diane herself tries her best to find someone to raise her kids when she’s gone…<\/p>\n
