Hollyoaks has aired a huge cliffhanger between Tony Hutchinson and Leela Lomax following Diane Hutchinson’s emotional funeral scenes. <\/p>\n

In heartbreaking scenes that aired last month, Diane died<\/a> after being diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n

In last week’s episodes, Leela gave Tony a pile of letters<\/a> that Diane wrote for him and the kids, which she wanted them to read on the day of her funeral. <\/p>\n

Diane and Tony’s daughter Dee Dee secretly read them all that evening, and something in the letter to Tony stopped her in her tracks.<\/p>\n

In tonight’s episode, on the day of Diane’s funeral, Dee Dee was heartbroken to read that her mum had wished for Tony to move on, so she hid the letter. <\/p>\n

When Tony went to hand the letters out to the children, he realised that his letter was missing and started to panic. <\/p>\n

A frantic Tony was searching for his letter when Ste and Leela turned up. Leela comforted Tony as the last sentence of the letter to Tony was heard, with Diane saying in a voiceover that she wants Tony to fall in love with Leela. <\/p>\n

A suspicious Dee Dee gave Leela the cold shoulder and the villagers gathered to pay their respects and say a final farewell to Diane. <\/p>\n

At the wake, which was held at The Dog, Leela raised a toast to Diane, saying Diane was “irreplaceable”.<\/p>\n

Dee Dee publicly confronted Leela, accusing her of wanting to replace Diane, saying: “You two-faced bitch. Don’t pretend you’re not happy she’s gone. You can’t wait to take her place.” <\/p>\n

When Leela said she didn’t know what Dee Dee meant, Dee Dee said: “You’re after my dad. It says so right here in mum’s letter.”<\/p>\n

Later, Dee Dee apologised to her dad on the city walls and Tony explained why Diane wanted her family to find happiness again. He promised not to move on from Diane.<\/p>\n

Dee Dee apologised to her siblings for causing a scene and with some encouragement from Kathleen-Angel, Ant forgave his sister. <\/p>\n

As a drunken Tony stumbled out of the pub, Leela assured him she was there to help, and, getting mixed signals, he tried to kiss Leela while Dee Dee watched on. How will she react to what she has seen? <\/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
