Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) is determined to get her son back in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings). 

After finding herself in another downward spiral and feeling unable to be a good parent to her son, Bobby Costello (Jayden Fox), Mercedes sent Bobby to live with his Aunty, Wendy Blissett (Jennifer Armour). 

Mercedes thought she was doing the right thing and that it was the best option for Bobby, however things haven’t gone at all to plan. 

Mercedes is unaware that Wendy is in cahoots with her father, evil serial killer, Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle). 

Silas and Wendy have secret plans for Bobby and Mercedes has become increasingly estranged from Bobby as manipulative Wendy has sunk her claws into him and turned him against his mum.

Now Mercedes wants her son back at home but it’s proving impossible. 

Tonight, and still being kept away from Bobby, Mercedes decides to resort to extreme measures to get Bobby back.

When she finds out he’s on a school trip, she ambushes him with the aim of taking him home with her. 

Will her plan be successful? Or are things only going to get worse?
