Hollyoaks' Mercedes McQueen confirms baby news in 25th anniversary episode

From Digital Spy

Hollyoaks spoilers follow from Wednesday's E4 first look episode (October 21), which some readers may prefer to avoid.

Hollyoaks has revealed that Mercedes McQueen is pregnant as the family's blackmail plot took a terrifying turn tonight (October 21).

Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) shared the happy news with her delighted husband Sylver and the rest of their family in Wednesday's special E4 episode, which marked the show's 25th anniversary milestone.

Mercedes' baby announcement comes amid a difficult few weeks for the McQueens, who have been targeted by a mystery blackmailer.

In recent days, viewers have seen the McQueens receive a package containing a creepy doll, who has been threatening to expose their darkest secrets.

As Mercedes and her loved ones haven't been complying with the doll's demands for cash, they've been forced to face the wrath of their vengeful enemy – with Sylver being first to pay the price when he nearly got sent down for murder.

Although some further interventions allowed Sylver to walk free, the gang faced further pressure to try and guess the identity of their stalker against the clock.

Tonight's episode unveiled evil serial killer Silas as the person stalking the clan, but some further hints have suggested that he has an accomplice who has been pushing the macabre doll idea.

At the end of her tether, Mercedes urged her family not to give into the doll's demands tonight, insisting they could face whatever it threw at them.

The McQueens were then given a much-needed distraction thanks to Mercedes' baby news, unaware that sinister Silas was watching them closely.

A heart-stopping moment then saw Silas prepare to murder Mercedes, but was stopped in his tracks when he realised she was pregnant.

History then repeated itself for Silas as he decided against harming Mercedes while she was carrying a baby, but who will he target instead? And is there someone else involved?
