Next week, Diane asks Leela if she can look after Dee Dee for the night, hoping Tony will notice how brilliant she is with the kids. Amid this sad storyline, Hollyoaks is gearing up to give more screen time to a forgotten family relation as Dee Dee reconnects with her biological aunt Leela, the sister of Dee Dee’s mum Tegan, who passed away in 2018.
In the new scenes, Ro and Ant are arguing over Kathleen-Angel. Diane tells Tony she wants peace in this house and suggests they can rely on Leela for help.
Diane then encourages Tony to take their children out to the cinema with Leela and her children under the guise of them needing some normality, but she has another idea.
Meanwhile, Nancy comes round to keep Diane company.
