A Difficult Day for Martine...
Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (12th-16th April 2021)
Hollyoaks tackled the problem of unconscious bias this week as Grace and Martine both headed to the hospital to have breast lumps checked. As the week began, Celeste noticed a spark between Felix and Martine and tried to convince her Mother to tell him how she really felt. However, as Martine prepared to tell all, Grace interrupted. Later, Felix was clearly struggling with his feelings for both Martine and Grace and decided to ditch Grace’s birthday plans to spend time with Martine. Martine finally told Felix how she really felt and the pair shared a kiss. However, during the moment, the pair discovered a lump on Martine’s breast. Felix shared the discovery with Celeste and later had to contend with an angry Grace, who demanded to know what was going on...
Having found a lump herself a few weeks back, the day of Grace’s hospital appointment arrived, and it just so happened to be the same day as Martine’s. Before their appointments, both women had their interviews for the ‘Chester Business Woman of the Year Awards’. Whilst Grace’s interview went well, Martine had to contend with the interviewer’s abrupt attitude and the interview was cut short through no fault of her own. Both women then headed to the hospital, where an argument over Felix broke out. However, they were brought crashing back to reality when Peri arrived and revealed that, as the appointment had been double booked, the doctor would only be able to see one of them. Grace immediately began to cry and Peri ushered her in, insisting that she needed to be seen that day. Of course, Martine was understandably annoyed and when she attempted to stand up for her right to see the doctor, Peri told her her to stop being aggressive. Unaware of what had happened, Felix went to the hospital, intending to support Martine through her appointment, however, he ended up bumping into Grace, who assumed he was there for her.
The following day, Celeste was stunned to hear about what had happened at the hospital and gave Peri a piece of her mind. Peri initially failed to accept any wrongdoing however, after a chat with Misbah, she realised where she’d gone wrong and went to find Martine to offer her a rescheduled appointment. Unfortunately, Martine was given bad news when Peri informed her that the lump was suspicious and she would need to undergo a biopsy...
Meanwhile, Sienna was back to her old tricks this week as she poisoned Summer in a bid to spend some time alone with Brody. However, Sienna’s plan went wrong when Brody realised that Sienna had broken into Summer’s flat last week and told her that her deranged behaviour was exactly why he couldn’t be with her. Things were soon about to get a whole lot worse for Sienna when Summer came round and told Damon and Liberty that Sienna had poisoned her. Horrified by her sister’s actions, Liberty decided to move out and Sienna soon had some explaining to do when DS Cohen turned up to arrest her. Sienna was then dealt another blow when Sally got wind of what had happened and suspended her from school. However, in a surprising turn of events, Summer decided to drop the charges and convinced Sally to give Sienna another chance. When Sienna questioned her rival, Summer told her that she was having too much fun to see her sent down...
