Over on Hollyoaks, Ste Hay and Brendan Brady are in for a surprise when Doug Carter arrives back in the village.

Doug (PJ Brennan) jetted off home to America late last year after realising that he had to let go of his relationship with Ste, but surprisingly, he seems happier than ever upon his return. Is Doug over Ste?

Doug's return isn't the only thing that Brendan (Emmett Scanlan) has to deal with, as he is still struggling to cope with his abusive father Seamus's presence in the village.

Unable to control his anger, Brendan loses his temper when Liam accidentally smashes Leah's school project. He also finds himself in an argument with Mitzeee at Chez Chez, which leads to a shock confession from Brendan about his childhood abuse.

Later, when Mitzeee is interviewing for new barmen at the club, a ruthless Brendan gets rid of every candidate apart from newcomer Kevin (Elliot Balchin).

It looks like Kevin has landed himself the job - but as he later spies on Brendan and Ste from afar and reports back to someone, it seems that he may have an ulterior motive for being in the village.

Things are looking up for Brendan when he makes the big decision to live with Ste, but does Kevin's arrival mean that more trouble is brewing for the Irishman?
