Hollyoaks' Charlie to face a big decision after sleeping with Ella

Hollyoaks spoilers ahead.

Charlie Dean has a big decision to make in upcoming Hollyoaks scenes, after he and Ella Richardson slept together.

Charlie and Ella decide to talk about what happened, but they're quickly interrupted by Scott Drinkwell, who's helping Ella, Vicky Grant and Shing Lin Leong get their prom outfits ready.

When Ella pulls out one of Cindy Cunningham's old dresses, Scott suggests it's a little bit inappropriate. Ella feels embarrassed and is keen to buy something new to wear at the prom.

Charlie then manages to grab Ella for a minute alone, and they both agree that the other night was a mistake. Sensing that Ella is frustrated over finding something to wear for the prom, he tells her she's beautiful in whatever she wears – before majorly putting his foot in it.

Later, Ella comes across an anonymous parcel containing a dress on the front doorstep, but she has a sneaky suspicion about who it's from. She subsequently thanks Charlie for the thoughtful gift, and leads him upstairs.

Later, she's seen leaving the Osborne home after spending the night with Charlie.

Elsewhere, Darren Osborne wants to cheer up his son Oscar, who's missing mum Nancy, and puts together a puppet with her face on before testing it out on Charlie. When the doorbell goes, Charlie feels relieved. Shing Lin is at the door, with some news to share.

The teenagers are devastated when they learn that prom night has been cancelled.

However, Shing Lin has an idea and calls in reinforcements in the shape of former headteacher Sally St Claire, who pulls some strings to get the event back on track.

But when Shing Lin celebrates the news by putting her arms around Charlie, Ella, who feels confused, lashes out.

Further into the episode, Charlie is seen getting ready for the big night, but his excitement dissipates when it becomes apparent that Darren is on chaperone duties. Unsure where he stands with Shing Lin, and with Darren in his ear, Charlie explodes.

Dave Chen-Williams and Darren then decide to intervene, but it doesn't go smoothly.
