'Hollyoaks': Carmel's troubles continue - spoiler pictures

Hollyoaks favourite Carmel McQueen continues to struggle with self-esteem issues next week as she is still adjusting to life with her facial scar.

The beautician, played by Gemma Merna, has found her change in appearance difficult to cope with since a tanning machine exploded in her face a few months ago.

Carmel's morale receives a much-needed boost in upcoming episodes when Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) returns to the village for a visit, and the pair are closer than ever after spending the summer together.

It seems that Carmel could be turning a corner when she later heads to Atwells for her first day back at work, but an encounter with Liam Gilmore (James Farrar) soon leaves her questioning herself all over again.

Liam flirts with Carmel when she first arrives at the gym, but when he looks closer and spots her scar, he can't help but visibly flinch.







Carmel's confidence plummets after she notices Liam's reaction, but will he be able to make amends?

Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Friday, November 23 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
