Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood) proposed to Mercedes earlier this week, unaware at the fact she cheated on him with his best friend, but she turned him down.

Viewers have seen Felix turn to underground fighting in recent episodes, using it as a form of self-harm following his son leaving the village. His mental health struggles are due to come to a head when Felix heads to a quarry feeling disconnected from his loved ones.

Speaking about the steamy affair storyline, soap legend Jennifer Metcalfe said: "It was inevitable that she was going to cheat on Felix with somebody and I’ve worked with Jamie so much, the characters are great together, so if it was going to be anyone then Warren’s a good person for her to choose. The dynamic between the three of us is just brilliant."

Pearl Anderson (Dawn Hope) is worried about Felix as she becomes increasingly fed up with Mercedes' treatment of him. Is she concerned he might be about to become the McQueen’s eighth dead husband?

Next week, Mercedes tries to get to the bottom of where Felix is and if he caught the her and Warren in their secret affair. She is unaware that Warren knows exactly where Felix is.

During Wednesdsay's (September 27) episode, at the clifftop Felix and Warren sat together in a car at the clifftop, contemplating how to return to Hollyoaks village. An ambulance arrived at the scene and Felix told Warren he wants to go in it to seek help.
