Is Mercedes Mcqueen Leaving Hollyoaks?

In a recent Hollyoaks episode, viewers were emotional after Mercedes McQueen, played by Jennifer Metcalfe, was told she only has 12 months to live. After a time jump in the show, it was revealed that Mercedes had been fighting bowel cancer for the past year. She had surgery and chemotherapy, but doctors found another tumour on her liver.

In the episode on Tuesday, September 24, Mercedes learned that the chemotherapy hadn’t worked. Without a special drug, which is hard to get, she has only about a year to live. You can watch the episode on Channel 4 online.

Does Mercedes Die in Hollyoaks?

No, in today’s Hollyoaks episode, Mercedes was told the heartbreaking news that her chemotherapy hadn’t worked. Without a special drug, which is hard to get, she only has about a year to live.

The episode ended with a powerful moment where Mercedes looked at herself in the mirror. She was in her underwear, without her wig, and had her stoma bag visible. She then listened to a CD her loved ones had made for her and danced, crying, as she tried to accept the frightening news.

Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes, spoke about filming this emotional scene. She said it felt like a mix of many emotions: beautiful, sad, draining, exciting, and upsetting.

In the scene, Mercedes first looks at herself in the mirror and gets emotional. Then, when she looks at her children, she finds some strength. She listens to the CD with messages from her friends, which makes her laugh. When the music starts, she dances freely. Jennifer said she wondered, "How am I going to do this?" but found a way to express all those emotions.
