It’s a marriage so short it gives the Kardashians a run for their money: coming up in Chester this week, Maxine tells Adam she’s leaving him.

The slap

Toby Wilde proves to be a chip off the old block this week, when he accuses Maxine Minniver of slapping him. Adam Donovan tells Maxine that no-one will believe his son, but can you see Darcy Wilde passing up an opportunity like this? Thought not.

Are Maxine and Adam over?

Darcy is thrilled when Maxine tells Adam they’re through and that she’s heading to America, land of dreams. Adam tries to get hold of his beau over the taxi radio system to stop her flee, because nothing says romance like a taxi radio. Speaking of which…

Kyle and Ryan get romantic in a toilet

Well, in a way. Kyle Kelly and Ryan Knight have been having a steamy affair but Ryan’s determined they’re done. When Kyle spots his sometime lover heading to the bogs in The Dog And Duck he follows him in to beg for another chance.

Who’s listening at the door?

We give this tryst a cat in hell’s chance of staying a secret after Scott Drinkwell heads into the toilets after the hubba hubba hot pair.

Hellloooo, Farrah

Well who’s this foxy new lady vrooming into Chester? It’s Farrah Maalik, Yasmine’s sister.

The tigress

Farrah is a clinical psychologist and we’re told that she’s a “tigress” with a feisty personality. We like her already. And she’s not the only member of Yasmine’s family set to make waves in the city: her mum Misbah’s on the way too.

Hold up at the Loft

And in not-at-all silly news, Grace Black and Warren Fox are sniping at each other when thugs rush in and handcuff them to a pipe. No, really. The ne’er-do-wells are owed money by Bart McQueen and thinkWarren knows where he is. That’s not the most silly part though. Our lips and sealed but make sure you tune in for a bit of peak Hollyoaks.
