Hollyoaks spoiler: Mercedes McQueen cuddles up to first husband Russ Owen as they reunite in Majorca
Jennifer Metcalfe and Stuart Manning have been spotted filming scenes on the beaches of the Spanish island
ROMANCE could be getting complicated for Mercedes McQueen as Hollyoaks continues filming in Majorca.
Cast members of the Channel 4 soap have been lapping up the sunshine on the Spanish island for the past few weeks as The McQueen family take to the popular European holiday destination.
Jennifer Metcalfe is making her return to the soap following a year off after giving birth to her son, Daye.
And it would seem her return will bring plenty of drama with it – as well as another familiar face from the soap’s history.
Mercedes looks set to return to the show for a wedding – as previous set photos showed the character wearing a “bride to be” badge while her on-screen family helped her celebrate a hen do.
While it is not yet clear exactly who Mercedes will be marrying, the surprise return of Russ Owen (played by Stuart Manning) could suggest Mercedes new marriage might be off to an interesting start.
Mercedes and Russ were previously married on the soap - tying-the-knot in 2007 before breaking up in 2008.
Stuart, 39, was a cast member for five years before quitting the show in 2009 to take part in I’m A Celebrity.
Set photos show Mercedes and Russ looking pretty close as they cosy up in the Spanish sunshine.
Jennifer (as Mercedes) can be seen wearing a gold bikini and a golden skirt.
While Stuart (as Russ) has stripped down to a pair of red swim shorts.
Other cast members of the show have jetted to the Spanish set for scenes that are set to air later this summer.
Nicole Barber-Lane is on hand to play mother-of-the-bride, Myra McQueen – while Chelsee Healey plays on-screen cousin, Goldie McQueen.
Jennifer has already expressed her excitement at returning to the long running soap - but says she hopes she can enjoy some fun plot lines.
