Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks' latest trailer is a Christmas cracker, offering a first look at the show's festive storylines and other shock plots airing over the winter.

Old relationships are about to be revisited, evil Edward could be pushing his luck too far, and two characters may be receiving visits from the Grim Reaper… but are there some red herrings in there too?

Here are 11 of the biggest spoilers we've spotted.

1. Tragedy for John Paul

Do we finally have our answer over who's in the body bag at New Year? It's possible, as the new trailer once again shows John Paul crying next to the crime scene outside The Hutch – a heartbreaking moment first teased in last year's flashforward episode.

But hang on a minute, this time we get to see much more of the scene as PC Kiss's work badge is lying right next to the body bag. No wonder John Paul is so upset, believing that his boyfriend could be a goner.

So, could PC Kiss really be the unlucky victim after his hard work investigating the County Lines drug ring, or is this a sneaky Hollyoaks red herring?

We can't help suspecting that the show wouldn't really spoil its biggest mystery of the year in a trailer, but stranger things have happened in the soap world.

2. Sienna cheats

Sienna's relationship with Brody hits the rocks as he grows closer to new girl Summer, who's the daughter of Cormac. This leads to Sienna cosying up to her ex-boyfriend Warren once again.

The story comes to a head when Liberty reveals that she saw Warren and Sienna kissing, in a moment that's sure to leave Brody heartbroken.

3. Toby's killer secret is exposed

Celeste has been cleaning up her brother Toby's messes over the past few months, helping him to conceal the truth about Lisa's murder and stop Mitchell from exposing what happened. However, she might finally have had enough of protecting his horrifying secrets when she ends up injured as a consequence of his temper.

The new trailer shows Celeste telling Felix the truth about Toby's crimes – and only time will tell how their dad reacts in the aftermath.

4. Silas lines up surprising new targets

Serial killer Silas continues to pose a dangerous threat in the village, but it's not just his arch-enemy Mercedes who needs to be worried.

New footage shows Silas honing in on a vulnerable Cher when she's drunk on the City Wall.

In a separate scene, Silas also declares that the McQueens will never see Mercedes's son Bobby again. It seems that the sly supervillain will stop at nothing when it comes to tormenting the family.

5. Mercedes and Sylver's marriage is pushed to the edge

The pressure of the McQueens' blackmail ordeal looks set to take a severe toll on Mercedes. One scene from the trailer shows Mercedes storming away from Sylver, vowing to sleep with every man she can find. Mercy's ex-lover Warren is then seen revealing that they've slept together again.

Sylver also watches on in horror as his pregnant wife slips from the City Wall after a spooky phone call from Silas. Will Mercedes and the baby be okay?

6. Diane's death is announced

The walls will start closing in on evil Edward in the coming weeks as Diane sees his true colours and Verity vows to destroy him, but he refuses to go down without a fight.

One particularly shocking moment from the trailer shows Edward viciously attacking Diane with a briefcase, after she declares that she'd rather die than marry him.

Edward later tells a horrified Tony that Diane is dead, causing him to collapse in shock.

It's another moment where we can't help feeling we're not getting the full story, though. Is Diane really gone, or is this another of Edward's manipulations? And what is Edward planning when he gives Tony a mince pie, branding it "to die for"?

7. Tom and Yazz's New Year wedding

Tom and Yazz's relationship remains a central focus in the coming weeks as they continue to make preparations for their New Year wedding. Bride-to-be Yazz can be seen gushing over her fiancé while trying on wedding dresses for the big day.

The happy couple hope their special event will go off without a hitch, but with the County Lines plot set to come to a head on the day of the ceremony, we're not too hopeful. Speaking of which…

8. The County Lines drama leaves everyone in danger

The pressure on the village's younger characters will continue in the build-up to New Year, as it's not just Victor that they need to be worrying about. Jordan is reinstated as boss of the drugs operations in the village, so he ramps up the pressure on Charlie and Ella.

Juliet also struggles with the situation, wanting to escape the dark world of drugs but feeling unable to do so as Victor is threatening her family.

As the drama starts to build towards a dramatic climax, Victor warns Juliet that one of her loved ones will be dead by midnight. This could be bad news for James, who is seen trying to rescue Juliet from her frightening ordeal.

Peri could also be in trouble, as she's falling for Juliet and wants them to be together – but might Victor put a stop to that?

While the younger crowd are all in turmoil, the parents and guardians in the village seem to be getting closer to the truth.

Mandy is alarmed when she finds a large amount of money in Ella's bag, while the police discover drugs in Nancy's house. Darren also makes an alarming discovery about Charlie's actions.

9. Sid and Leela both return

Sid returns from his time in rehab, where the teen has received expert support after having part of his leg amputated. The new trailer shows Sid trying to adapt to his new life, with a fun distraction potentially on the horizon when his fellow teens want to start their own band.

Leela is also back in the village after her time away, reuniting with her brother Ste for the first time in a year. How will she react to Sid's recent accident – and how would she feel if she knew how much danger he's still in?

10. Imran and Brooke grow closer

Brooke's relationship with Ollie was recently left in tatters, and Ollie will remain on a downward spiral over the rest of the year as he continues to take drugs and struggles to keep his worrying habit to himself.

While Ollie's life falls apart, there could be happier times ahead for Brooke and Imran as they grow closer and declare their feelings for each other.

11. Joel and Theresa's relationship is revisited

Joel is known for his love of McQueen women and it seems that he could be getting a little bit confused in the coming weeks.
