Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Warren Fox will face a life-changing decision in Ella Richardson's paternity story in Hollyoaks.

Ella has recently been searching for clues on her biological father's identity, with evidence stacking up to suggest village gangster Warren may indeed be her dad.

The teen has been facing extra stress of late with her aunt Cindy Cunningham in hospital for mental health treatment. In upcoming scenes, Cindy is released and wants to cheer Ella up with a Sweet 16 party at The Loft.

Dave Chen-Williams agrees to talk to his niece Shing Lin Leong in order to smooth things over for the girls, following Ella and Charlie being caught out for seeing each other behind Shing Lin's back.

Cindy is soon in need of support of her own when she faces the realities of losing the market she'd worked so hard to build. Dave is there to be a shoulder she can cry on.

Meanwhile, Warren continues to be confused by the smoke and mirrors his mother Norma is putting him through in order to appease Terry Smart.

When Warren accuses her of setting him up on a fake job, Norma deflects by suggesting the two start a legitimate business together. The two later surprise Sienna and Ethan that they'll be their new business partners at The Loft – since Grace Black is behind bars.

Their first group decision is to cancel Ella's birthday party, leading to Ella reacting angrily when she hears the news. Norma picks up that there's something more between Ella and Warren's row than meets the eye.

Norma eventually decides that The Loft will host Ella's party after all, though Warren is angry that his mum has once again gone behind his back with a business decision.

The party gets off to a shaky start when a heartbroken Shing Lin turns up and goes for the microphone. During the party drama, Sienna worries that Ella may disrupt her own family dynamic with Warren.

She warns Warren that if he is Ella's father, her mum Mandy clearly didn't want him a part of his daughter's life for a reason.

In the aftermath of her party, Ella is drawn further into Warren's world when she walks in on Terry Smart robbing the garage.

At the same time, Warren secretly goes to Cindy with questions about Ella, yet he finds that she's distracted with her own problems.

The news is starting to spread throughout Warren's inner-circle, leading to his son Joel asking for the truth about Ella. When the two bump into the teen, Warren asks Ella to come around for a private chat.
