Zara Morgan (Kelly Condron) is advised to play dirty in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings). 

But will she go down a dodgy route to gain victory at the local election or will she keep things honest and all above board?

As the election day gets underway in Hollyoaks, Zara and her opponent, Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) are going head to head for the council position.

When Zara’s campaign manager, Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams) is held up in traffic, Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) steps up to the plate at the last minute to help Zara out. 

However, it’s not long before Cindy advises Zara that she needs to be much more ruthless and play dirty in order to win.

Will Zara follow Cindy's advice?

It looks like Zara is going to take a really different approach to the one advised by Cindy when she decides to make a moving speech about making Hollyoaks a dementia-friendly village.  

Listening to Zara’s passion and commitment, her rival, Tony, starts to have doubts about his own campaign and begins worrying that he might not be up to the job in hand. 

Has Tony’s confidence taken a worrying dip?

And does Zara now have victory in her sights?

Elsewhere, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) is upping her secret revenge plot and has a surprise for her boyfriend Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas). 

Sienna has cooked up some poisonous cupcakes!

As she sets her plan in motion she issues Warren with a deadly proposition. 

Either he must confess to killing Brody Hudson (Adam Woodward) on camera or he will be forced to pay a deadly price! 

What will Warren do?

Meanwhile, ambitious teacher, Olivia Bradshaw (Emily Burnett) is beaming when the education inspectors give Hollyoaks High impressive reviews. 

Olivia, who is acting Deputy Head, wastes no time in approaching Headteacher, Sally St Claire (Annie Wallace), presenting her with the facts and outlining why she thinks Sally should now make her the permanent Deputy Head.
