Juliet Nightingale and Peri Lomax are growing closer again on Hollyoaks, setting up a potential reconciliation.
The two exes have been a constant, loving presence in each other's lives despite Juliet (Niamh Blackshaw) previously breaking up with fiancée Peri (Ruby O'Donnell) after cheating on her with Nadira Valli (Ashling O'Shea).
After sharing a kiss last year, the former couple have attempted to rebuild their bond. Things took an unexpected turn when Juliet got diagnosed with cancer in recent episodes, with Peri promising to be by her side.
In new scenes, the two women decide to take things slow and not get back together for the time being.

Peri encourages Juliet to tell her family that her cancer is not responding to treatment and will need a more aggressive cycle. However, Juliet's mum Donna-Marie (Lucy-Jo Hudson) assumes the big news her daughter has to deliver has to do with Peri and throws them a party.
