The character played by Niamh Blackshaw died months after being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Juliet's partner Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell) and her family have been trying to plan the funeral according to her wishes, but her brother James (Gregory Finnegan) insists on a traditional service.

Meanwhile, Rayne Royce's (Jemma Donovan) jealousy over Romeo (Owen Warner) and Peri getting closer takes a toll on her.

Read on for more Hollyoaks spoilers for episodes airing between Monday, July 3rd and Friday, July 7th.

Rayne is still reeling from seeing Romeo and Peri together bonding over the loss of Juliet.

When she finds them asleep on the sofa after a night of making funeral arrangements, she's less than impressed and makes sure everyone is well aware.

Her best friend Lacey Lloyd (Annabelle Davis) warns her that her continuous social media posts about Juliet containing pictures of herself may come across as tasteless. The influencer admits that she's been struggling seeing Peri devastated about losing the love of her life as it's triggering memories of Brent, her ex-boyfriend who took his own life.

2. Romeo misses Juliet's funeral

While Romeo and Peri want to respect Juliet's plan, James opts for a more traditional ceremony - with everyone wearing black.

Peri is upset at James ignoring his sister's wishes. Seeing the lawyer determined to have his way, the nurse makes the decision not to attend her girlfriend's funeral.

Romeo goes after her, sharing some wise words and convincing her to go to the service with him.

On the day, however, Romeo is nowhere to be seen.

Unsure about where he stands with Shing Lin Leong (Izzie Yip), Charlie snaps when she hugs him in front of Ella.

Later on, Dave (Dominic Power) and Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) team up to have the kids make up, but will Shing Lin and Charlie be annoyed over their meddling?
