Digital Spy broke the news last month that Garcia had returned to filming for a guest stint.

At the time, there was no official word on what would bring Zoe back to the village – but Pearl and Jack have now announced their decision to set a date for the wedding.

In yesterday's episode, Jack asked all of his family to join him and Pearl at The Hutch for the special announcement.

Once everyone had gathered, Pearl revealed: "We've got our marriage licence! So it's full steam ahead for our marriage in a few weeks!"

Nancy then led the celebrations, proposing a toast to "Pearl and Jack and many years of wedded bliss".

A Hollyoaks source told Digital Spy: "Zoe returns for the wedding as she's keen to be part of the occasion.

"It'll also be the first time in two years that we'll see her sharing screen time with her ex-fiancé Prince McQueen, who recently paid an off-camera visit to her in Dubai alongside his current girlfriend Vicky."

Zoe left the village in January 2025 after splitting from Prince, taking their baby son Theo with her.

She headed to Dubai in the hope of reconnecting with her mum Sharon. Although Zoe was on bad terms with Prince as he'd cheated on her with Dilly Harcourt, they've since made amends off screen for Theo's sake. It's also been mentioned that Zoe is now engaged to a new man.

Our Hollyoaks insider previously teased: "It remains to be seen whether Zoe is still happy with her new man when she returns! Could her arrival spark trouble between Prince and his on-off girlfriend Vicky, who's already been struggling this year? Or is she only back for her family?"

Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.
