The episode sees Yasmine Maalik preparing to propose to Tom Cunningham while the letter is read out by Hollyoaks' adult cast.
It remains to be seen whether Tom will accept the proposal or leave Yasmine to pursue her dream of becoming a journalist.
To create the video, cast members had to be filmed separately due to the pandemic.
