Hollyoaks viewers were left sobbing after tonight's episode, as Scott Drinkwell was sectioned.
After Diane O’Connor left viewers enraged with her response to his suicide bid in last night's episode, Scott attempted to sneak out wearing a makeshift magician’s costume tonight, carrying on as normal.
He turned up at Nightingales' to perform his magic show, but Tony Hutchinson and Diane told him his gig had been cancelled.
Having spotted him out, Lily and Farrah arrived but fragile Scott locked himself in the kitchen and started trashing the place.
Diane eventually got through to Scott, and he offloaded all his feelings on to her.
She promised to look after him, but told him he needed to go back to hospital first "for the best".
Scott agreed and viewers were left in tears at the emotional moment Farrah took him away.

After waking up from his coma, Scott confessed the reasons behind his suicide attempt.
Scott told Tony Hutchinson: "I'm worthless. I don't deserve to be here."
He then told Diane, who was insisting he should be discharged from hospital: "It wasn't a mistake. I've been unhappy, and I did mean to kill myself."
