Sienna (Anna Passey) has already voiced her concerns over Laurie’s (Kyle Pryor) behaviour in Hollyoaks after he held on to her waist for a little too long during a conversation last week.
Thinking she had taken things out of proportion, Sienna has been continuing to work alongside deputy-head Laurie on the Channel 4 soap.
However next week, her suspicions about Laurie’s motives towards her are raised when she wobbles on a ladder with the teacher coming to her rescue by steadying her.
With their previous interaction playing on her mind, Sienna will have further concerns when Laurie asks her for some drinks.

Feeling as if Laurie is being inappropriate towards her, Sienna declines Laurie’s offer of a date telling him it’s wrong as he has a wife, Sinead O’Connor (Stephanie Davis).

Is Sienna right to be cautious as the harassment storyline is set to continue on the soap in the coming weeks and months?
Viewers will know Laurie was forced to leave his previous position as a teacher away from Chester as a colleague admitted he had been inappropriate towards her.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the dark plot, Sienna actress Anna Passey, 34, explained the reasoning behind Hollyoaks covering the issue of harassment.
“The power in the story is finding the doubt in it - exploring the middle section where people aren't sure.”
