Closing Shadows A Hollyoaks one shot written about Carmel McQueen after her tanning machine accident -

She's lying there thinking...
That's all she's been doing. She's had an eventful life,
She got married to a man who cheated on her with two of her sisters.
She is now a widow at 25 but Carmel is strong and has a family who cares about her, even thought with her mum in prison and her sisters now always there she's still managed to pull herself up.

When she stood on the edge, she was feeling like she hit a closed was crying through the whole thing, was Carmel. She felt she had nothing left but her looks but thanks to Michaela's tanning machine she feels like she has nothing. She's wrong though.

When she heard Lynsey behind her, she listened to her. She didnt think she was strong enough to cope with her life ahead as she was told the scarring would be perminent. But Lynsey reminded her of whats she capable off acheiving. She came back off the edge with Lynsey and back to her ward were her sisters were waiting for her and thats when she knew everything would be ok, because despite the seriousness of her injuries she had the best family and was strong enough to get through this.

After all, she is a McQueen.
