May 2010 is a special episode of Hollyoaks which aired on Monday 21st December 2009.

It was the soap's first flashforward episode, showing us scenes from 5 months into the future as we see Calvin Valentine shot dead at his and Carmel's wedding reception. It provided a fresh take on the age-old "whodunnit?" trope, as the question instead became "who will do it?"

Synopsis

It's the day of Calvin and Carmel's second wedding, but the day suffers a terrible start - however, it is nothing compared to how the night will end.

Plot

Calvin and his friends leave Il Gnosh. The McQueen girls try on a tiara. Sasha is furious when Calvin shows up at The Loft. Jacqui reprimands Mercedes for being sarcastic about Carmel's wedding. Mercedes tells Jacqui about the affair. Carmel's wedding dress has shrunk in the washing machine. Jacqui orders Mercedes to keep quiet. Calvin receives a visit from Mercedes, who asks him not to marry Carmel. He throws Mercedes out when she reveals that she's told Jacqui.

Kris can't understand why Malachy is the best man. Carmel and Calvin meet at the altar. They quote “I Got You Babe” to each other. Jacqui hides a gun in her bag. Jake attends the reception but makes his animosity towards Calvin clear. Darren is seated with Tony and Cindy. Sasha enlists Lauren and Spencer as she vows payback. Malachy makes a speech. He subtly makes clear that he knows of the affair. When he returns home, he confronts Mercedes.

Lauren tells Spencer that he's the father of her baby. Zak snaps at Calvin when he apologises for Caleb. Calvin punches him and Michaela is incensed. Mercedes begs Malachy to hit her. He walks out on her. Carmel and Calvin have their first dance to “(I've Had) The Time of My Life”. Tony and Cindy make up after an incident with Holly. Calvin loses grip of Carmel when he lifts her during the dance and she falls. Jake comes face-to-face with Loretta. As Calvin tries lifting Carmel again, he is shot. Carmel screams and rushes over to him. She's inconsolable as Calvin is taken away in an ambulance.
