There are big shocks in store for the residents of Hollyoaks as twists are aplenty, as confirmed in my brand new spoilers, in what promises to be yet another must-see week.
The Channel 4 soap has been delivering the drama with a capital D over the past few months and next week is set to be another big one, with bombshells, returns and disappearances on the cards.
Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) is set to have his heart broken once again by boyfriend Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass), who cheats on him after relapsing.
The situation proves upsetting for Lucas, who has been struggling with his anger over the past few weeks, as he lashes out.
Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson), meanwhile, pays Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) a visit behind bars, Bobby Costello’s (Zak Sutcliffe) whereabouts is up in the air after that twist and Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith) bravely reveals her feelings for Jacob Omari (Ethaniel Davy).
With this week’s offerings of Hollyoaks at an end, you might find yourself to know everything there is to know about what’s coming up and if that is the case then I’m your guy, with a first look at all of next week’s drama (well most of it, I’m not giving everything away!).
Monday June 30
Dillon receives a message, which Lucas sees first, confirming the teen’s STI results are clear. When Lucas tries to get intimate, Dillon gives him the cold shoulder and heads off.
He joins Frankie and Vicky, who are having drinks in the backyard of 67 Christleton Terrace. Frankie is upset, believing that Jacob is ghosting her – that is, until he turns up at the gate. Delighted, Frankie invites him in.
Vicky, meanwhile, tells Frankie that she wants to move forward and forget about Grace and Robbie.
However, she soon gets drunk and blurts out that she stole Clare’s money and gave it to Robbie, admitting that she was also the one who attacked Grace.
Worried about her, Dillon and Frankie take Vicky back inside.
In the wake of the previous week’s events, Bobby is missing. Myra is determined to make things right with Mercedes, claiming she was only speaking to Donny over the garden fence and didn’t think about any repercussions.
The question is: just what is she supposed to have done?
Elsewhere, Tony is disheartened in the wake of Diane and Marie’s showdown as he chats to Darren, who checks in on the building work at The Dog. Tony’s attention is soon elsewhere when he puts two and two together, realising Bobby was being harboured by Mercedes in the pub.
Enraged, Tone confronts Mercedes, who begs him not to go to the police.
Over at the hospital, Clare visits Grace – who is still unconscious – and fills her sister in on all the devilish details of her new plan. It also becomes apparent that the schemer hasn’t forgotten about how Mercedes ran her down and thus revenge is on her mind.
Tuesday July 1
Dillon is spooked when Donny shares his theory on Rex being innocent in the investigation into who shot DI Banks. When the detective is distracted, Dillon steals the police report, which confirms the direction from which the bullet that claimed the dodgy copper’s life came from.
Ergo, Dillon realises who shot the bullet in question!
Ste, meanwhile, also learns that Donny reckons Rex is innocent, whichfrustrates Lucas, who wishes his dad would forget all about Rex after what he did to Dillon.
Speaking of Dillon, the teen relapses. Lucas later walks in on his boyfriend sleeping with a girl and to make matters worse, Dillon refers to the young chef as his ‘ex’.
Is this the end of HayRay?
And as for Ste, he manages to pay Rex a visit in prison. But will he get to the truth?
Darren, meanwhile, finds Jacob on the sofa and he’s livid – that is until Frankie fills him in on the situation, with the patriarch subsequently apologising for his earlier reaction.
The teens tease Jacob and Frankie over their evident interest in one another. Once alone, Frankie bravely reveals her feelings for Jacob.
Will he feel the same? That remains to be seen as the boy receives a text message, which leads to him dashing off.
Interest piqued, Frankie gives chase, finding Jacob at a caravan. He states that he is living there and, worried, Frankie promises to bring him supplies.
Tony is saddened to learn that Diane has a date planned.
Wednesday July 2
Ste returns home to find Lucas absolutely heartbroken in light of what he’s just witnessed. Taking control of the situation, Ste puts Dillon to bed and proceeds to comfort his son, who is unable to stay at the flat.
As Ste attempts to support Dillon through his relapse, Lucas subsequently receives a message from his boyfriend, who says he’s too messed up and that Lucas deserves better.
Unable to process all the trauma, Lucas begins to attack himself. Horrified, Ste intervenes, telling his son to take it out on him instead.
In shock scenes, Lucas brutally attacks his dad.
Misbah, meanwhile, encourages Vicky to move on. Vicky then comforts Dillon, unaware that he knows who killed Banks.
