Hollyoaks lines up another intense and dramatic week, as confirmed in our new spoilers, with the whereabouts of a number of favourites sparking concern while a killer gets set to strike again.
Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) and Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith) have vanished without a trace, leaving Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) incredibly worried – especially after he makes a discovery.
Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield), meanwhile, prepares to commit murder once again as Tommy Odenkirk (Brandon Fellows) orders him to kill Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed).
Be afraid Joel, be very afraid!
Elsewhere, Lucas Hay’s (Oscar Curtis) health is the subject of much concern and Nancy (Jessica Fox) contemplates her future with Darren after finding out that she’s pregnant!
For the lowdown on all the above and so much more, we’ve got you covered.
Monday May 19
Joel is hopeful of a reunion with Leela after she admits that she’s struggling with Clara on her own. Their sudden closeness frustrates Tommy, who tasks Jez with killing Leela once and for all.
Jez doesn’t take him too seriously at first – that is, until Tommy makes reference to his alter-ego The Reaper.
Joel, meanwhile, arrives at Tommy’s to find Jez snooping. The killer is quick to divert his attention, revealing all about Tommy’s mission to get Leela out of the way – including the fact that he leaked the video of her!
Over at Basswood Road, Nancy hides a positive pregnancy test. Later, she confides in Mercedes, revealing that she must’ve fallen pregnant after her reconciliation with Darren, which she regretted immediately.
Nancy reiterates that she doesn’t want this baby. Mercedes urges her to be honest with Darren, which leaves Nance with food for thought about what she wants her future to look like.
The tension is aplenty for the Osbornes during the episode in question, with Oscar worried about Frankie’s whereabouts ahead of his surgery.
He’s not alone in that respect, with Darren also concerned about Frankie – especially after he comes to realise that she’s left her passport behind.
He mentions this to Rex and Dodger, who are both left suspicious about where Frankie could be. Dodger offers Rex immunity if he exposes DI Banks.
Rex, meanwhile, confronts Grace on the issue of missing Frankie and Dillon. As he pleads with her to get the teens to safety, Grace unexpectedly breaks down, denying that she knows where Frankie and Dillon are. The gangster says that she’s in too deep and that she and Curtis would be in serious danger if she went to the police.
In the remote location where he’s being held captive, Robbie hears Vicky’s voice and calls out.
Tuesday May 20
Armed with his discoveries about Tommy, Joel urges Jez to accompany him to the police station so that they can report the fake therapist. In a bid to avoid police involvement, Jez instead invites Joel for a drink at The Loft, where the former priest ends up taking drugs.
Tommy pays Jez another visit – though this time he’s dressed as The Reaper – as he reminds the killer that time is running out to murder Joel. If Jez fails to do as he’s told then Tommy will spill the beans about him being a serial killer.
Leela later spots Joel outside The Loft and, realising he’s on drugs, she tells him that she vowed never to be with him again if he relapsed. Joel struggles to process this and, given that he’s unable to spot the danger due to the drugs, killer Jez closes in.
Nancy reckons that Darren, who is worried sick about Frankie, isn’t being present enough for Oscar as they argue across their son’s bedside.
Darren pays Donny a visit, hoping for answers. Donny, however, won’t engage.
There is another big shock in store for the Osbornes as a bruised and injured Kat arrives on their doorstep. Darren and Nancy persuade her to stay the night, with Nancy putting aside her issues with her to get to the bottom of what’s happened to Frankie.
Despite her reservations, Kat subsequently starts talking.
Vicky apologises to Robbie through the walls, stating that she still loves him, asking if they can start again – that is, if they get out.
Wednesday May 21
Dodger comes closer to exposing DI Banks with the help of a search warrant, informing Donny that they are just days away from getting the evidence they need.
Kat confesses to Darren and Nancy that she deliberately cut Frankie off from her family in a bid to leave her vulnerable.
Marie reminds Leela that Joel is a recovering addict and that he needs their support. Her words leave Leela with food for thought and thus she and Marie go to look for him.
Lucas has not slept ahead of his pre operation consultation which leaves Ste concerned, fearing that his beloved son isn’t looking after himself at a time when he ought to be.
Lucas, however, is more preoccupied with his relationship with Dillon, which is up in the air. Ste therefore tells Lucas that, if he doesn’t get better, then he won’t be able to make things right with Dillon.
Will Lucas listen to his dad’s advice?
