Blackmail, Beatings, and Bad News...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (10th-14th May 2021)

Fergus found himself in big trouble this week when his blackmailer, Katja, demanded a large sum of money in exchange for her silence about his perverted ways. Of course, Fergus wasn’t about to pay up and so told Warren that he needed to get rid of Katja, otherwise they’d both go to prison for the laptop robbery. Later, Joel saw a scared looking Katja in the village and she admitted that she had information about a robbery. Joel encouraged Katja to go to the police, however, as Katja made the call, Joel realised with horror that she was reporting his dad and urged her to hang up. The following day, Katja went to see Fergus and told him that she was willing to forget about the robbery, but only if he paid her £1000 per month. Fergus agreed and went to share the news with a relieved Warren, who decided to celebrate by taking a couple of days off work to spend time with Maxine. Unfortunately for Warren, this angered Fergus, and he told Maxine about Warren’s role in her accident. Maxine was furious by the news and told Warren that she wanted nothing more to do with him, infuriating Trish, who believed that her daughter was throwing away her last chance of happiness. Going to see Warren, Trish told him that he was probably better off without Maxine, causing Warren to leap to his ex’s defence. Predictably, Maxine overheard everything, and was touched by how much she clearly meant to Warren. Maxine agreed to give Warren another chance on the condition that he severed all ties with Fergus...

Meanwhile, Cleo found herself in a difficult position at work when she suspected that a young patient, Tommy, was lying about how he sustained an injury. Suspecting that the boy’s step-dad, Adrian, had something to do with it, Cleo tried to get Tommy to open up, but, just as he started to speak, Adrian arrived and he and Tommy got ready to leave. Sensing that Tommy was in danger, Cleo chased after them and lied that Tommy was having to stay in overnight as a precaution. The following day, Tommy eventually admitted that his step-father had caused his injury, and Cleo shared the news with Toby, breaking every patient confidentiality rule in the book in the process. Unfortunately, Tommy wasn’t willing to be honest with the police, and Cleo and Toby were left angry when DS Cohen told them that, unless Tommy made a formal statement, there was little she could do. Toby, however, wasn’t about to let Adrian get away with anything and he and Cleo confronted him. As Adrian ranted about Tommy, Toby viscously attacked him, much to Cleo’s horror. The following day, word reached Cleo that Adrian had handed himself him, however, Cleo denied any knowledge of his injuries when DS Cohen questioned her...

Elsewhere, Misbah found a way to solve all of Shaq’s money worries when she found an antique statue in the attic. Knowing that the statue had belonged to Misbah’s late husband, Shaq felt terrible about it being sold, but soon changed his tune when he realised how much Misbah had been offered for it. Knowing he’d soon have the money he needed, Shaq excitedly shared the news with Fergus. As we know, it’s actually the Maalik’s house Fergus is interested in and, when no one was looking, Fergus knocked the statue to the floor. With their last hope at getting the money together lying smashed, Misbah decided to sell the house to Fergus, but insisted that Sami mustn’t find out. 

Yasmine was also keen to help solve Shaq’s money worries and decided to enter a journalism competition offering a cash prize. Yazz decided that Peri and Juliet would be the perfect interviewees but was left disappointed when they refused to be interviewed. Not be deterred, Yazz hatched a plan to get the answers she needed anyway, leaving Peri and Juliet angry when they realised they’d been tricked. When Yazz admitted why she needed the money, the pair agreed to be interviewed, but Juliet took offence to one of the questions and stormed off. Juliet was later seen receiving a text from an unknown individual, and her short temper over the days that followed left Peri fearing that Juliet was dealing again. By the end of the week, the pair had made up again and Peri was delighted when Juliet offered to move in. However, it looks like trouble could be on the horizon when Juliet confided in Sid that Donna-Marie had been trying to contact her.

In other news this week, Trish was furious when she discovered that Marco and his brother, Jacob, had stolen her list of clients, and threatened them with the police. However, she was forced to back down when they in turn threatened her with whatever dirt they have on her. The McQueen’s decided to get rid of George’s belongings and sold his iPad to Verity, who was horrified to discover that it contained a video that could incriminate John Paul in George’s murder. Finally, Martine won the Dee Valley Businesswoman of the Year award, but was later devastated when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Brooke, Celeste, Cleo, DS Cohen, Felix, Fergus, Goldie, Grace, Imran, Joel, Juliet, Liberty, Martine, Maxine, Misbah, Nana McQueen, Peri, Sally, Sami, Shaq, Sid, Sienna, Theresa, Toby, Trish, Verity, Walter, Warren and Yasmine.

damon - i used to despise him but now he’s alright ig. not much personality, but him and lib are so sweet together. did a complete switch with him and brody. rating: 6/10

[robronotics]

Okay, so I’m guessing the Love Letter to Tom is because he’s one of the original kids on the show, but some of the people who did the video for Yazz felt weird. I just can’t see people like James or Warren much caring?

Also, with all these people coming back, I’m going to sit here and cross my fingers, hope against hope, that we get a Brendan sighting. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

Secret Missions...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (25th-29th January 2021)

Jordan may be dead and Juliet may be behind bars, but Hollyoaks are far from done with the county lines story, as more drugs based drama hit the village this week. As the week began, Tom encouraged Ollie to speak to a counsellor in order to try and kick his habit, and even persuaded Brooke to attend in support. There was relief all round when Ollie attended the session and seemed much brighter, but things soon went wrong when he asked Brooke out to dinner, and realised that she was dating Imran.  In order to try and help his son, Luke suggested they go for a kick about but then failed to turn up. The double rejection sent Ollie right back to square one and he was later spotted stealing tips from The Dog and money from Mandy’s purse in order to fund his habit. With the money sorted out, all Ollie needed was a dealer, and he went to the Lomax’s to ask Sid, who had just attended Jordan’s funeral, if he had any contacts. Sid was horrified by Ollie’s cheek and refused to give any names, but when Sid’s back was turned, Ollie did a runner with Jordan’s phone...

Meanwhile, Yasmine was working on an article about the county lines gangs and was snooping for information regarding Jordan’s murder. Mandy’s insistence that she mind her own business clearly had no affect and Yasmine later ambushed Ella for information, causing Mandy to lose her temper with her new sister-in-law. With Ella clearly struggling with the weight of her secret, Luke encouraged Mandy to go the police, pointing out that it was probably the kindest thing to do for Ella in the longterm. Realising that she couldn’t allow her daughter to suffer, Mandy reluctantly agreed. However, Mandy later spotted Ollie thieving and, realising that she had the perfect blackmailing material, told Luke that she would report Ollie if he didn’t stop hassling her about Ella...

Things soon got a whole lot worse for Ella when Victor returned to the village, having been contacted by Ollie via Jordan’s phone. Victor approached a terrified Ella and asked her if she knew anything about the text and Ella, having misunderstood, ended up confessing that she had killed Jordan. Clearly impressed, Victor told Ella that she would have to do everything he asked of her from now on. The following day, Ella prepared to return to school, but suffered a panic attack before going in. Luckily, Ste, who had arrived on a cleaning job, was on hand to help, and he offered to take Ella home once she had calmed down. In the village, the pair bumped into Sid, who volunteered to take Ella home whilst Ste went back to work. Sid could see that something was bothering Ella and reminded her that she could always talk to him, prompting Ella to open her bag and reveal drugs that Victor had given her to sell...

Sickened by what Victor had done, Sid went to see him and offered to take Ella’s place. However, his intentions weren’t quite as they first appeared, as Sid decided that the aim of his new role would be to bring Victor down from the inside. After a quick test to check that Sid was serious and trustworthy, Victor agreed, and gave Sid until the end of the following day to shift the drugs. However, Sid's first day as a dealer didn’t go to plan when Ollie failed to pay him and Ste informed him that he would have to attend a hospital appointment the following day to get his permanent prosthetic fitted...

Elsewhere, Dr Ley arrived in the village on her mission to ‘fix’ Toby, and asked Celeste to find them somewhere to work where they wouldn’t be disturbed. With Grace having to close The Loft due to an electrical fault, Celeste seized the opportunity and handed the keys to Dr Ley, telling Grace that Felix would fix the electrics over the next few days. Toby was understandably furious when he came face-to-face with Dr Ley, but eventually agreed to speak with her when she advised that she only wanted to help. However, Dr Ley’s sinister intentions were soon revealed she was seen making a phone call regarding the sequel to ‘The Red Door’.  The following day, Dr Ley got to work and Toby became angry with her continual questioning, especially when she brought up his feelings for Cleo. By the end of the first session, Dr Ley concluded that Toby was incapable of felling or being loved and told him the sooner he accepted it, the sooner he would feel better. 

Also this week, Ste and James grew closer as they looked for ways to get Juliet off the drugs charges, whilst Verity felt bad about misleading Sami about ‘her pregnancy’ when he spoke about Ellie’s miscarriage and how much he’d enjoyed being a step-father to Hannah. It was a tough week for Summer when she was given bad news about Cormac’s condition, and Sienna took every opportunity to goad her about Brody. However, Summer soon got her own back when she posted photos of Sienna and Warren kissing through Brody’s letterbox. Finally, whilst Theresa was keen to make amends with her family, Seth tried to convince her to leave the village with him, telling her that her family would never forgive her for what she’d done.

5 Things We Learned This Week:

1. Hollyoaks High really will give a job to anyone. Of course, we already new this given that kiddie snatcher, Sienna, is now working as a teacher but this week saw Sally employ former racist, Ste, to clean the place. Yes, one man and his mop and bucket are going to clean a whole school! 

2. Being scammed is no big deal. Just weeks ago, Darren and Mandy were panicking about their financial situation after Kurt scammed them. So why was Darren talking about going to spoil Ella at the shops this week?

3. Being groomed by the far right has its advantages! You can use some of their techniques to hook in unsuspecting teenage drugs pushers who will hopefully get your latest conquest’s sister off a drugs charge!

4. Marnie reckons that the police will care about the McQueen’s setting up a stall outside the Patisserie. Marnie, they’re not even interested in genuine crime! 

5. Liberty’s thought of a fantastic engagement party game: wedding bingo: featuring photos and phrases of happy couple, Brody and Sienna. She might like to include pictures of the time Sienna faked a pregnancy. Or when she kidnapped Tom, Charlie and Oscar. Or when she tied her twin Brother to a radiator and demanded he marry her. 

This Week’s Cast:

Brooke, Brody, Celeste, Cindy, Cleo, Courtney, Darren, Diane, Ella, Felix, Goldie, Grace, Imran, James, Joel, Liberty, Luke, Mandy, Marnie, Martine, Misbah, Nana McQueen, Oliver, Peri, Ripley, Romeo, Sami, Sally, Seth, Sid, Sienna, Ste, Summer, Sylver, Theresa, Toby, Tom, Tony, Victor, Verity, Yasmine and Warren.

Blasts From The Past:

Jonny Baxter, Silas Blissett, Hannah Hay, Jacqui McQueen, Kathleen Angel McQueen, Ellie Nightingale, Jordan Price, Donna Marie Quinn, Buster Smith, Stuart Sumner.
