Fans furious – As Hollyoaks confirms Jez Blake’s next victim
Hollyoaks aired devastating scenes during Tuesday's first-look episode which saw Jez Blake kill Dilly Harcourt after she threatened to report Sienna to the police
Hollyoaks fans think they’ve figured out Jez Blake’s next target after he murdered Dilly Harcourt.
In the Channel 4 soap’s latest cliffhanger on Tuesday (January 14), now ready for streaming, it emerged that Jez (Jeremy Sheffield) had eliminated Dilly to prevent her from snitching on Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) to the coppers.
The twist came after Zoe Anderson (interpreted by Garcia Brown) discovered Dilly’s (Emma Johnsey-Smith) secret affair with Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer), while Sienna unwittingly confessed to icing Ethan Williams (Matthew James-Bailey) on their big day.
A gobsmacked Dilly opted for a one-way ticket outta town, but not before spilling the beans to Jez about Sienna’s slip-up, clueless to his prior knowledge and coverup effort.
Jez, driven to darkness, cornered her and did the deadly deed with apron strings. Amid rumours of Jez turning into the newest serial villain, fans are all over X, previously known as Twitter, laying down their bets.
One user posted: “Need ppl to stop saying Jez is gonna kill John Paul bc I can not handle that actually.” Another cautioned: “John Paul better watch out.”, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Someone else advised: “Run my John Paul, Run! ” Yet another said prophetically: “Mark my word Prince is next. He’ll go looking for Dilly, get suspicious of Jez and that’ll be it.”
In the forthcoming episodes, Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) expresses her concern over her sudden disappearance, while Prince is determined to involve the police if they don’t hear from her soon.
On the other hand, Sienna is keen on finding her twin brother Dodger Savage (Danny Mac), but Jez advises against it, considering she is already preoccupied with searching for Dilly
Prince finds it hard to believe that Dilly has abruptly left the village and confesses their mutual love for each other. He confides in Sienna about his suspicion regarding Dilly’s disappearance and vows not to rest until he uncovers the truth.
