In a shocking turn of events, Hollyoaks is set to reveal a harrowing truth for Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) as she discovers she was a victim of Abe’s disturbing actions. What started as an investigation into Cleo’s kidnapping takes a devastating twist when Leela stumbles upon evidence that changes everything.
Abe Under Investigation
Detective Donny (Ben Hull) has arrested Abe (Tyler Conti) and brought him in for questioning regarding Cleo’s (Nadine Mulkerrin) disappearance. While the police strongly suspect Abe of being involved in her captivity, he fiercely denies the accusations. Instead, he claims that Cleo forced him to protect her as she was hiding following Suzanne’s tragic d.e.a.t.h.
However, things take a sinister turn when Donny presents Cleo with a disturbing video Abe handed over to the authorities. The footage, captured during the period she was held captive, shows an intimate encounter between them. Shocked and horrified, Cleo struggles to process the revelation.
Leela’s Heartbreaking Discovery
Meanwhile, Peri (Ruby O’Donnell), Leela, and Joel (Rory Douglas-Speed) frantically scour the internet to see if Abe has leaked the video of him and Cleo. To their horror, they find out that he has, and even worse—he has also posted another disturbing video featuring Peri.
As the others continue their search, Leela is left alone when she notices a thumbnail that stops her cold. It’s a video of herself in the woods. Confused and shaken, she clicks on it, only to be confronted with an unimaginable truth—she had been assaulted by Abe without even realizing it.
The realization sends shockwaves through Leela, as repressed memories begin flooding back. She is overwhelmed with disgust and anguish, unable to comprehend how she blocked out such a horrific experience.
The Aftermath and Fallout
Leela’s revelation will have massive repercussions, not just for herself but for those around her. With Cleo and Peri also victims of Abe’s abuse, the Lomax family is about to face one of their most challenging battles yet.
As Leela processes the trauma, she must decide whether she has the strength to fight back against Abe. Will she come forward with her story? And will Cleo, Peri, and Leela unite to take down the man who has caused them so much pain?
What’s Next for Hollyoaks?
Elsewhere in the village, other dramatic events unfold. Grace (Tamara Wall) is terrified when she receives a funeral wreath with her name on it, sparking fear that someone is out to get her. Meanwhile, Vicky (Anya Lawrence) and Robbie (Charlie J. Tighe) finally announce their baby news to the family, though secrets still linger between them.
As for Abe, it’s clear that his dark secrets are finally coming to light. With mounting evidence against him, his reign of terror may soon come to an end—but will justice truly be served?
