Spoiler: Cleo McQueen Takes Advantage of Sienna Blake’s Feelings to Carry Out a Dark Secret
Just when Hollyoaks fans thought the drama couldn’t get any more intense, Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) has seemingly found a new way to manipulate the situation to her advantage—using Sienna Blake’s (Anna Passey) growing feelings for her to keep a dark secret buried.
A Bond Born from Trauma
After enduring the horrors of Abe Fielding’s (Tyler Conti) torment, Cleo and Sienna formed an unexpected bond. Their shared pain, their fight for justice, and the emotional turmoil of their pasts all led to an intimate moment between them—a kiss that neither of them saw coming.
For Sienna, this moment may have been born out of comfort and raw emotion, but for Cleo, it seems to be part of a much bigger plan.
Cleo’s True Intentions Revealed
While Sienna was the voice of reason, trying to stop Cleo from taking revenge on Abe, it turns out Cleo might not be done with her mission just yet. With Abe now dead—murdered by Jez (Jeremy Sheffield) and his body conveniently disposed of—Cleo finds herself with a new problem: covering up any loose ends.
Realizing that Sienna has become emotionally invested in her, Cleo seizes the opportunity to use Sienna’s affection to her advantage. She confides in Sienna, making her feel needed and trusted, while subtly ensuring that she keeps her silence.
By playing into Sienna’s feelings, Cleo ensures that Sienna won’t speak out about what really happened to Abe, especially now that Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) has been framed for his murder.
A Dangerous Game
But how far is Cleo willing to go to protect herself? Will she continue to manipulate Sienna’s emotions, or will Sienna eventually see through the deception?
And if Sienna does discover the truth, will she stay loyal to Cleo—or will she do what she’s always done best: fight for justice, no matter the cost?
As the lines between love, manipulation, and survival blur, Hollyoaks fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions in the weeks to come. One thing is certain: Cleo McQueen is not someone to be underestimated.
