Just when the residents of Hollyoaks thought they were finally rid of Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti), the sinister villain had one final act up his sleeve—one that left the village shaken to its core.
A Final Threat Before the End
After months of tormenting Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) and manipulating Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell), Abe’s reign of terror seemed to be coming to an end. He had been captured and tied up by Cleo in the very room where he once held her hostage. But even in chains, Abe refused to give up, launching a final attack on Cleo in a desperate bid for control.
His arrogance was short-lived, though, as Jeremy “Jez” Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) decided to take matters into his own hands. Under the pretense of setting Abe free, Jez lured him into the woods. Abe, ever the manipulator, believed he had outwitted his captors once again—mocking them as he prepared to walk away.
But Jez had no intention of letting him go. With a chilling smirk, he grabbed Abe and s.t.r.a.n.g.l.e.d him to d.e.a.t.h, leaving his lifeless body in the middle of the forest.
The Fallout of Abe’s Final Move
What should have been the end of a nightmare quickly spiraled into an even darker mess. Unbeknownst to everyone, before his d.e.a.t.h, Abe had one last trick prepared—evidence.
Rumors began to swirl that Abe had left behind a recording, one that could expose multiple secrets, including Cleo and Sienna Blake’s (Anna Passey) involvement in his c.a.p.t.u.r.e and t.o.r.t.u.r.e. The fear that this evidence could resurface has left Cleo, Sienna, and even Jez in a state of panic.
But the chaos didn’t stop there. Seeing an opportunity, Grace Black (Tamara Wall) made a shocking move. Instead of covering up the m.u.r.d.e.r, she framed Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) for the crime—seizing the moment to get revenge on her longtime rival.
A Town in Fear
With Abe d.e.a.d but his presence still haunting those he t.o.r.m.e.n.t.e.d, Hollyoaks is far from at peace. Will the villagers ever feel safe again? And more importantly—will Abe’s final move from beyond the grave destroy the lives of those who fought so hard to take him down?
One thing is for sure: the nightmare isn’t over yet.
