Tensions reach a boiling point in Hollyoaks next week as Jez Blake turns deadly when Ste Hay accuses him of m.u.r.d.e.r. With Ste determined to uncover the truth about his missing cat Fernando, he unknowingly puts himself in grave danger—because Jez has no intention of letting him walk away with what he knows.
Ste’s Shocking Discovery
For weeks, Ste has been caring for stray cat Fernando, feeding him leftovers from The Hutch. But when Fernando mysteriously vanishes, Ste grows suspicious and starts investigating his disappearance.
Jez’s name soon surfaces as a potential suspect, and Ste’s curiosity leads him to Jez’s allotment, where he notices a patch of freshly dug soil. What he finds buried there is far worse than he imagined—Abe Fielding’s watch.
As viewers know, Abe was m.u.r.d.e.r.e.d by Jez, who has been hiding his dark secret in plain sight. Ste’s discovery sets off a chain reaction, with Cleo McQueen also becoming suspicious after learning about the watch. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Cleo decides to speak with Martha in search of more answers.
Jez’s Deadly Revenge Plan
Unaware of just how dangerous Jez truly is, Ste confidently tells John Paul McQueen that he believes Jez killed Fernando. But what Ste doesn’t realize is that he has now made himself a target.
Jez, furious at being accused of m.u.r.d.e.r, starts to plot his next move. Knowing that Ste is getting dangerously close to the truth, he sees only one way to silence him for good.
Will Ste realize the danger he’s in before it’s too late? Or will Jez strike again to keep his deadly secrets buried? One thing’s for sure—this is a fight for survival, and Ste may not be ready for what’s coming.
