Hollyoaks has threatened to expose Bobby Costello’s killer in upcoming scenes as his dramatic funeral turns into chaos.
Mercedes’ son Bobby was tragically killed by serial killer Jez Blake last month in an attempt to silence the troubled youngster, who knew the truth about Jez.
After a cat-and-mouse chase between the killer and Bobby, Jez tracked down Bobby who had fallen in the road after trying to get away. On the road, Jez delivered a fatal blow with a rock.
In a twist of fate, Tony, who was also in pursuit of Bobby, sped down the road and swerved to avoid Bobby’s broken down taxi, appearing to hit Bobby with his car.
Since then, Tony has been under the impression that he was responsible for Bobby’s death, unaware that he was already dead.
In this week’s episodes, Tony and Diane go to great lengths to hide the evidence, getting the car they think they hit Bobby with destroyed.
In scenes set to air next week, The McQueens prepare for Bobby’s funeral, which is being livestreamed to those unable to attend, with half of the village tuning in.
At The Dog, John Paul, who recently relapsed after the breakdown of his relationship with Jez, is trying to get served but Diane and Tony refuse, not wanting to encourage his drinking.
A heartbroken Mercedes gives Tony a fright when she bursts into the pub, believing she knows who killed Bobby and John Paul recalls a flashback.
Wanting support on the day of her son’s funeral, Mercedes asks Tony to go with her to the service, and he obliges.
At the funeral, an emotional Mercedes stands in front of a handful of friends and family and shares some words about Bobby.
A confrontation at the funeral is livestreamed to the village, leaving one resident feeling rather smug.
