TENSION is brimming within the McQueen family when Goldie tries to make Bobby Costello face comeuppance.
But the youngster could be far more dangerous than she ever expected. Get the lowdown on all the upcoming Hollyoaks drama.
Goldie is on to Bobby Costello
But could he be one step ahead of her?
1. Goldie is on a mission
It’s no secret that Bobby Costello (portrayed by Jayden Fox) has inherited some traits from serial killer Silas Blissett.
The eleven-year old boy even managed to put an end to the latter’s reign of terror in previous scenes of the Channel 4 soap.
But is he on the path to become the village’s most ruthless and feared villain?
Goldie McQueen (Chelsee Healey) will slowly realise that could be the case.
This week, Bobby returns to Hollyoaks after a stay in Alicante and the McQueen family are ready to celebrate.
But Goldie gives the lad a frosty welcome as she’s on a mission to gt a confession out of him for Sylver’s death.
Bobby is a step ahead of her when he overhears she has a plan to get him behind bars and the pair get into a tense confrontation.
The youngster ends the conversation with a sinister threat… all the while ironically donning his angel nativity costume.
Goldie makes enemies within her own family
2. The McQueens are torn apart
But as she tries to take Bobby down after realising he was involved in Sylver’s death, Goldie is faced with a wall.
Bobby’s mother Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) is the first to stand by his side.
Nobody believes Goldie when she warns them about Bobby and he even doubles down by threatening her a second time.
To make matters worse for Goldie, Mercedes finds out that Silas’ book was never burned.
Goldie is threatened a third time – if the book is not returned by the end of the day, she will be disowned altogether.
What will Goldie do?
Can Eric Foster change his ways?
3. Eric struggles to change
While Goldie seems unable to catch a break, Eric Foster (Angus Castle-Doughty) finds it difficult to turn away from his radically misogynistic tendencies.
This week, Eric struggles to put the online forum behind him – and his old habits return when he helps Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kauer) access the site.
Eric’s sister Verity Hutchinson (Eva O’Hara) is quickly on to him, catching him on his phone, and realises he lied to her.
She reads the hateful messages aloud and warns Mason that she will in touch with his parents if she ever finds him in Eric’s company again.
This leaves Verity with food for though as she wonders whether prison could be the best thing for her brother but Eric begs her not to give up on him.
He later admits that the forum members are all the friends he has but she assures him people will love him if only he could let his guard down.
Verity takes things further by grabbing his phone and writing a comment on the website, telling them she’s his sister and Eric won’t be logging back on again.
She then opens a link regarding Maxine Minniver and is shocked by what she finds.
Mason lets Eric know that Verity hacked his account on the forum.
Eric hides from Tony Hutchinson while on a mission to retrieve his phone.
Upon realising what Verity must have seen, he reassures the men on the forum, vowing to silence his own sister.
Will Eric strike again?
Verity is in danger this week
4. Verity is brutally attacked
Could Verity pay the price of getting involved in her brother’s affairs?
Danger is clearly looming for her this week.
Shocked by what she found about Maxine, she desperately tries to call her while at Dee Valley Law.
But before she can get through to her friend, an unknown person attacks her.
Hollyoaks residents are oblivious to her potentially life-threatening situation as the Christmas lights switch on is well underway.
Counsellor Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) makes a heartfelt speech… but his face drops when he sees Verity stumble into the village.
Shaq is ready to commit to Verity
5. Shaq plans his proposal
After his failed marriage with Nadira Valli, Shaq Qureshi (Omar Malik) is ready to tie the knot with Verity, unaware her life could be in danger.
Nadira (Ashling O’Shea) helps him plan a romantic proposal for Verity at the park.
Unfortunately, a Christmas aerobics class forces them to change locations.
Donna-Marie Quinn eventually agrees to help by letting him do it at the gym.
But will Shaq ever really get the chance to propose?
Another villager is leaving Hollyoaks
6. Theresa makes a decision
Actress Jorgie Porter is leaving Hollyoaks to go on maternity leave and her exit scenes air this week.
Coming up, Theresa McQueen tells Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) that she’ll leave the village since nothing has been going well since her return.
The couple share a heart-breaking goodbye.
Will Theresa ever come back?
Mason’s behaviour remains problematic
7. Mason continues to spiral
Meanwhile, Mason Chen-Williams continues to cause concern in the village as Eric’s influence remains.
His mother Honour (Vera Chok) worries about him as he’s clearly not getting better.
In an attempt to lift his spirits, she arranges a drawing game with the family but Mason refuses to be involved.
He’s later told they miss their child who loves magic but he snaps at them, calling himself a “nerdy Chinese kid.”
Honour doesn’t give up and tries to connect Mason with her side of the family.
However, she unintentionally invites them all to the village.
How will the family reunion pan out?
Hollyoaks airs on Channel 4 and E4.
