Hollyoaks spoilers for next week have confirmed that Brent (Jesse Fox) couldn’t have possibly killed Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan), with Phoenix Hathaway (Tylan Grant) having proof to clear his name.
Rayne, was fans will recall, was tragically murdered during a lavish mansion party which was intended to help save her tanking career.
The celebrations, however, were cut short when her lies and abuse was exposed, with one party-goer taking shocking revenge. Fingers have naturally been pointed in the aftermath, with Brent prime suspect in the investigation.
But despite him kidnapping her, Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) has repeatedly leapt to Brent’s defence, urging her fellow villagers to trust her word when she says that he simply isn’t capable of murder.
Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) wasn’t so sure, nor was James (Gregory Finnegan), with the latter having Brent beaten up in prison in order to convince him to confess to the murder, with the lawyer hoping to exonerate his son.
But this twisted tale takes yet another turn later this week, with Friday’s (October 13) edition of the Channel 4 soap seeing Brent more or less cleared of the crime.
Romeo organises a memorial for his late girlfriend Rayne, with his friends offering their support in helping him arrange it.
Peri picks up a portrait of Rayne, which Romeo subsequently destroys in heated scenes, with his behaviour leaving Phoenix scared.
Determined to make things right, Romeo issues an apology to Phoenix, who later speaks out and confesses that he knows for sure that Brent couldn’t have killed Rayne.
But just what information does Phoenix have?
That remains to be seen, but Romeo is enraged, determined to ensure Brent goes to prison, even if the charge is for kidnapping Peri, with a row ensuing between he and Brent, which is witnessed by Rayne’s fans.
Here's how to watch Hollyoaks after the schedule change
Hollyoaks has a brand new schedule to better reflect viewing habits of TV audiences today.
The show will no longer air on Channel 4. Instead, viewers can get their daily fix on the station’s online platform, formerly known as 4OD and All4, weeknights at 7:30pm on Channel 4 streaming.
If streaming isn’t your thing or maybe you simply prefer to watch on TV then you can catch the show weeknights at 7pm on E4.
Rayne’s memorial takes place later in the week, with the day in question proving difficult for Romeo, who lashes out, with his outburst caught on the livestream.
Brent, meanwhile, overhears a conversation between Peri and Romeo and jumps to the wrong conclusion, with things turning physical.
Yazz Maalik (Haiesha Mistry) is forced to break up a fight between Romeo and Brent, but not everything is as it seems, with video evidence that was live-streamed proof that Brent purposely set things up to make it look like Romeo was attacking him.
Will Romeo retaliate?
One to watch: Friday October 13 from 7:30pm on Channel 4 streaming or Monday October 16 at 7pm on E4.
