“I’m in.“ - Oliver Morgan

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (26th-30th April 2021)

There were difficult times for John Paul this week when he discovered that George had been murdered, and he was just as upset as he had been on the previous two occasions that news of George’s death had been shared with him. Having hit George shortly before his death, John Paul feared that he had been responsible and went to tell the police. John Paul told DS Cohen that George had been violent towards him and he had struck out in self defence, however, it was clear that his story was not being believed. DS Cohen later got the results of George’s post mortem back and they revealed that George had died from a blow to the head, likely coming from a missing book-end. Despite John Paul protesting his innocence, DS Cohen believed that he had killed George and charged him. 

Despite Verity warning him that he was too close to the case, James stepped up to represent John Paul, and advised him to plead guilty to manslaughter in the hope of receiving a reduced sentence. Meanwhile, Nancy decided to track down the real killer and she looked to have a made a breakthrough when she discovered that George’s ex, Dean, was back in town. Nancy asked to meet with Dean, planning to record a confession. Unfortunately, Dean realised what Nancy was up to, but not before admitting that he’d been in the village on the day of the murder...

Meanwhile, Cher also found herself in the firing line for the murder when a photo of her and George arguing turned up on social media, however, the police were quick to establish the photo as a fake. Although the police were satisfied that Cher wasn’t involved, Mercedes wasn’t so convinced, and questioned whether Cher could have been responsible, pointing out that she had killed before. Mercedes later apologised to Sylver for her remarks, telling him that she thought she may be pregnant and blamed her outburst on ‘baby brain’. Later, a pregnancy test proved that Mercedes wasn’t actually pregnant and, struggling to come to terms with the news, she took a look through Gabriel’s memory box. Sensing another opportunity to be a cow, Cher stole the memory box and planned to set fire to its contents, until a chat with Liberty gave her food for thought. Cher returned the box but proved that she wasn’t done with her vendetta against her step-mother as she proceeded to hide outside the pub and play sounds of a baby crying...

Elsewhere, Diane’s mental health continued to deteriorate this week and Tony was worried when he realised that she’d cancelled her scan, telling her husband she was worried about catching Covid whilst at the hospital. Maybe if the residents of Hollyoaks wore their masks correctly, there would be less Covid in the village? However, it was the electrics that were causing Diane serious worry and she called in an electrician to check things over. Despite the visit throwing up nothing of concern, Diane wasn’t convinced and attempted to climb a ladder to check on the chandelier. However, as Diane climbed, she suddenly blacked out and Tony was panic stricken when he returned to find Diane lying unconscious on the floor. 

In other news this week, Leah was amused to hear Sid singing a song about a mystery brunette whilst Cindy and Marnie were each convinced that had the ‘business woman of the year’ award in the bag. Finally, Shaq confessed that he was £50,000 in debt...
