Another Hollyoaks exit confirmed as major character murdered in cold blood
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Monday’s (January 13) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm.
Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) met a tragic end in Hollyoaks following a confrontation with villainous Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield).
The much-loved character, as viewers know, had been seeing ex Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) in secret.
Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) found out about such a thing this week and urged her to break things off, reiterating that Prince is marrying Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown).
A row ensued between the two siblings, with Dilly making it quite clear that she still believes Sienna killed Ethan Williams (Matthew James Bailey).
In the heat of the moment, Sienna confirmed such a thing, leaving Dilly devastated.
Sienna regretted her admission and swiftly tried to make things right but Dilly was intent on packing up and moving on to start a new life with Prince, who had confessed to Zoe about his affair with Dilly.
Back at the flat, Jez was keen to know why Dilly was leaving, prompting her to reveal that she knows all about how Ethan was killed by Sienna.
Jez’s reaction led her to realise that he knew all along and things became incredibly sinister, with Jez having a book – which he called his ‘collection’.
Dilly took one look and feared for her life, making a beeline to the door but Jez locked her in, with subsequent scenes implying that he took her life to prevent Sienna from going to jail.
Despite being popular with fans of the show, the scenes in question serve as Dilly’s exit, with the character having tragically been killed off.
Viewers will no doubt be wondering how Jez will cover this one up and he will certainly have some explaining to do, with Sienna arriving home in the subsequent episode to see what he’s done.
The former high school teacher bursts into tears, horrified to learn of what has happened to her nemesis-turned-sister-turned-cousin.
Will Sienna force Jez to come clean? Or will she cover for him, much like he did when he found out that she killed Ethan?
Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 7am on Channel 4’s streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.
