Hollyoaks spoilers: Desperate Cleo McQueen agrees to an open relationship!
Airs Friday 2 Aug on E4 at 7pm.
Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) makes a risky promise in order to seem ‘less boring’ in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
In yesterday’s episode Cleo and her controlling boyfriend, Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) fell out after Cleo finally confronted him for constantly being nasty to her.
Abe retaliated by refusing to stay in the new flat that the two of them have just got together.
Tonight, Cleo who has been manipulated by Abe to feel that she’s always the one at fault, begs him to let her prove they can be the fun young couple that he wants them to be.
When John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) spots the two of them he asks if they enjoyed their first night together in their new flat.
The couple are forced to lie and pretend they were together when actually Abe was nowhere to be seen!
Later on, Abe and Cleo throw a flat-warming party.
However, Cleo, who has been manipulated by Abe into thinking her eating disorder has come back, starts picking at her food.
Meanwhile, at the party, she feels awkward during a game of ‘never have I ever’ and is hurt when John Paul says the two of them are ‘boring’.
Determined not to seem dull and unadventurous, Cleo agrees to have an ‘open’ relationship with Abe in which he can sleep with other women!
What on earth has Cleo has she just agreed to?
Elsewhere, Detective Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) questions Ro Hutchinson (Ava Webster) to try and find a connection between Beau Ramsey (Jon-Paul Bell) and murdered Declan Hawthorne (Alan Turkington).
Meanwhile, Cleo follows Kitty to The Loft and admits she doesn’t want to share Abe with other women.
At The Loft, Kitty overhears a conversation between Zoe and her police boss and discovers that it was Abe who was the one who filed a missing persons report on Kitty Draper, the woman whose identity she stole!
Later Cleo returns to the flat and is bracing herself to tell Abe that she doesn’t want an open relationship after all and she was only saying it to try and keep him happy.
However, she may be too late as it seems Abe has already set his sights on Teresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter)!
Plus, Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) tells Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) that he’ll give him driving lessons, but first gets him to clean his car.
Meanwhile, Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) tells Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) that she feels sorry for pregnant Zoe as she struggles without her late boyfriend Hunter who tragically died after taking dodgy drugs supplied by Warren Fox.
Prince who no-one but Zoe knows is the REAL father of Zoe’s baby, buys a book on being a first-time dad.
He hides it from Dilly but when he falls asleep on the sofa she stumbles across it in his coat pocket and confronts him.
What will Prince’s explanation be?
