Will he take a risk?
Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ Dillon Ray is to face to a major dilemma next week as Rex Gallagher makes a sinister threat.
The soap is in the early stages of exploring an exploitation storyline involving Dillon and Frankie, which will see the friends lured into a dangerous world by a gang.
Rex has targeted Dillon and has started to tempt him into taking drugs. He has also offered him the chance to live in James’ old house rent free in an attempt to isolate him from his family – but Rex was frustrated when Dillon asked Lucas to move in with him.
As the teen couple unpacked their belongings in this week’s episodes, Rex secretly stashed a bag of money in a cupboard in the house.
In scenes that will air next week, Rex comes round to collect his cash from Dillon but realises that it is missing. With Rex explaining that his boss is in the drugs business, Dillon panics and tries to help him find the money.
Meanwhile, Lucas is looking to the future as he starts his first day at his new job – working in the kitchen at The Hutch, after Tony was previously impressed by his culinary skills.
Ste is happy to be working with his son, and tells him that if he does well, he will get him the new laptop he wants.
Later, Dillon finds Rex with a cut on his face and assumes that it was the work of his mysterious boss. Rex decides to play along with this and tells Dillon that to save him from more danger, he must steal money from The Hutch.
This puts Dillon in a tricky position, but he is warned that he has no choice but to get his hands on the keys for the restaurant.
Dillon manages to steal the keys, but at that moment, Lucas is asked to get something out of the safe.
With Dillon stuck between the fear of Rex and the guilt of stealing from his partner’s work, what will he decide to do?
Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.
