Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) drops a bombshell on Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) in Hollyoaks next week, confessing a significant truth that could change everything between them. The pair, who have been carrying on a secret affair for months, finally confront the depth of their connection after spending an entire night talking, realizing they share more than just physical chemistry.
Secret Affair Intensifies
Viewers know that Cleo and Dodger’s relationship began with a stolen kiss at the hospital, which later evolved into a full-blown affair earlier this year. Their closeness has long been a source of tension for Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), who was dating Cleo at the time. Despite promising Sienna that their dalliance was over, Dodger and Cleo have found it impossible to stay apart, especially now that Sienna is behind bars.
Complicating matters further, Dodger is currently dating Theresa (Jorgie Porter), a member of Cleo’s own family. The secrecy has weighed heavily on both, but their feelings have proven too strong to ignore.
A Night of Revelation
In scenes airing this week, Cleo and Dodger meet in secret once again, and it becomes clear they are determined to continue their romance. New spoilers for next week reveal they spend the whole night together, but not just in a physical sense—they talk until morning, discovering a deeper emotional bond.
This newfound intimacy prompts Cleo to later confess a major truth to Dodger. The nature of this confession remains under wraps, leaving fans to speculate whether it will end their affair or push them closer together.
Abigail's Heartbreak
Meanwhile, Cleo’s interactions with Abigail (Brooke Vincent) take a turn. After a brief hook-up at The Dog, Abigail is smitten, but Cleo does not reciprocate the feelings. She lets Abigail down gently, ending their romance. However, unbeknownst to Cleo, Abigail suffers a breakdown in The Dog’s bathroom, hinting at deeper turmoil for the newcomer.
Abigail’s emotional state could have wider implications, especially given her recent predatory behavior toward Dee Dee, which has shocked viewers. The coming weeks may see Abigail’s instability escalate.
Theresa in the Dark
As Cleo and Dodger’s secret continues, Theresa remains oblivious. When the truth eventually surfaces—and it seems inevitable—Theresa is sure to be devastated. The big question is: which woman does Dodger truly want to be with? His confession to Cleo might provide the answer, but it could also tear the McQueen family apart.
Hollyoaks airs Mondays through Wednesdays, streaming from 6am on Channel 4’s platform, with episodes on E4 at 7pm. Fans can expect more drama as this tangled web of relationships unravels.
