Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks‘ Jez Blake is set to commit another sinister crime next week, as it appears that another villager knows about his deadly actions.
Last week, another character joined the list of serial killer Jez’s victims – which already includes Dilly Harcourt and Abe Fielding.
Dodger Savage has his granddaughter Tori back in his life, after the death of corrupt cop DI Banks, but he is still desperate to find out how his cousin Dennis Savage died.
But as he continued to question Clare Devine, viewers found out that it was in fact Jez who killed Dennis, with his face appearing in his infamous book of murders.

Next week, Dodger plans to meet up with Tori’s former social worker, and Jez is concerned that he is getting closer to the truth.
“Dodger is determined to get answers about Dennis,” says our insider, “and Jez is worried that he’s managed to track down Tori’s social worker. Jez plans to accompany Dodger on this visit, but his plan is ruined when John Paul invites him and his family to Mercedes’ remission party.”
When Dodger attends the meeting in the park, it’s clear that the social worker is on edge. He admits that shortly before his death, Dennis said that he was being harassed by a member of the Blake family.

It looks like this could spell danger for Jez, but Dodger later tells him that he thinks it was Dilly who Dennis was concerned about. Jez is in the clear again, though John Paul McQueen is upset that he didn’t attend the party – so where was he?
That evening, Jez faces his biggest threat yet, when a blackmail letter slides under his door and wipes the smile from his face.
“Jez is shaken, and terrified that someone knows about his secret crimes,” our source reveals. “And things get worse when Martha finally puts her foot down. She tells her son that she can’t keep supporting him and even calls him a narcissist, and Jez is left shattered.”

With Martha declaring that his behaviour has made him impossible to love, sociopath Jez is heartbroken for the first time.
Rejected by his mum and with no one to confide in about his crimes, Jez commits another sin and takes someone prisoner in his shed.
Who is he holding captive, and is yet another life in danger?
