Hollyoaks spoilers for Tuesday, July 7's first-look episode follow.

Note: This article contains discussion of childhood abuse that some readers may find distressing.

Warren Fox has taken a cruel action in Hollyoaks as part of his feud with Felix Westwood.

Earlier this year, Warren (Jamie Lomas) confided in son Joel (Rory Douglas-Speed) and new friend Brody (Adam Woodward) that Felix bullied him unmercifully when they lived in a care home as children.

Emotions were already running high in the village again this week following Warren and ex Sienna Blake's (Anna Passey) shock kiss, which they have vowed to keep secret.

The childhood feud thus bubbled up again in Tuesday's E4 episode when Warren busted his way into Celeste (Andrea Ali) and Toby's (Bobby Gordon) home to get the jump on Felix.

"I want you out of the village today," Warren warned.

But as violence broke out between the two, Felix actually surprised Warren by revealing that he too had been abused in the care home.

"That place was a living nightmare for all us. You don't get the monopoly on bad memories," Felix told Warren.

Felix revealed that the carer who was supposed to be looking out for him, Cormac, would actually brutally beat him as a way to try to keep him in line.

Pulling off his shirt, Felix showed Warren that Cormac's beatings had left scars all over his back.

While it appeared initially as if Warren and Felix might actually have found some common ground, Warren later showed his true colours.

Warren actually made contact with Felix's abuser Cormac to ask for his help with his "little problem".

Jamie Lomas previously hinted that Warren would be pushed over the edge by seeing Felix again.

"What I can tell you is that Richard's character Felix is a very big part of Warren's past. He's one of the reasons why Warren is the way he is today," Lomas confirmed to Digital Spy.

"That's going to be explored and there's going to be some fireworks there, I can imagine! Richard is a good guy, great to work with and I'm just hoping that there's some juicy stuff coming up – there is so far!
