Hollyoaks reveals another dark twist in Eric story

Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks has revealed another dark twist in Eric Foster's chilling storyline, which explores radical misogyny and incel culture.

Last week, Eric's hatred for women continued to unfold when he made a chilling post on an incel website, held up a transphobic poster, and produced a photo of Maxine with the word "s**g" written across her forehead.

His behaviour continues to impact the village, and it looks like he could have an accomplice in due course.

In scenes airing next week, a fight brews between Mason and DeMarcus as they exchange some harsh words.

What to Read Next

Eric tries his hand at manipulating Mason and encourages him to take revenge on DeMarcus, but will the teen fall for Eric’s schemes again?

Later on, Mason tries to find someone to help him with his magic videos. He's left feeling upset after he comes across a photo of Charlie, Ella and Leah hanging out. Will his loneliness lead him to lash out?

As Mason turns to old habits to vent his frustrations, his strong opinions create a divide between him and his friends as he berates them for giving DeMarcus their pity.

Feeling dismissed, Mason turns to Eric, who shockingly reveals the brutal way in which he's been dealing with his anger. Will Mason follow Eric's lead?

After all, it wouldn't be the first time Mason's been manipulated by Eric. Last month, Mason tried to win over Ella Richardson, but when she declined his advances, her nude photos ended up online.
