Hollyoaks spoilers follow from Thursday's episode on Channel 4 streaming, which doesn't air on E4 until Friday.
Hollyoaks has aired further fallout from Rayne Royce's death, as her friends have another blazing row.
In tonight's (October 12) streaming-first episode, Romeo Nightingale returned to the village after running away due to mounting suspicion that he killed his girlfriend. He maintains his innocence, but he and Peri Lomax have been seen agreeing that they need to keep something that happened on the night a secret.

Peri and Nadira Valli (who were involved in a love triangle with Juliet) had started to bond over everything that has happened lately, including Nadira's girlfriend Lacey Lloyd leaving town, when Romeo turned up at their house.
With Nadira in the kitchen, Peri tried to bring up what happened, before Romeo snapped back: "It never happened alright? I think it's best if we just forget about it."
What to Read Next
Before Peri could press further, Nadira entered the room and Romeo changed the subject to plans for a memorial for Rayne. The girls weren't sure it was a good idea and asked Romeo if he had spoken about it with his grief councillor.
The duo were worried Romeo was putting Rayne on a pedestal and ignoring the awful things about her when Phoenix suggested a group intervention including Hunter McQueen.

Romeo wasn't impressed. "We'll talk for a bit, cry a little. But in the end, nothing gets fixed. Me and Rayne were soulmates, she's the only one who got me," he said.
Nadira and Peri snapped back, asking why he was so forgiving, and Romeo accused Peri of making everyone hate Rayne.
Peri pointed out Rayne's cancer lies and her physical violence, even as her friends asked her to stop.
"Rayne wasn't an angel, she was a nasty, vindictive, manipulative woman and until you face that, you will never get over this."
Will Romeo continue to deny Rayne's actions, and will everyone's friendship survive all the arguments and revelations?
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
