Hollyoaks spoilers follow from Thursday's episode on Channel 4 streaming, which doesn't air on E4 until Friday.
Hollyoaks has aired some tough scenes for Beau Ramsay as he's in prison for the death of Kitty Draper's father, Declan Hawthorne.
In tonight's (August 1) episode, Kitty was worried when Ro Hutchinson was questioned by the police and asked about any connection between Beau and Declan. Meanwhile, Kitty, who's kept her real identity a secret, tried to put Zoe Anderson off Ro and her.
A guilt-ridden Kitty visited Beau in jail, telling him she intended to confess as he only killed Declan to protect her. Beau stopped her, lying about having a strong case for self-defence.

The couple parted ways with Beau telling Kitty they'd see each other soon, but the look on his face said otherwise.
