Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday’s episode (April 9), which is available to watch now on streaming service Channel 4 and hasn’t yet aired on TV.
Hollyoaks’ Dodger Savage has made a shocking decision to protect his undercover identity in the latest episode.
In his attempts to bring down a criminal operation, Dodger has been working with Rex – and this week, Rex ordered him to ‘get rid’ of Robbie, who he and Grace wrongly assumed to be a mole.
Robbie obviously recognised Dodger, who is going by the name ‘Ben’, and who promised to help him escape the hostage situation.
Dodger returned to the village to ask for Maxine’s help, and he got his hands on her car keys, but not before unexpectedly reuniting with Sienna and meeting his dad, Jez.

Myra confronted Dodger with the news that Myra-Pocahontas was his daughter, but he already knew this through Maxine. He made it clear that he couldn’t have anything to do with her, but the teen overheard this and was devastated.

He tried to escape from the village, but Rex caught him and took him back to where Robbie was being held hostage, and he finally came face to face with Grace again.

Dodger tried to explain his new identity by saying he is on the run, but he and Robbie told Grace opposing stories about what happened the previous day.
Grace is torn about whether Dodger or Robbie is the mole in the operation, so she gives Dodger the chance to prove his loyalty with a violent act.
With that, Dodger turned on Robbie and brutally attacked him while Grace and Rex stood by and watched.
Will Robbie survive Dodger’s attack, and has Dodger done enough to keep his identity under wraps?
