The ongoing storyline involving Bobby Costello took another twist on Hollyoaks, with an arrest finally being made.
The troubled teen was killed in cold blood by Jez Blake last month, with the serial killer using the murder to conceal his previous crimes. Despite this, Tony Hutchinson believed he was responsible for Bobby's death, though he had covered his 'tracks' with the help of Diane.
Monday's (18 August) episode saw Tony's affair with Mercedes exposed as they gathered for Bobby's funeral, with tonight's instalment beginning as Diane downplayed the flirty message while speaking to Ant and Dee Dee.
After Mercedes paid an emotional tribute to her late son, Diane arrived at the funeral and asked Tony if he had recently slept with Mercedes, though he denied it as he declared his love for Diane and said he was merely friends with Mercedes.
