Hollyoaks fans have “worked out”Jez Blake’s (Jeremy Sheffield) next victim after killing Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) in cold blood.
It was revealed that Jez had murdered Dilly in a bid to stop her from reporting Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) to the police during Tuesday’s (January 14) episode of the Channel 4 soap, which is now available to watch online.
Dilly faced pressure when Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) found out about her and Prince McQueen’s (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) affair, and Sienna accidentally admitted to killing Ethan Williams (Matthew James-Bailey) on their wedding day.
A shocked Dilly decided to leave the village for good, but beforehand she told Jez about Sienna’s confession, unaware that he already knew and had covered it up. Jez then resorted to desperate measures to keep Sienna’s crime a secret, and he approached her menacingly, looking to strangle her with some apron strings and therefore killing Dilly.

Following reports that Jez is set to become the next village serial serial, fans have taken to social media to predict who could be next on his hit list.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Need ppl to stop saying Jez is gonna kill John Paul bc I can not handle that actually.”
Another added: “John Paul better watch out.” A third social media user said: “Run my John Paul, Run!” A fourth person said: “Mark my word Prince is next. He’ll go looking for Dilly, get suspicious of Jez and that’ll be it.”

In upcoming scenes, Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) is worried about her disappearance, while Prince vows to go to the police if they don’t hear from her soon.
Meanwhile, Sienna is interested in tracking down her twin brother Dodger Savage (Danny Mac), but Jez doesn’t think it is the right time to do so, considering that she is too caught up in trying to find Dilly.
Prince is struggling to accept that Dilly has suddenly left the village and explains that they have always loved each other.

He tells Sienna that he is convinced something is off about Dilly’s disappearance and he promises that he won’t stop until he finds out what has happened to her.
But Sienna isn’t so sure about Prince’s plan, and she is concerned that he shouldn’t be searching for Dilly. Will Dilly’s loved ones discover the truth about her disappearance?
