Hollyoaks SPOILER: Tony’s paranoia is heightened by a dark new mystery

Tony Hutchinson’s paranoia will reach new heights in Hollyoaks next week when a mysterious vandal assaults The Dog.

In the next few scenes, Tony fears for his wife Diane’s safety as she prepares to travel to a women’s conference, after she was forced to fight for her life following a hostage siege with incel Eric Foster.

As the week begins, Diane (Alex Fletcher) tries to reassure Tony that he has nothing to worry about as she prepares to attend the women’s conference.

But their concern only grows when Beau delivers the startling news that their car has been broken into, and the bizarre circumstances leave them wondering if they’re just mindless criminals or something more sinister…

Later, Tony (Nick Pickard) panics because he can’t find Diane at the apartment before Jack sees that she is at the conference with Maxine.

That night, CCTV footage shows a hooded intruder inside The Dog moving furniture and vandalizing the pub, and the next morning Beau wakes up to discover the damage.

The crime leaves Tony more paranoid than ever, despite Diane returning safely from the conference.

Later, Beau (Jon-Paul Bell) discovers something in the security camera footage that hides the family and Detective Zoe.

Beginning to fear the worst and feeling unsafe in her own home, Diane, along with the children, goes to spend the night at Scott’s, leaving Tony and their son to guard the pub.

That night, Beau discovers a hooded figure in The Dog once again…and is shocked when he discovers his identity.

The family’s problems escalate further when they gather to hear Eric’s sentence for his crimes.

When Tony gets an unexpected call from Eric asking him to come visit him in prison, a concerned Diane thinks it’s time for her husband to seek professional help for the trauma his brother left behind.

Will Tony listen to his wife?
