Eric Foster (Angus Castle-Doughty) told sister Verity Hutchinson (Eva O’Hara) that he was working on something on his laptop during the latest Hollyoaks, and by the time the credits rolled, we saw what his ‘creation’ was.
It was an online avatar of Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring), with who he’s become obsessed!
Cindy, as viewers know, received a phone call from her deceased fiancé Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy) last week, before ultimately being terrorised by a mystery stalker in her home in the middle of the night.
Cindy’s loved ones struggled to believe her claims of an intruder, with Tom (Ellis Hollins) believing that it was nothing more than a delusion.
But Friday’s (August 12) edition of the Channel 4 soap revealed that the intruder was none other than Eric, and subsequent scenes saw him take to his male online forum, recording a sinister video – while wearing the same mask he wore when he broke into Cindy’s flat.
He told his viewers in sick scenes that he trying to drive Cindy ‘crazy’ as a way of ‘payback’, because he believes she is ‘trying to taint’ his ‘pure’ sister Verity.
‘This is only the beginning!’, he concluded, laughing, as he closed down his laptop and took his mask off, before smiling.
Monday’s (August 15) edition of the serial drama picked up from where the previous left off, with Eric informing Verity that he was working on something on his laptop, claiming that it wasn’t quite finished yet.
Believing Cindy to be a negative influence, he proceeded to suggest that Verity stay away from her, claiming that the friendship was one-sided.
Verity, however, refused to do so, reiterating that Cindy needs her. Eric was fuming, and he continually stared at Cindy as he worked away on his laptop, concocting something sinister.
Tony (Nick Pickard), meanwhile, entered Eric’s caravan, determined to apologise over a previous insensitive comment he’d made, but he was left in shock as he witnessed Eric working on an animated avatar of Cindy.
Just what does Eric plan to do with the digital creation? What’s more, will Tony expose his sibling’s disturbing ways?
Hollyoaks continues Tuesday August 16 at 7pm on E4, or stream the next episode from midnight on All4.
