| Deputy Soaps Editor Published October 5, 2026 11:59pm Abigail target Dee Dee again as things take a turn (Picture: Lime Pictures / Metro) Abigail Matthews’ (Brooke Vincent) grooming of Dee Dee Hutchinson (Chloe Atkinson) escalates in Hollyoaks next week as she plans to go on a date with the student. The high school teacher, as viewers know, has been targeting Dee Dee – who she first encountered at a rehab facility a few months ago – for quite some time now. Dee Dee has come to see newcomer Abigail, who recently landed a job at the local high school, as someone she can confide in, unaware of the teacher’s true intentions. The situation accelerated rather dramatically last month when Dee Dee discovered that Abigail had manipulated Maddox Keane (Sam Meyer) into giving her space. Determined to get answers, Dee confronted Abigail, who responded by asking the teen if she has feelings for her. Dee Dee admitted that she does. And next week, things get worse.

The question is: will the night out lead to the truth about what Abigail is up to coming out? That remains to be seen but the subsequent episode sees the Hutchinson clan worried sick that Dee Dee has relapsed, with Ant (Brook Debio) lashing out when he finds out his sister has been drinking. Dee Dee, however, lashes out in return, leaving the whole family at odds. Later, Dee Dee quizzes Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) on how she knew she was attracted to women.
