Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday’s (November 15) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on Thursday November 16 at 7pm.
Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) found himself under suspicion of Rayne Royce’s (Jemma Donovan) murder after Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) discovered an incriminating video on his laptop.
The video in question was a trimmed clip of Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) which, taken out of context, appears to show the nurse confessing to Rayne’s murder.
Peri has found herself the prime suspect in the murder investigation following the video’s circulation on social media and, despite the police having issued a statement to confirm that they’re not pursuing such a line of inquiry, Rayne’s fans still reckon that Peri is to blame.
With Zoe having found the unaltered video on his laptop, the detective naturally came to the conclusion that Prince was to blame for the circulation of the clip, therefore making him a potential suspect in Rayne’s murder.
Prince, however, was appalled by such accusations and claimed that he’d never seen the video before, going so far as to make a public declaration of his innocence on a radio show, stating that Zoe is trying to set him up.
Hunter (Theo Graham), meanwhile, urged Zoe not to go to the police with the laptop, while Prince tried to lodge a complaint against Zoe.
With everything spiralling out of control, Hunter had little choice but to come clean, telling Prince that it was he who posted the video of Rayne online in a bid to avert suspicion.
Prince struggled to process the revelation that his twin had set Peri up, though there was more heartache to come, with the DJ suffering from a panic attack in subsequent scenes, as he broke down in Hunter’s arms, making a shock confession.
‘Rayne’s dead!’, he said, ‘and we all know who did it. I killed Rayne.’ Hunter didn’t appear too shocked as he gave his brother a hug.
Prince has officially admitted to the crime. With flashback scenes set to reveal all in the coming episodes, will this mystery finally be put to bed? Or can viewers expect more twists to come?
