Hollyoaks’ Leela Dexter will find herself in grave danger next week, as Tommy Odenkirk issues a shocking ultimatum to his next victim.
The fake therapist begins to manipulate Jez Blake for his own gain, but will he discover the grisly truth about his serial killer client?
“Jez has somehow managed to commit his crimes for years without being caught,” our insider begins, “with enough murders under his belt to fill a book, and Dilly buried in the allotment.
“But it seems he has met his match with Tommy, who could be about to expose his wrongdoing. And this might spell bad news for Leela…”

Leela finds a sombre Tommy in the village dressed in black next week, and Jez quickly intercepts their conversation.
Tommy explains that his brother Billy’s funeral is taking place today, and he’d hoped that Joel Dexter might come – with the knowledge that Joel is responsible for his death.
Jez offers to support Tommy on the sad day, but he has an ulterior motive. He recently had a hypnosis session with Tommy and is concerned about what might have been revealed.

Leela later reaches out to Jez to warn him that his new friend isn’t a real therapist, and that Tommy recorded her sessions, and he is left horrified.
Jez confronts Tommy at his home, determined to put a stop to his games. But he is shaken when Tommy plays a recording of him confessing to murder – then gives him an ultimatum. What will Jez choose to do?
“Jez’s worst nightmare has suddenly come true,” our source explains. “He is overwhelmed but knows he must act fast as Tommy tells him he is running out of time. When mum Martha tracks him down, he is hugely distressed by his impossible decision.”
