Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ Bobby Costello and Jacob Omari will fight for their lives next week, as they attempt to escape the clutches of Clare Devine.
While Frankie and Dillon are now free of the horrifying exploitation operation, Clare is continuing with her scheme and Jacob and Bobby are currently at her mercy.
In this week’s scenes, Clare pays a visit to Rex in prison and gives him a huge ultimatum – kill her former nemesis Tom, or she will traffic Bobby and Jacob.
Tom’s fate and Rex’s deadly decision haven’t yet been revealed, but it seems that the teens go missing without a trace as a result.

Frankie realises that she owes her life to her new love interest Jacob next week, so she sets out to track down him and Bobby.
Elsewhere, Clare moves forward with her sinister plan and goes on the run with Jacob and Bobby as she prepares to traffic the two boys.
“Clare manages to outsmart the police,” explains our insider, “throwing them off the scent and sending them on a wild goose chase. Meanwhile, she prepares to take Bobby and Jacob to a service station – where the wheels are in motion for a handover.”

But Clare has made a crucial mistake, as Jacob knows exactly what she has planned. He tells Bobby what is in store, and the pair put together a plan to run away from the service station.
At a nearby café, Jacob and Bobby appeal to Clare once more to let them go and to not move forward with her operation.
“The teens try their best to appeal to Clare’s senses,” our source reveals. “They desperately hope that she’ll have a change of heart, but she doesn’t change her mind. At that moment, a car pulls up outside to collect Jacob and Bobby – have they run out of time?”

As the week continues, Mercedes receives a frantic call from Bobby, with his safety remaining at risk. Tony later leaves Mercedes a message, apologising for something. What has he done, and what will happen to Bobby and Jacob?
