Eric Foster (Angus Castle-Doughty) is sent into a panic when his phone goes missing in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
Earlier on his sister, Verity Hutchinson (Eva O’Hara) confronts him when she learns that he’s still regularly posting on the women-hating forum, Men First.
An ashamed Eric tells his sisters that the men on the forum are the only friends he’s got.
Verity tries to assure him that people will love him if he can only let his guard down and give them a chance.
Feeling that she can’t trust Eric, she secretly takes his phone and writes a comment on the forum telling the forum members that she is Eric’s sister and from now on Eric won’t be coming back onto the site.
However, while she is online she opens a link relating to Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson) and is appalled by what she finds.
Meanwhile, Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kaur) tells Eric that Verity has hacked his account.
Realising his phone has vanished, Eric is on a desperate mission to retrieve it.
When his brother Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) walks in on him, Eric is forced to hide.
Later, and realising what Verity must have seen while hacking his account, he goes back onto the forum and reassures his forum pals, telling them not to worry, he’s going to silence Verity to make sure she doesn’t blab!
