Suspicions around Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) mount in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings). 

Peri’s own mother, Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) is concerned when her daughter continues to be very defensive about the night of influencer Rayne Royce’s (Jemma Donovan) murder. 

Peri is definitely hiding something about that fateful night but what exactly is it?

Meanwhile Rayne’s army of fans are planning a rally.  

Zain Randeri (Jonas Khan) and Yazz Cunningham (Haiesha Mistry) try to advise Peri not to rise to it.

However, when there’s a miscommunication, a furious Peri confronts the fans face-to-face. 

Peri soon finds herself being heckled and with lots of anger directed at her, she cracks and lashes out.

Later at home, Peri starts to make  a video to clear her name. However when a noise suddenly spooks her she’s stopped in her tracks.

Meanwhile an unknown figure sneaks into the house and does something that could make things a whole lot worse for Peri.

Is Peri in terrible danger?

Elsewhere, Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) gets some much-needed support from her friends. The teens are all competing in the short film awards which comes with a big cash prize for the winner. 

Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kaur) is worried about Vicky’s wellbeing and unable to keep up the pretence any longer, Vicky reveals just how bad things have got for her. 

She confides that she really needs the competition money in order to get her out of supported living.

When Mason understands just how much she’s been struggling, he offers to help and so do the other teens who tell her that if they win the money themselves, they will give it to her.

Needing better editing software but not having  enough cash,  Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) tells his friends he can sort it.

Meanwhile Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor-Dawson) tries to make amends with Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power). Relations between the two men have been very strained ever since Dave and his family moved in. 

As the two men chat, they realise they could actually have been good friends for one another. 

However later on, Darren is worried when he finds a letter from Dave saying he’s decided to move out. 

Where has Dave gone and should everyone be concerned given the fragile mental state he’s in right now?
