Hollyoaks viewers believe they’ve figured out who’s blackmailing Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence).
Earlier this week, amidst the romantic atmosphere of Vicky and Robbie Roscoe’s (Charlie Wernham) engagement party, Dillon Hay (Nathaniel Dass) accused Vicky of being a drama magnet.
When Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) showed up at the party sporting a facial cut, Dillon assumed it was inflicted by his boss.
Rex played along, telling Dillon that to make amends and avoid further trouble, he needed to steal from the Hutch to replace the money that disappeared during Dillon and Lucas Hay’s (Oscar Curtis) house party.
Vicky then received a mysterious text from someone claiming to be Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham), asking for a keepsake photo. Loyal fans will recall that Freddie and Vicky have been secretly seeing each other behind Robbie’s back.

In Tuesday’s episode (February 18), now available online, Vicky’s troubles escalated as Robbie asked Freddie to be his best man. Vicky later got another message threatening to expose her unless she paid up, leading fans to speculate about the identity of the blackmailer, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Buzz is building on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, where viewers have been dissecting the latest twists and turns of their favourite drama. One user speculated: “Dillon is definitely the one blackmailing vicky omg.”

Another expressed concerns for the storyline’s friendship dynamics, posting: “Even though it seems too obvious if Dillon is the one blackmailing Vicky then that’s the end of their friendship for me I fear. Vicky’s always supported him despite his mistakes and now he’s threatening to do something with her pictures for money.”
A third chimed in about potential plot outcomes: “Hope Vicky+Dillon’s relationship doesn’t get totally ruined when she finds out it’s him blackmailing her. She was getting texts right after Rex said about the keys so he must’ve just started texting as a backup plan in case he didn’t want to/couldn’t get the key.”

With emotions running high in the story, this week promises to bring more compelling scenes as Robbie, oblivious to the turmoil inside Freddie, thanks him for his support. Overcome with guilt, Freddie finds himself at a loss, not realising the full extent of his brother’s emotional burden.
As if things couldn’t get tougher for Freddie, in a twist of fate, Robbie unexpectedly surprises him with a gift — but what could it be?
