Hollyoaks villain Grace Black fears the worst as Curtis vanishes

Grace Black (Tamara Wall) is left terrified in Hollyoaks next week as her beloved son Curtis vanishes without a trace.
The discovery is made towards the end of next week’s episodes of the Channel 4 soap, with hardened gangster Grace left panicked after she’s unable to locate her beloved child.
The question is: just where is Curtis?
Grace, as viewers know, has sunk to new depths following her return to the dark side, taking over the child exploitation operation that DI Banks was running.
With Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) by her side, Grace decided to show just how ruthless she is as she targeted ‘niece’ Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith), despite knowing about her ordeal at the hands of her twin brother.
Rex proceeded to groom Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass), with both he and Frankie invited to a party by Grace – which saw the teens manipulated into having sex with the party-goers for cash.
Has someone retaliated against Grace for her twisted behaviour and taken Curtis? Or is there another explanation?
Grace’s involvement in the exploitation storyline has left fans convinced that there is no way back for the character, stating that she cannot be redeemed.

‘Grace can’t be redeemed,’ said social media user Maria following last Wednesday’s (March 19) episode.
‘She’s legit manipulating a vulnerable 17 year old into thinking she needs to do this to take her power back after being sexually abused. She’s legit profiting off it.’
Tasha Louise, meanwhile, shared a classic picture of Grace Black, writing: ‘I want this Grace back, she’s always been a baddie but I’m so gutted they’ve made her character irredeemable this way.’
