Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Monday’s (March 31) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm.

Marie Fielding (Rita Simons) was left reeling in the wake of her engagement party after fiancé Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) smacked Arlo (Dan Hough) across the face.

Tony, as viewers know, discovered moments earlier that Arlo had been bullying Ro (Ava Webster) for months, cruelly encouraging the teen to take his own life.

Enraged, Tony saw red and retaliated in the heat of the moment, leaving Marie in shock as she berated him for assaulting a child.

Diane (Alex Fletcher), who long suspected that Arlo was her son’s abuser, attempted to make Marie see that her child is a bully, while Tony told his fiancee that she’s letting history repeat after ‘turning a blind eye’ to Abe’s (Tyler Conti) abusive nature.

But Marie refused to accept that Arlo was a bully, ordering Tony out of her home. Ro, meanwhile, berated his dad for causing a scene, claiming he’s made the situation much worse.

In a bid to make things right, the restaurateur took himself to the police station, where he confessed to slapping Arlo, revealing all about Ro’s ordeal at the hands of the abuser.

The police agreed to investigate. Over at 2 Oakdale Drive, Marie consoled Arlo, who feigned shock over Tony’s accusations. The police arrived on their doorstep and took Arlo in for questioning, much to the dismay of Marie, who claimed her son was the victim.

However, she soon saw Arlo for who he truly is as the detective quizzed him on his bullying of Ro, prompting him to admit that he did instruct Ro to take his own life.

Marie was horrified.

Arlo, however, soon used his confession to his advantage, claiming he resorted to bullying Ro in a bid to get back at Tony, accusing him of abuse.

Tony was left reeling when the police arrived to arrest him based on Arlo’s allegations. Will he be able to prove his innocence? Will Arlo finally pay for his crimes?
