Hollyoaks star Tyler Conti has revealed the disturbing threats he’s received while playing Abe Fielding on the soap.

The actor joined the soap earlier this year as the sinister villainLoyal fans have been watching Abe’s abusive behaviour towards his girlfriend Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) escalate over several months.

Recent episodes saw Cleo trying to escape from Abe, while he chased her through the village.

Speaking to The Daily Star, actor Tyler explained that some viewers ‘can’t separate the character’ from his soap alter ego.

He said: ‘There have been some strong reactions. I have had threats. They say things like, ‘If I ever see you in the street, you’re going to get it’ and ‘I’m going to find you.”‘it can be a bit worrying.”

The actor also shared that ‘it can be a bit worrying’ and he’s had to block some of the accounts to prevent himself seeing their abusive messages.

The Channel 4 soap subsequently took a time jump, with Monday’s (September 16) edition of the serial taking place a year after the stunt week chaos.

Cleo was thought to be in Bali, recovering from her ordeal at Abe’s hands – but that isn’t actually the case, with Abe keeping her locked up behind a reinforced locked door in the flat!

Cleo was seen looking terrified by a wall as Abe entered with food on a platter for her.

Will someone work out that Cleo is still in the village? Will she get the help she needs to escape Abe once and for all?

Abe, meanwhile, remains the talk of the village for the way he treated Cleo and, to further complicate matters, he’s embarked on a secret relationship with Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell), who thinks he deserves another chance!
