Hollyoaks teases dangerous drinking story for Ro Hutchinson
He isn't impressed by Tony and Marie's romance.
Hollyoaks has teased a dangerous drinking storyline involving Ro Hutchinson that will air next week.
The Hutchinsons have had a difficult time recently, with Diane’s struggles with alcohol and later, Tony and Diane’s divorce.
After the time jump, it was teased that Tony had a new admirer, and it was soon revealed that he and Marie had been secretly seeing each other.
Ro discovered the pair’s romance last month when he caught his dad kissing Marie, and Tony asked him to keep the secret so he could tell Diane in his own time.
But it wasn’t long until Diane found out, when Marie was forced to admit the truth, and she was devastated by her ex-husband and her close friend’s betrayal.
Marie didn’t like seeing her friend struggling, so she thought it was a good idea for her and Tony to put the brakes on their relationship and take things slowly.
In scenes that will air next week, the situation hasn’t improved, with Diane finding it difficult when Marie walks into The Dog. She seems to have accepted Tony moving on, but she later tells Marie that she is struggling.
Tony and Marie have planned another date, and Tony is excited as he gets ready. Ro isn’t impressed by his dad’s enthusiasm, but Diane does her best to keep things amicable.
The word has spread about the new couple, as later at school, Ro and Marie’s son Arlo are told by Kathleen-Angel that their parents are on a date.
Arlo previously worked with Ant to play a trick on Ro, where they made a fake profile on an online forum for transgender teenagers and befriended him.
When he went to meet up with ‘Ash’, Arlo was there to throw eggs at him, and Ro was heartbroken when he discovered that his new friend wasn’t real. However, with their parents now in a relationship, Ro and Arlo might now be forced to get along.
Arlo has bought wine into school, which makes Kathleen-Angel angry. Ro offers to drink the wine with him – despite Arlo continuing to misgender him.
Will Ro be caught drinking, and will Diane find out?
