Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Tuesday’s (June 10) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm.

An unexpected twist in the tale of who killed Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) has confirmed that the murderer is none other than – drum roll please – Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield).

Dennis, who was a fan-favourite, featured on-screen between 2011 and 2014, with a brief comeback 2018.

However, according to Dodger Savage (Danny Mac), who staged a comeback earlier this year after a decade, Dennis was killed after he was injured in a hit-and run, with Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) driving the car in question.

Though he is believed to have survived the incident, Dennis subsequently went missing, with Dodger believing that DI Banks (Drew Cain) and wife Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) were to blame for his murder.

The criminal power couple, as fans know, adopted Tori (Harriet O’Shea), who was previously in the care of Dennis.

Feeling some semblance of guilt for her role in the trafficking operation, Grace Black (Tamara Wall) opted to give Tori back to the Blakes.

Tori’s arrival at the flat put Jez on edge, particularly because of the USB file containing recordings of his therapy sessions with Tommy Odenkirk (Brandon Fellows).

It subsequently came to light that the reason for his caginess was due to the fact that he killed Dennis – which was confirmed via a close-up of the book he keeps track of his victims in, with a picture of Dennis included.

Liberty (Jessamy Stoddart), meanwhile, was suspicious of Jez’s behaviour and thus started to investigate, getting dangerously close to the truth. Jez, however, covered his tracks by claiming that – on the therapy recordings – he confessed his true love for Lib.

Taken aback, Lib was in shock, but passion soon followed, with her and Jez sleeping together.

The Blake family dynasty continues to get even more complicated! Who thought it even possible?
