Hollyoaks newcomer Eric Foster has been hiding something ever since his arrival in the village, with his siblings Tony and Verity suspicious but unsure on what's going on.
Next week will see Eric's hopes for a romance with Cleo McQueen dashed when, on a wild night out, he will see a saucy text from Joel Dexter on her phone, and will hatch a desperate plan to get Joel out of the way.

The next day, everyone is going to be suffering from the hangover from hell, with Joel missing, which is when Eric will imply that he saw his love rival leave with another woman.
Will Cleo buy it?
Joel will issue a warning to Eric to stay away from Cleo, as he makes a big decision about his relationship. Eric will try to make amends, while Verity thinks that he probably needs his own space and decide to rent the McQueens' caravan on his behalf.
Alone in the caravan, Eric will vent his frustrations by writing it all down, but is going to get interrupted by Verity when she invites him to The Dog for a drink with herself and Cleo.
Desperate to get out of it, he'll invite Joel to The Dog at the same time, but does he have more sabotage in mind?
