Five explosive Hollyoaks spoilers for this week
NEWCOMER Eric Foster is finding it hard to get comfortable in the Chester village this week.
Coming up, his attraction to Cleo gets out of hand. Here's what you need to know about this week's Hollyoaks drama.
1. Eric struggles to fit in...
Verity Hutchinson's brother Eric Foster (portrayed by Angus Castle-Doughty) made his first appearance in Hollyoaks on March 8, 2022.
His arrival has been shrouded in mystery ever since as the character has struggled to find friends to rely on in the village.
This week, however, Verity drags Eric out for a night with her friends - unaware of the drama this will cause.
This is mostly due to Eric's growing attraction for Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin), whom he met through Verity.
Little did he know somebody else had their sights on her.

2. ... And acts out for Cleo
Hopes for Eric and Cleo are shattered when he sees a spicy text from Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) on Cleo’s phone.
Later, at The Loft and as villagers celebrate Zoe's birthday, Eric makes a desperate attempt to come out on top and resorts to extreme measures to wipe out the competition.
The wild night out catches up with the group of friends in the form of hangovers and in Cleo’s case, a missing boyfriend.
Eric tries to hide his involvement in Joel’s absence by implying
he saw him leave with another woman.
But how long will the truth remain under wraps?
