Hollyoaks viewers love a good mystery, and this week, they believe they’ve cracked the case of who’s blackmailing Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence).
The shocking twist has left fans speculating as tensions rise in the village, and fingers are now pointing at Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass).
Suspicion Grows as Blackmail Messages Escalate
Earlier this week, emotions ran high at the engagement party for Vicky and Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham).
But instead of basking in their celebration, Vicky found herself at the center of yet another dramatic situation.
The trouble started when Dillon accused her of being a magnet for chaos, setting the stage for a series of unsettling events.
Things took an even darker turn when Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) arrived at the party sporting a fresh facial wound. Dillon immediately assumed that his employer was responsible, but rather than clearing up the misunderstanding, Rex played along. He manipulated Dillon into believing he needed to make amends—by stealing from The Hutch to replace money that had gone missing after a wild house party thrown by Dillon and Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis).
At the same time, Vicky received a mysterious text message from someone claiming to be Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham), requesting a keepsake photo. This immediately set off alarm bells among fans, as they know Freddie and Vicky have been secretly seeing each other behind Robbie’s back. The timing of the message, coupled with its request, hinted that something more sinister was at play.
Fans Theorize That Dillon is the Blackmailer
Tuesday’s episode (February 18), which is now available online, further intensified the mystery. Robbie asked Freddie to be his best man, a heartfelt request that made Freddie’s guilt even heavier. Meanwhile, Vicky’s troubles deepened when she received another threatening message, this time demanding money in exchange for keeping her secret safe.
This new development had fans racing to social media to discuss the identity of the blackmailer. Viewers quickly began piecing together clues, with many believing that Dillon is the one behind the messages.
One Hollyoaks fan took to X (formerly Twitter) to write:
“Dillon is definitely the one blackmailing Vicky omg.”
Another viewer expressed disappointment over the potential betrayal, saying:
“Even though it seems too obvious, if Dillon is the one blackmailing Vicky, then that’s the end of their friendship for me. Vicky has always supported him despite his mistakes, and now he’s threatening to do something with her pictures for money.”
A third fan theorized about Dillon’s possible motivations, adding:
“Hope Vicky and Dillon’s relationship doesn’t get totally ruined when she finds out it’s him blackmailing her. She was getting texts right after Rex mentioned the keys, so he must’ve just started messaging as a backup plan in case he couldn’t steal the key.”
Is Dillon Really Behind the Blackmail?
If Dillon is responsible for the blackmail, it would mark a significant betrayal in his friendship with Vicky. Over the months, she has stood by him despite his mistakes, always offering her support. If he is indeed behind the messages, their relationship may never recover.
However, some fans believe there could be another twist in store. While Dillon’s behavior has been suspicious, could Rex actually be the true mastermind, using Dillon as a pawn in his game? Considering Rex’s manipulative nature, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was orchestrating the entire scheme from behind the scenes.
What’s Next for Vicky and Freddie?
As the drama unfolds, Robbie remains completely unaware of the turmoil happening around him. Oblivious to the emotional turmoil inside Freddie, he expresses gratitude for his brother’s support. This only adds to Freddie’s guilt, as he struggles to deal with the weight of his secret affair with Vicky.
In a surprising twist, Robbie presents Freddie with a gift. But what could it be? Is it something that will deepen Freddie’s guilt, or will it push him to finally confess the truth?
With the tension reaching new heights, Hollyoaks fans won’t have to wait long to see how this mystery unfolds. Will Vicky discover who has been blackmailing her? If Dillon is behind it, will she ever be able to forgive him? And how much longer can Freddie keep his secret before the truth inevitably comes out?
One thing is certain—next week promises even more drama, unexpected twists, and jaw-dropping revelations.
