Hollyoaks spoilers follow for the latest episode to air on E4 and stream on the Channel 4 service.
Things have gone from bad to worse for Lucas Hay in the latest episode of Hollyoaks, as a shocking arrest leads to his secrets being exposed.
The latest instalment began with an angry Jenson Cole heading into Casa McQueen to give Mercedes the audio files of Gemma Johnson's confession to the crypto wallet crimes. She immediately took them to the station to show Dodger Savage and Donny Clark.

Meanwhile, at the Maalik household, Misbah gave Gemma a pep talk about how she didn't believe all the "rumours" about her and that she's a "good" person. But as soon as Gemma left for work, Dodger and Donny arrived to reveal that it was all true.
The duo turned up at the hospital to arrest her, but a chase broke out. It wasn't long before they cornered her on the roof, where she begged her dad to let her go.
"Talk to me, Gemma. Whatever you've done, you're still my little girl," Donny said, apologising for not being there for her.
After an emotional confrontation, a broken Gemma accepted her arrest.

In the interview room, Gemma initially pleaded "no comment" to every question. That is until Dodger starting asking about Ste Hay's disappearance and how they knew her associate Brick was connected.
She told them that they were looking at the wrong person. She eventually relented and revealed that "this whole thing" is on Lucas. At the same time though, Lucas hopped in a taxi and told the driver to get him out of the village.
With the net closing in, will Lucas be able to escape? And what will become of Ste?
