Hollyoaks' Dee Dee faces danger in worrying Abigail cliffhanger

Hollyoaks' Dee Dee Hutchinson was left in a precarious position as her harrowing grooming storyline at the hands of Abigail Matthews continues. Abigail, Dee Dee's former drugs counsellor and current teacher, has been manipulating the teen following the death of her mother, Diane Hutchinson.

Their relationship recently reached new, dangerous heights when the duo admitted they had romantic feelings for each other. At school, Abigail has convinced Dee Dee that her grades are falling, and to spend more time around each other, she has been tutoring the teen.

Tonight's (12 October) episode of the soap saw them planning their first date together, leaving Dee Dee in a dangerous situation that will push her to extreme measures.

The latest instalment saw Abigail reassuring Dee Dee's father Tony Hutchinson that she will ensure his daughter gets her grades up with extra tuition sessions.

"They're my grades, so they're my responsibility," she tells Tony, handing Dee Dee a book for her to study in preparation and promising to create a schedule.

Inside, she left a secret note for Dee Dee, telling her to meet her in the classroom at lunchtime.

During their tutoring time, Abigail and Dee Dee planned their first date, arranging to go to see a play in Manchester that same night.

Dee Dee worried about how she would be able to get there, but Abigail offered to pick her up.

She panicked when Dee Dee's phone went off, and a notification appeared on her screen, asking the teen if she has their chat locked.

Abigail amended the thread for her, so that now when they message each other, her name will not appear.

Dee Dee later bumped into Kathleen Angel in the village, and they could both sense the other was hiding something, but neither opened up.

Abigail became worried that Dee Dee wasn't being careful enough in keeping their relationship secret when she realised Kathleen Angel overheard their phone conversation and rescinded her offer to pick her up.

Not having the money to get to Manchester on her own, but desperate to spend time alone with Abigail, Dee Dee stole money from Tony's wallet.

But when she arrived in Manchester, Abigail was nowhere to be found, her phone died, and she had no way of getting home. How will she get herself out of this mess?
