Abigail first encountered Tony Hutchinson's daughter while working as a youth recovery counsellor at Brindlewood Place, following the death of Dee Dee's mother Diana.

Taking advantage of the teenager's grief and vulnerability, the teacher's manipulation takes on a sinister turn as she aims to flee the village with Dee Dee.

Shortly before they attempt to make a run for it, Abigail takes a drunk Dee Dee back to her flat following the school fight and the teen struggles with her feelings for Abigail.

Meanwhile, Sienna overhears a heated conversation between the two when she drops off Cindy's coat.

Tony starts to panic when Dee Dee spends the night away from home, but Sienna informs him that she believes his daughter is with Abigail.

While Tony breaths a sigh of relief, the same cannot be said for Sienna as she suspects something inappropriate is happening, and shares her suspicions to Hollyoaks High headteacher, Nancy Osbourne.

Following a heated discussion, Abigail further fuels her criminal activity as she asks Dee Dee to run away with her to France and start a life together.

Secretly packing to start their new life, Abigail is relieved when Dee Dee shows up and the pair drive out of the village together.

In a desperate bid to not get caught, Dee Dee and Abigail shop for disguises, while Kathleen-Angel is desperately trying to contact her friend.

Abigail is determined to make it to the ferry as she speeds through Liverpool town centre, but will they make it?

The long-running plot highlights the psychological strategies used with grooming by showing how they socially isolate their victims to garner complete control.
