Hollyoaks star Chloe Atkinson has revealed that her character Dee Dee Hutchinson could start to fight back against Abigail Matthews' evil scheming.

In a chat with Inside Soap, Chloe confirmed that Abigail might not be able to keep manipulating Dee Dee forever – hinting at a possible turning point in the storyline.

"It only gets more intense – however, we do see Dee Dee begin to take more control over the relationship and start to play Abigail at her own game," explains Chloe.

"Also, Dee Dee and Maddox get closer over Christmas, which I'm sure will excite the audience as viewers like them together!"

In the meantime, next week's episodes see Abigail tighten her grip on Dee Dee, as she suggests that they should start a new life abroad.

Abigail comes up with the idea as the walls seem to be closing in on her at Hollyoaks High – with new colleague Sienna Blake starting to get suspicious.

"In the upcoming episodes, we will see Sienna become more of a threat to Abigail," confirms Chloe. "She becomes a detective in Abigail’s life and wants to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. Whether Sienna is the one to figure it out, I don't know, but I think it’s a possibility..."

Asked about Abigail's escape plan, she continues: "Dee Dee is fully under Abigail's spell, so she doesn't really question it.

"We do see her worry about what people will think and her concerns about leaving her family, but because Dee Dee is such a broken young woman, having someone who wants her overrides the negative feelings, even if it's someone who's a danger to her."
