Freddie threatens Grace with a gun in Hollyoaks

In the latest episode of Hollyoaks, Freddie Roscoe takes alarming steps when he holds a gun on his wife, Grace Black. He demands she confess to the murder of Abe Fielding to help get their friend, Mercedes McQueen, out of prison. However, their tense situation is interrupted when Freddie’s daughter, Lexi, arrives, realizing that his plan lacks careful thought. Later, Grace feels empowered as she celebrates gaining control of their garage business with her brother, Rex Gallagher. She believes she has finally escaped from Freddie's grasp, but there may still be surprises as Freddie could have a trick up his sleeve. Meanwhile, a dramatic subplot unfolds as Joel Dexter hears Sienna Blake calling for help.
