Lockie disappears after a
tense showdown with his brother Cameron, who could be about to turn back
to the dark side.
The
trouble all centres around Cameron's old flame Leela Lomax, who recently decided to flee the village with
their daughter Peri.
Cameron is delighted to finally get a lead on the pair's
whereabouts when he spots Ziggy Roscoe carrying a present wrapped in
boyband paper.
Knowing it must be for Peri, Cameron decides to follow Ziggy and finds himself at a flat where Leela has been living since
leaving Hollyoaks.
Catching up with his estranged wife, Ziggy
questions Leela on her treatment of Cameron, but she spitefully insists
that Peri doesn't have a dad as far as she's concerned. These could be
dangerous words, as Leela is unaware that Cameron can hear everything.
Later,
Leela is left alone when Ziggy heads off and Peri goes to meet her
on-off boyfriend Tom Cunningham. However, Ziggy soon turns back towards
the flat when he realises that he forgot to give Leela the present for
Peri.
Ziggy's return wakes Leela up, but she
panics when she can smell gas in the flat and realises that she is
locked in. Hero of the hour Ziggy tries desperately to kick down the
door, but Hollyoaks fans will have to tune in to find out whether he manages to save her or not.
In the aftermath, Lockie is first to smell a
rat over the explosion and fears that Cameron must have had something to
do with it. Getting tough with his brother, Lockie tells Cameron to
leave in the next two hours or he's going to the police with his theory.
Lockie
goes AWOL shortly afterwards, but few people question his disappearance
as they assume that he has gone off on a cruise with his estranged wife
Porsche McQueen.
When Peri goes to the Tugboat to find some answers, she's horrified to find obvious signs of a struggle, including glass and blood.
Has Lockie paid the ultimate price for his suspicions, and is Cameron really responsible for all of the recent sinister events? The answers will be revealed over the Christmas fortnight as Hollyoaks delivers a festive season to remember..
