Despite that, it was teased in advance spoilers that his progress would be threatened by the arrival of a new cellmate, and that development began in today’s episode of the Channel 4 soap.
The instalment began with Lucas speaking to Dillon on the phone that he had managed to attain behind bars, though their call was interrupted as Lucas headed off-screen. Dillon heard a fight over the line, and was immediately worried.
Dillon headed to Donny, and asked if he could contact any of his former colleagues to get more information. It was revealed that Lucas was recovering following a minor scrap, which had spilled into his cell.
Dillon headed to the prison and spoke with Lucas, who seemed in chipper spirits despite the fight. Dillon dreamt of a future for them, but Lucas urged him to find somebody else instead of waiting for up to seven years.
Lucas’s mood worsened, however, when it was revealed that Connor ‘Sully’ Sullivan was his new cellmate. To make matters worse, the corrupt cop, who raped Donny Clark last year before targeting Dodger Savage, had another villainous plan on his mind.
