Hollyoaks’ Mercedes McQueen will bring up Ella Richardson’s tragic death as she lashes out at Ste Hay.
This week, Mercedes received another devastating blow when Tony Hutchinson admitted to killing her son Bobby Costello in an accidental hit-and-run.
What to Read Next
While Tony supported Mercedes at Bobby’s funeral, his family discovered the pair had been secretly sleeping together. Diane was incensed, having helped Tony cover up his crime, and blurted out the truth during the ceremony, which was being livestreamed.
Tony was arrested and later charged with murder, while Diane was taken in for questioning. However, viewers know that Bobby was actually murdered by serial killer Jeremy Blake, in an act of revenge against Mercedes.

Next week, Mercedes is on the warpath as she processes the betrayal from her two friends. She turns up at The Hutch to publicly inform Tony’s customers of his crime.
Ste is caught in the crossfire when he tries to calm her down, as Mercedes then lashes out at him. She reminds Ste that he is also responsible for the death of a teenager, after killing Ella in a hit-and-run last year.

Ste is heartbroken to have his past mistake brought up again, but Mercedes is consumed by her grief and anger. Could she have taken things too far?
“Tony’s in prison for a crime we know he didn’t commit,” our insider recalls. “But this isn’t enough for Mercedes, and she wants to let his customers know that he caused Bobby’s death.”
“It’s hard to watch her fall out with Ste too as she lashes out in her grief – but will Mercedes ever find out that it was actually Jez who killed her son?”
