Hollyoaks newcomer Kitty, whose real name is Ivy Shaw, is hiding a dark secret: she stole the identity of a woman killed in a car crash last month. Next week, her lies come under threat as police detective Zoe's mention of the crash triggers a panic attack.
Kitty was a passenger in one of the cars involved in the accident. The driver, the real Kitty, died instantly, and Ivy fled the scene without helping the trapped or injured. She has since been living as Kitty in the village, but fans are convinced there is more to the story.
Viewers have taken to social media to theorise that the real Kitty's car may have hit and killed teenager Ella Richardson. One fan posted: 'The way she acted when she heard Ella's name,' while another speculated: 'I think it was the car she was in that hit Ella.'
In upcoming episodes, Theresa, who was also in the crash, claims to recognise Kitty from somewhere, leaving Kitty panicked. As Kitty grows closer to Beau, her past threatens to catch up with her, raising questions about what else she might be hiding.
