In Hollyoaks next week, Gemma Johnston (Tisha Merry) and Leah Barnes (Charlotte Alex Riley) face serious danger when a knife is pulled out during an altercation at The Loft. Gemma, as viewers know, confirmed earlier this month that she is actually a top boss gangster, having seemingly taken over Froggy Black's (John Middleton) patch in the wake of his demise. When not looking after the locals at Dee Valley hospital, the doctor is organising her business operation – and she has roped Jenson Cole (Ryan Clayton) into doing her bidding.
Jenson's Conflicting Loyalties
Jenson, who has proven something of an enigma since his debut, has been distracted since Sebastian Blake's (Teddie Williamson) diagnosis with leukaemia and he wants to be there for brother Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) during this tough time – but Gemma insists that he prioritise her demands. Next week, she calls upon Jenson once more, urging him to play the doting boyfriend and stand by her side when she summons her heavies to interrogate them, suspecting someone of foul play.
Weapon Pulled at The Loft
Gemma quizzes them all – and it is not long before fingers are pointed at Jenson. The situation then takes quite a turn, with a weapon being pulled out. Horrified, Jenson jumps in to protect Gemma. Leah, meanwhile, drags Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) to The Loft for some drinks and, upon entry, they stumble upon the heavies fleeing the scene. With one of the gangsters holding a knife, Prince swiftly steps in to protect Leah.
Aftermath and Questions
Later, Imran Maalik (Ijaz Rana) thanks Prince for looking out for Leah. But just how does the situation pan out for Gemma and Jenson? And will the heavies get away with their crimes? Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.
