Hollyoaks bad boy Edward Hutchinson (Joe McGann) has had his sights on son Tony Hutchinson’s wife Diane ever since he stepped foot in the village.
The evil doctor takes his cunning plan to the next level in upcoming scenes as he decides to share this master plan with daughter Verity (Eva O’Hara), who returns to Chester next week.
Edward can’t resist in confiding in Verity as he steps up his cruel plans to destroy his son’s marriage.
His early success with blonde bombshell Diane was brought to a halt when Tony returned from his horrifying deal on Breda McQueen’s pig farm, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying to undermine his son ever since.
Next week, Diane confides in Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) about how she had a secret fling with father in law Edward when Tony was missing.

Leela tells Diane that she is better off keeping quiet about her affair if she wants to keep Tony in her life.
Deciding to take her pal’s advice and focusing on the future, Diane spends some quality time with Tony, leaving Edward seething as he hates seeing them so happy.
Later in the week, Verity turns up at Diane’s flat for a catch-up with her dad.
Edward then cunningly makes a romantic meal for Tony and Dian to support their reunion.

However, once he’s alone with Verity, he confesses that it’s all an act and he wants to steal Diane back from Tony.
Mischievous Verity certainly isn’t standing in Edward’s way on this one, so he ploughs ahead to make Diane jealous by flaunting his relationship with Marnie Nightingale (Lynette Anthony).
After telling cafe owner Marnie that he doesn’t want anything serious, Edward makes a point of showing Diane how much he’s enjoying his carefree romance.

Meanwhile fans of the Channel 4 soap can expect a romantic element to Verity’s return too, as there’s still a spark between her and Sami Maalik (Rishi Nair) when they come reunite in the village.
Verity helps Sami with a legal case and impresses James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) with her straight-talking too.
Fans will have to stay tuned to see what drama Verity brings to the village.
Hollyoaks airs weekdays on Channel 4 at 6.30pm followed by first look episode on E4 at 7pm
