Hollyoaks confirms seriously dark twist as Clare Devine commits her cruelest act
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday's (June 18) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm.
Gemma Bissix certainly wasn't kidding when she told me earlier this month that we'd see Clare Devine as we never have done before, with a shock new story kicking off.
Legendary Hollyoaks schemer Clare has made quite a splash since returning from the dead, clashing with sister Grace Black (Tamara Wall) and ordering her death, threatening Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) and making an enemy of Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).
It's not even been a month yet since she returned. Getting on the wrong side of that many people is an impressive feat – even for Clare!
With adopted daughter Tori (Harriet O'Shea) now back in the care of the Blakes and Sienna refusing to let her visit, Clare was determined to do whatever it takes to win her daughter back.
Simply put: Nothing will stand in her way.
Following her multiple attempts to kill Grace – who gave Tori back to the Blakes – Clare headed to the hospital during Wednesday's offering of the long-running drama, dressed in black on the day of Alistair Banks' (Drew Cain) funeral.

Donny Clark (Louis Emerick), however, refused to let her see Grace, suspecting that the once-thought-to-be-dead villain was up to no good where her sister was concerned.
As Clare waited in the waiting room, she witnessed numerous patients receiving treatment for cancer, which left her with food for thought.
Soon afterwards, she pretended to bump into Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) and informed him that she has been diagnosed with cancer – and the chemo isn't working. She produced a single strand of hair which she claimed had fallen out of her head.
Sienna couldn't get her head around Clare's diagnosis, believing it to be a ploy to get what she wants. If anyone is equipped to know how Clare's brain is hardwired, it's Sienna, who urged Dodger to see that she was simply lying to get her own way.

Dodger wasn't so sure and thus he decided to investigate. Clare, meanwhile, saw an opportunity to make her lie all the more convincing, wearing a headscarf as she picked up a few groceries from Price Slice, which Dodge helped her carry home.
Ever the hero.
Back at the flat, Clare asked Dodger if he'd help her shave her head, which he ultimately did. A flicker of a spark seemed to develop between the two and Dodger told Clare that he'd ensure she gets time to see Tori given her prognosis.
Clare smiled into the mirror, her mission having firmly been accomplished. The question is: will her secret be exposed? More Trending
It seems to be a bit of a long-runner, with series star Gemma telling Metro last week: 'There's a big, big storyline coming up where Clare dupes the whole village.
'You'll see Clare in a way you've never seen her before – completely stripped back.'
