Hollyoaks Relief all round for viewers who want Esther's bullies to get their comeuppance - magazine reports have revealed that the week beginning Monday, February 4 will be a big one as Ruby and Sinead's guilt is revealed.

Ruby has been tipped to face "grave danger" herself in the episodes, but will there be justice for Esther?

Glad there will be a comeuppance for Ruby and Sinead, justice for Esther and that everyone finally finds out the turmoil that poor Esther has gone through.

HO can't let them two get off easily and they need to show just how badly their actions have affected Esther. I am glad that the storyline is trying to convince more bullying victims to come forward and seek help too, it has been a compelling storyline and hard to watch at times but I actually think HO does these kind of things better than the top 3 soaps.

Jazmine Franks has been amazing as Esther too, plus Anna Shaffer and Stephanie Davis and everyone else involved in the storyline. Anna and Steph got some OTT abuse on Twitter which isn't fair when they are doing their job and are not bullies in real life, they are lovely and HO isn't real so it's a shame some people cannot seperate reality from fiction!

Spoilers from What's On TV too for the big week of the bullying of Esther reveal (FINALLY) starting from the first week of February:

Spoiler:

Monday

Tilly is disgusted by Ruby and Sinead's heartlessness towards Esther. She also hates Jen for what she's made her become and decides to tell the truth - the whole truth! When Mr. Keeler spots the sixth formers arguing he summons them all to his office and suspends one of them...

Tilly is shocked when he questions her about harassing Miss Gilmore and she gets expelled. She swears to make sure Jen gets exactly what she deserves, but can Jen stop her?

Meanwhile, George is concerned about Phoebe and urges her to tell someone when she opens up about Davies. She attempts to tell Jacqui, but feels pushed out by a large Theresa-shaped crisis!. Will she ever fit in?

Elsewhere, Brendan helps Leah with her school project but there is trouble brewing when Seamus joins them. And will Ste lie to Amy about Doug?

Tuesday

Liam accidentally smashes Leah's project and Brendan can't control his anger anymore, just as Doug returns - bad timing! Ste is shocked to hear Doug's back in the village. They finally come face to face and Doug seems happier than ever. Will Ste regret his decision?

Phoebe is struggling to be heard in the McQueens. When she is suspended from college, she tries to hide it from the family but John Paul finds out and offers his help...

Back at the McQueens, there's another cat out of the bag when Jacqui is left reeling after she discovers her Mum's secret!

Elsewhere, Mitzeee pushes Brendan on his past, and at Chez Chez an argument with Mitzeee leads to a shock confession from him about his childhood. With the truth laying heavy on Jen's conscious, can she bring herself to expose it and risk her career?

Wednesday

Brendan is shaken up after Doug's surprise arrival and worries about his relationship with Ste. Later, it's Ste's turn to be rattled when Brendan questions his commitment but can he reveal the truth to Amy?

Following yesterday's revelations, Jacqui rallies the McQueens into action but is shocked when Carmel turns up with a disastrous plan. They all scramble to pull together as much cash as they can, before the bailiffs arrive and are relieved when Carmel announces she's got some savings. But the dizzy blonde's got other plans for the dosh...

Meanwhile, Theresa proves she's more than just a pretty face, but has Dodger got more than he bargained for?

Also, Ash and Barney plan a party for Will, but there's a spanner in the works when they hear he won't be allowed out of hospital.

Thursday

Ash and Barney are still determined to plan a party for Will. When they hear he won't be allowed out of hospital, they decide to break him out instead. They disguise him as an old woman and escape with him in a wheelchair. Back at the boat, Will realises it's not exactly wheelchair friendly...

Mitzeee is interviewing for new barmen, but when Brendan gets rid of everyone apart from newcomer Kevin, it looks like he's got the job. Kevin texts 'Dad', prompting an immediate call back. Who is is?

Phoebe continues to feel pushed out. She steals 50 pounds from the cash tin and goes to The Dog to tell Jacqui she's leaving. However, all hell breaks loose when Rob gropes the teen and they end up in a bar brawl. Will the McQueens end up in a prison cell together?

Also, Dirk has a bright idea to raise some money for a new place...

Friday

Will's overwhelmed with the surprise party at The Dog - all attention on him again! He invites Texas, but the whole pub turns against her and she leaves. Inside the pub, it's getting out of control. Ash and the rugby team spin Will around on the dance floor as the McQueens start a bar brawl and get arrested.

Ash is concerned when Will goes missing in the chaos. The Savages race around, trying to find missing Will. We see an abandoned wheelchair on its side, but no occupant...

It's up to Jim McGinn to save the McQueens again when they're locked in a prison cell, but he's frustrated when they all take the blame for the brawl. Jim gets them all off the hook, but they return home to a nasty surprise...

Meanwhile, as John Paul struggles with the pressure of being a job-seeking single parent, a shock visit turns his world upside down.

Also, Mr. Keeler is sacked when the governors realise how much he has failed the school and Esther.

Hello! Are you looking forward to Walker return? I hope he stays!

[bbfan1991]

Hello Vanessa. Yes I am looking forward to Walker's return, although I cannot see him sticking around.

I hope Bryan Kirkwood creates the next new villiains of Hollyoaks though!

Omg! Is Kevin Walker son?

[bbfan1991]

Hollyoaks rose to 1.35m (5.7%) at 6.30pm on Channel 4 as bullied teen Esther Bloom made a suicide attempt, before E4's first look screening piled on viewers with 1.11m (4.6%) at 7pm and 135k (0.5%) on +1 - the highest E4 figures since the climax to the Silas serial killer storyline in 2011

OMG fantastic ratings for Hollyoaks, so deserved too.

I've always liked Esther and the actress is great! Kevin kind of looks a bit like Walker!

[bbfan1991]

Unless Dr Browning is replacing Brendan, new power couple being him and Mercedes?

[MeMyselfAndI]

A new bad girl, there has been too many bad boys since Warren came back and a lack of out and out bad girls since Clare got sent to prison.

[bbfan1991]

Is it true that Kieron Richardson said on his radio show that Ste's scally side is coming back?

I am glad that Doug comes back with a different frame of mind and is determined to get over Ste, they will probably end up together when Brendan leaves ugh and I am not even keen on the Stendan thing now as it is.

Just a weird coincidence.

Not really. Hollyoaks is so filmed in advance that sometimes big events happen and storylines must go on.

Although the Loretta being a child killer storyline got scrapped because of the big furore about it and got a badly rewritten plot culminating in her exit.

[Me. I Am Salman]

amazing ratings, well done Hollyoaks

But they do film out of sequence sometimes.

Mercy to me is not an out and out bad girl like Clare was. She has done some bad things recently, but she has her vulnerable side too.

I think a new villain to fill Brendan's shoes will be great!

I agree! I think they will find someone and he'll be a great villain.

I hope so tbh! Would make it even more exciting, especially if Brendan got to Kevin & repaid what Walker did to Brendans son

Ste would be really mad at Brendan if he did that.

[Legend killer]

Brendan cannot be replaced he cannot be pinned to one category ie: Villain because he is such a 3 dimensional character but they can get stronger pieces in other areas to help leave the void he will ultimately leave behind

When HO is on top form ie: last 2 episodes it really does put the other soaps to shame

PS: One day left to vote for HO at the NTA'S so get voting

The only actor who could replace Emmett is Neil Newbon. He is truly amazing and Walker is a hell of a character!
