Hollyoaks’ Grace Dives Headfirst into Dangerous Gamble in Mercedes Blackmail Scandal
Grace Black is set to take a huge risk while being blackmailed by Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks.
After the soap skipped forward in time, it was revealed brothers Freddie and Robbie Roscoe were locked in a custody battle over Freddie’s daughter Lexi.
While Freddie served time in prison, Robbie was granted temporary custody of Lexi and is now fighting his brother for full custody as he deems him not fit to be a dad.
The loss of Lexi has destroyed Freddie, not least because Robbie blamed Freddie for Lexi developing epilepsy after Freddie left his daughter with Grace’s son Curtis so he could support Mercedes in the hospital during her cancer treatment.
She confessed what she knew to Mercedes, and after Freddie had to inform Mercedes he could no longer source the chemotherapy drugs she needed, Mercedes is blackmailing Grace to procure them instead or she will tell Freddie what she knows.
In scenes set to air next week, Mercedes needs a huge favour from Grace as she tells her she is desperate.
While pressuring Grace to illegally secure her cancer drugs, Mercedes reminds Grace that they both have something to lose if she does not.
