Abigail Matthews is set to be left heartbroken in upcoming Hollyoaks scenes ahead of a harrowing new storyline. The new character was brought into the soap as Dee Dee Hutchinson's drugs counsellor, and soon found herself swept into drama when she hooked up with Cleo McQueen. Abigail puts on a brave face in front of Cleo, but she breaks down in the pub bathroom which is overheard by troubled teen Dee Dee. It comes ahead of a devastating grooming storyline in the soap in which Abigail will abuse her position of power over Dee Dee. The hard-hitting new story will see Abigail manipulate the grieving teen, striking up a "friendship" with Dee Dee and strengthening their bond when the school term begins in September.
