Hollyoaks viewers were finally granted the answer to a burning question as the true identity of the enigmatic 'J' was revealed, sparking an electrifying new plot involving village villain Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey).

The Channel 4 soap had hinted at the mysterious character when Rex explained that Curtis Royle (Reuben Shepherd) and Lexi Roscoe (Marnie Fletcher) were behind an imaginary friend they called 'J'.

They slipped notes into his bag, creating a channel for clandestine communication. However, audiences were left on edge when a shadowy figure was seen penning a note as 'J', pleading: ⁘I am still trapped in the house – please come soon.⁘

During Wednesday's (November 20) episode, which viewers can stream on Channel 4, the curtain was lifted as Rex confronted the actual author at his home. Annoyed, Rex sternly addressed him, ⁘What have I told you about this, Jacob? You slipping little notes into my bag has caused me a lot of trouble.⁘

The young writer, newcomer Jacob (Ethaniel Davy) responded with a heartfelt: ⁘I miss my friends Rex. I'm lonely here. I haven't stepped foot out of this place since I got here.⁘,only to be interrupted by a woman named Kat, who walked in exclaiming, ⁘Not again Jacob.⁘

Rex opened the front door to show Jacob he wasn't trapped, stating: ⁘You can leave, feel free. I'm not going to stop you but you know how much danger you are in outside these walls don't you.⁘

Kat chimed in: ⁘Course he does. Don't you Jacob⁘ before expressing her gratitude to Rex: ⁘Look, I'm so grateful Rex for keeping us safe. We both are. Aren't we?⁘ As Jacob nodded, Rex reassured him: ⁘Well I know you don't like it here mate, but you ain't got to worry. You ain't going to be here for much longer.⁘

Jonny Labey, who has portrayed Rex since June this year, shared some insights into what viewers can anticipate as the thrilling storyline unfolds. He revealed: ⁘We're introduced to Jacob and Kat, played by fantastic actors Sonia and Ethaniel, and they are a huge link to Rex's past.
