THERE is sure to be plenty of drama coming up in Hollyoaks.
Nadine Mulkerrin, 31, has played the role of Cleo McQueen in the long-running Channel 4 soap since 2014.
Her character has been engulfed in a major domestic abuse storyline with her boyfriend Abe (Tyler Conti).
In recent months, viewers have seen him grow more abusive and controlling in the relationship.
This initially led to serious consequences as his little brother Arlo attacked their mum.
Last month, he even worried that she would start to drift from the relationship if she was promoted in her career as a nurse.
When she found out that she secured the senior position, her boyfriend didn’t even congratulate her on her good news.
New pictures from the set sees tension come to a head as the pair fight in the street.
The actors were spotted in Liverpool filming the dramatic scenes of Hollyoaks in casual costume clothing.
Nadine was dressed in a grey jacket, a purple top, and baggy jeans as she attempted to wrestle an important item from her on-screen boyfriend.
In return, Tyler was dressed in a bright orange hoodie and white jeans as he refused to even let the helmet – and the relationship – go.
It seemed like it was a complete stand-off between the warring pair as she broke free his coercive control.
She was then seen hurrying to escape his clutches on a motorcycle and drive away into the sunset.
He ran after his love before she made her getaway, and he couldn’t help but collapse to the floor in despair.
But after the cameras stopped rolling, it was a completely different scenario off-screen.
