Hollyoaks fans were left heartbroken tonight as Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) found out he has a brain tumour. During Monday's first look episode on E4, Tony suffered a seizure after his evil father Edward (Joe McGann) spiked his drink during a family lunch.
In an attempt to mend his relationship with his long-lost sister Verity (Eva O'Hara), Tony invited her to a lunch to celebrate her business merger with Sami Maalik and James Nightingale.
After learning Verity already had plans with Edward, Tony extended an invitation to their father. Taking to opportunity to cause more trouble, a scheming Edward spiked his son's drink during the meal, causing him to have seizure and collapse.
