Kyle Pryor has promised "a lot of tension" between Laurie and Sinead Shelby after their unsettling kiss.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ star has opened up about his character becoming forceful with his on-screen wife – played by Stephanie Davis – during Monday’s (18.02.19) first look screening on E4, which left her with a bruise on her wrist in shocking scenes.
Kyle told Digital Spy: "It’s a traumatic situation for Sinead. But to a certain degree, it’s a grey area where Sinead doesn’t know whether that was a one-off or not, or whether it will happen again.
"It’s a terrible act, but you don’t really know at this point whether it’s something that is going to continue.
"There is a lot of tension after it, but it’s unclear as to what exactly happened in that situation – and whether it’s something that Laurie has a history of doing."
In tonight’s episode, Sinead will show Laurie – who she has accused of having an affair with Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) – the bruise and tell him how he hurt her, but her husband acts shocked.
The latest development comes after Kyle previously admitted Laurie is enjoying Sinead’s jealousy regarding the time he spends with Sienna.
He recently said: "It’s something that Laurie does enjoy. Again, it’s a power struggle and he enjoys being in control.
"There’s a lot of gaslighting and emotional and psychological manipulation that’s occurring here. Anytime Sinead is jealous, he will act aggressively."
‘Hollyoaks’ airs weeknights on Channel 4 at 6.30pm, with first look screenings broadcast at 7pm on E4.
