Hollyoaks airs more upsetting scenes in Cleo and Abe plot
Abe Fielding has been manipulating and pressuring Cleo into starting a family with him, even when she expresses she's not ready.
He made snide comments about her eating habits and then suggested they have a baby, which led to Cleo fainting.
When Cleo asked for time to consider having a baby, Abe tried to guilt and pressure her, accusing her of not wanting a child with him.
In a upsetting scene, Abe physically forced Cleo to eat lunch at The Dog, warning her not to embarrass him in public again.
Cleo revealed she was struggling with their open relationship, and when she returned home, Abe had hired a male escort, claiming it was to make their relationship "equal" again.
This is clearly an abusive and controlling situation, with Abe using various manipulation tactics to pressure Cleo into decisions she's not comfortable with.
The storyline raises serious concerns about Cleo's safety and wellbeing, and it remains to be seen if she will be able to get away from Abe's sinister plans.
