Hollyoaks viewers have a strong hunch that Tommy Odenkirk is harbouring a massive secret, and they believe they’ve cracked it.
In recent episodes aired on Channel 4, viewers were introduced to the village’s new therapist as Leela Dexter, played by Kirsty-Leigh Porter, seeks professional guidance for her tumultuous emotions following a sexual assault.
During a therapy session, Tommy’s actions raised eyebrows when he attempted to kiss Leela as she shared her marital woes – a move which led her to terminate any further sessions.
The plot took another sinister turn at a charity event in the Loft, where attendees, including Joel, received mobile phone footage of Leela’s rape sent by Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti), causing her to flee from the venue in agony. A lurking Tommy was spotted nearby, tipping off viewers that he might be orchestrating this cruel act of retribution.
Subsequently, a scene ambiguously revealing Tommy’s ‘World’s Best Brother’ mug has sparked theories among fans suggesting that he could share blood ties with Leela’s former spouse, Cameron Campbell (played by Cameron Moore), who is the dad of Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) and is serving time for a multitude of crimes.

One fan speculated on social media: “I reckon Tommy might be related to Cameron and that is why he is obsessed with Leela #hollyoaks.”, reports the Liverpool Echo. Another fan chimed in with their theory: “Okay so I’m trying to figure out who this therapy is… this may be very far fetched what it if he’s Cameron’s brother?”.
Hollyoaks enthusiasts are buzzing with theories over Tommy’s true identity. One viewer speculated: “So we can agree that Tommy may/may not be another one of Abe’s brothers? #Hollyoaks @Hollyoaks.” Another chimed in: “I think Tommy’s Abe’s brother.”

Meanwhile, a third watcher remarked: “Loved seeing more Tommy on screen in last nights #Hollyoaks great stuff from Brandon Fellows. Anyone else think he has a connection to Abe and is trying to ruin leela sending everyone that video of what Abe did to her.”
In the next episodes, Joel Dexter decides it’s time to step up for his wife Leela. But when she finds Tommy at home and a row erupts with Joel, Tommy unexpectedly takes Leela’s side, pushing for Joel to listen to his wife.

Taking Tommy’s advice, Leela makes up her mind to continue with her therapy sessions. As they talk, Tommy suggests Joel might also benefit from counselling, but Leela rejects the idea, confessing she enjoys having something that’s hers alone.
Brandon Fellows, the newest addition to the Hollyoaks crew, expressed his enthusiasm about his role, stating: “I’m excited to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks playing the role of Tommy.
“A friendly and unique therapist with a dark side and a complicated family history. I’m looking forward for the fans to see this character’s secrets unravel.”
