Lindsey (Sophie Austin) isn’t just a scheming murderess; the Gloved Hand Killer is also hellbent on destroying Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callaghan) and Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe)’s relationship.
After enjoying a one-night stand with her ex-fiancée, Lindsey truly believed that Joe was going to give their relationship another go.
But, when he left her for Mercedes, the serial killer was left furious… and desperately tried to bump off Mercedes with a syringe, just like she did the rest of her victims.
"When Joe discovers she is planning on having an abortion he confronts her"
When that didn’t work, Lindsey was left heartbroken and desperate for a way to win Joe back.
Now, according to sources, she may have found exactly what she was looking for.
Stealing a used pregnancy testing device from the hospital, Lindsey leaves it for Joe to stumble across.
When he challenges her, the manipulative medic breaks down into crocodile tears,claiming that she is pregnant and that the father is someone from work – leaving Joe convinced the baby could be his.
A source told the Daily Star: “Joe is determined to find out whether he is the father.
“And when he discovers she is planning on having an abortion he confronts her.”
The insider continued: “He doesn’t believe the father is someone from work and asks if there’s a chance it could be his.
“But Joe is just playing into Lindsey’s hands because there is no pregnancy.”
And it seems as if Lindsey’s lies could have dire consequences for Joe and Mercedes.
“With Joe believing he is the father, it doesn’t look good for him and Mercedes,” the source finished.
It seems as if Joe, desperate to become a father, will be willing to do anything to stop Lindey from going through with an abortion.
But would he really split with Mercedes for her?
And, more importantly, what will he do when he learns the truth?
The drama is set to unfold on Tuesday 19th January on Channel 4.
