HOLLYOAKS SPOILER - Cindy's mystery man revealed, and it's a total jaw dropper!

Last night in E4's first look Hollyoaks, Cindy's 'mystery man' was revealed to be her ex-boyfriend Rhys Ashworth.

The only trouble is - Rhys is dead.

Cindy sees Rhys in her imagnation

In a heartbreaking plot, which will see Cindy suffer from bipolar disorder, Rhys is back for a number of Hollyaosk episodes, as a figment of Cindy's imagination, as she begins her emotional journey.

Andy Moss, who plays Rhys, has given an interview with Digital Spy, where he chats about his shock return to the soap.

Cindy has had a testing few months - after being embroiled in covering up Dr Browning's murder with Lindsay and Mercedes, to having Browning's baby son prematurely, to having to cope with her little boy's health problems.

Troubled Cindy is suffering with Bipolar Disorder

Hollyoaks is never one to shy away from hard-hitting and, at times, taboo, subjects - which is why, I believe, it was crowned Britain's Best Soap at the awards this year.

Andy Moss told Digital Spy:

"Rhys represents her [Cindy's] bad thoughts... It starts off quite light as Cindy sees Rhys and she still believes that they're having an affair, but then over time it becomes quite dark."

Tune in to Hollyoaks tonight, on Channel , at 6.30pm to see Ryhs' return or E4 at 7pm to get a first look at what happens next.
