Hollyoaks, after putting her into a coma earlier this month. Edward has got an injunction against Tony seeing Diane because he has made police believe that his son was responsible for attacking her. In Thursday's (December 17) first-look episode, Tony (Nick Pickard) confronted Edward (Joe McGann) over Kurt's warning that his dad was the most dangerous conman he'd ever met. Lime Pictures "Kurt Benson deals in lies and innuendo. He will have had an agenda just like the rest of his petty schemes," his father insisted. Tony called on his sister Verity (Eva O'Hara) to distract Edward for the afternoon, so he could visit Diane (Alex Fletcher) at the hospital in secret.
