ERIC Foster has struggled to find his mark in Chester since he first rocked up the village in March, 2022.
However, he takes things too far by dragging young Mason into his troubles. Get the lowdown on the upcoming Hollyoaks drama.
1. Eric goes on a date
Making friends hasn't been Eric Foster's (Angus Castle-Doughty) strong point, as shown in recent months.
And when Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) approaches him with the idea of a blind date with Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), it takes a lot of convincing before he eventually agrees to give it a shot.
But when the pair finally meet in upcoming scenes of the Channel 4 soap, Eric struggles to keep his extreme views in check at the dinner table.
Understandably put off, Maxine makes the decision to not pursue anything romantic with Eric and suggests they stay friends – causing him to bite back.
