Toby Mills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toby Mills is a fictional character from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, portrayed by Henry Luxembourg.
He is a serial killer who preyed on young blonde girls with an ajustable wrench, after having arguments with his girlfriend, Ellie Hunter. Throughout his story arc on the show, he killed around 11 girls between July 2002 and October 2003, and attacked one of the show's main characters, Steph Dean, leaving her epileptic.
Mills blamed his homicidal compulsions on his wife, Ellie, claiming that seeing her with other men sent him into violent, jealous rages. It is later revealed that he was coddled all his life by his mother, who didn't see or chose not to acknowledge her son was a violent psychopath. Accordingly, Mills is unwilling to take any responsibility for his monstrous actions; After murdering Roxy, one of the show's main characters, he looked into the mirror and, seemingly, argued with himself, saying "That wasn't me - someone else did that" and "Toby is a good boy."
Mills was killed in the late-night special Hollyoaks: Leap of Faith, when he took Ellie to the top of a building and threatened to throw himself and her from the roof. Ellie's brother, Dan, arrived on the scene soon after to rescue his sister, and tried to push him away from her, sending him off the roof. Mills was hit by a car as he hit the ground.
The killer in this particular storyline was not revealed to be Mills until April 22, 2003, when Roxy was killed on screen by a hooded figure who had already murdered three girls. The camera panned down to reveal Mills as the killer.
