What. A. Twist.
Silas killed his own daughter Heidi! #EpicMurderFail.
We’re so conflicted – on the one hand, Lynsey’s still alive; on the other – Heidi’s gone.
He looked genuinely gutted when he realised what he’d done…
…The gloves are off, anything could happen now…
Is he gonna hand himself in? Is he gonna go on a murdering rampage? What do you think?
"Please tell me you're lying..."
Poor Mercedes. Remember her? She's still locked in the dungeon. And by the sounds of this week's teaser, Silas is going to tell her something she doesn't want to hear:
What has he told her? Who will he kill on Fright Night? Will Mercedes ever be saved? So many questions - we need to see Hollyoaks NOW!
Fright Night continues on Monday - 6.30pm Channel 4.

Who is Silas' next victim? Guess now!
With only days to go until Fright Night, Lynsey must have eaten a LOT of cheese the night she had the FREAKIEST dream in the history of Hollyoaks:
It starts off innocently enough (for the 'Oaks anyway): a record player playing a sinister tune. Silas (the DJ) in his latex murder gloves. Bothered.
She sees Theresa and Texas. She tries to speak to them, but no sound comes out of her mouth! That's a 1 out of 10 on the scary scale, we hear you say. Yes, but then Texas smiles and her teeth are black! Didn't see that coming...
Then we cut to Silas again - counting his murder trinkets. Note how many there are! We know of four victims (including his wife Joan) but there are FIVE trinkets here. FIVE! Can we wake up now?
Black teeth, serial killers...Okay we can deal with that. At least it's not something proper pant-wettingly scary, like a clown. Oh.
What's scarier than a clown? A close up of a clown. Mummy.
Will. Never. Sleep. Again.

Fright Night: Do you want to play a game?
Silas engaged Lynsey in a deadly game of chess this week, with the chilling ultimatum 'You have until Halloween'...
The stakes: the life of a young girl.
Which girl? We don't know yet.There are four strong candidates though...
From left-to-right: Texas, Theresa, Amy, Lynsey...
All have a checkered history. Could they be about to get taken out of the game?
Can Lynsey ptrotect her (Mc)Queen?
Have we laboured the chess symbology enough yet?

So Sam, Dan, Louis, Laurence and Matt have hopped into their ice-cream van and sped away into the night. Their destination? London town, and the big time.
Here's the thing, Daytona Lights are a real life band. So while on-screen they've had a bit of good luck with Michaela's help, off-screen they're doing pretty damn well too...
Formed in the Dickensian East End of London, they've forged their own brand of shoegaze indie-pop, making play with intelligent lyrics and emotive melodies. Here's their debut single Lillian, now available to buy on itunes HERE.
Their brilliant debut album, 'The Modern Landscape' is available to buy in stores (and on itunes) now. If you like catchy melodic songs which make your feet twitch then this ones for you...
Dan Lawrence - Lead Vocals/Acoustic Guitar
In many ways the father-figure of the group. We first saw him and Sam take to the stage at the SU bar's open mic night. They were impressed enough after seeing Laurence and Louis play the same venue that they agreed to form one super-group.
Laurence Saywood - Bass/Vocals
If Dan's the Dad of the band, then Laurence is probably the mother...not that they have some kind of romantic relationship, just that it always seems to be Laurence who has to nag the rest of the boyos to get their acts together...
He and Louis arrived in town in an ice-cream van after leaving their former band following some indiscretions between Louis and a band-mate's sister...
Louis Souyave - Lead Guitar/Vocals
Lead guitarist Louis came onto the show with Laurence. On-screen he's the ladies man out of the group and a bit of a card, some might say.
Sam Fordham - Drums/Vocals
Sam threw his toys out and left the band after they decided to ditch his girlfriend Michaela from their line-up. What a gent.
But thankfully he saw sense and realised where he belongs - sat right behind those drums with his four band of brothers. Hurrah!
Read more about Sam and Michaela's rocky romance
Sam was up for bad boyfriend of the year - read about his not-so-romantic antics here
Matt Gill - Guitar/Trombone/Vocals
Finally, meet Matt. You probably recognise him as the Mr. handy-man about town. From mending the heaters at the SU to clearing out Leanne's drains, if there's a problem that needs fixing, he's your man.
He's also a top multi-instrumentalist and vocalist on the quiet. Now he's together with the other four there'll be no stopping 'em...

It's only the beginning for Daytona Lights...

Winter might be drawing in, but there is someone we can always rely on to brighten these dark nights - and that someone is the delectable Dodger.
Here's five reasons why we love the sexy Mr Savage:
1. He's the best barman EVER
Whether it's offering "advice of the heart...and of the body" to lovelorn students, letting Bart have a sneaky pint or simply looking HOT AS, Dodger makes it less SU Bar and more SU Phwoar. Just don't buy any electrical goods off him.
2. He likes to take his top off. A lot.
3. He loves his bro
They may have briefly fallen out a couple of weeks ago but the Savage brothers are bezzies again - Dodger dishing out relationship advice (and condoms) to hapless Will. Aww.
4. He's a gent
Think Dodger is nothing more than letchy lothario? WRONG. Note how he refused to take advantage of a drunken Amy. Admittedly, he did suggest to Ash that they get up to naughtiness in the SU Bar toilets - but in his defence, Ash 'Riley' likes that kind of thing #seewhatwedidthere.
5. Did we mention that he takes his top off?

I wanna be a part of it, New York, New York (etc)…
The prodigal son of Chester is off again. Sob!
Yep, the Hunter has been head-hunted by a top New York P.R firm, and with that, he’s off…
Of course, this isn’t the first time he’s left us. Remember when he came back after a stint doing Gareth Gates impersonations on a cruise ship (an incident still referred to as Gareth-Gate)…
Let’s take a look back at the story of his second tenancy in the Hollyoaks village:
He returned to us all loved-up last year with brand new fiancé Leanne in tow. Look at their stupid, doe-eyed faces. But is that cynicism from Cheryl? Surely not - how could this not be the real deal?
Ah, turns out cynicism was indeed the correct response. Fast-forward to Leanne jilting Lee at the altar...
Where one door closes though, another opens and, from the ashes of #Lee-anne was born #Lamy...
Highlights of their relationship include the time they landed a pair of 'sausage roles' in a hot-dog. Ever the adult, here's Leanne showing her appreciation for their efforts...
It wasn't always bad blood and psychotic mind-games between Lee and his ex though. Look at them being all cute here. Lee loved that table-cloth shirt...
In the end, where Leanne failed to tear Lamy apart, the other mistress turned out to be New York...
We, for one, don't think it will be the same without him. But what's your fave Lee Hunter memory...share below:
Last night Silas told Lynsey she has until Halloween to guess the identity of his next victim. Well, Fright Night just got a little bit more frightening...
Our very own Grim Reaper has surrounded himself with four sexy catsuit clad Hollyoaks lovelies for #FrightNight. What's the score here then? We've got...
What does this MEAN? Is one of these sexy kitties his next victim? Only time will tell - and time is running out. Let's hope cats really do have nine lives...
Do you dare to play Silas' game? Read his latest clue and guess the identity of his next victim
Related posts:
When Silas challenged Lynsey to play a game we naively hoped the game in question would be a jolly round of Jenga. But no, Silas has something far more sinister in mind: there's one girl left in the village in need of his "assistance" and Lynsey has until midnight on Halloween to work out who it is - and she only gets one guess.
Eek.
That's a lot of responsibility for our plucky Irish ex-nurse, so we thought we'd try and help her decipher Silas' cunning clues:
Clue 1:
This girl has proved lucky in the art of escape, but her luck runs out the longer you take.
Er thanks for that, Silas. If he means escape justice - step forward gun-toting murderess Theresa. If he means death, then that puts a whole host of lovely ladies on his hit list (Mitzeee, Sinead and Amy to name but a few). Or his he trying to tell us that one of our Hollyoaks honeys is the next David Blaine? Hmm... We're gonna need a bigger clue.
Clue 2:
Any clue I give, would be as much use to you as the fourth Sunday in Lent would be to her.
Now then, we got our Dan Brown heads on for this one, and apparently the fourth Sunday in Lent is called 'Rose Sunday'. Only problem is, we have absolutely no idea what significance that has...there isn't anyone in the village called 'Rose' is there...?
He did mention a 'little Angel'. Who could that mean? Hmmm...hang on, he's not, no, he wouldn't...he isn't going to try and hurt Kathleen Angel is he?! If he hurts one hair on that baby's head...!
Clue 3:
If you want to know who’s going to lose her head, look to the girl who’s in someone else’s bed.
Now then, Hollyoaks isn't short of bed-hoppers, so this clue has thrown up a few strong possibilities...
(i) First there's our Liberty. The Savage family arrived in town in a mobile home and, as far as we're aware, she still doesn't have a fixed post-code...is Silas really going to kill her on the grounds that she doesn't pay council tax though? Hmmm...
(ii) Then there's student metal-head Ash. She seems to spend all her time dossing in other people's gaffs. Mind you, technicality it's someone else's couch that she gets her head down on, so I suppose that rules her out...
(iii) Then there's our Amy. She almost made it into Dodger's bed tonight. Is Amy about to 'lose her head'?
Clue 4:
Closer than you think.
Well Silas, you really have surpassed yourself with this little clue. What on earth does it mean?
Bearing in mind that the Hollyoaks' Village only seems to have around fifty people in it...who isn't close by? Or does he mean that Lynsey is close to the right answer with her guesses of Texas and Theresa? Who knows. Does Silas even know?
Tonight's episode was all kinds of frustrating. Here are just a few things that had us shouting at the television.
1.Theresa refusing to believe Lynsey.
2. Cheryl refusing to believe Lynsey.
3. Everyone refusing to believe Lynsey (with the exception, of course, of the lovely Doug)
Most frustrating of all though, we're still no closer to knowing who Silas' victim is! Aaaarghh! It's just too much now!
No clues from the old rascal tonight either, but all four of our prime suspects did have close encounters.
Plus, Texas did turn up to Cheryl's #FrightNight party wearing the same catsuit outfit that Silas had given Lynsey to wear. Not only does this rank as a major fashion faux pas (#awkward), but it also seems oddly coincidental. What does it mean though? Why would Silas want them both wearing the same outfit? We need answers!

We thought Silas was scary enough when he was just a rope-wielding serial killer who keeps pregnant women locked up in dungeon. But we're not sure we can cope with the sight of him as the Grim Reaper. It is, frankly, TOO TERRIFYING FOR WORDS:
*shudders*
Why the costume? Well, make sure you watch Hollyoaks this week, when Silas challenges Lynsey to a deadly Halloween game. It's going to be a scream. Literally:

#ShowMercy - A plea for the life of Mercedes Fisher
Warren gave Brendan a chilling warning this week when he told him he had 'a lot of friends' inside. Not that it phased old steely-faced Brendan like...
This got us thinking though - Warren seems to have a lot of contacts on his phone. Just look at this, below:
Remember Honey -Warren's lap-dancing friend?
As well as stripping for stag-do's she also boasts 'sleeping with young boys' and 'faking her own death and inflicting psychological torture' on her CV...see her Heathcliff and Cathy moment below:
Now that's service.
In that particular instance though, Warren forgot to ring his old pals at Body Disposal Inc. leaving Riely and Seth to uncover his 'dead-pig-as-dead-body' ruse...
It's not just criminals and con-artists that our Warren fraternises with though. He also has friends in literary circles - like Jonesy, for instance, his publisher mate who put Mitzeee's book on the shelves...
Then there's Warren's show-biz friends, like Jezza K, whom he threatened last week to tell all about Carl's indiscretions.
The list goes on too. We had a scroll through Warren's phone-book and found even more intersting contacts. Remember Rocco? He's always there for gambling japes and general intimidation...
There was a contact for 'Katy', which said 'don't use, probably still angry'...
Under Spencer the text read 'Don't use - still thinks I'm dead'...
Then there was an entry for 'Louise', with the simple note, 'delete'
It's official - Warren Fox is the most well-connected man in Chester! Is there anyone he doesn't have in his phone-book? He even has a direct line to God...
P.S. scrolling through Warren's phone, we did find an interesting entry, for 'PUFFA JACKETS ARE US'? Make of that what you will...
Look at this beautiful face. It may be your last chance if lantern-carving serial killer Silas has got anything to do with it.
But, Silas, can't you see that Mercedes isn't the person you think she is?
Okay, she's prone to the odd indiscretion. Like sleeping with Warren the night before her wedding to Russ. And getting pregnant by Jacqui's boyf Tony. Calvin wasn't the best choice in bed buddies. Oh, and her fling with hubby Malachy's bro Kris was just weird.
And her affair with Carl, the one that broke your grandson's heart, well...as Myra pointed out, Carl Costello rubs himself against anything "like a dirty dog" - Mercedes is simply a victim of his dirty, doggy charms.
Think about what you are doing, Silas. The village simply wouldn't be the same place without Mercedes. She's hot, she's sassy and she rocks bodycon better than anybody else on earth. In the words of her mum she's "an angel wrapped up in a princess". Never a truer word said, Myra. NEVER A TRUER WORD SAID.
So, please, Silas. Let her go. Set her free. SHOW MERCY. Else you'll have us to deal with.
Love Mercedes as much as we do? Tell us why below!

Didn't see THAT coming - the tragic demise of Heidi Costello
Oh I do love a happy ending...
Aaargh! Silas, you evil, enigmatic old blighter, what do you mean ‘happy ending’? One thing’s for sure – what Silas' interpretation of the term 'happy ending' will probably not be the same as ours.
In a chilling exchange tonight, Silas reassured his grandchildren that he was there for them.
If his past form is anything to go by, that means he’s ready to administer some rough justice for the crimes Mercedes has inflicted on his #poorriley.
Is this the final chapter for Riley’s fiancé or will Silas show Mercy?
What exactly is he going to do with her? Leave your thoughts/predictions/messages of condolence below...
Well. What the WAG Wedding lacked in happy endings it more than made up for in OMGness. We're still reeling.
While we wait to see what happens next with the Carl-cross'd lovers, check out this exclusive vid with the gorgeous Jennifer Metcalfe (aka not-so-blushing bride Mercedes) where she tells us all about the Wedding of the Year:

Dearly beloved.
We are gathered here today to witness the joining in holy matrimony of Riley Costello to Mercedes Fisher-formerly-Owen-nee-McQueen.
We're sure you'll join us in wishing them a wonderful future together - afterall, if there's one thing that Hollyoaks weddings can guarantee, it's a happy ending. Right?
Let us look back at Hollyoaks weddings of the past...
Mercedes and Russ
The first of Mercedes' hattrick of weddings was going swimmingly until it was gatecrashed by a vengeful Louise and her mahoosive hat, out to provide Warren with an alibi for an attempted murder rap (which, for once, he didn't do). The alibi? That he'd slept with the bride the night before. Chin up Russ - at least it wasn't your dad.
These two seemed destined to live in wedded bliss. And they did. For all of five minutes. Maybe they're together now though - y'know, in heaven.
Louise and Warren
Louise was the picture of a blushing bride on the day of her winter wedding to Foxy - if 'blushing' means toting a gun, out to kill your cheating hubby-to-be and eventually, er, dead.
Carmel and Calvin (the second time)
Pipping Mercedes to the title of the (Mc)Queen of bad weddings, the fact that her husband ended the day in a body bag was the least of Carmel's worries. Their first dance may have been Dirty Dancing but it soon turned out that Calvin was just plain dirty. We think she dodged a bullet with that one - though the same can't be said for her hubby.
Leave your WAG Wedding comments and Hollyoaks wedding memories below!
It's the day of the #WAGwedding of the century. Anyone else get the feeling that it's not going to be as perfect as Mercedes hopes?
Take a sneaky peak of the big day by watching this EXCLUSIVE vid:
Here's our list of top contenders to let the sordid secret slip on Riley and Mercedes' wedding day.
1. Jacqui McQueen (Chief bridesmaid)
After some nasty words from Mercedes, we're surprised fiesty sister Jacqui managed to bite her tongue. Mercedes taunted Jacqui, saying: "I'm not like you sis, I make my own luck." Will Jacqui pull the plug on Mercedes' fairy tale wedding?
2. Seth Costello (Best Man)
Poor Seth has held on to the secret for so long. He let Warren bribe Carl as a punishment for what he'd done. Tonight he said the words: "Just wait until my best man's speech..." We can't wait to hear what he's got to say.
3. Doug Carter (Best friend of the Groom)
Doug is battling his own conscience and a threatening Warren Fox. We can tell he wants to tell Riley the truth. "Maybe someone should save him from himself," he said. Will Doug find the courage to confess?
4. Carl Costello (Father of the Groom)
Will Carl come clean and tell his son about his affair with the bride-to-be? We doubt it, seeing as though he's just taken thirty grand of his savings to keep Warren quiet. But you never know...
5. Mitzeee (2nd Cousin of the Groom)
After being constantly stung by the Costellos, Mitzeee must be dying to let the secret slip. Carl branded her as a cheap tart last week, today Riley belittled her relationship with Warren. Harsh, especially when she was only trying to help Riley. "If you're not shelling out in heartache you'll be shelling out in pounds," she warned. We've got a sneaky suspicion she's right.
6. Warren Fox (Blackmailer of the Bride)
Warren got half of his £50,000 hush money, with the rest scheduled for after the wedding. And get this, Riley paid 20k for the privelege of being left in the dark. Ouch. Will the bribe 'pay off'? Or will Warren spoil the party anyway? Mitzeee's books are in place at the wedding venue...
Do you think Mercedes and Riley's #WAGwedding will end happily ever after? We're not too sure. Leave us your comments below.
Ordinarily - where our Mercy's concerned at least - Carl's up for a bit of slap n' tickle (see above). However, he was far from tickled this week when she gave him this slap round the chops...
...This was the moment, on Friday night, when Mercy and Carl decided to keep as far apart as possible once the wedding was done...
What do you think - will it be smiles or tears when she walks down the aisle with Carl's son Riley? Tune in at 6:30pm, Monday 17th October to find out...

Here at Hollyoaks HQ we're made up that our favourite Button has finally met a lady deserving of his affections - afterall, our Duncan hasn't had the best luck with women. Crushes on the likes of Suzanne Ashworth, Mitzeee, Mandy and Eva have resulted in little more than a broken heart and, in Eva's case, snogging in a cupboard. Ew.

Guess who's back, back again...Oh yes, it's the one and only Michaela McQueen with her ever-changing hair.
And we've been delving into the diary of the gobbiest girl in the history of Hollyoaks to celebrate her return.
Weds, 26th Nov 2008
She says: Dear Diary, OMG I am amazing, thanks to me the Dirty Diegos are going to be huge. I rock!!
We say: What's going on with that headband? She looks like a helicopter *ROFL-copter*
Mon, 16th Feb 2009
She says: Dear Diary, I really don't get what Carmel's problem is. She needs to get over it, only a genious would think of such an amazing way to steal clothes.
We say: Pretending to be pregnant to shoplift? That's not one of your proudest moments is it Michaela? Once a McQueen always a McQueen...
Mon, 9th Nov 2009
She says: Dear Diary, I cannot believe how much of an idiot Zak is. He is so trying to ruin my career as a professional journalist. I'm not going to forget about this.
We say: If we know Michaela right, he's gonna pay for that. Again...and again...and again.
Wed, 10th March 2010
She says: Dear Diary, I wish Zak would just listen once in a while...(rant continues for seven and a half pages)
We say: Blah, blah, blah. If we've heard it once we've heard it a million times. Poor Zak.
Fri, 7th May 2010
She says: Dear Diary, I had the best night OF MY LIFE! Zak asked me to marry him. It was so romantic and amazing.
We say: Romantic? He's painted green. But he is an incredible hunk (geddit?) so we'll let him off.
Fri, 6th Aug 2010
She says: Dear Diary, I can't believe Zak actually left. Worst day of my life.
We say: 'Don't let go Jac,' cue the Titantic soundtrack. We just can't believe Zachaela is over, it's a tragic day in Hollyoaks land.
Mon, 23rd Aug 2010
She says: Dear Diary, I LOVE MY NEW HAIR. I'm not so sure what mum thought to it though, she kept trying to pull it off like it was a wig or something.
We say: Rihanna must be a real Hollyoaks fan, where else did she get her inspiration from for those bright red locks?
Weds, 6th September 2011
She says: Dear Diary, Michael is driving me mad with his OCD. If he asks me to put a coaster down one more time I'm going to scream. Mum seems to like him though, and his money...
We say: Firstly: Another hair colour. Secondly: What happened to Zak? Loves young dream soon took a turn when a rich man named Michael Jackson (we kid you not) with a villa in Ibiza came along. Thank goodness she refused his marriage proposal. Michael and Michaela Jackson? The priest would of had a field day.
What's your fave Michaela McQueen moment? We want to know, so leave your comments below.
He's the man who puts the OAP in soap serial Killer.
Nevertheless, we’ve noticed that there are a few Silas haters out there. People are using words like ‘boring’ and ‘dragging’ to describe the storyline.
Now, don’t get us wrong – we find him infuriating too. He needs to be stopped. You know what though? You can’t help but admire the man. He just brings a certain…'je ne sais quoi' to the field of serial killing, you know?
Not convinced? Maybe you will be after reading this. Here are ten reasons why we think Silas is The Best Serial Killer Ever:
#1: He has his own murder kit. It includes a good chardonnay and a picnic hamper.
#2: He speaks almost exclusively in chess-based riddles. Here he is baffling the life out of his fave playmate Lynsey. Just look at the be-fuddlement on her face.
#3: He actually organised his own vigil and inquiry into the deaths of India and Jenny. He bleeding killed them!#braveorstupid.
#4: He apparently has the master key to every house in Chester. Lock your doors, it won’t make the slightest bit of difference. Check him out here having a gas round at Lynsey's gaff.
#5: Rather than patronise a gym, he likes to work out in precarious locations like the one above. We call it danger-cise.
#6: He is invincible. Quite an important criteria in the stakes for 'Best Serial Killer Ever', this one. Who else could muster the energy to crawl to an airport and board a plane to France immediately after surviving THAT crushing blow? He even had the fore-thought to pack his case in advance.
#7: He is the only serial killer we can think of who dresses like comic-book character Andy Capp. See more evidence here...
#8: Nor is he afraid to sport a cardigan.
#9: He has the bare-faced cheek to lecture others on the importance of staying safe online. Seriously, the man's neck is actually made of brass.
#10: Finally, the poor old dear has a heart condition, for crying out loud! Doesn't that warrant any sympathy?
…Okay, scratch that last point. The rest still hold water though…
It can't be denied anymore; he's a master of his craft, a leading force in serial killing. So, STOP HATING ON HIM, HATERS. #justsaying.
P.S. We've just heard rumour that Jeff Rawle, who plays Silas, has been contracted until the year 3011, so he's not going anywhere soon...

In this informative chapter, Mitzeee gives tips on how to upstage all manner of social occasions, including fashion shows (confessing to sleeping with your cousin's husband), engagement parties (getting punched by the bride to be) and boy band gigs (arriving naked on a horse). Note this may need to be updated should her plans to ruin the WAG wedding go to plan.
Chapter 8: Britzeee
In our favourite chapter, Double B meets Triple E when our heroine discovers the local badboy’s penchant for angel-faced barmen. Blackmailing him into being her manager/fake boyfriend, the legend that is Britzeee is born. Laugh as they bond over a mutual love of mischief and tash stroking. Weep when Mitzeee switches her allegiance to Brendan's arch enemy Warren. One of the greatest Hollyoaks double acts EVER.
Mitzeee: Her Story So Far is available in all good bookshops now. #notreally.

It's nearly time for the (WAG) wedding of the century. And we can't chuffing wait.
They say a picture tells a thousand words, but this picture tells a thousand sins. We've seen more smiles in a funeral parlour.
Spot the odd one out? We reckon Riley wins hands down. To say he's the man who's tying the knot he sure is out of the loop (geddit)...
We're sure that when Riley and Mercy get hitched things will go, ahem, without a hitch. But let's just imagine that somebody could let slip the big secret of Mercedes and Carl's affair.
Who's your number one contender? Would it be Jacqui in the church with a drunken slip? Seth in the reception with a confession?...Or Professor Silas in the library with the lead piping? Okay, that's just Cluedo, we got a bit carried away.
Contender No 2: Doug
The not-so-best-friend is keeping Mercedes' affair a secret thanks to some heavy threats from Warren Fox. That's odd behaviour for a so-called loyal pal. Will he be able to keep quiet from Riley?
Contender No 3: Mercedes
The blushing bride certainly knows how to keep a secret. But will she crumble under the vicar's gaze? They say true love conquers all...will her conscience make her confess?
Contender No 4: Mitzeee
She's been scorned and she's bitter. She's the 'poor' relation of the Costellos...but will Mitzeee be rich in revenge? With Warren by her side we know anything is possible.
Contender No 5: Seth
He's such a good egg, always trying to do what's best for the family. Seth has held it together for so long that we're surprised he hasn't collapsed in a heap of sordid secrets. Will the wedding push him over the edge?
Contender No 6: Carl
He's slept with his son's wife to-be. Is there a heart in there? Will he do the right thing and come clean to Riley before they reach the altar?
There's one thing for certain, we can't wait to hear the words: 'Speak now or forever hold your peace.' We've got a hunch that it might be a little bit awkward.
Will anyone let the big secret slip? Who do you think would be the first to crack? Leave your comments below.
It's tough on the streets of Chester. This week Warren showed Riley the meaning of strong man-management; Will almost savaged his brother Dodger for looking at Theresa (you can read about their skirmish here) and Annalise took on Rob with a fury that will be unrivalled by anything he has seen on the rugby pitch...
In fact, one of the few characters not to have a "Barney" this week, was brand-new Fresher Barney Harper-McBride...
And all that was accompanied by a hyped-up sound-track. We include it below, in a bid to help you get - in the words of the inimitable Calvin Harris - 'ready for the weekend'...
Monday 3rd October
Give It Up - Hard Fi
My Body - Young The Giant
Tuesday 4th October
Better off Without You - Summer Camp
Thursday 6th October
Ready For the Weekend - Calvin Harris
Friday 7th October
Life Is Life - Noah and The Whale
Here at Hollyoaks we're on the edge of our seats. The suspense is killing us. What exactly is Chester's notorious serial killer up to in France?
Any ideas? Get creative and send us your Silas snaps and a selection will be shown on this very website for everyone to admire.
Here's our guess of what Silas might be doing...
Spotted at: La Louvre, we're not surprised Mona Lisa looks so miserable. Thank goodness Silas packed his trusty leather gloves, we've heard there's been a cold snap in France....
Spotted at: Cafe Francais. We wonder what Silas will order? Tastes of India? A TEX-Mex special? Moules Mar-RAE-naires? Or will get his teeth stuck into something new?
Send us your 'SILAS-SPOTTED' art, we can't wait to see what else he's been up to in France. Bon voyage!

It's the countdown to the Wedding of the Year in this teaser and Mercedes seems blissfully unaware of the trouble a-brewing:
"I've got a feeling tomorrow's gonna be just perfect". Really, Mercedes? Have you learnt NOTHING from every single wedding in the history of Hollyoaks?
The questions don't end there. Warren and Mitzeee are up to no good (as usual) will they get revenge on the Costellos? Will Seth tell Riley the truth? What did Carl do to earn himself that slap (where do we start)?
Post your thoughts and theories below!
p.s loving Myra's jimjams.
Satan himself would be proud of this pair.
Two lots of scheming naughtiness all bundled up in a gift box of love. Who said romance is dead?
Welcome to the twisted love story of Mitzilla the Hun and wicked Warren...
Well, that was awkward. Our fave bad guy Brendan catches lusty couple Warren and Mitzeee in bed together.
Ahhh, true love never runs smoothly. Especially when you steal all your boyfriend's hard earned (*ahem) money. But Mitzeee is left with no choice. What else would you do when you're not getting enough attention?
Sometimes your faced with tough decisions in a relationship. Like whether to wear a wire and try to get your boyfriend to confess to murder...
But professional bad man Warren isn't that easy to fool. He can smell a wire from a mile off. But he does confess to Mitzeee that he killed his wife-to-be Louise. Scared? Nah...Mitzeee eats murderers for breakfast.
What's worse than stealing your fella's stolen cash and spending it on a designer dress? Burning it while he's locked in a cage watching, that's what. We've heard love hurts but wow, Mitzeee sure knows how to kick a man while he's down.
"Do you know what would make this first date a disaster? If we sat three metres away from my ex with his date. Perfect!" And it was all going so well until Mitzeee threw a drink all over Warren's new lady friend. Who'd of thought it?
Oh-oh. The young romantics had been getting on so brilliantly. When Warren receives an incriminating picture message he's on the war(ren) path. But for once Mitzeee has been keeping out of trouble. Maybe a leopard can change its spots...
Or maybe not. The home-wrecking schemestress has her sights set on bringing down the Costellos (again). And who's by her side? Well, it's her dark knight in shining armour of course. See, true love really does conquer all.
Do you think Warren and Mitzeee are made for each other? Or is their relationship a one-way ticket to Doomsville? Leave your comments below.
Brotherly love? It's all getting a bit heated between cheeky chappy Dodger and younger bro Will.
We're not surprised though, as Chester's number one scam-man Dodger even lied to Will about some not-so-good goods. Well, a customer is a customer after all.
When Will joins the rugby team Dodger is first in line to make fun of him. "This lad couldn't throw a tantrum." Nice one Dodger, really supportive.
But it's when Dodger flogs a useless (unless you're fluent in Japanese) tablet to Barney that Will is pushed one step too far. So he goes to 'sort it out'. The gloves (and the glasses) are off.
Chalk and cheese come to mind? Yep, that's what we thought. Have a look at just how different the Savage brothers are...
THE CHALK
THE 'BIG' CHEESE
Is Will finally confident enough to stand up to his big bro Dodger and stop walking in his (admittedly very buff) shadow? What do you think to the new confident Will? And anyone getting unexplainable chalk fetishes?

So, Father Francis (or should we say Nathan Harker?) is going away to do a bit of bird. His trespasses finally caught up with him tonight when a jaunt to Africa was cut short as ‘the law’ turned up just in time, conveniently enough, for the end credits...
Before he went, crafty con-man Frannie said he was sorry to the much-maligned Carmel…
He may have made his peace with God, but the law of man says he’s guilty, guilty, guilty…
Father Frannie will hardly be short of company in Hollyoaks nick though. In fact, the place must be heaving now with former cast members. Below are just a few of the grizzly characters he may bump into...
Prisoner A: Dominic(ked) Reilly
Dom is giving the lie to the phrase 'the life of Reilly' as he spends his life behind bars...
Here in the guise of George Michael, Dom had to ‘go-go’ last year after he fessed up to starting the fire at Il Gnosh. His elder sibling Tony was the first person the coppers looked to (see him being roughed up below) for answers, and everyone was shocked when lil Dom held his hands up. Always the quiet ones…
We’re slightly concerned about how food-lover Dom is going to be coping with a strict diet of porridge inside. Maybe Frannie and Dom could help each other get by. As Father Francis will well know, ‘you gotta have faith (f-faith, f-faith)’…
Prisoner B: Des the un-Des-irable
Could Father Francis be sharing a bunk with Mr. white supremacy himself, Des Barnes?
One of Jacqui’s less fortuitous choices of men, Des organised a racist campaign of terror against local businessman Ravi, who administers some street-justice above...
His dirty antics included spraying racist abuse on the walls of Relish and even setting off CS-Gas in Ravi’s restaurant. Let’s hope, for Francis’ sake, he doesn’t have to cross paths with this mean character…
Prisoner C: Brendan 'The Chester One' Brady
Who could forget, the recently incarcerated Brendan Brady, who was cruelly stolen from our lives after he was wrongly arrested for the murder of Rae, India and Becky (alias Jenny) The fight to #FreeBrendan continues. See details below:
