Hollyoaks Later:

Our favourite three things in the world are: 1) Hollyoaks 2) Hollyoaks Later 3) Deleted scenes from Hollyoaks/Hollyoaks Later.

Today we bring you EXCLUSIVE deleted scenes from Hollyoaks Later. Praise be to the soap gods...

Enjoy the Silas

During the course of Hollyoaks Later it became quite apparent that Silas loves a good ol' monologue - none more so than in the below never-before-seen clip.

In a weird kind of way it's heartening to see Silas questioning whether to kill Theresa or not because, you know, he's kind of mates with Will nowadays. There's more of that Silas/Will relationship here. Plus it's nice/creepy to see that India is still in his thoughts...

Bruce Maverick: He plays by his own rules

In the below clip, my personal favourite Hollyoaks Later character, Bruce Maverick, lambasts Duncan (as per) while Duncan has a perv at Kelly.

"Being fat is being lazy, and being lazy is just damn crazy" is a slogan that I'd like to hear as motivational speak in offices worldwide. He has a way with words, our Bruce.

Duncan (do)nuts Kelly

How many times did we see Kelly attempt to seduce Duncan? A fair few, ladies and gents, and this is another example. However, this time more blood's involved. Yep, it's not exactly the most romantic moment in Hollyoaks history.

Bruce Maverick on Ross Kemp

So, in this here video it's revealed that Bruce is mates with Ross Kemp. The hairline, the temperament, the penchant for tight clothing - we should have really guessed that those two would have been friends. It's also revealed that Kelly isn't an actress. That's not the only knock-out punch delivered...

Staged stripper death. Pig burial. Hijacking a white water rafting excursion armed with a baseball bat. You can’t accuse Warren of being unimaginative in his quest to discover Little Seth's "Big Secret". Thanks to Doug, however, Foxy now knows all about Mercy and Carl's naughty affair and the potential Carl-flavoured bun in Mercedes' oven.

"I think we can work with that," Warren growled to Mitzeee who was shocked by the revelation of the affair. Undoubtedly shocked because - since she and Riley shared an almost-kiss on the Stag and she has also sampled the flinty eyed delights of Carl Costello - she and Mercedes are now locked in a bizarre man-sharing feedback loop.

Meanwhile, reunited in Ibiza, Mercedes and Riley remain blissfully ignorant of the trouble a-brewing back home – too busy smooching in complimentary white outfits. A word of advice?  Stay there. Foxy isn't afraid to sabotage a wedding – his own didn't end too well after all.

ANYHOO, after the antics of Hollyoaks Later, I am hopping with anticipation at the mayhem Warren is bound to unleash.  What demented scheme will he come up with next? Making Carl believe it’s all been some Inception-style dream? Infiltrating the Costello family with Nazi monkeys? Something involving robots? One thing's for sure, if there’s a stripper involved I hope they know what they're letting themselves in for.

As warehouse parties go, the Hollyoaks Later one had it all - a supercool DJ, two Hollyoaks favourites FINALLY getting together - oh yes, and a serial killer on the prowl. 

Infact there was so much going on that we filmed this extra special behind-the-scenes video just for you. 

WARNING: This video contains a major spoiler, so if you haven't seen the Hollyoaks Later finale yet LOOK AWAY! 

Awww. We feel all emotional after watching that.  

There was *so* much Hollyoaks Later awesome-ness on offer in the last episode of the 2011 series that it's difficult to focus on all the amazing storylines we saw unfold. So I won't focus on all of them. I'll focus on the white water rafting stunt. And what a stunt...

Ok, so, having read the Hollyoaks Later scripts, we kind of knew that the river scenes were going to be mind-blowing, so, with that in mind, we handed a camera to our favourite Brooklyn boy, PJ Brennan (Doug). And the Peej did good.

Check out his ace video below.

Note: Rachel Shenton (Mitzeee) and Jamie Lomas (Warren) somehow look ruddy sexy in bright red helmets and fetching lifejackets...

Those vigilant folk at Silas Watch were bang on the money: evil Mr Blissett has got his evil eyes on Theresa.

It was only the presence of cute ickle Kathleen Angel that stopped him garrotting her last night - but there are no babes at an all-night warehouse rave (not unless you count newly-hunk Will that is).

So, as we wait with baited breath for the Hollyoaks Later finale, we thought we'd take a moment to plea for the life of Teeny Queeny.

Before you put your gloves on, Silas, please reconsider. Theresa is no "slurrisome tart". So she slept with her cousin's husband - that can happen to anyone. And when she shot said husband dead? A mistake - Theresa admits this herself. Canoodling with her best friend Lib's fella? Well, that was just to help prove what a three-timing scumbag he really was - which she did! Hooray for Theresa. 

So please Silas, take your rope elsewhere. Show mercy - but not Mercy! Maybe we could introduce you to Honey the stripper?

Pray for Theresa, folks. She's going to need it. 

Find out if Silas is going to claim his next victim in the Hollyoaks Later finale - tonight at 10pm on E4.

Flash Dance. Footloose. Step Up. These are NOTHING compared to Duncan's amazing Fit Camp dance-off, which is why we are buzzing about this EXCLUSIVE extended version, which also includes some bonus Will-gets-a-makeover-WOAH-has-he-always-been-that-fit? footage. Enjoy. 

WARNING: Contains Bruce Maverick. In lycra. 

GANGSTERRRRRRRRR

Hollyoaks Later has taught us many things - that Seth isn't a stripper killer, for example, (phew!) and that the words "I want to zip you open and climb inside" should never be uttered in a date situation. Or anywhere else for that matter.

The biggest lesson, however, was that when it comes to deeply demented mind games there is no one better than Mr Warren Fox.

We would love to have seen his to-do list for the Stag week: hire stripper – check. Buy fake blood – check. Bury pig – CHECK.

Top villainy. But then there's Silas who can even make a pun about giving "Juan" to Theresa seem terrifying and spilled the beans about how he killed his wife Joan by pushing her down the stairs – and then strangled her to make sure.

Oh – and let's not forget a certain fella with a moustache...

So that's three Hollyoaks badasses. But who is better? There's only one way to find out…FIIIIIGHT – no, we mean a poll:

Vote now!

So episodes if Hollyoaks Later had Friends-style titles then Episode 2 would be 'The One Where Myra Raves'. 

Yes, after mistaking some illegal substances for asprin, Ma McQueen was soon pulling shapes on the dancefloor and declaring that gauva is "the future". Could have been worse though - just ask Seth. 

In this very same episode she had a go at pole dancing too - have a behind the scenes peek.

In other Hollyoaks Later news:

Johnny revealed himself to be the type of ne'er do well who follows pregnant women into the toilets.

Turns out Will and Silas have many similarities - chess, cardies, glasses and a habit of setting up fake dating profiles to entrap young women. If Will buys himself some leather gloves we're going to get VERY worried. 

Doug now knows the BIG SECRET about Mercedes and he didn't even have to draft in a stripper to find out - are you reading this, Foxy? 

Little Seth's week went from bad (killing a stripper with an axe) to worse (being haunted by her window-tapping ghost). Consumed with guilt, he ran off into the woods -and as any Hollyoaks fan will know: NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS IN THE WOODS. 

Eek.

One of the many memorable things about Hollyoaks Later episode 2 was the Hen's trip to an Ibizan pole dancing class. Though Mercedes wasn't too impressed (to be fair, pole dancing probably wasn't the best activity to choose for a heavily pregnant woman), we loved it. 

So we're well happy that Hollie-Jay Bowes (Michaela) kindly filmed this exclusive behind-the-scenes video of the girls getting into *POLE-RELATED PUN ALERT* pole position: 

Anyone else totally in awe of Nicole Barber-Lane (Myra) and her upside down pole dancing move? Ledge. 

Oh yes. Naughtier than Seth with a lady of the night, Hollyoaks Later finally blazed onto our screens in a flurry of feather boas, paintballing and exposed bottoms. Check out this rocking recap video to relive the magic:

So much to enjoy that it's nigh on impossible to pick our fave bits, but what the hey - we thought we'd give it a go:

Bottoms galore! The Costello clan just couldn't keep their pants on - Mitzeee, Riley and Seth all flashed their cheeks. Even Silas got his bottom pinched by Myra. Thankfully he kept his pants on though.

Our first sighting of Jenifique: pool, bikini, shades. That she soon announced that she'd wee'd in said pool just made us love her more.

Silas holding a, er, novelty accessory. A true Nikon moment (other cameras are available, but don't sponsor Hollyoaks). 

The inflatable doll with an eerie resemblance to Brendan.

Theresa being unable to pronounce ‘Rioja’. Aww

The shocker of an ending. What did you do, Little Seth, WHAT DID YOU DO?? 

We literally CANNOT WAIT for tonight's episode!
