Get ready for a jaw-dropping twist in Hollyoaks as one of its most notorious villains stages a shocking comeback—and trust us, it’s not good news for anyone in the village. But here’s where it gets controversial: just months after committing a brutal murder, the character is returning to stir up chaos, leaving fans divided on whether this move is genius or just plain reckless. Actress Gemma Bissix has already stepped back into the shoes of the infamous killer Clare Devine, whose last appearance in October ended with her shooting her own sister, Grace Black, during the show’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Yes, you read that right—she killed her own flesh and blood. After fleeing the village, Clare is now back to face the music, but this time, she’s up against her vengeful gangster family, who won’t let her off easy. A source teases, ‘Her return is definitely going to be explosive,’ and with the village still reeling from her past actions, Clare’s safety is far from guaranteed. And this is the part most people miss: while Clare’s return is stealing the spotlight, another villain’s exit is equally dramatic. Corrupt cop Sully, Clare’s uncle, has been ousted from the family after his heinous crimes—including the rape of Donny in last year’s harrowing Hollyoaks Later episode—were exposed. Actor Harry French has reportedly filmed his final scenes, with a source hinting at ‘explosive consequences’ for Sully’s actions. But here’s the real question: Is Hollyoaks pushing boundaries too far with these dark storylines, or are they exactly what the show needs to stay fresh and compelling? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one debate you won’t want to miss!
