Hollyoaks fans work out who gangster Blue is – and SHE is a very familiar face
HOLLYOAKS fans think they might have worked out the identity of Blue.
On the summer trailer of the Channel 4 soap, a gangster with the mysterious name is seen terrorising the village.
In the teaser clip for Hollyoaks, different characters are seen to express worry over the figure.
Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) mentioned that forensics from the police found bullets covered in blue paint.
She said that it amounted to the trademark of a mysterious gangster named ‘Blue’.
Suspicions soon arose about who the gangster might be, as a rivalry developed between Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) and Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham).
Warren thought he knew the identity as he told a mystery female: “Freddie is Blue.”
An angry looking Freddie was then seen denying that he was the person behind the criminal attacks.
With a stern expression, he declared: “Dunno what this Blue is, but it ain’t me.”
This came as print out pictures of various characters, including Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) were pulled out of a file.
Other shots of serious looking faces including Darren Osbourne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) and Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) were also intertwined in the sequence.
But fans have other ideas, and they think that we could be in for an almighty twist.
Actress Gemma Bissix, 41, played Clare Devine, one of the biggest villains to ever grace the soap.
Although her character was seemingly killed off in 2013, some fans think that she could make an almighty return as the mystery villain.
One fan wrote: “I just want it to be Clare Devine.”
Whilst a second viewer echoed: “It would be massive if she’s back.”

And a fourth viewer couldn’t help but speculate: “I’m really intrigued now who ‘Blue’ is in hollyoaks. Who could possibly have so much influence that they could get Ste off for Ella’s death?
“Not sure Clare Devine would have that much power. Need to know now.”
