Hollyoaks @25 is dishing up a treat for fans this week, with another chance to see the events of the soap’s iconic Halloween Spooktacular.
The dramatic Halloween stunt centred around an event thrown by Jude Cunningham (Davinia Taylor) in 2016, which turned into a deadly game of cat and mouse before a fire which had a fatal ending.
With new episodes of Hollyoaks currently off air in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, this one is the latest classic storyline to be plucked from the archives and given a second airing.
But just what did happen at the Halloween Spooktacular and who died?
Who died in the Hollyoaks Halloween Spooktacular?
The Halloween Spooktacular was a fairground, complete with a full-sized maze and Ferris Wheel – with the event ending in tragedy when the maze went up in flames.
The storyline focused on several characters including serial killer Nico Blake (Persephone Swales-Dawson) who had stalked and kidnapped Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell)
She sets out to target Tom Cunningham, whom she thinks is the one standing between her and Peri but a dramatic turn of events led to Peri’s dad Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore) setting fire to the maze in a bid to get back at Nico for kidnapping Peri.
The subsequent blaze claimed the life of Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callaghan) after the Ferris Wheel he had been on with girlfriend Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) was stopped by his vengeful ex Joanne Cardsley in the wake of the blaze.
While Mercedes was rescued by a cherry picker, Joe was forced to try and jump on to it after the generator on the ride exploded – but despite gripping to the outside of the crane, ultimately falling to his death.
Although it was also assumed Nico Blake had died in the fire, she later made a surprise return in 2018 – although the character was later killed off in a separate incident involving her mother Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).
Hollyoaks @25 is on E4 on Monday night at 7pm.
