The moment Hollyoaks fans have longed for is almost upon us, as confirmed in the show’s brand new Summer Trailer, with the truth about Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) finally set to be revealed.
Jez, as viewers know, has been claiming lives in abundance, having started killing from a young age, with mum Martha (Sherrie Hewson) covering up his crimes.
Since arriving in the village last year (two years in-universe following the time jump), he has murdered Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith), Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) and social worker Ian Stone.
He’s also claimed the life of Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) and started an affair with Liberty (Jessamy Stoddart), all the while preparing to tie the knot with John Paul McQueen (James Sutton).
Fans have waited eagerly to see the killer get his comeuppance and while we’ve yet to find out if he does, in fact, pay for his crimes, the brand new Summer Trailer confirms that Sienna (Anna Passey) finally sees him for who he truly is, which leaves her in serious danger.
Buckle up fans, you’re in for one dramatic summer!
With so much to digest in the preview as Hollyoaks brings back its six weeks of summer theme, Metro thought it fitting to take a deeper dive into the new trailer to look closely at what’s to come.
Jez caught out
With Jez imminently set to tie the knot on-screen, Hollyoaks has teased the outcome of the wedding, with John Paul left in tears in upcoming scenes as Jez talks about embracing his true killer nature.
Meanwhile, Sienna -who is aware of some of his crimes after she helped him cover up Dilly’s death earlier this year – comes to discover that Jez has been harbouring many murderous secrets as she breaks down at the allotment before demanding the truth.
The much-loved character is left in danger as she speeds across the city walls, presumably from her murderous father, but will she manage to get to safety and expose Jez for who he truly is?
The trailer also appears to imply that Jez commits another murder as he’s seen seemingly strangling someone at the shed. But who is it?
And hostage Robbie is also freed, with the short preview teasing him in the village – but will he manage to evade Jez’s evil grip and perhaps assist Sienna in exposing the dastardly patriarch’s murderous ways?
Dillon confesses his feelings… for Ste!
There will be heartbreak this Summer for HayRay fans, with Dillon set to confess his feelings for boyfriend Lucas’ dad Ste in a very unexpected turn of events.
The scales fall from Ste’s eyes in the wake of Dillon’s admission, but is this the beginning of a love triangle? Or is Lucas still the one for Dillon?
Either way, Lucas won’t be too happy when he learns what’s happened given all that he and Dillon have been through – with the couple deciding to give things another go just a matter of weeks ago.
Grace and Clare caught as Froggy Black debuts

But it seems they might have some help from estranged grandfather Froggy – whether they want it or not! – as she makes quite a debut, claiming that he wants to reconnect with the siblings.
Clare, however, makes it quite clear that she wants nothing less, urging the baddie to stay away from her and Grace.
The question is: Just how bad is Froggy if even the almighty villain that is Clare Devine wants nothing to do with him?
