Hollyoaks' Charlie 'turns child killer' in devastating New Year's Eve murder

Hollyoaks fans are convinced they've worked out the identity of the mystery killer behind the upcoming murder in the village.  A special flash-forward episode which aired in December last year, shifted back and forth in time between New Year's Eve in 2019 and one year ahead in 2020, when things were looking much more darker in the village.  The most jaw-dropping moment was when John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) was seen overlooking a body bag, with no definitive answer as to who was inside.  The County Lines drug-dealing storyline has dominated the show over the past six months and the flash-forward confirmed that police will bust into Nancy Hayton (Jessica Fox) flat and find drugs hidden in young Charlie Dean's (Charlie Behan) game console controller.

Between their grief, Darren's depression, and the affair, that's probably why they don't see what's Charlie been up to and I think Charlie does end up killing someone in the NYE episode.."  A third said: "This will not end well for Charlie."  Fans will have to wait a few more months to see what exactly happens over the festive period.  Hollyoaks airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look episodes airing on E4 at 7pm
