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.”
James Corden played a caretaker in the early days of the soap.
The former American TV host doesn’t have much positive to say about his time on the soap, claiming it was “hell on earth.”
Since his short-lived time on the show he has gone on to bigger things including smash hit comedy Gavin and Stacey.
Rachel Shenton joined the soap as aspiring glamour model Mitzeee Minniver in 2010.
Over two years her character was sent to prison, got pregnant and had a number of romantic affairs.
Since leaving Hollyoaks she has won an Oscar for best live action short film, The Silent Child.
Rachel has also starred in White Gold and All Creatures Great and Small
Emmett J. Scanlan played gangster turned anti-hero Brendan Brady.
Emmett played the love interest of Steve Hayes, with their romance delighting fans until it turned violent.
Since his departure Emmett has appeared in Peaky Blinders, The Fall, Gangs of London and even appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy
Emma Rigby joined Hollyoaks when she was 15 as Hannah Ahsworth.
Hannah’s eating disorder storyline was the first of it’s kind on TV while other plots included being caught in a fire, gangland drug dealing and running away.
Since leaving the soap in 2010 Emma has gone on to star in ABCs Once Upon a Time in Wonderland as the Red Queen. Other roles include guest appearances in Death In Paradise, Ripper Street and Fresh Meat
Nico Mirallegro got his big break with Hollyoaks starring as emo Barry ‘Newt’ Newton.
Nico’s main storyline in the soap was developing schizophrenia which culminated in a suicide pact.
He left the soap in 2010 and went on to star in My Mad Fat Diary, Our Girl, Rillington Place, The Ark and Common, Penance, as well as the Mike Leigh movie Peterloo and was nominated for a Bafta for his role in period drama The Village.
Ricky Whittle used Hollyoaks as a stepping stone to break America.
He played one of the soap’s resident hunks, Calvin Valentine, from 2006 to 2011 – when he was killed off at his wedding.
After leaving the soap Ricky cracked America starring in teen drama The 100 and America Gods.
He also appeared in Strictly Come Dancing in 2009.
Warren Brown joined Hollyoaks in 2005 for a year as evil Andy Holt.
His stint on the show consisted of date rape storylines and a crime spree, before eventually being killed off.
After leaving Hollyoaks, Warren became a big hitter in TV playing DS Justin Ripley in Luther, as well as major roles in a number of dramas including Liar, The Responder, Homefront and Good Cop.
Wallis Day played Holly Cunningham in the soap for years before leaving.
In 2021 Wallis won the role of Batwoman in DC’s series, taking over from Ruby Rose.
“Is Claire Devine returning as blue,” stated a third fan.
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.”
