HOLLYOAKS has revealed the shocking identity of killer Blue – and it’s mild-mannered postman Dave Williams.
The handyman – who is played by actor Dominic Power in the Channel 4 soap – was unmasked as assassin Blue in a shock scene in tonight’s episode.
Viewers have previously seen Blue murder Warren’s mother Norma Crow in cold blood – but refuse to show her his face.
In tonight’s episode he appeared on his bike pulling up next to gangster assistant Rex, telling him: “Don’t worry about Warren, I’ll take care of it.”
“That’s the Blue I know,” Rex replied as the face of Blue was revealed to be Dave.
“It’s all about playing the long game,” he said as scenes from over the years show Dave revealing his daughter Lizzie’s death from Warren’s drugs saw him returning to his killer ways.
He added: “When Lizzie’s baby died because of me, everything changed. I locked Blue in a box and became Dave, a normal guy with no edge who looked forward to games night with his family.
“It was the only way I could look Lizzie in the eye. But then when Lizzie went… Blue began to take hold again.”
He then told Rex that he had brought him back out after they first met working for Fraser Black – and they are out for revenge.
Now actor Dominic has teased the future murders coming from Blue – and Warren needs to watch out.
He said: “Dave and Warren do share some upcoming scenes together and obviously it’s inevitable that at some point they’re going to go toe to toe but working with Jamie and Jen over this period has been amazing and a real honour working with them.
“I think you can expect a little rumble in the jungle, or the woods…”
He added: “I mean the moment he kills his mum I don’t think there are any limits! I don’t think he’s worried about overstepping the mark.
“He won’t hold anything back in terms of revenge… He doesn’t want to kill Warren, he wants him to suffer in the cruellest way.”
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.”
