HOLLYOAKS fans are convinced Diane Hutchinson shot Mercedes McQueen after the pub owner was gunned down at the end of tonight’s episode.
Scheming Mercedes – who is played by actress Jennifer Metcalfe in the Channel 4 soap – was shot and left for dead in the nightclub after being ambushed by one of her seven enemies in tonight’s E4 episode.
There are seven suspects with James Nightingale, Grace Black, Breda McQueen, Sylver McQueen, Liam Donovan, Joel Dexter and Diane Hutchinson all in the frame for the attempted murder.
But eagle-eyed fans think they spotted which of the seven official suspects actually pulled the trigger.
One wrote: “I bet it’s going be Diane!”
A second said: “Diane is the one who shot Mercedes – that earlier convo with Edward was a clue #Hollyoaks”.
Another added: “They’re going to find Diane’s blood at the scene when Mercedes is shot aren’t they? Also, why hasn’t anyone called the police yet?”
I bet it’s going be Diane

The attempted murder came after Mercedes confronted all of her enemies and gave them what for after they tried to scam her by stealing drinks from her pub.
She terrified James by walking towards him and pulling her phone out like a gun, before telling him how Harry only wanted him for his money and then turning to Grace and warning her about her own murders.
Joel was next with her ripping into him about his knowing her secrets and his secret meeting with Cleo, while Goldie got a mouthful for being a “market knockoff”.
Diane was called out for her behaviour towards Harry before he died, and her evil rapist son Finn being welcomed back into the village.
“I would rather be dead and buried instead of being stuck here with you,” she said as she stormed out to the loft where someone tried to help her along the way by shooting her.
She ran into Liam first and when he rejected her she told him how she had had a termination of his baby.
