Spooky doll and McQueen family in HOllyoaks

The toy doll threatened to expose the McQueens deepest, darkest crimes

Yesterday the family was spooked to be confronted by a sinister speaking doll that had been placed in the middle of The Dog.

The doll told them each of them was guilty of one of the seven deadly sins and they would need to pay up or have their sin publicly exposed.

The first sin the doll mentions is wrath and a jittery Sylver is certain the sin of ‘wrath’ must refer to him killing Breda McQueen.

Desperate to stop Sylver's crime being exposed and knowing he would be sent back to prison, Mercedes turns to lawyer James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan).

She tells James he must pay the blackmailer as compensation for him shooting her last year.
