Hollyoaks star James Sutton has hinted that the McQueen family could be some of those involved in the upcoming train crash.
James plays John Paul McQueen, who is due to marry his boyfriend Ste Hay (Kieran Richardson) in the Channel 4 soap, and the show's big autumn storyline has been teased as a devastating train crash.
He told Unreality TV: "This stunt is a huge thing to undertake. We are quite literally crashing a train.
"We are doing this for real, there are a lot of characters involved, which I think is one of the things that Bryan Kirkwood (producer) is very keen on, getting lots of families and lots of different characters involved in these big things because it paints a bigger picture which leads on to affect a lot of lives, in a lot of different families.
"It is huge, the episodes are going to be fantastic. There is so much drama, not just the actual stunt itself but the before and after. There are some huge episodes to look out for, and John Paul is involved, as are some of the McQueens, and some of the new McQueens."
James also talked about the upcoming exit of his on-screen sisters, Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) and Carmel (Gemma Merna): "The McQueens are an iconic family, full of big characters and to be part of them is really important. It is always very sad when someone leaves, but with every new person who comes in, like when Mandip [Gill, who plays Phoebe] came in and was just fantastic, it makes the family stronger.
"And now John Paul being with Ste makes him part of the clan too, and of course with Nana (Diane Langton) and Myra (Nicole Barber-Lane) coming back to the forefront of the family it is great.
"And with this sort of family you never know how many cousins and distant relatives could come out of the woodwork, and the ones who leave you can never write off - even if they are dead. It is a good family to be part of."
