The Gloved Hand Killer is set to strike again and claim three more victims, as part of a special week of 20th anniversary Hollyoaks episodes.
The murderous storyline began earlier this year in January when Rick Spencer (played by Victor Gardener) was killed in hospital.
Since then, psychotic Will Savage (James Atherton), Mariam Andrews (Helen Lederer) and Phoebe McQueen (Mandeep Gill) have also fallen prey to the soap’s evil slayer.

The killer will finally be revealed next week.
To mark Hollyoaks’ 20th, viewers will also be treated to the soap’s first Gay Pride and a perilous underwater battle to survive for Freddie (Charlie Clapham), Jason (Alfie Browne-Sykes) and Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham).
Set in the fictional borough of Hollyoaks in Chester, Hollyoaks was first broadcast on Channel 4 on October 23, 1995.

It started with just seven characters and now has almost 50. On its birthday it will have broadcast 4,240 episodes.
