Killer Ethan Williams (Matthew James-Bailey) is feeling the heat in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings). 

Is the net closing in on him? And should he be very, very afraid?

Earlier on his nephew Sam Chen-Williams (Matthew McGivern) invites Ethan to dinner along with his new beau, DS Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown). 

Zoe arrives but it looks like any plans for the cosy little dinner are about to be blown out of the water.

Detective Zoe breaks the news that the body of Ethan’s ex, Maya Harkwell (Ky Discala) has been discovered!

Suddenly all eyes are on Ethan who was the last person known to have seen her in the village. 

Will he crack and reveal the terrible truth, that he accidentally killed Maya during a heated tussle? 

Or will he stay quiet? In which case how will he cover up his killer crime now that everyone knows that Maya is dead and Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) know Ethan’s terrible secret?
