Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks has threatened to expose Bobby Costello’s killer in upcoming scenes as his dramatic funeral turns into chaos.

Mercedes’ son Bobby was tragically killed by serial killer Jez Blake last month in an attempt to silence the troubled youngster, who knew the truth about Jez.

After a cat-and-mouse chase between the killer and Bobby, Jez tracked down Bobby who had fallen in the road after trying to get away. On the road, Jez delivered a fatal blow with a rock.

In a twist of fate, Tony, who was also in pursuit of Bobby, sped down the road and swerved to avoid Bobby’s broken down taxi, appearing to hit Bobby with his car.

Since then, Tony has been under the impression that he was responsible for Bobby’s death, unaware that he was already dead.
