This autumn Hollyoaks is set to air a spectacular stunt as Silas returns with fatal consequences.
The soap has released a new trailer teasing storylines that will be coming up in early autumn.
Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) brings the carnival to town in the coming weeks with his wife Diane (Alex Fletcher) as the ringmaster.
The residents will be donning extravagant costumes as the games commence, but looming over the festivities is serial killer Silas (Jeff Rawle), who is hellbent on taking his Grandson, Bobby, and taunting the McQueen family in the process.
Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) is determined to save her son at any cost, but a terrifying series of events are in store for her and her family as she is kidnapped by Silas and taken to his lair.
The new autumn trailer teases flashes of an escape room, a chessboard and a big explosion, but will any other residents be caught in the crossfire.
