Hollyoaks to bring back familiar face as Fergus fallout continues

Hollyoaks is set to bring back a familiar face from the Fergus Collins storyline following his recent death.

As fans will know, baddie Fergus was recently killed by Maxine Minniver after she hit him with a bottle.

Warren Fox, meanwhile, is currently serving a prison sentence for killing stalker Timmy Simons, despite Fergus being the one who actually murdered him. He was previously sent to prison after being set up as the mastermind behind Operation Bluebird, before the truth about Fergus being the real one pulling the strings emerged.

In new scenes airing in the run-up to Christmas, the fallout from Fergus' death continues as Warren remains behind bars. However, as they try to clear his name, the team hoping to set Warren free meet up with Fergus' former employee, Katja.

The latter appeared on the soap earlier this year, and the team pin their hopes on her being able to prove that Fergus was really responsible for Timmy's death.

Katja tells them that she wants nothing to do with it, though Maxine tries to guilt trip her to prevent an innocent man from going down. But will she listen?

Meanwhile, Warren talks to psychiatrist Honour, who is confident that he wants to seek help, even if he denies it himself.

Elsewhere this Christmas, Maxine is set to consider a big decision about leaving the village, with mother Trish encouraging her to say goodbye to Hollyoaks for good.

She heads for the airport – but will she go through with it, or will Warren intervene to stop her at the last minute?

Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Monday, December 13 and Tuesday, December 14 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
