Hollyoaks: Who shot Mercedes McQueen? Suspects REVEALED

First up is Dianne Hutchinson, who will no doubt be fuming that Mercedes and Liam framed her step-son Harry as the driver during Grace's hit-and-run.

Also revealed as a potential culprit is priest Joel Dexter, who was beaten up as a result of finding out about Mercedes and Liam's part in the hit-and-run.

Thirdly, Grace Black is a suspect, that's if she finds out that Mercedes ran her over. It doesn't seem that unlikely, seeing as though the feisty women have never got on.

Could Mercedes mother and current serial killer Breda McQueen stoop as low as killing Mercedes? She's killed plenty of the village residents before, so it's highly likely.

The soap's producers also revealed James Nightingale is on the war path, following Harry's death and being kicked out of his home. Will he find out about Mercedes using Harry as a scapegoat and turn on the beauty?

Also lined-up as a culprit is Mercedes' hubby Sylver McQueen as well as her secret lover Liam Donovan. Will the pair turn their back on her together and both be part of the shooting?

Goldie no longer trusts what her mum is saying and books her in for an appointment with a psychiatrist. Tony reveals he thinks she should go to the appointment but she realises he just wants her to reveal her killer secret.

Breda arrives at the appointment to keep her family on side but things take a turn for the worse when she's hostile with the doctor. As her anger builds she ends up revealing too much…
