Former pub boss, Mac, had tried to blackmail Breda into killing his son James but this time, she got the better of him.

Mac underestimated Breda, whose specialty is killing ‘bad dads’ – making Mac her fifth on-screen victim.

In the episode, aired on Wednesday 20 March on E4 First Look, we were led to believe that Breda had carried out her duties and poisoned James, leaving him dead.

Breda took a photo of James, lying unconscious which, she sent to Mac to prove that the deed is done. However, we soon found out she did not poison James fatally, just enough to put him in hospital.

Breda then paid Mac a visit, even brought him a freshly cooked lasagna to mark the occasion which he tucked into, all while ranting and raving about his son.

Mac emphasised his disgust at his son’s sexual orientation, saying his death had "been a long time coming" and describing him as a "lost cause".

He said: "It's like being on the farm, you have a sick, weak member of the litter so you kill it so the rest can thrive. Now I've got rid of James, I can start again with Juliet."

However, Breda soon knocked Mac down a peg or two, saying, "You really think you are the big man, don't you? King Mac.

"You know you should never count your chickens before they've hatched?

"I just meant that maybe you should've asked to see the body rather than taking my word for it. Because James isn't really dead. He'll have a nasty headache but he'll pull through.”

She sinisterly went on to say: "You're looking a little bit peaky Mac, I do hope it's not my cooking. James was never my intended victim, you were.

"I know men like you, it would never even occur to you that somebody could play you at your own game. Especially not a little old lady like me.

"I don't enjoy the killing, it's about making the world a better place. And without you in it Mac Nightingale, everyone's going to be so much happier."

As Breda goes to leave, taking the evidence with her, Mac tries one last attempt at survival and goes to attack her.

However, Breda strikes him over the head with the dish and leaves him on the stairs to die, but not before telling him: "Yes Mac, this is how you die, pathetic and alone."

Fans couldn't believe Mac had finally been murdered, one person tweeted: "I can't believe Mac is finally gone now. Mac will always be one of my favourite soap villains of all time. The last four years has been very entertaining. Goodbye #MonsterMac."

Someone else said: "Hollyoaks yessssss Karma has arrived..bye bye Mac."

Another commented: " "Oh I absolutely love you Breda McQueen I have never been so happy for a Hollyoaks character to die since Glenn mission accomplished Mac Nightingale is dead Breda got her man glad James survived I knew it was a set up #Hollyoaks"

One more added: "Hollyoaks pulled it out the bag again!!! I am SO HAPPY that James is alive and monster Mac is no more! Now we just need James, Harry, Romeo & Juliet to get their happy ending! #Hollyoaks 🤯🙏🏽"

It seems that serial killer Breda McQueen may once again get away with her crimes.

Once Romeo realises that James is going to survive, he leaves him in hospital and goes off to seek revenge on Mac.

Rushing off in a fury and not knowing that Mac is already dead, unluckily for Romeo, he is heard screaming that he wants to kill Mac.

He then breaks into Mac’s house where he discovers his lifeless body, leaving fans convinced that he will be blamed for the murder.
