"Cameron is going to take centre stage over the next two months. There is a huge, huge bombshell in our Christmas episode".

Will Cameron kill again?
And of all the soaps, Hollyoaks has to be the most dangerous place to be this Christmas. Cameron Campbell is a man on the edge and is set to wreck havoc in Chester over the festive period. With a kill count bigger than that of the Gloved Hand Killer - and having just recently finished off Celine McQueen - will his crimes be exposed?
In the run up to Christmas, we'll see Cameron finally acknowledge his crimes. Overcome with guilt, he pens a confession letter over the killings.
However, he leaves the letter in the Lomax family home - will the truth about everything he's done finally be exposed? Is Cameron about to get his comeuppance? Or will he have to silence another by taking another person's life?
Could his wife Leela be the next victim?
Mercedes and Ryan's secret romance
There's going to be some Christmas romance in store for Ryan Knight (Duncan James) and Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) after they share a passionate kiss after Ryan is kicked out by his fiance Amy Barnes following an outburst agaisnt meddling Leah - but will it be a fling or something way deeper, potentially putting Ryan and Amy's futures at risk?

Will we finally get to the bottom of the mystery?
