It looks as if it’s going to be another unhappy ending for one of our favourite characters, Hollyoaks fans.
PC Ben Bradley first arrived in the village back on the 26th May last year - and he’s been dealt some seriously meaty storylines since.
From his run-in with Trevor, to his investigation into the Gloved Hand Killer, there’s been a lot for the police officer to tackle.
However, with actor Ben Richards set to bow out of the soap - for good - at the end of his current storyline, we have a feeling there’s a lot more drama in store.
And we have a feeling it will involve him finding out about a) his wife Sienna’s affair with Trevor, and b) that Nico Blake murdered his daughter, Carly.
Eep.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Ben said: “If you look at the different elements coming together, it definitely looks like it's leading towards an unhappy ending.
"If he does discover everything, it will be interesting to see whether he can still have a happy ever after.”
It seems highly unlikely.
But will Ben simply pack his bags and leave Hollyoaks - or will he be carried out in a body bag after Nico bumps him off?
After all, we KNOW the teen is capable of murder (she even killed her granddad, Patrick) - and we know she’d be willing to do ANYTHING to cover her tracks.
If Ben has found out she killed Carly, he could soon find himself at the top of her kill list.
Refusing to spill any further details, he added: “I feel sorry for the guy! All I can tell you is that it's a very strong finish."
Ben Richards is leaving the soap so that he can star alongside Beverley Knight in the West End production of The Bodyguard.
He said happily: "I start rehearsals for The Bodyguard in June and we open in July.
“Beverley is down to earth, so I think we will have a lot of fun."
We can’ WAIT to see him tread the boards - but we’ll definitely miss his presence in the Channel 4 soap.
Fingers crossed his exit isn’t TOO final, eh?
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
