Hollyoaks fans were left reeling after an explosive episode in which Eva Falco was killed off.
The shock twist saw Eva murdered by Grace Black as she was trying to run off with Liam.
It seems Grace had been determined to exact revenge after Eva’s part in Esther’s shooting, and she got there just in time.
The episode stunned fans of the soap, despite Hollyoaks bosses dropping clues on social media all day.
