Hollyoaks serial killer Breda McQueen has agreed to target James Nightingale as her next victim.

Wednesday (February 27) night's E4 episode saw Breda (Moya Brady) finally give into the demands of evil Mac Nightingale, who's blackmailing her into getting rid of his son forever.

Mac (David Easter) knows that Breda killed Louis Loveday and has cast-iron evidence that he can use against her.

The show's latest episode saw Breda briefly consider solving her problem by murdering Mac instead, but he saved himself by revealing his ace card.

Mac revealed that he's set up an "insurance policy" on his email account – if it's not accessed every 12 hours, the incriminating evidence will be automatically sent to the police.

Unless Breda fancies her chances at guessing Mac's password, this means that she has no way of killing him without landing herself in big trouble.

What to Read Next

Wednesday's closing scenes saw Breda crumble in the face of Mac's threats, promising to kill James.

Tomorrow's episode will see Breda pay a visit to James at his flat, claiming that she needs legal advice. Will this be the moment she'll strike?

Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
