Another father in Hollyoaks is in danger with serial killer Breda McQueen on the loose.
The soap shocked viewers this week when Breda (Moya Brady) brutally stabbed Harry Thompson, adding him to the list of 'bad dads' she's killed since her killing spree began last year.
Breda believes she is on a mission from god to punish all of the deadbeat dads in the village, and thus is constantly on alert for any fathers who are neglecting their kids.
In Thursday's (July 25) first-look episode, her suspicion was twigged when picking up Oscar and Ant from Tom’s Turtles, after being asked to take Oscar as well because Darren Osborne hadn't shown up.
"Darren's been late every day this week," Romeo told her.
Breda then warned: "Well he better have a good excuse for his wanton neglect or he's gonna have me to deal with!"

When Breda later spotted spotted Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) looking tipsy on his way back from Damon Kinsella's (Jacob Roberts) 'hula lua' stag do, it officially put him on her radar.
"Have you been drinking?" she asked, with Darren admitting: "If I want a cold beer on a Sunday afternoon, I can have one, thank you!"
When Breda insisted he should be looking after his children, Darren unknowingly tempted fate by joking: "Chill your beans, sweet cheeks! I'm sorry I was late picking up Oscar. It doesn't make me a bad dad, doesn it?"
As father and son walked away, Breda muttered under her breath: "I'll be the judge of that, Darren Osborne!"
Has Darren just unwittingly got himself onto murderous Breda's hit list?
Earlier this week, Hollyoaks producer Bryan Kirkwood confirmed to Digital Spy that Breda will wreak havoc this summer as she takes her vendetta against 'bad dads' to the next level.
"We have plotted the rest of the Breda story out," he said. "There are some gob-smacking twists and turns to come.
"Harry isn't the last of her victims, I'll put it that way."
Hollyoaks airs Mondays through Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look episodes airing on E4 at 7pm.
