Hollyoaks' recent trailer showed that Liam's dark path will ultimately lead to him hosting a "devil's dinner party" for all of his enemies.
New footage from the promo showed Liam dropping the bombshell on Mercedes that Grace and James were responsible for shooting her. But what else does he have in store for the unlucky villagers on his Dartboard of Doom?
Jude Monk McGowan, who plays Liam, recently warned: "[Liam] is capable of anything at this point, absolutely anything.
"He's capable of inciting other people to do murder. He's capable of murder himself. He's capable of getting his revenge, come what may, regardless of the repercussions."
Hollyoaks airs Liam's threat for James on Friday, March 20 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
