Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey teases "terrifying" Silas showdown

Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey has teased a "terrifying" Silas showdown in upcoming episodes.

In an interview with Inside Soap, the Goldie actress opened up about the return of serial killer Silas and the human chess game.

The autumn trailer revealed that Silas will kidnap Mercedes and start a twisted chess game with the McQueen gang.

"It's terrifying," explained Healey. "If we make a wrong move, we're in big trouble. Goldie and Theresa don't even know how to play chess, so they are really scared."

In scenes this week, Goldie will put her foot in it when she opens up to Yazz about Silas' return, unaware that Yazz will use this on her true crime podcast and potentially bring the killer back to the village.

When quizzed about the threats the McQueen family have been receiving, the actress said the family are "absolutely" scared.

"Absolutely! It's a power thing for Silas and he hates Mercedes, doesn't he? The McQueens outnumber Silas, but he is clever and has everything sussed out."

The soap star also revealed the McQueen family's fears over Bobby's murderous grandfather coming to take him away.

"We love Bobby, but we know he's a bit of a psycho," explained Healey. "Ultimately we know Silas is coming back for Bobby and the McQueens are protective of him, especially Mercedes."

Healey revealed that she had never actually acted in scenes with Silas actor Jeff Rawle before and said that when he is in character he is "quite scary".

"I'd never done any scenes with him until the ones coming up! He has a funny sense of humour and a real presence when he's in character. In Silas mode he is quite scary!"

Hollyoaks streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
