Hollyoaks spoilers follow from Tuesday's episode on Channel 4 streaming, which doesn't air on E4 until Wednesday.
A gunshot twist has played out as Sienna Blake went to battle with Warren Fox in Hollyoaks.
Warren has organised a hostage crisis because he believes his former partner has secretly been recording him, in hopes of finding out what's really happened with her best mate Ste Hay.
Tuesday's (April 9) first-look episode saw Warren sending his henchman Murphy to hold Sienna, Maxine, Dilly and Liberty hostage at the manor until they surrendered the recording.
Meanwhile, Warren also forced Ste to don a mask and become one of the hostage-takers to exact even more revenge on him for Ella's death.

What to Read Next
Sienna refused to play along with Murphy's hostage demands at the manor, so the villain resorted to threatening her with a gun.
A masked Ste soon entered the conflict as well, at Warren's demand, but he nearly gave away his identity when Sienna demanded Murphy prove that Ste was okay. While Ste kept his identity secret for the moment, a scuffle soon broke out when Murphy ordered Sienna to delete her recording.
As Murphy played the recording, Liberty realised that the voice they were hearing was Warren Fox — with Dilly sarcastically quipping that it was no surprise Warren was involved.
Maxine decided to make a break for it, knocking over Murphy and sending the gun gliding across the floor. As Dilly and Liberty held Murphy down, Sienna confronted the masked man.

The other women were trying to keep Murphy down before a gunshot went off… and the hostage-taker was suddenly no longer moving.
A horrified Maxine revealed she'd been holding the gun as the episode ended…
