Hollyoaks will air another dramatic Blue attack next week, as the mystery villain shoots a village resident.
Warren Fox is still desperately trying to work out the identity of gangster Blue, who recently shot him and appears to be sending him worrying threats.

Although Norma's fate is still up in the air, The Sun reported earlier this month that she was going to be murdered as part of a revenge plot, although the soap has not confirmed this.
Regardless of whether Norma lives or not, Glynis Barber, who plays the character, has confirmed that she has filmed her final scenes on the soap following a "special" last day of shooting.
Meanwhile, Tamara Wall, who plays Grace Black, has teased that the soap's fans will be shocked by the eventual reveal of who Blue is
"I can tell you that it's not who you think it is," she said. "Honestly, I was like, 'What?!'
"That's all I'm going to say. It's shocking. And it's not me! That I can tell you."
Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Friday, July 26 on Channel 4 streaming, and on Monday, July 29 on E4.
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
