Hollyoaks confirms twisted Clare Devine scenes as two more villagers pay
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video
Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) is determined to get revenge on sworn nemesis Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) in Hollyoaks a decade on from their fiery feud.
Mercedes, as viewers will recall, was instrumental in the events which led to Clare meeting her demise – or so we thought! – in 2013.
But flash-forward 12 years and Clare is alive and well, though she'd happily allow us all to think otherwise given that she's faking a cancer diagnosis.
Mercedes, who has been battling cancer for over a year, empathised with former enemy Clare upon learning of her alleged diagnosis, with an unexpected heartfelt moment ensuing between the two.
The former pub landlady, however, was somewhat short with Clare subsequently when she discovered Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) hadvanished without a trace.
Offended by Mercedes' words, Clare decided it was time she sought revenge on her over their feud a decade ago.
The first step of her masterplan included tracking down fugitive Bobby and offering him a lift.
Delighted at having achieved her goal, Clare grinned with glee and subsequent scenes will see her locate detective Donny Clark (Louis Emerick), telling a huge lie as she claims that Bobby held her at knifepoint. Who will bring down Clare Devine? Mercedes - she will fume over what she's done to Bobby
The teens - as revenge for what she put them through
Grace - it will be her shot at redemption as she takes down her evil sister
Tom - her one true nemesis who deserves to have his chance at revenge
Determined to cause more trouble, the legendary soap schemer heads to the McQueens to informs Mercedes of Bobby's alleged crime, leaving Merce horrified.
After well and truly setting the cat among the pigeons, Clare then returns to the remote location where she's harbouring grateful Bobby, who is completely unaware that she's using him as a pawn in a much bigger game.
The end goal? To well and truly destroy Mercedes. More Trending
However, it turns out that – in addition to lying about cancer, feuding with Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), trying to win back Tori and antagonising Mercedes – Clare is also getting up to no good outside the village, with Jacob and Kat Omari (Ethaniel Davy and Sonia Ibrahim) caught in her dangerous web.
Upcoming scenes will see Clare – much like Rex Gallagher (Jony Labey) before her – make it quite clear that Jacob must do as he's told, otherwise Kat (Sonia Ibrahim) will be forced to pay for his mistakes.

Squid Game season 3 ending explained with shock cameo that'll make fans scream
Warning: major spoilers ahead for Squid Game season 3. Squid Game season 3 has finally dropped in its entirety on Netflix – and we're going to need a minute to pick our jaws up from the floor. The release date for the third season came just six months after the second, so viewers haven't had to wait long to find out what became of Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) after he failed to carry out a rebellion against the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). Not only does the final season reveal his fate, but it also features a mind-blowing cameo that's going to leave fans screaming at the top of their lungs. Let's unpack that ending, the arrival of a bona fide Hollywood legend and what it could mean for the future of this sadistic but gripping TV universe. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video At the end of Squid Game season three, the show flashes forward to six months after the latest game has ended… and reveals a major, shocking cameo in the final moments. The Front Man is in Los Angeles, paying a visit to Gi-hun's daughter, who lives in the US with her mother. The young girl is initially angry about being visited by someone who knows her father, as her dad hasn't spoken to her in years, but she's left shocked when she's then informed by the Front Man that Gi-hun has died and that he has come to deliver his belongings. When he leaves in his car, she opens the box that she was given to discover Gi-hun's bloodied Squid Game uniform, as well as a gold credit card in a little black envelope, presumably linked to the extraordinary amount of money that he previously won in the game. The Front Man drives into the city, and as his car pauses, he opens the window and looks out at a couple of people playing the game ddakji on the street. Rather than it being the Recruiter (Gong Yoo), who died in season two, it's a woman leading the game, playing against a man who looks as though he could be homeless. Whenever he loses a round, she slaps him in the face, just like how the Recruiter used to do. As the woman turns to look at the Front Man, it's revealed that she's played by none other than Hollywood legend Cate Blanchett. When her identity was revealed, our jaws were literally on the ground. The arrival of Cate in Squid Game, after her appearance was loosely rumoured in the past, feels like a game-changing moment for the franchise. On one hand, this might be a one-off cameo, allowing fans to let their imaginations wander as they consider how Squid Game might have expanded in the US (or already been operating). On the other hand, perhaps this could result in a Squid Game spin-off that focuses on the American faction of the competition? To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The creator Hwang Dong-hyuk previously spoke about developing a spin-off series and expanding the universe of Squid Game, telling Metro that he was keen on exploring the three-year gap between seasons one and two, which would reveal more about the Front Man, the Recruiter and Captain Park (Oh Dal-su). However, he did say that the idea wasn't set in stone yet… and maybe a spin-off with Cate as the new Recruiter could also be in the pipeline. We wouldn't put it past him! As with any season of Squid Game, there are plenty of devastating fatalities by the end of the final season. Most notably – this is sadly the end of the protagonist, Gi-hun. In the final game, the version of Squid Game where the remaining players are placed on huge pillars and forced to push others off the edge to survive, Gi-hun winds up one of the final players along with crypto influencer Lee Myung-gi (Im Si-wan) and the baby that Myung-gi had with the deceased Kim Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri). After getting into a brutal fight, watched by the ghoulish VIPs from their luxury box, Myung-gi falls to his death, while Gi-hun climbs back onto the pillar and picks the baby girl back up who he swore to protect. Forced to decide between saving his own life or the baby's – a choice that we audience members know is obvious – Gi-hun puts the baby down on the ground safely away from the edge and then declares that the players are human beings, not horses. He then leans backwards and falls to his death, resulting in the newborn being named the winner. After finding out that the coast guard is close to the island, the Front Man sets off a self-destruct button with a 30-minute timer and orders all of the guards to evacuate. When he goes to get the baby from the pillar, he's confronted by his brother, police detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon). The Front Man and the guards escape, while Jun-ho makes it off the island alive. Pink Guard Kang No-eul (Park Gyu-young), who almost took her own life, also decides to flee and survive. Six months later, No-eul reunites with Park Gyeong-seok (Lee Jin-wook), the player whom she helped escape the game so that he could return to his severely ill daughter. Now, his daughter is in better health, and Gyeong-seok still has no idea of the identity of the guard who saved his life. So, the only two players to survive from this latest iteration of the game were the baby and Gyeong-seok. No-eul is told that her daughter, whom she lost contact with after she defected from North Korea, is possibly alive in China, and so she makes her way there in the hope of a reunion. More Trending While Gi-hun's daughter is given a credit card with access to his prize money, former police detective Jun-ho is also in for a surprise when he goes home one day to find Jun-hee's now six-month-old baby on his bed. The baby has been left with a credit card that has access to the 46.5billion won prize money that the little girl is entitled to. Even though it appeared as though the Front Man wanted nothing to do with his brother, going so far as to tell Captain Park (Oh Dal-su) to kill him if it prevented him from finding the island, he does still seem to be looking out for him in his own twisted way.

Jake Paul dramatically storms off Piers Morgan interview after live TV row
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Jake Paul branded Piers Morgan a 'fat a**' before storming out of his Uncensored show. The YouTube star turned boxer was on the outspoken presenter's show to promote his upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday. However, tensions rose between the pair when Piers started to question his guest's resume as a boxer despite an 11-1 record as a pro. 'The only proper boxer you've fought was Tommy Fury and he beat you,' he argued. 'Peak [Mike] Tyson you wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds… Canelo Alvarez says he would potentially kill you!' Jake fired back: 'YouTube this, YouTube that, Disney that. This s*** is not a joke. 'I'm knocking out the best of the best. You vs. going to the gym… you're still a fat a**.' Later in the interview, the 28-year-old star – whose brother is WWE star and Prime Energy boss Logan Paul – took another shot at the interviewer. He said: 'I think the problem here, Piers, is that you think that your opinion matters.' Piers asked why he'd bothered to come on the show then, and Jake insisted: 'I'm just taking your audience to sell Pay-Per-Views. I don't give a f*** about your show. 'You dumba**. This is a f***ing business enterprise. Buy the Pay-Per-View on Saturday, June 28 – me vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody.' With that, the former YouTuber ended the Zoom call, but thankfully Piers appeared to take it in good humour. 'Cheers Jake, really enjoyed that,' he laughed. 'And good luck to Julio. Knock him out for all of us, will you?' At the beginning of the interview, things had appeared civil and jovial between the pair. Jake appeared in a giant sombrero, and shrugged off the idea he could be guilty of cultural appropriation. 'I'm the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, Piers, I don't know what you're talking about,' he joked. The host laughed at his remark, before asking him about Chavez, who Jake described as a 'dumba**', while branding this weekend's fight 'easy work'. More Trending It will mark Jake's first fight since his controversial fight against Mike Tyson in November 2024. He was awarded a points win over the boxing icon, more than three decades his senior. Answering his critics on Uncensored he argued: 'It's entertainment. If Mike Tyson wants to fight you, of course you're going to say yes. He walked away with tens of millions of dollars to support his family for the rest of their lives and we made the biggest fight history.
