The unmasking of the sinister villain will be one of the major
storylines taking centre stage when the Channel 4 soap celebrates its
big milestone in October.
Fans know that the Gloved Hand has claimed the lives of four characters
at Dee Valley Hospital since January, striking against Rick Spencer,
Will Savage, Mariam Andrews and Phoebe McQueen.
When the identity
of the unknown culprit is finally revealed to viewers, it won't be the
end of the storyline as there are still more twists and turns to come in
the dark tale.
Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood
commented: "Within the 20th birthday week, the Gloved Hand Killer will
reveal themselves to the audience in a truly spine-tingling way. That story will then take off in a direction that I don't believe anyone is going to see coming."
Another show regular will fall victim to the Gloved Hand later in the summer, and with the killer now targeting innocents as well as villains, it seems that nobody in the village is safe.
Hollyoaks turns 20 on October 23rd
