HOLLYOAKS - Horror Train Crash: First Pics

As we know from the newly released trailer, there's going to be a massive train crash in Hollyoaks very soon - and life will not be the same again.

It's been revealed that the cause of the crash will be Patrick Blake, who would have just reunited with his wife Maxine, after blackmailing her to return to him. It's since been noted that abusive Patrick will soon return to his old ways, and leave a tracking device on Maxine's phone - locating her to the terror train, where Maxine's true love, Dodger, is playing happy families with Theresa McQueen and their baby daughter. (Don't say you're confused - this is Hollyoaks after all!)

Newcomer Lockie, and his bride Porsche McQueen are celebrating their nuptials on the party train, when the accident happens - meaning each of the McQueen family, along with Cameron, Dodger, Maxine, Patrick and Sienna - are involved in the crash - and explosion to follow.

Who's missing?

Carmel wakes first, and looks for survivors, but does this mean she'll survive herself?

We know that both Carmel, and her sister Mercedes, played by Gemma Merna and Jennifer Metcalfe, are leaving Oaks... Will they both die?

Who survives?

The spoiler pics show multiple versions - with characters missing in each. One picture sees McQueen favourites Carmel, Mercedes and Theresa all missing from the main lineup, while another sees Myra, Dodger and Phoebe absent.

It's also been revealed that Maxine will give birth in a woodland shed following the crash, with Patrick at her side. Will she and the baby be okay?

Knowing Hollyoaks, it'll be a shocker either way this story goes. But I think it's a given that either Mercy or Carm will be victims of this... Maybe even both of them...
