HOLLYOAKS - Kieron Richardson reveals all...

As Ste Hay and John Paul McQueen grow closer, it seems that there could be a massive spanner or two thrown in the works to split the two before they've even begun.

Kieron Richardson has given an interview to Digital Spy about what the not-so-distant future holds for Ste and whether or not he'll be the next prime suspect in the Fraser Black murder case.

Did Ste kill Fraser?

Having spiralled into a world of drug taking, the last thing Ste wants is the now-homeless McQueen family ascending onto the boarding house, where he lives. But that's exactly what he gets.

After Nana McQueen plays matchmaker, John Paul and Ste (who's oblivious to JP's feelings) become closer than ever to admitting their attraction. One snag is Ste thinking that his dad is still interested in John Paul, himself (only in Oaks, only in Oaks!), leaving Ste feeling out in the cold.
Trying to move forward with his life, and off the drugs, Ste babysits JP's son, Matthew - which is when John Paul finds Ste's secret cocaine stash - leading to a war of words, where JP reveals that he hid a gun Ste was carrying on the night Fraser was murdered, to protect him, which shocks Ste to the core.

"That's another massive shock for Ste. At this point, Ste thinks that he's completely innocent and had nothing to do with killing Fraser, because John Paul lied to him. Ste's surprised when he hears that he did have the gun and John Paul found it and buried it to protect him. It was a massive thing for John Paul to do to make sure that Ste's name was cleared. Through all this happening, the mystery of who killed Fraser comes to the forefront of the shoe again - and Ste is right in the firing line," Kieron told Digital Spy.

Ste is right in the firing line indeed, as someone else overhears their secret... But who?

Going to retrieve the gun, JP and Ste find it missing.

So will Ste go down...and if he does, is he innocent or not?

We already know that it was John Paul's student, Finn O'Connor who attacked him, after a campaign of bullying against the teacher.

Finn has so far got away with his nasty, evil ways - most recently threatening Robbie Roscoe to keep quiet about what he has done, although show bosses have promised that Finn will eventually get his comeuppance.
