Hollyoaks fans were shocked when a character on the soap was unexpectedly killed off.
Sienna Blake was killed by her own daughter Nico, who had seemingly come back from the dead to exact revenge on her mother in a dramatic episode on E4 on Tuesday.
Nico, who was thought to have died in a fire in 2016 after being abandoned by Sienna, revealed herself to be her mother’s stalker after months of mystery.

Nico then stabbed her, and Sienna was later pronounced dead in hospital.
