Meanwhile, Tony Hutchinson also looks utterly bereft as he watches on from the sidelines.
Fans will watch the shocking scenes on Wednesday on E4 with the episode also streaming on Channel 4.
A source said: 'Bobby's return was only going to be for limited stint but his death will have explosive consequences.
'With Jez claiming more and more victims, their loved ones will be left behind determined to get justice.
'This twist is going to set Jez against his own sister-in-law Mercedes McQueen and once she discovers the truth - hell hath no fury.'
The soap has a lot to celebrate with Channel 4 boss Ian Katz has revealed the ratings have surged 11 per cent since the show went down to three episodes a week.
He said: 'Channel4's much loved soap, Hollyoaks, is having quite a year.
'While most soaps are in decline, its viewership for the year to date is up 11% thanks to the brilliant creative leadership Lime's Hannah Cheers and our own Louise Donald.'
Later this year the Channel 4 soap will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a month-long celebration including a major stunt and a battle between two of the show's biggest villains - Jez Blake and Clare Devine.

Mo Gilligan's life off-screen including soap star girlfriend amid 'deadbeat dad' claims
Mo Gilligan is known for his role on The Masked Singer but he's hit the headlines recently amid claims he has an 18-month-old son with a model Mo Gilligan will be known on screen for his comedy sketches and his role on The Masked Singer. The 37-year-old comedian serves as one of four panellists on ITV's guessing game show and its spin-off, The Masked Dancer. Mo became part of the line-up with Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, and Davina McCall during the second series in 2020 after taking over from Ken Jeong and has remained on the show since. Away from his role on the show and stage, it has been reported that Mo has secretly fathered a child - and currently has another kid on the way. The Masked Singer star is currently getting ready to welcome his first child with current partner Taia Tulher, 28. It comes after Mo was slammed by the mother of his other child, Selina Christoforou. He grew up in Lambeth, South London, reports MyLondon, but unfortunately, Mo's parents divorced when he was five years old, which required him to divide his time between their homes. Mo expressed his appreciation for having both parents remain actively involved in his upbringing, as he said: "I think I've been very lucky. A lot of young black boys don't have a father in their lives. I love it, just me and my mum. Seal invited me to his show at the Palladium - that sounds so weird to say that - so I took my mum." The entertainer gained recognition and became a viral hit after posting comedic clips on his social media platforms whilst working in retail. Mo's breakthrough arrived in 2017 when rapper Drake discovered him. Before the allegations of a secret child, he was in a long term relationship with Sophie Wise. Many will recognise Sophie from her previous role as Carly Bradley in Hollyoaks. She has also appeared in various TV dramas and films - including brief stints in BBC medical dramas Holby City and Doctors. Until a few years back, Mo was living his mother before purchasing a five-bedroom property in North London. He said: "I looked at Surrey, a lot of people in TV move out there, but I work a lot in London so I bought in North London. "I bought a five-bedroom semi-detached house. I'm the first person in my family to buy a property so it's a big deal. A lot of my family and friends will be coming over." From beginning in a customer service role to becoming part of a huge TV show, there's no doubt his salary has increased dramatically. According to Entertainment Daily, Mo's net worth is estimated to be £18 million. Mo never announced he had become a father, but it was thought he met model Selina Christoforou, 35, online and went on to have a baby. A source said: "She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they'd been fairly careful. She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they'd been fairly careful. But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren't actually a couple. Selina went on to claim she knows how few times the star has met his son and insists she kept thinking things will get better for her "unbelievable" son. However, she said she understands you "can't make someone be a dad".

Jess Glynne blasts White House over ‘sick' video using Jet2 Holidays viral song
An incensed Jess Glynne has hit out at the White House after its official account jumped on the Jet2 Holidays viral trend to tweet about deportations. The travel operator's earworm of a jingle, which mixes Glynne's chart-topping 2015 song Hold My Hand with a catchy voice over from former Hollyoaks actress Zoe Lister, has become this summer's unexpected social media trend. TikTok users in particular, from places as far flung as the Philippines and people including Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum, have enjoyed filming their own versions and joke clips while using the trending audio. In a bizarre turn of events, the official government X account of President Donald Trump's White House jumped on the trend on Tuesday, playing the jingle over the top of a video showing people in handcuffs being ushered onto ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) deportation flights in America. The White House's X post, where the accompanying video now has 11.5million views, is captioned: 'When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!' Singer Glynne took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share her outrage over the White House involving itself in the light-hearted trend with its own twist. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'This post honestly makes me sick,' she began. 'My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.' Voice actress Lister also condemned the move, posting a picture on Instagram of herself leaning her chin in her hand. 'What can be done about @whitehouse using @jet2pics sound and my voiceover to promote their nasty agenda?' she wrote alongside her Story. To keep things light she then followed up with a clip of herself pulling a face and sliding her sunglasses over her eyes as the caption read: 'When your voiceover demands that you comment on US politics.' The White Houses video also shows immigration officers dragging people out of vans and parading them onto planes bound for foreign countries. It also features a screenshot of the US government app CBP Home, which is being used to allow migrants currently in the United States to self-deport, before ending with Trump smirking and giving a thumbs up to the camera. ICE is aiming for 3,000 arrests of immigrants in the US per day, with the video a clear attempt to promote Trump's migration strategy. However, it was met with shock online, as users branded it 'disgusting' and 'insane', with Gavin Wilson adding: 'The world is losing its grip on reality.' Journalist Will Lancaster revealed he had to 'double, and then triple check, at who [sic.] posted this'. 'It actually IS the official White House page, using a British airline advert trend to boast about deporting immigrants from their country, even including a Trump cameo at the end. 'Lost for words,' he added. More Trending Glynne, 35, and Lister , 43, finally met one another in person earlier this month when they appeared on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, to celebrate being the sound of the British heatwave summer of 2025. The I'll Be There singer Jess shared that she was grateful for the renewed interest in the song, revealing: 'Yeah, it's a massive surprise, 100%. It's the most amazing thing to see though.' She then performed her own version of Lister's famous voiceover, reading the full script out in the studio: 'Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday. And right now, you can save £50 per person. That's £200 off for a family of four!' Metro has contacted the White House for comment. Got a story?
