Hollyoaks continued to bring the drama in 2022 and fans have taken to social media to predict what storylines may occur in the new year.
Over the past 12 months, viewers of the Channel 4 soap have been treated to plenty of explosive plots.
With some villagers leaving for good to start their new adventures to new faces arriving and making their mark, there has been a lot going on.

There has also been some heartbreaking deaths, disastrous weddings and fierce showdowns.
As we prepare to enter 2023, Daily Star has put together a list of predictions from those who know Hollyoaks the best.
Eric’s redemption
Eric Foster’s (Angus Castle-Doughty) misogyny storyline has taken centre stage in 2022.
While some fans are keen to see him be punished for his behaviour, others are hoping that the misunderstood man manages to redeem himself over the next 12 months.
One fan wrote on social media: “Yeah it would be nice if they can make Eric see the error of his ways and become a better person.
“Even after all the awful things he’s said and done, there’s definitely potential there to turn him into a likeable character.”
Bobby’s next victim
Young killer Bobby Costello (Jayden Fox) is set to cause more carnage over Christmas as he attempts to murder Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood).
The evil schoolboy doesn’t like seeing Felix grow closer to his mum Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and tries to get rid of him for good.
However, things don’t go to plan and he ends up harming DeMarcus Westwood (Tomi Ade) instead.
Following the news that Bobby’s evil streak is set to reappear once again, fans have predicted that he’ll go as far as killing his own mum or auntie.
One fan said: “I think he’ll kill Mercedes.”
A second person typed: “I imagine he’d try killing Goldie but I doubt he’ll succeed again.”
“Mercedes is in danger if she keeps protecting Bobby,” said another.
Warren’s dad ‘exposed’

Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) was left gobsmacked earlier this year when he learned that Norma Crow (Glynis Barber) was his biological mother.
Viewers have since taken to their keyboards to predict that his father could turn up in the near future as Warren continues to find a match for a liver transplant.
One fan wrote online: “Has Warren’s father ever been mentioned on the show? They could end up bringing him in if he’s still alive.”
While another replied: “Brief mention of him by Norma before they fell off the balcony.”
Mandy return twist

Mandy Richardson was last seen in Hollyoaks village in January this year.
The character, played by Sarah Jayne Dunn, left the village for a new job in LA.
Actress Sarah Jayne was sacked from the Channel 4 soap in 2021 over a row over OnlyFans as she refused to give up her X-rated subscription account.
Fans are now convinced that Mandy could return played by a different TV star.
Taking to social media, one fan predicted: “If she came back that would be brilliant but they probably will just bring in another actress.”
While another added: “They’ll end up replacing her if they want that character back.”
