Hollyoaks star James Sutton is leaving his role as John Paul McQueen, it has been revealed.
James has played the popular character on and off since 2006, but is said to be bowing out of the show as part of an explosive storyline.
The Sun reports that John Paul is set to meet a grisly ending after driving off the edge of a cliff in his car in dramatic scenes airing later this year. However, bosses are remaining tight-lipped as to whether this will actually be John Paul's exit storyline or not.
Earlier today, we revealed that the Channel 4 soap
would be killing off another character as the Nightingale family were all spotted filming a funeral - with a few notable omissions.
Dallas star Linda Gray has returned to film the sad storyline, but interestingly, John Paul's on-off boyfriend James Nightingale was nowhere to be seen, sparking speculation that the funeral was for him.
Could the couple potentially meet their maker in the car crash stunt together? Or are the Nightingales rallying around to support James as he mourns John Paul's loss?
James played John Paul for two years between 2006 and 2008, before reprising the role in 2008. His most memorable stories have included his popular relationship with Craig Dean, his romance with Ste Hay, and his male rape storyline in 2013.
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
