“Her life is very much threatened.”

Hollyoaks actor Louis Emerick has warned that Misbah Maalik is in “serious danger” as the Blue storyline continues.

A mysterious gangster named Blue has been targeting Warren Fox recently, sending anonymous threats, getting henchman Rex to spike him with LSD, and even killing his mother Norma Crow. Viewers now know who Blue is (big spoilers here), while most of the soap’s characters are completely in the dark.

Former police officer Donny Clark is trying to investigate Blue, and his actor Louis has teased that it’s a dangerous path to be going down.

Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, he said: “Misbah ends up in serious danger as this Blue story unfolds. Her life is very much threatened, and that scares the bejesus out of Donny. It raises the stakes for him even more.

“The fans are very protective over Misbah, but Donny will do everything he can to look after her. Donny is totally smitten with her!”

He adds that Donny has a long-lasting frustration that he never got to take Blue down while he was in the police force, which is why he’s so insistent on solving it now. Misbah also gets very excited at the prospect of going undercover and solving a mystery, but obviously that feeling won’t last when the danger becomes very real.

Furthermore, scenes set to air very soon will see Donny’s son Andre injured in this storyline too. How many people are going to get hurt before Blue is brought to justice?

The storyline ties in with Warren Fox’s exit, and actor Jamie Lomas has promised it’s going to be a really good send-off.

Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
