JOEL ON A KNIFE EDGE

Hollyoaks spoilers: Bart McQueen threatens to tell Warren Fox the truth about Katy’s death as Joel Dexter warns him to leave Chester

If Warren finds out the truth about Joel's involvement in Katy's death the consequences will be explosive

JOEL Dexter is still hanging by a thread in Hollyoaks as Warren Fox gets closer to finding out his role in Katy's death.

After confirming to dad Warren that Bart McQueen killed Katy last week, Joel warns Bart to leave the village as notorious bad boy Warren is likely to want revenge.

Katy Fox died of a heroin overdose, using drugs supplied to her by Bart and Joel.

So far Joel has managed to conceal his involvement from Warren - though his dad became suspicious last week when he realised how much Joel knows about hard drugs, while in hospital checking on Cleo McQueen.

But Bart threatens to tell Warren the whole story unless Joel gives him his watch and chain - so he does.

Warren then asks Joel where Bart is at the garage, but gets no answer, and they are interrupted by Sienna, who has big worries of her own to address.

Trainee priest Joel has been watching his own back and trying to make sure his dad doesn't find out about his chequered past for weeks.

First Shane showed Joel video footage that linked him to Katy Fox's dying moments - and sent it to Warren after he lost patience with Joel, who he was blackmailing.

But Warren didn't watch the video, so the explosive consequences of Warren finding out about Joel's involvement in the death were postponed.

Then last week, he made sure to distract Warren from tracking down Shane, laying a false trail so that he wouldn't get to talk to the man who knew what Joel had done.

But Joel is walking an increasingly tricky path and it looks as if Warren is very close to finding out the truth. The consequences are sure to be dramatic.
