After Hollyoaks bosses announced an explosive storyline for Mercedes McQueen, AKA Jennifer Metcalfe, which sees her being shot and left for dead in tonight's episode (5th Nov), fans of the show have been speculating which character will be the culprit.
Some have argued it will be Grace Black, after Mercedes ran her over and never admitted her wrongdoing, instead letting Harry Thompson take the blame.
She's also cheated on her hunky husband Sylver with bad boy Liam Donovan - and let us not forget, she basically abandoned her son Bobby... So at this point, it could be anyone.
Now that the shooting episode is almost upon us, show bosses have revealed the seven people who are most likely to have shot the beloved character, meaning one character's comeuppance is surely on it's way.
Hollyoaks: Who shot Mercedes McQueen?
1) Diane Hutchinson
First up is Diane Hutchinson, who will no doubt be fuming that Mercedes and Liam framed her step-son Harry as the driver during Grace's hit-and-run.

4) Breda McQueen
Could Mercedes mother and current serial killer Breda McQueen stoop as low as killing Mercedes? She's killed plenty of the village residents before, so it's highly likely.
5) James Nightingale
The soap's producers also revealed James Nightingale is on the war path, following Harry's death and being kicked out of his home. Will he find out about Mercedes using Harry as a scapegoat and turn on the beauty?
