Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Joe McGann's Hollyoaks baddie Edward Hutchinson is on his way out of the Channel 4 soap.
The master manipulator has terrorised Tony Hutchinson (Edward's son) and Tony's wife Diane all year – even shacking up with the latter in a crazy turn of events – but as we know, soap villains always get their just deserts in the end.
