| Deputy Soaps Editor Published July 21, 2026 1:55pm Updated July 21, 2026 1:55pm Another character has been shot (Picture: Lime Pictures) Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Tuesday’s (July 21) episodes that are now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm. Another Hollyoaks character has met a grisly end – just days after Rex Gallagher’s (Jonny Labey) demise. Jenson Cole (Ryan Clayton), while tied to a chair with a bag over his head, was shot twice by brother Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) in dramatic scenes as things spiralled out of control. Warren, as viewers know, was taken aback when Jenson turned up in his life earlier this year, revealing himself to be his long-lost brother. Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), who previously had a fling with Jenson while she was in rehab, has long suspected that the newcomer cannot be trusted.

Warren, however, was willing to give him a chance after son Sebastian Blake (Teddie Williamson) learned his leukaemia was back, with Jenson proving to be a match for a bone marrow transplant.

Despite being outmatched, Jenson somehow managed to overpower his captors and escape. But before he could make it to the hospital, he was captured once more by the thugs. At the hospital, Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) – who was previously attacked by one of Gemma’s thugs – was tested to see if he was a match for Sebastian and once doctors confirmed that he was, let’s just say that everything changed. Jenson was shot by Warren (Picture: Lime Pictures) Warren subsequently located Jenson – with a bag over his head – tied up at a warehouse but with his sibling no longer required to be Sebastian’s donor, he decided that he would kill him. Prince McQueen (Malique Thomson-Dwyer), meanwhile, arrived out of nowhere and offered to kill Jenson for Warren, who was taken aback by the offer. Prince, as viewers know, is secretly plotting Warren’s downfall and a part of that plan will no doubt involve him getting close to the gangster so that he doesn’t see him coming. But despite his offer, Prince couldn’t go through with claiming a life and thus Warren decided to do it himself, firing two deadly shots at Jenson. Prince was absolutely speechless as he and Warren made a run for it. The question is: will anyone find out what transpired?
