Following the success of the recent spate of Hollyoaks set tours, production company Lime Pictures is opening the gates to the eponymous village once more for the terrifying HorrorOaks event. The ghoulish extravaganza, which of course includes a terrifying hour-long tour, is full of frights galore – and the best bit is that it will see the return of deceased characters from days gone by as former cast members take part and reprise their legendary roles. Obsessed already. Grace Black star Tamara Wall, whose on-screen alter-ego met a tragic end last year, will be back on set for the unmissable event – and her equally nightmarish sister Clare Devine will appear too. Gemma Bissix will appear as Clare Devine at HorrorOaks (Picture: Lime Pictures / Metro) As part of the fun, the Hollyoaks set will be transformed into a grim and spooky village, featuring low-light effects, fog, and chilling soundscapes.

Being revealed as the leader behind the exploitation of the local teens, Clare wasted little time in causing trouble, claiming she had cancer and teaming up with serial killer Jez, who drove a plane into the village as part of the show’s 40th anniversary. Clare vanished soon after but was apprehended. She later escaped from prison after several months and killed granddad Froggy (John Middleton) before being pushed from a pier by nemesis Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).

Whether or not we’ll see her on screen at some point in the future remains to be seen but fans can have their chance to see her in real-life at the HorrorOaks event on Saturday October 31.
