After what seems like an eternity, are we finally seeing the beginning of the end of this once-great storyline - and indeed the (now awful) character of Lindsey?

I really do hope so. Sophie Austin gave a convincing performance during the reveal and the immediate aftermath episode. I was actually quite pleased that Lindsey was the GHK and at that point it was quite believable. Since then, it's been downhill all the way and the direction that the story has taken is just plain silly and makes no sense whatsoever.

Lindsey as a character hasn't been explored and neither have any of the deaths - unless we see this later. I would have liked to have seen flashbacks to all the deaths other than just Rick, whilst watching Lindsey slowly unravel and live up to her supposed split personality. I certainly didn't expect disturbing manipulation of a young child or imaginary babies

Kim is walking around the village and continuing to work alongside her at the hospital - knowing how many murders Lindsey has committed and neither says or does anything about it. I would at the very least have expected to have seen Kim struggle to live with the shocking truth and begin unravelling herself - unless what we are finally seeing is exactly that. There have been so many stupid and senseless twists and turns - and all to allow to go off and have some acting lessons! Obviously (hopefully) with the imminent return of the story will move on and finally put us all out of our misery. Another (very rehearsed) grin from Sophie could tempt me to smash my TV in!

I also think that the surprise return of Silas and connecting him to this story is an insult to the magnificent Jeff Rawle and a huge mistake!

What are your views on this storyline and the weird direction it's taken since the reveal? It can't end soon enough for me.

I hope not! He's worth so much more than that!

Lindsey needs to be caught and pay for her crimes! I want to see her suffer not just snuffed out and escape punishment!

Killing her off - by Silas of all people - is just too easy and a lazy way to end the story.

I think it's obvious that Lindsey will walk straight into one of Silas' sinister traps, but knowing BK, Lindsey will kill him and end his reign as top serial killer!

I don't think Jeff Rawle would come back for any old storyline. I have hope that it's good, i do think however this story will be the end for both killers.

I agree seeing as he never got to kill the other Lynsey. This Lindsey could be his 'compensation' so to speak. I really hope Silas has something to do with the storyline coming to an end. I stand by the belief that I don't think the GHK should have been Lindsey.

We're definitely seeing a shift in momentum now that Trevor has been cleared. The plods have realised that murders have actually been committed and their prime suspect is now in the clear (and was obviously being framed). I think it is pretty certain that Silas' and Lindsey's paths will intertwine. I have a suspicion that this will culminate in Silas' death and Lindsey's arrest in some way or other.

As an aside I wonder how this will effect Ben? He clearly still thinks Trevor is responsible for the death of his daughter but has no way of pinning anything on him now re the GHK.

Trevor will y still be guilty in the eyes of some even if Lindsey is caught and arrested.

How is Lindsey strolling around in broad daylight injecting people undetected

CCTV? There's no way Lindsey could have destroyed any cameras prior to attacking Esther without being seen! Heard, but not seen!

BIB - I have to agree. I said at the time it was the wrong choice, would rather it became Kim. At the time, she was the one acting crazy at the time and since the reveal, she's actually calmed down. It's even gotten to the point that anyone who's new to watching this wouldn't think it was the same character

It has to be ending soon. Not only has Lynsey been so suspicious lately, she has now made herself the prime suspect. Trevor was framed! Nancy said she was going to the police so Charlie could tell them that Lynsey made him lie and say it was Trevor that killed S'avage, so why hasn't the police gone to Lynsey to question her?

She works at the hospital, played a part in framing Trevor by getting a kid to lie and the police know that whoever is doing it would need to have medical knowledge and access to get and use the right drug. It all points to Lynsey.

The police should be questioning her now! Although I see it being dragged out for a few months longer. I really hope it ends soon though and not something we have to see dragged on until October.

The hospital must have CCTV in and out, ignoring CCTV is standard for soap though. They even had a storyline where Will used the CCTV camera's that Dodger put up around the village to spy on Texas, but they have all now disappeared.

As for Silas, I hope he isn't just apart of the GHK storyline and they are going to do more with him. I want the GHK story to end soon, but I don't want Silas to leave quickly. He also shouldn't be killed off.

I do hope so.

I know it seems like sacrilege to say it, but I think the producers are too desperate in milking Silas for all he's worth.

And Kim should not get away with shielding Lindsey.

Hope this ends with Lindsey getting killed off. Sick to death of her character long before she was revealed as GHK. Just hate watching her and those pathetic faces she keeps making.

Better yet, Birkwood will leave too at the end of the storyline.

I definitely think with Silas back he'll kill Lindsay. He would probably see Killing a serial killer has the ultimate challenge add the fact it's a woman makes it even better for him.

Kim needs to redeem herself by coming clean and helping to orchestrate Lindsey's downfall.

It's been hinted that there will be another death(s) before she is caught so I wonder who exactly that will be!

Silas is far too clever for Lindsey, and I'm almost certain now that SHE will be the one who didn't get away! I really do hope that isn't killed off though and serves her time. After all, Hollyoaks do love their comebacks!

She clearly is, and I think you're absolutely right!

Although it has to fit the story and they play a starring role in it - Lindsey looks a little odd wearing the gloves on the poster don't you think?

Even though it made all the front pages of The Chester Herald, I doubt it

Out of the current residents, Mercedes, Theresa and Nancy have history with him. Tony, Ste, Myra, the Osborne's, Cindy, Dirkand a few others were around during his 'prime', so they should know even if they never had scenes with him before.

The clash of the titans And yes, the story is beyond ridiculous now. Kirkwood just does not know to end things on the high.

That is very true. Ideally, it would have ending during the anniversary week I think, the reveal on the Tuesday, ends on the Friday. That would have been better than dragging it out I think

I think if Lindsey dies at the hands of Silas it'll have something to do with Mercedes.

Mercedes is the one that got away in Silas's eyes and if Mercy and Joe go back together (again) Lindsey will have no qualms trying to off her (again). Maybe Silas will kill Lindsey for trying to steal his kill. Actually saving Mercedes in the process.

I don't want her to be just offed by a fellow serial killer. I want to see her confronted by families of her victims and feel scared out of her mind. And if it has to be in Orient Express manner then be it

He's snooping around the hospital, asking questions. It's enough if Tegan mentions it around Lindsey and he's finished off before he can say potassium chloride. It would be funny if he, such a badass, would be zapped like a fly by a competition.
