With Halloween approaching, things are about to get even scarier in Hollyoaks.

Viewers have been kept on the edge of their seats this week by the actions of the Channel 4 soap's serial killer, Silas Blissett.

But things have got even hotter with the release of a new promo picture.

Who's next? Hollyoaks serial killer Silas will strike again this Halloween but viewers are being kept guessing as to who his next victim will be

Feline foxy: The Hollyoaks stars dressed in PVC catsuits complete with stiletto boots and tight corsets

It shows a grim reaper surrounded by four women, all dressed as Catwoman, in PVC catsuits complete with stiletto boots and tight corsets.

The four represent the potential victims of Silas this weekend.

In the lead up to Fright Night at Chez Chez, Silas - played by Jeff Rawle - has chosen Amy Barnes, Lynsey Nolan, Texas Longford and Theresa McQueen as the pawns in his grisly game.

Let me go: The crazy character has had Mercedes locked up in his vault for days but will she be the next one to die?

Psycho: Silas, played by Jeff Rawle, has already committed several murders in the village

At the beginning of the week Silas made Lynsey part of his game by giving her the chance to identify his next victim before he kills them.

Nurse Lynsey - played by Karen Hassan - must guess who the next victim is and if she does, Silas will hand himself in, but if she doesn't then he will strike again.

But by Friday night, terrified Lynsey is still trying to work it all out.

However, Riley may have more of an idea.

Silas's grandson starts feeling suspicious once again and begins to doubt his grandfather's innocence, but will he realise that Silas has been the killer all along?

If he does then he needs to act upon his instincts soon as the crazy character is still holding Mercedes captive in his vault.

Not to mention previously released pictures showing Silas committing his next murder by using a brick to smash in the head of a mystery woman.

Following the dramatic episode next Monday, the villagers are shocked when they realise that the serial killer has struck again, but hardcore fans don't have to wait that long as they can get first look at the Halloween antics this Friday at 7pm on E4.

She's said won't be having a beach wedding because she hates the heat.

But Gemma Merna certainly looked to be enjoying her Spanish break with fellow Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter over the weekend.

The blonde beauties frolicked in the water, topped up their tans and drank cocktails on a boat.

She admitted she had to work hard to keep up her curves.

'I work out pretty regularly to keep in shape,' she told Ok!Extra magazine.

A girls weekend: The girls are best friends are are often seen holidaying together - but there was no sign of Gemma's fiance Ian Minton

'I see a trainer twice a week and also do boxing, running and lots of sit-ups.

'I’m pretty careful with my eating during the week but I indulge at weekends. It’s sausage butties and Indian ­takeaways all the way.'

She said she loved her 30F chest.

'I wasn’t happy with the way they looked before.

'I got them boosted and I’m so happy with them. I’ve got so much confidence.'

Gemma became engaged to long-time boyfriend, property developer Ian Minton, in 2009.

She recently said she was taking a backseat when it came to planning the wedding, letting her fiance organise things.

'He's super organised and I'm laid back, so I'll be letting him do the planning,' she said.

'But I'd like something small and relaxed.'

But she added that one thing she definitely doesn't want is a beach wedding, explaining: 'My fiancé and I got engaged in the Maldives and wanted a beach wedding, but I hate the heat.'

Meanwhile, Jorgie, who plays Theresa McQueen, has started training hard for the new series of ITV1’s Dancing On Ice.

A show source told the Daily Star Sunday: 'With curves like that she’s going to be a massive hit with fans.'

A New Zealand boat? The boat was called Kia Ora, which means hello in Maori

Hollyoaks is a soap that's become famous for its glamorous female stars.

And this was in evidence today when several of its current actresses turned out for the soap's annual charity ball.

Jennifer Metcalfe, Jorgie Porter and Rachel Shenton were all on sparkling form upon arrival the event which was held at Chester racecourse.

Raising funds for a good cause: The actress, who plays Mercedes McQueen in the soap, arrived with her boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon

Leader of the pack, and longest-serving cast member, Jennifer Metcalfe was the star of the show wearing a low-cut pink top and black trousers - both of which accentuated her toned curvy figure.

The 28-year-old added some black accessories to her outfit with a handbag, wide belt and a pair of heels all matching to create an understated look.

Meanwhile Jorgie Porter, who plays Theresa McQueen on the show, wore a smart red dress with a check design across it - matched with black studded heels and a black handbag.

Checkmate: Jorgie Porter looked great in her checked red dress which she teamed with a pair of studded heels

The look of love: Jorgie Porter and her boyfriend James Atherton have a laugh on the red carpet at the Hollyoaks charity ball

The 24-year-old actress carried bags from Merabi, a Manchester-based boutique indicating that the items she was wearing may have come from that very shop.
She happily posed with co-star James Atherton, who appears as her on/off screen boyfriend Will Savage.

Like a couple of teenagers: Jorgi and her boyfriend shared some kisses at their hotel before the ball earlier in the day

Earlier in the day the couple had been seen kissing at their hotel ahead of the party.
Finally Rachel Shenton went for a maxi dress in khaki green, she arrived wearing flip flops, although likely swapped those for a pair of heels later in the evening in keeping with the glamorous theme of the event.

Leggy ladies: Alice Barlow, Bronagh Waugh and Stephanie Davis were dressed up for the occasion

Dressing up: Ashley Slanina-Davies, Anna Shaffer and Jessica Forrest

And given that it was nearly the weekend, Gemma probably indulged in a calorific treat, after explaining recently that she watches what she eats during the week but allows herself a free reign at weekend.

She said: 'I'll eat sausage butties, Indian takeaways, chocolate or the odd glass of wine - whatever I fancy!

'I used to be stricter, but now my metabolism is faster I can be more relaxed.'

The annual event aims to raise funds for Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool and Claire House Hospice in nearby Wirral.

Last night fellow Hollyoaks actress Gemma Merna proved she is still doing all she can to wow her beau as the pair stepped out for dinner last night.

The 26-year-old actress looked stunning in a bright red dress which highlighted her incredible curves as she and Minton grabbed some food at the San Carlo Italian restaurant in Liverpool.

Teaming the dress with a pair of gold heels and matching sequinned bag, Gemma smiled for photographers as she posed with Minton outside the eatery.
