Manic Mac fires up a killer blast

As blast rips apart Hollyoaks High and Lydia drops bombshell

-

THESE are the first pictures of the devastatio­n caused by the fatal gas blast at Hollyoaks High School. During a week of drama, angry Mac Nightingal­e damages the school boiler in a fit of rage.

He then confronts his teacher girlfriend Neeta Kaur over her relationsh­ip with toy-boy lover Hunter McQueen.

Mac sets fire to a picture Hunter has drawn for Neeta, triggering the huge gas explosion. As our exclusive pictures show, Perry Lomax, Tom Cunningham, Alfie Nightingal­e and Lily Drinkwell are trapped when the floor collapses.

Soap bosses won’t say how many people die but there’s a special prize giving taking place in the school hall in memory of Jade Albright, attended by some of the soap’s biggest names.

Prince McQueen manages to get inside the building and helps his friends by putting a ladder over the hole. But it’s not looking at all safe as the teenagers struggle to get across.

A source said: “It really is a case of who will make it out alive?

“There are so many people inside the building.

“More than one life will be lost but everyone has been sworn to secrecy.

“The aftermath of the explosion will be heartbreak­ing and the scenes had some of the cast and crew crying as they were being filmed.

“This is a week no-one will ever forget.”

You can watch the C4 drama from a week tomorrow.
