Claire Devine

One of the biggest villains to ever grace the soap was Clare Devine, who was played by Gemma Bissix.
Although it seemed that her character was killed off back in 2013, some fans think that she could be making return as the mystery gangster Blue.
One fan posted: "I just want it to be Clare Devine."
A second viewer wrote: "It would be massive if she’s back."
"Is Claire Devine returning as blue?" stated a third fan.
And a fourth viewer speculated: "I’m really intrigued now who ‘Blue’ is in Hollyoaks.
"Who could possibly have so much influence that they could get Ste off for Ella’s death?
"Not sure Clare Devine would have that much power. Need to know now."
Brendan Brady

The next big fan guess at who Blue could be is ex-Hollyoaks gangster Brendan Brady.
He left the show in 2013, but his time in the village had a huge impact on the soap.
Fans have been busy giving their verdict on if Blue is in fact Brendan.
This fan said: "I think it’s Brendan Brady personally he’s got blue eyes, had problems with Warren took Joel under his wing, in love with Ste so would try to destroy his relationship with James!"
Ryan Knight

Some fans have speculated Blue could be Ryan Knight.
Played by boyband star Duncan James, the character left the show in 2018 after he appeared to drown - although his death was never confirmed.
Fans think Ryan could be Blue as a nod to the fact that Duncan's band is called Blue.
One fan said: "Blue is clearly Ryan Knight back from the dead!"
Another speculated: "It's so obvs that Ryan Knight is Blue! He's from Blue!"
Cameron Campbell

Another fan theory is that Blue could be Cameron Campbell.
However, he is currently in prison serving a life sentence for six murders - one of which was his own brother Lockie Campbell
This hasn't stopped fans speculating with one saying: "Could Blue be Cameron Campbell? That would be a good plot twist!"
While this person added: "Please say Blue is Cameron Campbell!"
Scott Anderson

If Scott Anderson turned out to be Blue, this would be a real blast from the past.
The character was sent to prison in 2005, but could be out of jail by now.
This fan said: "Perhaps Warren wronged him in prison.

"Hollyoaks' first ever gangster vs Hollyoaks' first murderous gangster kinda of poetic when you think about it plus Scott Anderson would be a pretty big return."
