Hollyoaks' wedding murder victim unveiled as Lisa Loveday played by Rachel Adedeji

The victim of Hollyoaks' shocking murder on Monday as the soap returned from its lockdown break has been confirmed as Lisa Loveday, played by Rachel Adejei, in a case of mistaken identity.

Viewers had been left guessing because during Scott and Mitchell's wedding, Mitchell Devereux had fallen out with his brother Toby Faroe.

Mitchell then went to lie down under a sheet in the hotel room to calm down.

Toby was seen entering a room wielding a cane and and furiously smashing it over a lump under a sheet in a bed.

But fans did not see the reaction of the person underneath if there was one, so it was left on a cliffhanger as some fans were convinced it was Mitchell but others thought it was Lisa.

Toby collapsed as he ran out of the hotel room and Celeste ran over to him, asking what had happened.

"I'm so sorry," he sobbed."

Celeste walked into the hotel room, lifted up the covers of the bed and gasped in horror.

"The blood, the body, what do we do?" she asked Toby.

Celeste then devised a plan to clean Toby's prints off the room and the weapon, but Mitchell's friends were knocking on the door looking for him.

Celeste and Toby rolled up the body and lifted it up - and then it was dramatically revealed that Mitchell was safe as he appeared and chatted to Scott.

That meant Toby had mistakenly killed someone else - Lisa, Toby's own cousin, who was revealed to have been having a lie down in the couple's room.

Her pals were confused as Lisa did not arrive at the party after the wedding, with Mitchell wondering where she was.

Rachel had already announced her plans to leave over racism allegations on the set, but that didn't make her character's death any easier for her fans.

One tweeted: "i’m gonna cry lisa my sassy baby #Hollyoaks".

"@RachelASongs @Hollyoaks won’t be the same without Lisa Loveday #HollyoaksReturns #Hollyoaks" added another.

"I was aware that the lovely Rachel is quitting (let's not get into the reasons right now), but that it's Lisa under the covers is quite a shock. #Hollyoaks" wrote a third.

A fourth added: "Nah lisa deserved a better exit #Hollyoaks".

Another wrote: "I knew it!!!!! I knew it was Lisa and NOT Mitchell #Hollyoaks wow.... soo much drama. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TOBYYYYYY????"

* Hollyoaks airs weekdays on Channel 4 at 7pm
