"Hollyoaks" video clip: One less McQueen

It's the aftermath of the explosion, and when it's all over, one McQueen child will not survive. Join us after the break for another Hollyoaks Megapost!

Note: We're going to keep the spoilers at a minimum, so you can experience superior dramatic storytelling.

In the first of our two clips, Myra is combing through the wreckage for her children. She doesn't get an answer from John Paul, however, because Niall still has control of him. He explains to J.P. more about his decision to kill Kieron (hint: it's all J.P.'s fault).

The second clip is a corker, as Jacqui proves she has a little Niall in her, and Niall shows he may have one last shred of humanity. Meanwhile, a certain McQueen child is in dire straits....This clip has it all..tears, recriminations, and a self sacrifice. Make sure you watch the final shot closely!

This is great stuff, and it certainly puts most other soaps to shame. I haven't seen this kind of go-for-broke television since the 80's. Superior acting (from everyone), tense dialogue (which is sure to have repercussions for everyone involved), and a perfect denouement.

What did you think about how the show handled it? Let us know in the comments!
