Hollyoaks fans aren't convinced by Jonny Baxter's shocking U-turn
Yesterday's (November 13) first-look Hollyoaks stunned fans when Ray Quinn's Jonny Baxter admitted to Ste Hay that he no longer wanted to be a part of The Brotherhood.
After getting caught up in a violent clash between The Brotherhood and a rival far-right faction, a desperate Jonny appeared to turn on ring-leader Stuart Sumner and later confided in Ste over his plans to leave the group.
"He doesn't care about us, mate," Jonny told Ste. "He only cares about his own power, and it's only going to get worse... I want out!"

The timing of Jonny's confession soon raised suspicion among fans, with many suspecting the extremist was hoping to trap Ste, who was almost caught trying to leave the gang with the help of counter-terrorist organisation Prevent.
"It's a trap Ste, don't fall for it," one fan pleaded on social media. "I hope Ste sees sense and sees that Jonny is lying."
Others agreed, theorising that Jonny is almost "definitely setting a trap". "Why do I feel there's more to [it] than that and Jonny is setting some sort of trap?" another added.
JONNY IS LYING DON'T TRUST HIM STE

So Jonny clearly is setting Ste up by faking wanting out. When Ste and Jonny get to the taxi Stuarts in there and it's all been a plan to capture Ste and kill him. Sami will come to the rescue #Hollyoaks

With Stuart determined to kill Ste in light of his betrayal of the group, it's not yet known if Jonny is involved – and if anyone will make it out of the Brotherhood showdown alive.
