Hollyoaks fans were left reeling by Monday nights episode, which saw Ste Hays (played by Kieron Richardson) far-right indoctrination reach its peak as a terrorist attack took place.

Over the past few months, long-standing character Ste has slowly been radicalised by anti-Muslim extremists Jonny Baxter (Ray Quinn) and Stuart Sumner (Chris Simmons).

In this evenings scenes, the gang planned to use an explosive on the community centre on the day of his ex Sineads (Stephanie Davis) engagement party to new beau Sami (Rishi Nair), only to have their plan scuppered.

Fuming by the turn of events, Jonny went off the rails saying that he wanted to make the Muslim residents of Hollyoaks live in fear.

Were going to make them realise this is our country, our culture and were taking it back, he screamed.

Many fans online praised former X Factor star Rays incredible performance in the show, with one writing: bl***y hell Ray Quinn is a PHENOMENAL actor.

Um…when another racist walks out and says hes lost the plot ya know hes REALLY lost the plot #hollyoaks

While Ste backed down from getting involved in the attack, the bomb still ended up being detonated, leaving Jonny and Yasmine Maalik both caught in the firing line and suffering serious injuries.

The storyline has been a controversial one among Hollyoaks viewers, but following Mondays drama, many fans praised the shows willingness to tackle such a controversial real-world issue.

Its been uncomfortable to watch & its been so frustrating to watch Ste not back down, but the whole point of this storyline was to show how easily it is to prey on the vulnerable, & brainwash that individual, one Twitter user wrote, adding: This is why #hollyoaks won best soap, everyones been amazing.

#Hollyoaks ending gave me chills tonight. And not little chills. All over body chills. Great work. ?
