Blue's true identity has finally been revealed in a shocking twist on Hollyoaks. Actor Dominic Power, who plays the character Dave Williams, shared his thoughts on the major plot twist that has left fans reeling. For the past month, the mysterious Blue has been terrorizing Warren Fox, vowing to destroy him in any way possible. Warren has faced plenty of enemies in the past, but Blue's relentless attacks have left him baffled and confused. He even jumped to an unlikely conclusion, suspecting Freddie Roscoe – who is much too young – to be behind it all.
But on Friday, viewers finally got the answers they've been waiting for when Blue unmasked himself and revealed his true identity as Dave. This twist was unexpected, as the Dave we've come to know over the past three years is hardly the criminal mastermind type. According to Dominic Power, this was all part of the plan. "I've seen some people online say that Dave is too soft to be Blue, and that's exactly what we were going for," he said.
Dominic also admitted that he was surprised when he found out about the twist, just like the fans. It's hard to reconcile Dave's bumbling and kind-hearted nature with the calculated plot of the ruthless Blue. In fact, Dave has shown that he cares for people and has a heart, which is completely at odds with Blue's actions. Dominic explained that Blue is like an alter-ego for Dave, a persona he taps into when he's in criminal mode. This allows him to keep his criminal activities separate from his everyday life.
To prepare for the role, Dominic drew inspiration from shows like Breaking Bad and the film Nobody, to understand the mentality of someone leading a double life. "It's about believing your own lies and making it convincing," he said. "At any moment, he is either Dave or Blue."
One of the biggest questions raised by this twist is the role of Ethan in Dave's life. Ethan and Dave have been inseparable for years, and Ethan also had a brief stint with a dark side. But Dominic confirmed that Ethan has no idea about Dave's alter-ego, dispelling any doubts fans may have had. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," he said, hinting at the possibility that Dave may have always had a villainous streak.
Speaking of Dave's family, his wife Lizzie's tragic death – for which Warren was to blame – was the catalyst for Blue's emergence. But as Dominic revealed, it wasn't the only reason. The slow breakdown of Dave's family, starting with his daughters leaving and ending with his sons, was what pushed him over the edge. And while Dave claims to love Cindy, she may get caught in the crossfire of his ruthless plot.
Dominic also teased that Blue's plan to destroy Warren will involve not just the two of them, but also Ethan and Cindy. "I think you can expect a little rumble in the jungle, or the woods," he said, hinting at a showdown between the two enemies.
And it's not just Warren and his family who will be affected by Blue's actions. Donny Clark, a former detective on a mission to take down the crazed killer, will also cross paths with Dave. But Donny is convinced that Ethan – who is too young – is Blue, which may explain the controversial storyline involving Ethan and Vicky. Dominic confirmed that Donny will stop at nothing to find Blue, setting the stage for a showdown between the two enemies.
As for how the storyline will unfold, Dominic said it's been a lot of fun playing both Dave and Blue. "I've played about four different Dave's since being here," he said. "They've all been fun."
