'Hollyoaks Later' parachute death revealed?
Published Wednesday, Aug 26 2009, 19:05 BST | By Kris Green | 26 comments
The team behind Hollyoaks Later have this afternoon released two images of funeral wreaths, further adding to speculation over which long-term castmember will plunge to their death when their parachute is sabotaged and subsequently fails to operate.
In scenes to be aired on Thursday, October 1, tensions between Sarah, Zoe and Lydia (Lydia Kelly) reach boiling point. Believing that Sarah's seeing Zoe behind her back, Lydia's consumed with jealousy and decides on suicide. However, at the last minute, she decides to sabotage one of the girls' parachutes instead. Lydia's further left in turmoil as the packs are mixed up.
A guilt-ridden Lydia then takes to the skies with Zoe and Sarah and she reluctantly stands back in the plane, completely unaware whether Sarah or Zoe has the tampered-parachute on their back...
Yesterday, the paparazzi were out in force in the grounds of a church where the Hollyoaks cast and crew were filming the aftermath of the Hollyoaks Later death and a red wreath spelling out 'Sarah' could be seen in one of the photos.
However, producers today further muddied the waters by confirming that two endings to the story have been filmed - one in which Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley) falls to her death and the other in which Zoe Carpenter (Zoë Lister) perishes at the hands of a saboteur.
Click here or on the image below to scroll through the funeral gallery. From the pictures, you'll see that Lydia survives the incident, while friends and family of both Zoe and Sarah turn out to pay their respects to their beloved friend or relation.
Who dies? Zoe or Sarah?
Earlier today, it was also confirmed that singing legend Bonnie Tyler is to make a special cameo appearance in a dream sequence alongside Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna).

I reckon it is Sarah because she is not on the beginning of the normal hollyoaks introduction where they show alllll the cast, she was normally last but now all of a sudden she isn't there? Hmm....alternatively could be a twist where they both die being as they have two wreaths with their names.

I hope Lydia dies and Zoe and Sarah live because they are the best if i that to put just one of the two it would have to be Zoe because see had slept with Mike's older girl Sarah and that was so not right of her.

As much as I hate Zoe and her awful acting I have a feeling it'll be Sarah. Amy HATED Zoe, so why would she come to her funeral? Plus Lydia intended to kill Zoe so it doesn't really have the same effect.

Apparantly Lydia cuts the strings on her own chute but they get mixed up and its unknown who ends up with it!! I hope its Sarah that ends up with the dodgy chute!! I like Zoe - she's more mature and sensible.

To me it has to be Sarah. Lydia wants Sarah to herself and thus wants to get rid of the competition. However Sarah takes the parachute and thus.... I also think that's why Amy returns. She really didn't like Zoe after Zoe was found to be sleeping with Mike. Secondly I read awhile back that Zoe was leaving, whereas Sarah's has been kept a secret till now. Building Suspense?

Well, I have to agree with the people who think it might be both Sarah and Zoe that die... or I sit here with fingers crossed that its definitely Sarah...just think she is soooo false (I know cliche lol) others seem to play their parts more naturally.

Definitely Sarah who dies as Amy is back at the funeral. No way would she come back to Hollyoaks for Sarah's mate's funeral. [Who's to say that she's returned from the funeral? She might be back beforehand? - KG]

Well whoever lives or dies, it's clear they both never want to return. If it's Sarah who dies, it would be why Amy will be there. But why is she there for Zoe as well? Myself i would think Sarah as more people would imagine it to be Zoe as it could shock people.

It could be either one of them. Amy would be there for Zoe's funeral because she did kinda become part of the family with Mike and Archie would be at Sarah's funeral because they had a bit of a relationship and Archie fancies Sarah - so who knows???

I think it might be Zoe to fall to her death because if it were Sarah's funeral why would Archie be there :/ then again if it were Zoe's funeral why would Amy be there?
