Ash decks Ravi, Lucas's struggle, Carl's jealousy

It's the beginning of the end for Hollyoaks' Ash Roy in a fortnight's time as he knocks his brother to the ground, sending him into a coma.

As I revealed last month, Ash - played by Junade Khan bows out of the Channel 4 soap at the beginning of next month when he's disowned by his family. Producers have subsequently confirmed his decision to quit and he makes his screen exit on Friday, September 11. His screen parents Bel (Nila Aalia) and Gov (Anthony Bunsee) ">follow shortly after.

He doesn't go quietly, though. At the wasteland where the illegal bare-knuckle battles take place, a fight breaks out between Ash and his brother Ravi (Stephen Uppal), during which Ash punches Ravi to the floor, causing his sibling's aneurism to burst and ultimately leaving him in a coma.

Before going for good, though, he reveals a 'shocking' family secret which has major repercussions for the rest of the clan.
