Fuelled by anger and the need to be with his son Russ resorts to desperate measures. But will an enraged Russ finally escape the clutches of the McQueens
Stuart said I've had a great time at Hollyoaks over the last five years and I've learnt so much.
Russ has been a fantastic character and he's had some great storylines which have been great fun to play. I'll obviously be sad to leave but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into new projects.
Show producer Lucy Allan wished Stuart all the best, and added Russ has gone through some pretty rough times and this story sees the straw that breaks the camel's back. We feel that this is the just and fitting end to a character that has shown great diversity and been pushed so far".
