So what happens next?
Why is Hunter Owen holding everyone hostage?
Seeking revenge on Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) for shopping him to the cops, escaped killer Hunter was on the loose despite mum Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) plotting to get them out of the country.
Breaking into the boozer's barrel store homicidal Hunter spooked landlady Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). Hubby Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) later found his missus with the toxic teen pointing a gun to her head, but Ray Kelly's murderer agreed to let L go so she could lure Jack to his doom. However, canny Mr Branning and Mel clocked Linda's terror when she found him and tried, unsuccessfully, to overpower Hunter among the barrels.
Leading Jack quietly through the bar, hoping to remain undetected among the crowd as they enjoyed the reception for a cancelled wedding after Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) jilted Callum Highway (Tony Clay), Big Mo Harris (Laila Morse) and Keegan Baker (Zack Morris) alerted the locals to Hunter's presence causing the convict to demand the door be barricaded.
As Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) burst in looking for pregnant daughter Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper), brave Mick led an attempt to tackle Hunter to the ground - and a shot was heard from outside…
