They left on 9 January 2013 when they went on the run. [6] Bart's reintroduction was announced on 26 January 2017 and Clarke expressed his delight at reprising the role. [7] Bart returned on 13 February 2017 and departed on 13 April 2017, at the conclusion of the guest stint.

Character creation

Details of the character first came to attention during an interview with producer Paul Marquess in April 2010. Marquess introduced several new characters in 2010 when he took over from Lucy Allan as series producer. Speculation grew over the McQueen family, due to the axing of many other characters. However, Marquess stated: "They're definitely staying! In fact, we're bringing in a new McQueen, who will change the dynamic of the family quite considerably. [8]

In another interview, Marquess revealed that the character was named after Bart Simpson, the mischievous character from American cartoon The Simpsons and also described him as a "ladies' man". [1] It was announced in June 2010 that Jonny Clarke had been cast as Bart. [9] This was also announced at the same time as fellow characters Brendan Brady and Lynsey Nolan. Paul Marquess spoke of the characters' introductions, saying: "This is a really exciting time for Hollyoaks and Brendan, Lynsey and Bart bring more fun, drama and sexiness to the show." [9] Clarke has described Bart as a "lad's lad". [10] Clarke revealed in July 2012 that he plans to be a rock star if his career in Hollyoaks fails. [11]

Character development

In April 2012, Bart becomes involved with "bad boy" Joel Dexter (Andrew Still) and he forces Bart to grow cannabis plants. [12] Clarke told a writer from Inside Soap that he is forced to show his girlfriend Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) what he is up to. Sinead is angered by his involvement; while Bart himself realises that he is out of his depth. [12] Clarke explained that his character does not know what he has agreed to do. When the plants arrive; Bart "puts on a front" and pretends to be "completely cool" with the situation. However, he is left feeling "unnerved" and faces the prospect of Myra discovering the truth when his usage of heat lamps cause her electricity bill to rise. [12]

The police later discover Bart's cannabis farm and arrest most of the McQueen family. However, Bart does not attempt to clear their name and asks Sinead to run away with him.

Departure

The first look airing of the episode airing on 8 January 2013 saw Bart and Joel Dexter (Andrew Still) go on the run from Brendan Brady (Emmett J. Scanlan) after he threatened both of them, but not before Bart said a final farewell to Sinead. The episode also saw Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) change her statement, which now left Bart in danger with the police. Clarke had filmed his final scenes in December 2012, after three years with the show. Clarke commented on his departure: "Hollyoaks has been a great stepping stone in my career, and leaving the show is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make so far. I believe I am at a great age to progress my career further. I am excited to see what the future brings. I hope to be involved in films and some period dramas. I would like to thank my family for their support and would also like to thank all my fans for all the great comments and good wishes they have sent me for my future career." [6]

Return

On 26 January 2017, it was announced that Clarke had reprised the role. [7] His character will return alongside Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) for Celine McQueen's (Sarah George) funeral. [7] Teasing Bart's new storylines, Clarke said "I'm so happy to be back at Hollyoaks. I can't wait for people to see the way Bart has changed since the last time he was in the village. He's definitely going to ruffle a few feathers with a sinister secret!" [7] Bart returned on 13 February 2017. [13] Bart made a previously unannounced departure from the show on 14 April 2017 when he was murdered by Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas). [14]

Bart shocks Myra by revealing he has shoplifted before, has an anti-social behaviour order, burnt a school down – although not proven guilty – and other misdemeanours. Dominic is about to have Bart taken into custody, when Myra agrees to look after him, as Bart has no one to look after him. She immediately warns Bart not to get up to any trouble. After a day at the McQueens, Bart is roped into helping Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna) at beauty salon Evissa.

Bart becomes friends with Taylor Sharpe (Shaun Blackstock), and they plan to throw a party at the McQueen house. Duncan Button (Dean Aspen) agrees to bring alcohol to the party, but instead posts details of the party online. The McQueen house is trashed and Bart steals money.

After being released from hospital, Bart and Anita Roy (Saira Choudhry) discuss Jason.

With the laptop locked inside restaurant Il Gnosh, Dominic sets fire to the place, killing Malachy and Steph Roach (Carley Stenson). Everyone begins to blame Bart for Dominic for torching the place. Jasmine stands by Bart and they get close once again with Bart encouraging her to come out. Bart and Jasmine go to the police about Fern stabbing Bart, leading Fern to reveal Jasmine's secret. Meanwhile, Bart makes peace with Jacqui to protect Theresa from her mother Kathleen (Alison Burrows). When Jason comes out to his family, Bart catches Jason cutting himself and agrees to run away with him. Bart admits he loves Jason and they kiss.

He and Sinead promise to always love each other and he leaves. He is later seen waiting for Jacqui to help him escape, but the police are then seen at Sinead's house, making it unclear if Diane or Jacqui have called the police.

At the christening reception, Bart steals money from the cards and persuades Cleo to take drugs with him again. However, instead, Cleo reveals that Bart is addicted to drugs and stole money so Myra alerts the police as Bart runs away.

Warren has left Bart's corpse in the empty flat in the building and he and Sienna go to retrieve it. However, the new occupants Sally St. Claire (Annie Wallace) and Neeta Kaur (Amrit Maghera) try to get in so Warren's hides the body in the attic. To get rid of the body Warren pulls the fire alarm and puts the body in his van wrapped in a rug but Joel later takes the van to the funeral of Amy Barnes (Ashley Slanina-Davies) because he has equipment in the van to set up the church but Warren gets there before he can discover Bart's body and when the van won't start he dumps the body in Amy's grave and the coffin containing Amy's body is buried on top and Joel later discovers and is overwhelmed in guilt for his part in Bart's death.
