Kyle Ryder

Kyle Ryder was a drug dealer who had a brief relationship with Theresa McQueen.
Kyle and Theresa first met in April 2010 when Anita Roy noticed that his car had broken down and revealed that Theresa was interested in mechanics. After Theresa fixed his car, Kyle took Theresa for a drive and they began dating. Jacqui McQueen became suspicious when Kyle's tales of work didn't add up and caught him dealing drugs, but had no evidence. Calvin Valentine caught Kyle dealing but was beaten up by Kyle. He later accused Kyle of sending him death threats, and decided to purchase a gun from him for protection on Kyle's advice. However, Kyle attempted to reclaim the gun on the day Calvin was fatally shot dead by Theresa, as Calvin had impregnated her during a one-night affair. Theresa told Kyle that he was the baby's father before planting the gun on him. Kyle was arrested for murder and his claims to D.I. Andrews that Theresa was the true killer went unbelieved.
Shortly before his trial in January 2011, Kyle was attacked in prison to faciliate his escape, arranged by Theresa's friend Warren Fox. Warren's nemesis, Brendan Brady, encouraged Kyle to get revenge on Theresa, so he returned to Hollyoaks a few weeks later to kidnap Theresa and her baby, Kathleen-Angel. Warren and Ethan Scott managed to get into the abandoned building where Kyle was holding them captive and Warren shot Kyle, who fell down a lift shaft whilst holding Kathleen-Angel. During the rescue attempt, the lift collapsed with Theresa and a lifeless Kyle inside.
In March 2020, Warren filmed a video confession to Kyle's murder to give to his ex-fiancée Sienna Blake. Sienna ended up deleting the video.
