## About

The character of Bart was created in 2010 as an extended part of the very famous McQueen family, whom since their introduction four years prior in 2006, have become a very popular set of characters in Hollyoaks and now soap at the time.

Bart was described as a bit of a rebel as the character was discribed as due to bring in "more fun" for the character's around him.

Jonny Clarke remained in the role of Bart for over two years until the character departed in January 2013, however Jonny would reprise his role of Bart in 2017 at the cost of the character's life as Bart was killed off during this stint.

## Legacy

When Bart first arrived it was instantly seen he would be creating a lot of drama especially for his family, The McQueen's. Being taking in by his aunt, Myra, Bart began to attend the local school and would meet, Jasmine Costello, Bart was seen to have a connection with Jasmine and began a relationship however Bart was unaware that Jasmine was infact a bot trapped in a girls body. Bart clashed with many students most notably that of Jasmine's brother, Seth. He also gets on the wrong side of Tony Hutchinson, Gilly Roach and of course, Carl Costello.

During his first year on the show Bart's storylines included his rebal ways and having relationships with Jasmine (Jason) and Sinead O'Connor. Bart was stabbed by a daranged character called Fern. Eventually Bart would befriend, Joel Dexter and the two would grow a cannabis farm together.

In November 2012, Bart entered into a car race with, Maddie Morrison along with passenger, Esther Bloom, the mini bus Maddie was driving loses control and crashing into a double wedding venue, the resulting crash resulted in a number of deaths, making Bart riddled with guilt. By January 2013, Bart agreed with Joel to steal £250,000 pounds from local gangster, Brendan Brady but are caught, Bart is told to leave Hollyoaks or Brendan will kill him, he then flees with Joel.

Viewers however would see Bart return just four years later in 2017, fans would also learn that Bart is now a drug addict and was present when Katy Fox died of an overdose which Joel supplied her. Bart would face the fury of Katy's older brother, Warren Fox who was told wrongly by Joel that Bart caused Katy's death. Warren sets out to kill Bart and succeeds when he drags Bart behind closed doors and presumably beats Bart to a pulp which kills him.

Some Hollyoaks fans call out the fact the current McQueen's don't seem all too bothered that Warren murdered Bart, especially that Bart's cousin, Mercedes McQueen has entered into a couple of relationships with Warren since Bart's murder.
