Bart McQueen is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Jonny Clarke. He first appeared onscreen at his stepmother's funeral in August 2010, introduced by producer Paul Marquess as a member of the McQueen family.[1] During his time on the show, Bart had been involved in: relationships with Jason Costello (Victoria Atkin)[2] and Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis),[3] being stabbed during the third series of Hollyoaks Later,[4] his involvement in Esther Bloom's (Jazmine Franks) bullying storyline, causing the bus crash featuring in the notable Enjoy the Ride storyline,[5] and falling off the rails with a growing cannabis habit.

Clarke and Andrew Still (who plays Joel Dexter) left their roles in December 2012, but their departures remained unannounced until the episode aired. 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.
