We thought that Niall telling the McQueens that he was related to them, and then trying to blow them up in the middle of the church was bad. Or when Niall appeared in Scotland and tracked down Steph and then tried to kill her was pretty amazing. This time Hollyoaks have stepped it up a notch!

If you don’t want to know what happens, look away now! Soon we will be introduced to a new character called Chrissy, who tracks down her former childhood friend Loretta. It turns out that Chrissy – who uses her former name Joanna – and Loretta killed a child when they were 12. Now Chrissy is back, and she wants to mess with her old friend.


A source from the show said, “We appreciate the episodes deal with a sensitive subject, but it has all been thoroughly researched. The drama is about how Loretta reacts to Chrissy’s arrival back in her life.”

We’re glad Loretta is getting a meaty storyline! Although what will happen with Jake? This explains why she keeps telling him people need second chances. All of this drama airs around Christmas time. We can’t wait!!

On Thursday night, The Old Blue Last, Shoreditch, was infiltrated by the undead and transformed into The Severed Arms Pub by Left 4 Dead 2, for one weekend only.

Zombiefied Hollyoaks barmaid, Jennifer Metcalfe joined the congregated ‘Zombands’ including The Priscilla’s, Disco Bloodbath, The Vinyl Stitches and Ben UFO to celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated game.

At London’s hottest undead music venue guests also got the chance to hone their post apocalyptic survival skills, testing their ability to endure a L4D2 outbreak. Guests drank green slime cocktails and mingled with the infected until dawn.

For more information, go to www.l4d.com. The game will be available in the UK from the 20th November on PC and Xbox 360 console.

We’ve always loved this couple so were shocked to find out that they had split up. Carley Stenson struggled to trust Ricky Whittle after a news article emerged a few weeks back that he had cheated on her – although there was no confirmation of it.

We hope you two get back together… such a cute couple!

Hollyoaks are holding an online open audition to find the next female student.

Lime Pictures are looking for a girl, aged 18 – 30, to play the new role of India. They will be looking for someone who shows they have really understood the character and who is able to portray that in her video. She will need to be clear and easy to understand in her video audition whilst still appearing relaxed in front of the camera. Lime Pictures are not necessarily looking for the most experienced actor – they are looking for the person they think can best portray their new character on screen.

Campaigns like this are the one that found Roxanne McKee who had the long standing role of the tragic Louise Summers.

On the website there is a short script to download, learn the lines, record your video, submit it and you could be the new arrival in Hollyoaks!
