'Hollyoaks' Jennifer Metcalfe: 'Signing new contract an easy decision'

Quote:

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has revealed that staying on the soap for another year was an easy decision to make.

It was recently reported that Metcalfe has signed a new contract which will guarantee she stays on the show for at least another year.

http://i2.cdnds.net/12/08/618x754/so...es_mcqueen.jpg

Metcalfe said to Inside Soap: "I've signed a contract to take me up to September next year.

"After seven years, it's easy to just see this as a job, but all the new people who've come in have injected a new enthusiasm - there's a real freshness.

"It's great when your work doesn't feel like work!"

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/23/618x437/so...aks-3628-2.jpg

Metcalfe also admitted that she had reservations when she found out Mercedes was getting married again.

She said: "When I first heard Mercedes was getting married again, I thought, 'Really, again?' But this wedding is like none of the others she's had - it stands on its own.

"The writers have gone for it, and it's very apt for Mercedes and Browning's relationship - just mental!"

Good:). Mercedes is awesome and Jen is one of the high profile actors on the show, it must be so fun to work at Hollyoaks!

'Hollyoaks Later' returning for sixth series with former stars

Quote:

Hollyoaks bosses have announced that late-night spinoff show Hollyoaks Later is returning for a sixth series.

Former cast members James Redmond (Rory 'Finn' Finnigan), Jeremy Edwards (Kurt Benson) and John Pickard (Dom Reilly) will all feature in the new run of after-dark specials.

This year's series has been tipped to take viewers "on an epic ride of Hangover-style proportions" as Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) reunites with his old friends and his brother.

As he continues to battle cancer, Tony will team up with the gang alongside a host of unexpected and unhinged characters throughout Spanish and Moroccan locations.

Fans can also expect Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) and Tilly Evans (Lucy Dixon) to take centre stage in a "chilling" storyline as they celebrate an 18th birthday in a spooky location.

Elsewhere, Theresa (Jorgie Porter) will join up with a new recruit of the McQueen clan on a wild road trip.

Hollyoaks Later is currently in pre-production and is due to transmit in the autumn. As usual, five hour-long episodes will air on consecutive nights across one week in a post-watershed timeslot.

Jane Steventon, who took charge of last year's successful series, will once again be the show's producer. The series will be executive produced by Hollyoaks boss Bryan Kirkwood.

Kirkwood commented: "We are very happy to announce the commissioning of series six of Hollyoaks Later. It is a returning series that gives an annual late night treat to loyal Hollyoaks fans."

Lee Mason, Channel 4's editor for drama commissioning, added: "We're thrilled to be bringing back Hollyoaks Later for a sixth series and with it some of our best loved Hollyoaks faces.

"Tony's cancer battle is an important story for us to tell and we're so excited to be able to explore it further within the high octane, highly emotional and sometimes shocking world of Hollyoaks Later."

I cannot wait for Hollyoaks Later now and with some old faces returning:):amazed:.

Hmm, should be interesting but I wanted a 'dark' theme with maybe an attack or a murder :(

'Hollyoaks' Sarah Jayne Dunn: 'Mandy may be returning'

Quote:

Former Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn has revealed that she might be returning to the soap.

The actress, who has played Mandy Richardson on and off since 1996, hinted at the news while being interviewed on Channel 5's The Wright Stuff today (June 12).

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/24/618x413/so...yne-dunn-2.jpg

Reflecting on her Hollyoaks career, Dunn commented: "I was only 14 when I started and I started for two episodes. I finished my two episodes and got everyone's autograph, got a photo with everyone and said, 'Right, thank you, bye!'

"Everyone was saying to me, 'You're going to be back, you're the sister of one of the main characters!' I was like, 'No, no, I've finished'. I think I'm still the longest-serving female character!"

She added: "Possibly in the next few months I might be making a little sneaky return. Gemma Bissix has [also] returned and it's very exciting, actually."

Dunn's last appearance on Hollyoaks was in September 2011. Speaking at the time, she stated that it was time to "move on" but refused to rule out a future return.

I hope so. Her last return was a flop, but with Bryan Kirkwood back it would work better because he knows the character of Mandy inside out.

I'm finding it hard to give a damn about the Tony and Diane setup. Both great characters and actors but they've literally thrown them together and burdened them with this twins and cancer stuff. Too much too soon.

And what's with Sinead, her mum abandoned her? Wasn't it the other way around? Fed up of her self pitying crying.

Ste and Trevor tomorrow! :dance:

Browning's obsession with Lindsey and yay a Lynsey flashback:o.

I felt sorry for Diane in this episode:(.

Yep, Browning thought he had time to commit rape in a lift and didn't realise it would reach the bottom in a matter of seconds.

Different producers at the time, who were too obsessed with the teens rather than have a balance with the older and young characters which Bryan Kirkwood is thankfully giving us!

Some Stendan fans are really annoying me moaning about everything in Hollyoaks. Why do they even watch the show still?

I liked Brendan and of course him, Cheryl, Jacqui and Mitzeee are missed but the show has moved on so why don't they still get that Emmett chose to leave?

Even now these people want the show just to be revolved around Ste because they hate everyone else:bored:.

'Hollyoaks': Nicole Barber-Lane teases Myra's shock discoveries

Quote:

http://i2.cdnds.net/13/22/618x685/so...ra-mcqueen.jpg

Hollyoaks matriarch Myra McQueen is horrified next week as she finally discovers the terrible truth about Lynsey Nolan's murder.

Myra learns of Doctor Browning's guilt when she eavesdrops on a conversation he's having with Mercedes on the day of their wedding.

Deeply disturbed to realise that her daughter is about to marry a killer, Myra's whole world is turned upside down - but can she ever convince Mercedes to dump the twisted doc once and for all?

Digital Spy recently caught up with Nicole Barber-Lane, who plays Myra, to hear about the big episodes on the way for her character.

We've seen a lot more of Myra recently! Are you enjoying being so busy on screen?
"Yes, it's absolutely fantastic. I'm loving it and I've been filming some brilliant stuff. I'm very grateful for that, to be honest."

Do you think it's been a good move to bring the older characters into the thick of things a bit more?
"I definitely do, and it's great for all of us to be included. We're still exploring stories from the teenagers' point of view, but we're also getting the whole picture now. I think it's a good way to show the younger viewers where their parents are coming from!"

Myra makes a few big discoveries in the next few episodes, and the first is when she finds out that Bart isn't Katy's father. How does she react?
"That really upsets Myra. She's been feeling a bit funny about this situation anyway, as she hasn't really been over to see the O'Connors and the new baby. She really didn't think she'd be welcome after Bart did a bunk! But then Myra bumps into Sinead and is quite pleased to find that she's actually okay with her.

"Myra is really excited about getting to know the baby a bit better after that, because it's all about family with the McQueens. Then all of a sudden, she overhears Sinead and Diane talking about how the baby isn't Bart's at all. Myra is really shocked, especially as she's been thinking about and worrying about this baby for months now. I think it's going to hit Myra quite hard."

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/24/618x412/so...een-family.jpg

What is Myra's current opinion of Doctor Browning?
"Oh, she loves him - he couldn't be a better son-in-law! Myra has been so excited about the wedding, and she thinks it's so fantastic that he's got loads of money. It's just all coming right for her, or so she thinks!"

But then Myra starts to smell a rat over Browning and the new character Lindsey Butterfield...
"Yes, it's one of those cases where Myra overhears something suspicious between those two and decides to investigate further. She then finds a CCTV photograph of Browning which seems to show him making a pass at Lindsey. Myra keeps it under her hat for a bit, but then she goes to confront him.

"What you've got to remember is that Myra wants her daughters to be happy. She does want Browning to be faithful, but she really wants this wedding to go ahead too! When she does confront him, Browning and Jim manage to convince her that Lindsey came on to him and not the other way around. Browning does a good job of painting himself as the innocent party!

"Myra believes it because she wants to, so she gives him the benefit of the doubt. She does give him a hard time at first because she's not a walkover, but ultimately she lets it go."

How does Myra end up trapped in a wardrobe on the morning of the wedding?
"She's trying to recover the engagement ring, because Mercedes has thrown it in a fit of rage after Joe Roscoe has told her what Browning has done. Myra knows that it's a rock worth a load of money and thinks Mercedes is crazy, so she goes rooting round trying to find it again.

"While she's in there, Mercedes and Browning come charging up the stairs having a big argument. Myra decides to listen in and see what's going on. Instead of getting involved, she decides to have a quick listen because she's a nosy parker!"

How does Myra feel when she overhears them talking about how Browning really did kill Lynsey?
"Well, the problem is that he's not a McQueen yet! We do have a killer in the family already - little Theresa! But Theresa is cute, she's a McQueen and Myra thinks that she's already paid for her crimes.

"Myra's opinion of Browning is completely different - she now thinks that he's a threat and a danger to her daughter. She just can't believe it, because she's trusted this man with her life. Myra put him on a pedestal, so when she finds out that he's taken a life, it really shakes her belief in her own judgement."

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/23/618x395/so...aks-3628-4.jpg

What happens next?
"Myra tries to get out of the cupboard to say her piece, but she's trapped inside! Browning then drags Mercedes off to get married, but Myra isn't sure whether it will actually go ahead. Mercedes is protesting so much that it doesn't look like it will be happening. Myra definitely doesn't want Mercedes to marry him now, as she knows that he's done something much more serious than cheating on her!"

How does Myra react when she sees Mercedes next?
"We can't give away whether the wedding has gone ahead, but there are some great scenes between Myra and Mercedes. Myra tells her that she just can't be with this man, so they're having a full-on row about it! I'm really looking forward to seeing these scenes. Sometimes when you're doing a scene you just get a little bit lost in it all, and that's what happened here. The emotions were all over the place!"

Can you understand why Myra covers up for her family so much?
"With Myra, it's always a loyalty thing - it's complete and utter loyalty. No matter what they do, she can talk her way into believing that they did it for the right reasons. Myra is always able to give them an excuse. Even when Niall took them captive and tied them up with the church explosion, she would have still forgiven him and blamed herself!

"There's always a way for Myra to see that things are okay and that she can help her brood in her own way. To be fair, I don't think there are any evil McQueens. The closest we've got is Kathy, Theresa's mum!"

Browning later gets a scarf and a threatening note over Lynsey's murder. Could Myra be the mystery sender?
"She could be - who knows? I couldn't possibly tell you who sent those to Browning!"

'Hollyoaks': Nicole Barber-Lane on awards, Roscoe newcomers and more

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/23/618x537/so...ra-mcqueen.jpg

Hollyoaks favourite Nicole Barber-Lane recently caught up with Digital Spy to reveal Myra McQueen's take on next week's Mercedes and Browning wedding dramas.

If you haven't read the main chat yet, take a look here for all the gossip on how Myra reacts to the truth about Lynsey's murder!

Below, Soap Scoop presents the second part of our interview, which contains some bonus snippets from Nicole…

How do you feel about Hollyoaks doing so well at the Soap Awards last month?
"Excited! That was one of the best years for me, for many reasons. To win five awards was brilliant, as it was just one away from the show's previous record of six from a few years back.

"I was nominated for 'Best Comedy Performance' and it was the first time that I'd been up for anything at all. It was just an absolute honour, and I can't tell you how much that meant to me. I did stand up when Patti Clare was announced as the winner, but that was on purpose! I'd decided that I was going to stand up whether I won or not, because I knew it could be my only chance! (Laughs.)

"I loved seeing Claire Cooper getting her award. I was sitting just behind her and when they were about to announce the winner, I was just thinking, 'Please, please give it to her!' When they said Claire's name, me and Jorgie [Porter] just burst into tears!

"The 'Spectacular Scene' deserved to win too, and so did Emmett, Kieron and Danny for their awards. I was also really pleased for Joseph Thompson as I've worked a lot with him. I can't tell you how great he is to work with, and he's such a nice person. He's really down-to-earth and a really good guy."

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/20/618x808/so...eremony-11.jpg

Do you ever hear from your on-screen son Barry Sloane now that he's a big star in Revenge?
"Believe it or not, yes! We do tweet and direct message each other occasionally. Barry is another really nice lad and I need to get hold of him because we all need to go out for a drink."

What do you make of his post-Hollyoaks success?
"I'm really, really chuffed for Barry that he's done so well. I'm also really proud. You sort of know beforehand when people are going to do well, and there's a few other people I expect to see great things from.

"Some people get the breaks and some don't, but Barry has done so well and I'm so pleased for him. It's weird, because even though the show is so big and it's in America, it doesn't feel like that because it's just 'Barry who we've been working with'. You can still have a laugh with him and he's just a normal, good guy."

How do you feel about your husband Liam Fox becoming a soap star in his own right as Dan Spencer in Emmerdale?
"It's great! I'm really, really pleased for many different reasons. I think Liam really deserves it and it's great to see him doing so well. But he only got the job because of me! (Laughs.) That's a joke, but you can put it in and it'll cause a row between us later!"

With so many Hollyoaks newcomers this year, have you made friends with any of them in particular?
"Well, Gillian [Taylforth] shares a dressing room with me and some of the others, and she's lovely. Sophie [Austin] who plays Lindsey is also really, really lovely and very funny. She's a really nice girl. All of the lads are really good too. Fab [Santino] who plays Ziggy makes me laugh in particular!

"If I'm honest, I really feel that Hollyoaks is going from strength to strength. I think the Roscoes are going to be a massive part of that and I really can see them being the lynchpin of the new style of Hollyoaks. They've brought in the older mum and there's a few other older characters around now too. I think the show is going to be just so strong, and I'm really looking forward to it."
