I think so, their dad is Northern Irish and their mom is from the Republic of Ireland. The character of Brendan is Irish because Emmett Scanlan is of course Irish and it saves him having to put on an accent.

'Hollyoaks' teases Tony return, Brendan and Silas, Carmel stripping, more

Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard has claimed that a "mid-life crisis" is to blame for the unexpected antics of his character Tony Hutchinson in forthcoming episodes.

Next week, viewers will see Tony come home to the village following his time away travelling, but he returns a changed man as he is now living a new-age lifestyle.

Although Tony is pleased to have reinvented himself, his ex-wife Mandy isn't impressed by his new casual dress sense and laid-back attitude - threatening the chances of a reunion for the pair.

Pickard told TV Times of the storyline: "Tony's having a midlife crisis. He doesn't realise that, past 30, you look a bit stupid dressing the way he does."

However, the actor added that he believes Tony and Mandy can get back on track in the coming weeks.

"Underneath it all, Tony is still the same person and he loves Mandy," he said. "If they hadn't lost a child, they might have stayed together the first time round. They were really happy before that happened."

Sarah Jayne Dunn, who plays Mandy, made a surprise return to the soap late last year.

Judging by that teaser i take it Tilly isn't returning after all

There's only Maddie and Johnno in that clip but I read that 5 new people were turning up, so there might be a chance she is one of them?

Hollyoaks got 1.15 million viewers yesterday:).

i'm actually really looking forward to Tony returning :love:

I would like Rae, Liberty AND the annoying Leanne to all be Silased in a rampaging massacre, lol. Then I would like Brendan or Warren to kill Silas.

:worship: exactly that, though i think Leanne still has potential

Guys i think we need to thank Gareth Phillips for his amazing turnaround of HO and the ratings are starting to reflect this

WE LOVE YOU GP

I love cindy!!!!

E4 is EXCELLENT so far great interacting scenes with



good to have Tony back

A week left till HO Later:):D.

Theresa is pretty fit tho hope she does not go :bawling:

She has been ruined with being with Liberty, and I swear her and Libertys A-Level plot doesn't really make sense as she's not been shown at the school for like 9 months lol I always assumed she just worked at relish full time

It could be a false spoiler they've planted like the Amy clip when Steph died.

Liberty should die. She's so UGH:rolleyes:.

I know, the producers can't make their minds up about what the students do.

Where's Conor? He's been quiet:(. Hope he got to watch BB!

I've been away a bit as well lol what happened in Fridays ep? Has Lynsey gone for a bit now?

I'm here yeaah!

i was busy all weekend parties and shiz but i managed to keep up with BB online :)

Hello:), sounds fun and i'm glad you managed to see BB.

Read a couple of the posts up i've put in spoiler tags and post your thoughts.

I'm off now, so night:D.

omgz


better not die i would be really pissed if she did, shes too much of a big character

Should be quite good this week. They've got all the best people in it. Lynsey, Brenden, Mandy, Tony, Cindy

yeah! I wonder how long Lynsey is going to leave for :conf:

I'm not sure but she definetly returns. I think Silas killing her would be too obvious now.

yeah when she leaves now, i'd say he will move on to someone else :devil:

Any spoilers from the HO later?

Not heard any apart from the McQueen's going to Ibiza a few months ago.

There was a rumour involving Seth so i'm waiting to see if it's true when the spoilers come out..

Gareth Phillips will be doing an interview with DS before HO Later to promote it and share some of his plans at last for the show:).

Last years Hollyoaks Later was disappointing, the main storyline I wasn't keen on but I did like Nancy and Mitzeee bonding.

i didn't even watch all of HO Later last year :joker:

Same, watched like 2 eps and couldn't be bothered after that

The 5 episodes are still on YouTube. Surprised C4 didn't block them:joker:.

I think I'd only just started watching HO again then and didn't really know any of the Costellos or anything. But yeah wasn't as gritty as the other ones, especially Niall's one, that was great

- Silas torments his next victim.
oooh, wonder who it is? Lynsey is only away a short time I have heard and Brendan starts to suspect Silas.

He better not touch my Lynsey :nono:

I think it might be and there will be come big reveal and everyone will realise she was right all along.

And oh god I hope Ethan isn't in the later one player the kid detective :bored:

I think Brendan will end up protecting her. Lynsey would be a shock death as she is popular with viewers now but I think HO want to keep her.

Ethan is such a useless detective, even Logan would have done a better job:laugh:.

Ethan and Liberty need axing!

Definitely, they're both pretty pointless and none of their storylines really make sense. And it was a bit weird the dad popping up out of nowhere after weeks and weeks off screen :joker:

The cast is too big and the filming schedules are that tight that they have to compromise with how the cast are used.

Dirk appearing from nowhere was just funny, definitely:D.
