Hollyoaks has announced the casting of Scottish actor Andrew Still.

In his first major TV role, Still will play "mysterious newcomer" Joel, who arrives in the village later this month, turning the life of an unsuspecting resident upside down forever.

Hired as Chez Chez's new dubstep DJ, Joel's arrival coincides with the disappearance of Brendan (Emmett Scanlan), following his release from prison.



The newcomer has also been tipped to catch the eye of sixth-former Maddie (Scarlett Bowman). However, with only one person on his mind, the student could struggle to win Joel's affections.

Still won the role after Lime Pictures sent a casting opportunity to the Scottish Youth Theatre, of which he was a member. Despite not having an agent, he went on to win the role after impressing the Hollyoaks' casting team.
