'Hollyoaks': Sophie Austin on tragic Lindsey, Joe story

Quote:

Hollyoaks' Lindsey Butterfield and Joe Roscoe are left devastated next week as they lose their unborn baby.

The tragic development comes after Lindsey is knocked over by Frankie Osborne (Helen Pearson) in a car accident.

Digital Spy recently caught up with Sophie Austin, who plays Lindsey, for her thoughts on the tough storyline.

How did you feel about taking on this baby loss storyline?
"I've been really chuffed with all of the storylines that I've been given, as well as future material that we're filming at the moment. I couldn't have asked for a better start in the show.

"This storyline in particular was quite scary at first, because I really wanted to make it believable and as good as it could be. It's a very emotional story which is great as an actress, but you also need to make sure that you're respecting people who've been through it in real life. I've had a few people close to me who have been through this kind of experience, so I've been able to gently ask them for help.

"It's also a great opportunity for myself and Ayden [Callaghan, who plays Joe] on screen, as it's our first big thing as a couple. It's been a really good chance to show the relationship more and develop it. It's taken a lot out of both of us as we had a week of filming some very heavy stuff, but it's a great challenge."

When did you find out this was coming up?
"We had a proper meeting where it was all explained to us. It's great that our producer Bryan Kirkwood had the confidence in me to portray this story."

How does Lindsey cope with the situation?
"It's a hard one, because with the job that she does, Lindsey is quite good at putting her war paint on and getting on with things. At first there's fleeting moments where she has a breakdown, but then she tries to act as though everything is fine.

"With the way Lindsey's relationship with Joe develops and the stories which develop on from this, there'll be some great scenes where both characters break down so badly. Those were so brilliant to film, especially as Lindsey starts to feel as though she can let her guard down more with Joe. The story doesn't just finish with the loss of the baby and the shock of it, it actually leads on to a lot of things for both characters."

What was it like to film the accident itself?
"It was brilliant. I was able to do my own stunt, so I was quite chuffed with that because it's quite unusual. We had an amazing director who was really gentle and considerate to us as actors. Even though we were doing quite a dramatic scene, I had the likes of Helen Pearson and Jimmy McKenna making me laugh, so it was great."

How does Lindsey feel about Frankie's involvement? Is she looking to blame somebody?
"I think Lindsey is definitely looking to blame somebody. It's the first time something like this has happened to her, so she's extremely angry at Frankie, and that comes out quite a bit. She's not best pleased with her, put it that way!"

The viewers will know that Ziggy forgot to service the car that Frankie is driving. Does he admit to that?
"No, Ziggy doesn't admit to it, but it's really awful for him. All of those Roscoe boys have really good hearts, regardless of how they act out. Ziggy sees Lindsey as like a sister, so he feels tremendous guilt. It's quite sad, because it wasn't intentional at all, and Ziggy could never have imagined that it would lead to this. But Lindsey doesn't find out about that. Maybe she will later on, who knows?"

There's also a whole other drama going on as Joe could be Jack's son. How does Lindsey feel about that?
"Lindsey is quite shielded from that situation, because she is dealing with the loss of the baby. She's involved at first, as she hears Ruby telling Ziggy that it's a possibility. Lindsey wants to go straight to Joe to tell him this because she doesn't want to lie to him, but that's when she gets hit by the car. Lindsey's involvement then gets sidelined. It's quite sad, because she can't be there for Joe as much as she'd like to be."

We'll see that Freddie wishes he could be the one to support Lindsey. Does she have any idea how he feels?
"I think she's totally in the dark. I absolutely love Freddie and Lindsey's relationship. Charlie who plays Freddie is absolutely brilliant at every single look he does in those scenes. But I think Lindsey just sees Freddie as her best friend. She confides in him a lot about what's happened with the baby, but she'd be quite devastated if she knew how he really feels, because she'd feel like she was losing him as a brother.

"Freddie is quite good at hiding his feelings, I think. If he ever had a long, suspicious look, Lindsey would probably think he'd just done something wrong and was trying to hide it!"

Would you say the fans have a preference between Lindsey/Joe and Lindsey/Freddie?
"There are two quite big teams! There's 'Team Freddie' and 'Team Joe', but they all seem to be quite close friends within themselves. I think people expect Lindsey and Freddie to get together eventually, but they can also see that Joe is a really sweet guy. The groups are quite even and there's a real mixture.

"Even my family get really involved in it. My older sister wants me to get with Freddie, while my younger sister wants me to stay with Joe! They're both good-looking, so I'm not complaining!"

Now that you're settled in on Hollyoaks, what kind of a reaction have you had from the fans?
"It's been a really positive reaction. I've been overwhelmed, really, as I've only seen lovely comments and feedback for the whole Roscoe clan. I couldn't have asked for a better response."

We've heard that October will be a huge month for Hollyoaks with the 18th birthday coming up. Will Lindsey and the Roscoes be involved?
"Yes, I think the whole cast are going to be involved. It's going to be a phenomenal time for Hollyoaks. Everyone is putting so much hard work in and I don't want to give anything away, because I want people to see the work for themselves. It's going to be brilliant, though. I'm so proud of the cast and crew.

"I've never worked anywhere that works so hard as Hollyoaks. It's a really big team effort and I can't wait for everyone to see what we've been doing. I haven't even told my mum what's happening as my family all want to be surprised, but there's going to be some really great moments - very memorable stuff!"

'Hollyoaks' James Atherton: 'Anna murder scenes are heartbreaking'

Quote:

Hollyoaks star James Atherton has said that the scenes where his character Will Savage murders his mum are heartbreaking.

As Anna (Saskia Wickham) continues her threats to expose his true nature, Will drowns her by holding her underwater in the bath next week.

Atherton said to Inside Soap: "Will carries out the most horrendous crime that anyone could ever commit.

"It's really heartbreaking because he doesn't want to kill Anna. After he has done it, he ends up crying like a little boy."

Speaking about the shocking scenes, Atherton said: "It's really creepy - Will goes about the murder in a very gentle way. He's calm, methodical and really quite calm when he is doing it.

"What is so disturbing is that Anna has an acceptance of her death, because she blames herself for how Will has turned out."

Afterwards, Will makes an escape, leaving Patrick Blake to find Anna dead when he pays a visit to the ward.

Atherton said: "The idea was that Anna's death would look like suicide. But after Ash wakes up, she puts the notion in his head that Patrick could have killed Anna.

"So Will then plants his dead mum's locket in Patrick's house."

'Hollyoaks' Helen Pearson: 'Frankie is horrified after cheating'

Quote:

Hollyoaks star Helen Pearson has admitted that her character Frankie Osborne will be "horrified" after she cheats on husband Jack.

As seen in pictures released earlier this week, Frankie will soon have a passionate encounter with Ziggy Roscoe amid a troubled time for her marriage.

Frankie allows herself to be wooed by Ziggy even after he admits that he forgot to service her car at the garage, causing a tragic road accident.

Pearson told Inside Soap: "She's totally knocked over by Ziggy's charm. At first, she's furious when he tells her he didn't fix her car, because Frankie has taken the blame for running over Lindsey, who later lost her baby.

"But then Ziggy tells her how beautiful she looks, and they end up kissing."

On what Frankie will do next, the actress continued: "She'll feel absolutely horrified. And Ziggy is also Ruby's boyfriend, so it's a double betrayal. But once something like this has happened, it's very easy for it to happen again."

In real life, Pearson has recently tied the knot with her partner Paul Faulkner.

She laughed: "I said to my new husband Paul, 'I'm really sorry but I'm going to have to kiss this boy!' He was very cool about it, though."

'Hollyoaks' to film in Northern Ireland next week

Quote:

Hollyoaks cast and crew members will travel to Northern Ireland next week to film a special storyline on-location.

Five characters on the Channel 4 soap will be involved in a plotline which is being shot in Derry.

Phoebe McQueen (Mandip Gill) and Vincent Elegba (John Omole) will be at the centre of the story as they visit the city to get married, needing a quick way to keep Vincent in the country. However, whether the risky plan will succeed remains to be seen.

A show spokesperson confirmed: "Hollyoaks is known for its exciting storylines that often take viewers outside of the village.

"We are looking forward to shooting in Derry."

Derry is the UK City of Culture this year, and a number of its prominent landmarks are expected to feature on screen in Hollyoaks.

Shona McCarthy, chief executive of Culture Company 2013, told UTV: "The city is looking so fantastic at the minute - I'm sure it's going to shine like a real star of the show when the storyline airs on Channel 4 later this autumn."

Filming is expected to take place over the course of five days.
