With Lynsey going to Belfast does that mean shes leaving?

I could just see it, Cheryl coming back and saying "Oh Lynsey decided to stay at home"

She's definetly sticking around, just glad the producers are using Lynsey more as she was underused before and Karen Hassan is showing that she can act so should get more storylines in future..

Spoiler:

Liberty's family are joining the show, so it looks like they have no intention of axing her.

Hollyoaks bosses have confirmed the full details of the soap's new Savage clan, who will cause chaos in the village when they arrive on screen next month.

As reported earlier today, viewers will soon be introduced to Liberty Savage's (Abi Phillips) family for the first time since her debut on the soap late last year.

James Atherton (pictured) has taken on the role of geeky Will Savage, his first major TV role since studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).

Atherton commented: "It all happened really quickly and I'd started filming before I had time to think. Everyone's just been so friendly and made it really easy to settle in. Will is awkward, shy and a hopeless romantic that hopefully the viewers will fall in love with."

Meanwhile, following a stint in the West End musical Wicked, Danny Mac has also joined the cast as Liberty and Will's brother Mark 'Dodger' Savage. The Del Boy-style character quickly causes a stir in the village with his wily ways and soon has the local ladies eating from the palm of his hand.

Speaking of his casting, Mac explained: "I am over the moon, the last few weeks have been crazy and Dodger's kept me on my toes every second. It's exciting never knowing what he's going to get up to next, and believe me the limits are endless. I can't wait for people to meet him!

"The cast are such a close family and have been very welcoming to us lads. I am proud to be a Savage and live in anticipation every moment to see what the next move is for the family!"

Finally, actor David Kennedy is to appear as the siblings' father Dirk Savage, who shares many traits with Dodger and tries to charm show regular Myra McQueen following his arrival on screen. Kennedy has previously appeared in EastEnders and Holby City, as well as portraying Billy 'Two Hats' in ITV's William and Mary.

A Hollyoaks statement teased: "The new family will take the village by storm and are set to rub all the McQueens up the wrong way. The Savage family get evicted from their home when Dirk can't keep up with the payments. Liberty is furious to come home and find her house all boarded up but big brother Dodger has a new house for them to live in!

"While the McQueens are away on holiday, Dodger moves his family into the empty house and declares squatters' rights! How will the McQueens react to their new housemates?"

New spoilers.

[bbfan1991]

Oh well i'm not giving up hope that Silas could kill Liberty despite the news of her family joining, at least if it happens it would be to get a reaction from them because only Theresa and Ethan are the ones who would only be affected by it in the village..

[Tom4784]

Jem still left regardless of the Costellos coming into it, I'm hoping the same happens to Liberty. I can just about stand Ethan but her...

Mandy is back in April, looks like theres lot of scenes between her and Cindy which is good.

Interesting spoiler regarding Jacqui during the trial..

Spoiler:

Wayne Connor, the photographer during HO Later series 2 who got Jacqui drunk and persuaded her to do some topless shots will be giving evidence at the trial.

Good thinking by the producers!

btw what happened to Jem? she was supposed to be coming back..

No she wasn't, apparently Helen Russell Clarke who joined her didn't want to really join the show but only did it to raise her profile.

The axing of Amy rumours were never confirmed by Hollyoaks and the new producer Gareth Phillips, who was a scriptwriter under Paul Marquess said that there were never any plans for her to leave, although again it was rumoured Ashley quit but was convinced to stick around.

Amys amazing why would anyone wanna axe her, though she did annoy me but i love her since like september 2010

Me too, i'm enjoying normal Amy. Liked seeing Brendan being beaten up and showing his vulnerability at last, we're back to seeing bad boy Ste again..

[Visage]

I enjoyed the Brendon & Warren fight, shame about that extra who sat right through the fight at MOOBs (MOBS) and she didn't spill her drink....

Also why did they have Jason pulling that stupid face every time the sheep made a noise.......? Tut tut

I've been disappointed by the Jason storyline, it had so much potential for more once the rest of the Costello's accepted the issue but it's all gone downhill since IMO.

Hollyoaks won one award at the All About Soap awards for the Ste/Brendan/Rae love triangle.

I agree totally. It was an amazing story to begin written and acted so well, full of many different avenues they could have taken, now it feels like they've simply finished and moved on too quickly.

That's brilliant.

['Conor]

fridays C4 was brilliant, highlight for me was the part when Amy was talking bout when Ste used to hit her, worst was just Ricky being in the episode.

[InOne]

Yeah Jason is doing no good. What is with all these silly pranks? He/she is 16 fgs, and there is no way she could flip her personailty that quick. I mean what 16 years old do you know that pull pranks like that

[Billy]

Words cannot describe how much I adore Amy Barnes <3

It was confirmed that Ashley Slanina Davies quit after Lucy Allen left, but was convinced to stay by Marquess after her popularity literally soared. It's weird, Amy has been hated up until 2010, and she's like one of the most popular characters now <3
