New McQueen cast in 'Hollyoaks'

The McQueen family is to increase by one again later this month as young, naive tearaway cousin Theresa joins the clan.

Theresa, played by 20-year-old TV newcomer Jorgie Porter, is a 'teen temptress' and 'Lolita type' who has a distinct lack of self-awareness. Her vulnerability is her status within her family and she is alert to the fact that she has a long way to go before she becomes a real member of the McQueens.

Her love of men catapults her straight into McQueen mayhem when she unwittingly becomes involved in Tony (Nick Pickard) and Jacqui's (Claire Cooper) already-ailing relationship.

With the tension between Jacqui and Tony beginning to ease slightly, Jacqui seizes the opportunity to speak with him about the tanning salon lease. Tony, however, finds himself distracted by an attractive blonde girl at The Loft's school disco-themed night and fails to show for his meeting with Jacqui.

Believing he has nothing more to lose, Tony takes her back to his flat but is soon overcome with regret the following morning when he realises that Theresa is only 15 and still a schoolgirl.

When Theresa turns to her family with the tall tale of an older man taking advantage of her, Jacqui is beyond speechless when Theresa takes her around to the man's flat and it turns out to be Tony's.

Speaking of her new role, Porter said: "I'm thrilled to be joining not just Hollyoaks but one of soap's most notorious families. Although she's feisty with outsiders, Theresa's ranking within the family is low so she's eager to impress."

She added: "I can’t wait to see how Theresa earns her stripes as part of the McQueen clan!"

Her first scenes are due to air on Tuesday, November 25.
