It’s set to be a huge Christmas in Hollyoaks as the stars have teased what is coming up for their characters.
Anna Passey, 39, has portrayed Sienna Blake since 2012 while Matthew Bailey made his first appearance as Ethan Williams in 2021. Their characters have been intertwined since Ethan’s arrival and the drama is about to ramp up as the festive period approaches Hollyoaks village.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star at the Inside Soap Awards, Anna said: “Christmas is a big one for us. I’m looking forward to Christmas now. We’re just reading the scripts and that’s probably when the audience are going to first start getting an inkling that things aren’t perhaps what they seem.”

“I am very very excited to see how that goes down”. The upcoming storyline is likely involved with Sienna’s ongoing involvement with Rafe Harcourt (Chris Gordon), her current on-off love interest. The actress admitted there will be plenty of “twists and turns” in the coming weeks, teasing the storyline is set to head in the opposite direction to what fans think.
“There’s a lot of twist and turns,” Anna declared. “When I first heard about this storyline, I was like, ‘Oh I get that storyline. I understand that storyline as a viewer and an actor’.

And then I heard the other side of the storyline and it’s actually something quite different to what we’ve seen so far. So the storyline almost pulls you into a false sense of security that you understand it, and then something happens and it’s not the storyline that you thought it was.”
The soap star admitted she even had goosebumps after learning what is coming up for Sienna, adding: “When I heard about this storyline, I listened for 45 minutes straight. I had goosebumps.
