“I sort of went and had Christmas and I knew about this in advance so I went away and started researching to see what it would be like for an Intel in prison.
“Over Christmas I sort of changed the way I looked a bit just to have a degree of seperation between myself and Eric and when I came back we decided it was probably a good look to have this overgrown look.”
Hollyoaks spoilers have revealed that Eric will bribe James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) in order to be freed from prison.

Eric promises James fast cash to help his sister Juliet Nightingale (Niamh Blackshaw) with her cancer treatment.
However, he throws a roadblock by revealing that the lawyer needs to break into his caravan currently seized by police to get the money he needs.
Speaking about Eric’s upcoming dodgy deal with James, Angus said: “Eric can offer James money but in order to do so James will have to do something which puts himself in Eric’s pocket, which I don’t think is a very comfortable place to be.

“Eric’s not a leader of a large gang and he doesn’t access to the the online void he would normally manipulate but in the same sense James does feel a sense of danger for sure.
“Those people looking out for a bit of danger will see some spice that pops up over the next few months.”
Hollyoaks airs weeknights on Channel 4 at 6.30pm followed by first-look episodes on E4 at 7pm
