Hollyoaks fans will be introduced to a new member of the famous McQueen family in upcoming scenes and she’s armed with a huge secret.
Aspiring beautician Cher, played by newcomer Bethanie Hare, will unexpectedly turn up to Sylver (David Tag) and Mercedes’ (Jennifer Metcalfe) wedding vow renewal in the coming weeks and dramatically announces she is groom’s long-lost daughter.
The Hollyoaks hunk is left working out how this can be possible, seeing as he spend most of his adult life behind bars falsely accused of killing his stepdad.
James Sutton, who plays John Paul McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, has let slip that his long-lost relative is set to shake up the show’s most famous family.
The soap star told RadioTimes.com: “She’s fitted in really well. Cher is from a similar background to the rest of the clan, she’s gobby, confident, outgoing, and even dresses like a McQueen.

“I would say there is a bit of a young Mercedes about her, which is nice.”
Seeing as Cher is technically Mercy’s stepdaughter, expect sparks to fly and a showdown between the feisty pair.
James, who has been a McQueen one and off since they were in introduced in 2006, is full of praise for his newest co-star.
“Bethanie is such a sweetheart and a great addition to the cast,” he added.

“I think this is her first big high-profile acting job, she has a lovely energy about her and is eager and enthusiastic.
“She was filming for about a month or so and was having a ball before lockdown and we had to suspend filming.
“I’m sure she can’t wait to get back to work too, like the rest of us.”
Hollyoaks bombshell Cher is described as the life and soul of the party and is determined to get to know her dad.

Speaking about her character, Bethanie said: “She definitely has an attitude and is so big on family.
“She’ll always be there for someone. I’m so excited to be joining the McQueens, everyone has been so nice and put me at ease.”
The question on everyone’s lips remains how Sylver fathered a child from a prison cell, which he was for most of his teens until his adult life.
Was Cher fathered before her father was banged up?
When she arrives in the village she knows all about her fathers murder conviction, but what makes her turn up in Chester?
Hollyoaks continues on Channel 4 tonight at 6.30pm followed by a first look episode on E4 at 7pm
