Actor Tisha Merry will be filming alongside Jamie Lomas for a brand-new episode of Hollyoaks Later, and will then join Hollyoaks as a series regular…
A one-off episode of Hollyoaks Later is set to air as part of the Channel 4 soap’s 30th birthday celebrations this Autumn, in which Tisha will be making her Hollyoaks debut as new character, Gemma.
Details surrounding Gemma’s connection to existing residents are yet to be released, but Tisha’s character will be linked to Hollyoaks bad boy, Warren Fox, as Jamie Lomas will also be returning for the post-watershed episode.
Tisha Merry is best known for her role as Steph Britton in Coronation Street. She has also appeared in Doctors, Odd Squad and Princess Mirror-Belle.
Talking about her new Hollyoaks role, Tisha said “I’m absolutely over the moon to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks. It’s a fabulous opportunity and an incredible time to join as they celebrate their 30th birthday week.
“Gemma is flirty, feisty, and the kind of woman you’d want as your best friend… but never your enemy. She’s bold, unpredictable, and trust me when I say, she’ll be entering with a bang. I can’t wait for you all to meet her.”
