Dylan Royle (né Jenkins), played by James Fletcher, made his first screen appearance on 6 January 2015.[1][2] The concept for the character was announced on 24 September 2014[3] whilst additional details about the character was announced on 15 November 2014,[4] and the casting was announced on 10 December 2014.[1] Dylan is Trevor Royle's (Greg Wood) son and has been billed as "a good kid who wants to find his place in the world, but if you cross him he'll make you pay for it."[1] It has also been said that he will be harbouring some secrets.[1]

In an interview with Digital Spy, Fletcher discussed Dylan's cross dressing storyline, stating how "a lack of a mother figure in his life at the moment" is behind his decision to crossdress. Of Trevor's reaction to Dylan's cross dressing fun, Fletcher said Trevor "blows up at him" and "Dylan is distraught over Trevor's reaction.[5] Fletcher hopes that story will have a positive impact and that viewers "will just be less judgemental about what people are wearing." He went to mention that Dylan has "nobody to talk to about" his cross dressing. Fletcher also confirmed that is has been "great fun" to make the transformation to Dylan and his look.[5] On 19 May, it was announced that Dylan's mother, Valerie Jenkins, would be arriving in the village on 1 June,[6] played by Tanya Robb. It was revealed that Val would arrive after receiving news Dylan had been in a road accident and that Dylan would be happy to see his mother after several months in the village without her. Val would also be seen offering support to her Trevor, to the dismay of Grace who becomes jealous over her presence. It was also announced that Dylan would keep his cross dressing secret from his mother.[7]

In May 2015, it was announced that Fletcher had chosen to leave his role as Dylan at the end of his contract. Dylan's final scenes were commented to be "a while off", with show bosses promising more drama in the build-up to his exit. Fletcher chose not to comment on his exit, but a Hollyoaks spokesperson said: "Dylan was a popular new addition with the show's young fans, so he definitely won't be leaving quietly. There's a busy few months ahead for him - building up to a memorable exit."[8] Dylan was killed by the Gloved Hand Killer on 26 August 2015, but appeared throughout September as hallucinations that Kim saw following her guilt.

Dylan arrived in the village believing Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore) to be his father, until Trevor reveals the truth. Dylan swiftly joined Hollyoaks High School, making friends with Peri Lomax, Tom Cunningham and Nico Blake (Ruby O'Donnell, Ellis Hollins and Persephone Swales-Dawson). Dylan develops a strong bond with Nico, later entering a relationship with her. Dylan, Nico and Tom are stunned to discover Peri is pregnant and support her, but to cover this, Nico says she is pregnant. Nico's grandfather Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) threatened Dylan after discovering Nico's "pregnancy".[9] Dylan later began dressing up in female clothing, first as a fun afternoon with Peri, Tom and Nico where they dress up in wedding attire. However, when Trevor discovers this through a video Peri has uploaded to the internet, he is furious. His experiences later becomes more serious as begins trying Trevor's fiancée, Grace Black's (Tamara Wall) makeup, dresses and jewellery. Dylan is later targeted by bullies, Aiden and Kyle Bigsby (Joseph Cocklin and Mitchell Hunt) for his appearance and personality. Dylan and Nico plot revenge, but it backfires on them when the brothers catch them red-handed. Dylan comforts himself by trying Grace's clothes.

Dylan later goes on a date with Nico, whilst wearing Sienna's silk top. Nico tries to undo Dylan's top, but he panics and runs. He is hit by a car driven by Zack Loveday (Duayne Boachie) and admitted to hospital. Whilst in hospital, nurse Kim Butterfield (Daisy Wood-Davis), who is stalking Grace, discovers his secret and blackmails him, threatening to tell Trevor if he doesn't put her camera back into the flat. Dylan does so, keeping his secret safe. Dylan is later accused of drugging Nico and planning a sexual assault and despite Nico's pleas to police officer Ben Bradley (Ben Richards), he is nearly charged.[10] In July, Dylan's cross dressing secret is discovered by Trevor and Grace and reacting badly, Trevor locks his son in the flat causing an emotional Dylan to tear off his clothes. When Dylan frees himself, he confides in Nico and they take revenge on Trevor by tampering with his car. However, they are shocked to discover that a heavily pregnant Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) and her friend, Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) have used the car for a trip to a spa. Dylan and Nico also vandalise The Loft ahead of its grand reopening. Trevor later punches Dylan when they have an argument.[11]

Following this, Dylan decided to change his unique look for the sake of his father. Dylan chose to stop cross dressing and opt for more conventional image. Dylan then tries to be the model son for Trevor, by assisting at The Loft, even trying to get his hands dirty. He impresses Trevor by booking a party at The Loft for Cleo McQueen (Nadine Rose Mulkerrin).[12] Dylan's bad behaviour continues when he supplies Tom with drugs, which cause him to cause mischief at Peri's baby scan. Tom's guardian Frankie Osborne (Helen Pearson) discovers where Tom got his drugs and uses this to her advantage in the court case for her Esther's surrogate child and Grace & Trevor's biological child, Curtis Royle. This annoys Trevor, which makes Dylan feel ashamed.[13] When he sees that Trevor has employed Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) to sell drugs for him, Dylan becomes jealous that Trevor has not entrusted him to do so. In August, Dylan begins to receive mysterious messages from an unknown person, who is entitled 'GothBoy98'. Having had an argument with Nico, Dylan turns to 'GothBoy98' for support, but becomes spooked when they reveal that they like to wear female clothing. Dylan was then left upset after overhearing Grace tell Trevor to choose between Dylan and Curtis. He does not, however, hear Trevor saying that if Dylan goes, so does he and Dylan swiftly informs Trevor he would be staying with Nico for the night. 'GothBoy98' then tells Dylan to get revenge on his father, leaving Dylan with ideas in his mind.

Ben Bradley, who is currently trying to find evidence to send Trevor down after falsely believing that he killed his daughter, arrives at the flat for a drug search, following a tip off from Robbie. Dylan then lets slip that he was responsible for the drugs, safely avoiding any trouble for Trevor. Following this, Dylan has a public argument with Nico. Fortunately, Maxine Minniver and Scott Drinkwell (Nikki Sanderson and Ross Adams) break up the argument. After taking more advice from 'GothBoy98', Dylan frames Trevor before realising his mistake. He plants drugs in The Loft, before calling the police. However, when he realises his mistake, the police have arrived. He swiftly sneaks the drugs from his hiding location, as Trevor offers Dylan papers to change his name to Dylan Royle, before reminding him he loves him. As Dylan prepares for his court appearance, Trevor goes after Kim and Esther in a car chase for baby Curtis. When Trevor does not show, Dylan ditches his suit Trevor bought and wears a black dress, whilst restyling his hair and applying makeup. He is escorted to court by Peri, Tom and Nico and they say their goodbyes before entering court. He is sentenced to six months imprisonment. Meanwhile, Trevor and Grace managed to successfully regain Curtis and when Esther and Kim go into their car, a police van hits into their car, causing both vehicles to overturn. Unbeknown to anyone, Dylan is in back of the police van. Trevor tries to get out Esther from car and when he sees Dylan exiting the van, rushing to him. Dylan appears fine and assists his dad. Esther, Grace, Kim, Trevor and Dylan get away from the car before it explodes. At the hospital, it is Kim and Esther that are given main priority due to other travellers appearing alright.

Dylan is shocked when Kim reveals that she was 'GothBoy98' and whilst processing the revelation, an unidentified person appears in the room, and injects Dylan with a large dose of potassium chloride through his IV drip. Dylan immediately goes into cardiac arrest and despite attempts to resuscitate him, he dies whilst Trevor watches on, distraught and devastated. After Dylan's death Trevor struggles to cope but when Dylan's girlfriend Nico talks to Trevor he reveals that he was proud and that Dylan impressed him he also finally excepts that Dylan liked to dress in women's clothes and decides to allow Dylan to be buried in one of his favourite dresses. Nico uses Dylan's phone to stalk Dylan's stalker, unaware it is Kim. Kim starts to experience a guilty conscience over Dylan's death for stalking him, and then starts to hallucinate and starts to see visions of Dylan. Meanwhile, Nico comes to the conclusion that Dylan's stalker was bully Kyle and punches him. Kim later reveals the truth to Nico, who tries to get Trevor to hurt her. Trevor breaks up with Grace as he thinks if she did not chase after Esther and Kim, he would still be alive. On 22 October 2015, it was later revealed to be Lindsey Butterfield to have killed Dylan. After Dylan's death Trevor is shown to carry a picture of him alongside a picture of Curtis in his wallet. In June 2016, Nico went to his graveyard and told him that she murder Carly, her grandfather Patrick, and his father Trevor, and ask him to forgive her for what she has done.

Fletcher spoke to Digital Spy about his exit, stating that he felt his exit storyline was "amazing" and how he "loved that we got to film on location in Sefton Park in Liverpool". When questioned on his reason behind leaving, Fletcher said: "It was one of those things where I went into it and thought, 'I know I don't want to do more than a year'. That was because I'm essentially fresh out of drama school and I didn't train for 4 years to then just do one job."[14] He revealed that he was contracted until late October, but when producers developed this storyline, they went with an early departure. Discussing Kim's visions of Dylan, Fletcher said how they were "great fun": "That was great fun because I got to be scary - it's the closest I've ever got to filming anything with a horror genre. When I saw how they actually make that work when it comes to filming it, you soon find out that it's not scary at all! But hopefully the thing that ends up on telly will be a bit of a surprise for everyone."[14] Fletcher also stated how it looks that Kim killed Dylan, but he would "love to know who's killed [him]". He also mentioned how pleased he was with the reaction to Dylan's cross dressing storyline and how it was "fun" to play "such a varied character". Fletcher concluded with the hope that Hollyoaks introduces more "alternative" teenagers to the show in the future.[14]

Occupation Barmaid

Reenie Marguerita Eugenia Charitina McQueen played by Zöe Lucker, made her first on-screen appearance on 16 April 2015.[23] The character and casting was announced on 6 February 2015. Reenie is the daughter of Nana McQueen (Diane Langton), and the mother of Porsche (Twinnie Lee Moore), Celine (Sarah George) and Cleo McQueen (Nadine Rose Mulkerrin). Reenie has been billed as "good-time party girl without an "off" switch and can be exhausting company although deep down she is the most vulnerable of Nana's children" and hasn't set the best example to her children and has let them down in the past. Reenie's introductory storyline saw her be visited by Porsche in prison.[24]

Reenie first appears when Porsche visits her in prison, after receiving a visiting order from her. Porsche is very hostile towards Reenie, as she refused to believe her when Porsche told her about her ex-boyfriend, Pete Buchanan's (Kai Owen), sexual abuse of her. Reenie asks Porsche for £5,000 so she can rebuild her life when she gets out of prison, but Porsche only manages to raise £2,000. Reenie accepts it reluctantly and asks Porsche about Celine and Cleo before she storms out. Reenie is later seen moving into a cell with Grace Black (Tamara Wall), and makes life very difficult for Grace as she is in prison for the suspected murder of her niece, Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe). She teases Grace when Kim Butterfield (Daisy Wood-Davis) is moved to the prison and notices the pair's closeness. After confronting Kim, she spikes Reenie's drink with laxatives, which she has a bad reaction to, and ends up in hospital. She calls Porsche and she visits Reenie, and asks her for the remaining amount of money that she owes her. Porsche says she will give Reenie the money when she swears she will stay away from the McQueen family. Reenie continues to pressure Porsche into raising the outstanding money, which eventually leads to Porsche being arrested. Later that day, Reenie phones the McQueen household from prison and talks to Cleo. She asks Cleo whether she would like to move in with her and Pete when she is released, leaving Porsche in despair.

Porsche and Celine are desperate for Cleo to stay in the village, so Porsche visits Grace and pleads with her to set Reenie up. After talking to her boyfriend Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool), Cleo decides she is going to stay in the village, however, she wants Reenie to move in with them. Porsche then reveals to Celine that she has asked Grace to set Reenie up, which she is not happy about. Grace plants drugs in Reenie's make-up bag and she is told she will not be allowed an early release. Porsche reveals this to Celine and Cleo, which Cleo is upset about. At the end of May 2015, Porsche and Celine are stunned when Reenie arrives at the McQueen household, which delights Cleo. Nana and Cleo want Reenie to stay, however, Porsche and Celine try and persuade her to leave the village. She ignores her daughters, and invites her family to a meal at The Dog in the Pond public house, where Reenie states that Porsche is a "tease", referring to Porsche's accusations against Pete. She shouts at Reenie aggressively, before being told to leave by Nana and Cleo. When Porsche is attacked by Trevor Royle (Greg Wood), Reenie intervenes and gives him money to leave her alone. Porsche then tells her mother that she wants to help her rebuild her life, however, she later breaks into Price Slice dressed as Reenie and steals bottles of wine. She is arrested, but Cleo provides her with an alibi. When Pete arrives in the village, Porsche moves out of the family home because they all believe Reenie and Pete over her.

Unknown to everybody, but Pete has also begun sexually abusing Cleo, too. Reenie is upset when Porsche shouts at her over family member Phoebe's (Mandip Gill) death, and exclaims that she wishes that she was dead instead of Phoebe. Reenie is later furious when she walks in on Pete and Porsche arguing, and Pete lies saying that Porsche tried to kiss him again, and Reenie again believes Pete over her daughter. Porsche makes numerous scenes at Phoebe's funeral over Pete's abuse of her, but this eventually leads to Nana exiling Porsche from the family, as Pete paid for Phoebe's funeral. Later that day, Cleo refuses to be intimate with Pete anymore, which leads to Pete ending his relationship with Reenie and him leaving the village. She gets drunk, and staggers into Cleo's classroom, angrily demanding money for some alcohol. The next day, Cleo locks Reenie in her bedroom, and she vows never to drink again. However, later that day, Cleo sees an empty bottle of wine on Reenie's bed, and her mother is nowhere to be seen. It later transpires that Reenie is in a drunken state and constantly leaving Pete messages on his phone to come home. When she later sees a van resembling Pete's, Reenie stumbles into the middle of the road, only to be hit by a car. She is rushed to hospital and later recovers. In order to pay for Cleo's party celebrating her exam results, Reenie begins flirting with Dr. Charles S'avage (Andrew Greenough) and goes out with him on several occasions. However, Dr. S'avage's overbearing friend, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), is aware of Reenie's scheming, and after exchanging insults during an argument over Dr. S'avage, Sienna pushes Reenie down the city stairs. After recovering in hospital, Reenie gets drunk and slaps Sienna for trying to kill her, and after attacking her, Reenie is arrested and kept in police custody for ABH. Upon her release, Pete proposes to Reenie, and she accepts; unaware that his real intention is to stay close to Cleo.

In September 2015, Reenie is shaken by the appearance of Nana's ex-boyfriend, Derek Clough (Bruce Montague), who used to physically abuse Nana when they were younger. Reenie continuously causes arguments between her, Nana and Derek, which worsen when they announce they are engaged after Derek reveals he is dying. Reenie goes out on a pub crawl in an attempt to get over her pain, but when she returns, she attempts to smother Derek with a pillow, but is caught by Nana. The following night, as Nana and Derek celebrate their engagement, Reenie reveals that Derek repeatedly raped her when she was a teenager. She continues to reveal that she fell pregnant by Derek, resulting in the birth of Porsche, however everybody assumed that Porsche's father was a boy named Mickey. She swears Nana to secrecy, and when they return downstairs, they watch as Derek collapses and dies of a heart attack. Reenie grabs the telephone to call for an ambulance, but Nana stops her and holds her hand as they watch Derek die.

Reenie later helps Mercedes at the funeral of her son Gabriel, who was stillborn. After the funeral, Cleo threatens to tell Reenie about her relationship with Pete, however Pete nastily lies that Reenie is dying from breast cancer. Cleo later realises that Pete has been lying, and threatens to tell Reenie again, however Pete viciously tells her that the entire family will not believe Cleo. On the day of Pete and Reenie's wedding day, after witnessing Pete and Cleo talking in the alleyway, Harry guesses that they are in a relationship, and storms into the ceremony, exposing Pete as a paedophile to the entire family. Reenie initially refuses to believe Harry, Porsche or Cleo, but when her sister Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane) reveals she has noticed Cleo acting strangely for the past few days, and after Porsche shows her messages Pete has been sending to local schoolgirl Jade Albright (Kassius Nelson), Reenie finally sees Pete as a paedophile and throws him out. The day after the wedding, Reenie and Porsche give statements to the police about Pete, however Cleo refuses to. Reenie gets drunk and reveals to Myra that Derek did to her what Pete has done to Porsche and Cleo. She is then upset when Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) blames her for Pete's messages to Jade. Later that day, Pete is run over by an unknown assailant in one of Darren's taxis. The police arrest Darren for the hit-and-run, however when Reenie visits Pete in hospital, it transpires that she tried to kill him, and Pete then threatens to call the police on her if she does not drop the charges of sexual abuse against him. After Celine threatens him, Pete informs the police that Reenie was behind the hit-and-run, and she is subsequently arrested. She confesses to the crime and is released on bail, however Cleo and Porsche are both furious with Reenie over her actions.

The next day, Harry informs Reenie and Celine that Cleo has been visiting Pete in hospital, and tells them that she possesses a mysterious key of Pete's. They track Cleo down to a lock-up that Pete had bought so he could keep all of the love letters, photographs and memories that he shared with Porsche, Cleo and Jade, however in order to protect Pete, Cleo sets fire to the lock-up, destroying all evidence. After realising that Pete also has feelings for Jade as well as herself, Cleo confesses to the McQueens that she began a sexual relationship with Pete when she was 13 years of age, and makes a statement to the police, and Pete is therefore arrested. Reenie is later shaken when she and Porsche receive letters from Derek's solicitors revealing that he has left them both something in his will. Myra convinces Reenie to dispose of the letters and forget about Derek, however Porsche finds the letters and is confused as to why Derek has left her something in his will. After being encouraged by Lockie Campbell (Nick Rhys) to see what Derek has left her, Porsche is ecstatic to learn he has left her £10,000. When Porsche tells Reenie of her inheritance, she is clearly upset and Porsche asks her why she hated Derek so much. Reenie then reveals to Porsche that Derek inappropriately touched her and raped her as a teenager, and after Porsche apologises for taking Derek's money, Reenie finally reveals the truth to Porsche that Derek was her father, leaving Porsche devastated. The following day, Porsche confronts Reenie in Price Slice, and vents her anger out on her, realising the reason why Reenie was so cold with her as a child was because of Derek. Upset at her remarks, Reenie angrily slaps Porsche, however this results in a physical fight in the shop. Tegan Lomax (Jessica Ellis) calls a police officer over to intervene in the catfight, but Reenie accidentally slaps him as he breaks it up. Reenie then flees the shop, and confides in Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) that she is going straight back to prison because of the assault. Desperate for the pair to talk again, Myra locks Porsche and Reenie in her bedroom, where Reenie explains to Porsche that she hated the thought of having Derek's child, however when she kicked for the first time, she fell in love with her and fought to keep her when Nana tried to give her up for adoption. Porsche then forgives Reenie for everything that has happened with Pete and Derek and attempts to persuade Reenie to go with her as she plans to leave the village. However, as she is about to leave with Porsche, Cleo emphasises how much she needs her mother during Pete's trial, so when the police arrive to arrest her, Reenie does not resist as she states that being a jailbird mother is better than not being a mother at all.

Cleo visits Reenie in prison after she was remanded in custody. Reenie discusses with Cleo about Pete changing his statement about her attempted murder charge. Reenie starts getting suspicious and asks Cleo if she's been seeing Pete. Cleo lies by saying she hasn't seen him, and Reenie says that she knows what Pete is capable of.

Reenie returns from prison in June 2016, the week before Pete's trial. She is thrilled to see Celine and Mercedes, however is upset when Cleo distances herself from her. She is stunned when Mercedes reveals that Myra has fallen down the stairs and is pregnant, and is refusing to have an operation to prevent paralysis due to the risks it has to the baby. Reenie visits Myra, and after discussing the matter with her, Myra decides to go through with the surgery. Reenie is devastated when Cleo orders her to stay away from court and that she wishes she wasn't her mother, and she contemplates drinking a bottle of wine outside The Dog after several months of being sober. However, Cleo's best friend, Holly Cunningham (Amanda Clapham), convinces Reenie not to drink the alcohol and support Cleo, regardless of her orders. She is later furious when it transpires that Cleo has been covering for Holly over the car accident that killed Rachel Hardy (Jennifer Brooke), making Cleo seem like an unreliable witness. When Reenie gives evidence against Pete during the trial, she breaks down in the dock as she confesses that she missed the signs that Cleo was being sexually abused by Pete because she was drunk most of the time. As she leaves the dock, she attacks Pete with a glass, threatening to kill him for what he has done to her daughters, before being escorted out by security. Reenie is remanded in custody and sent back to prison for attacking Pete, but is relieved to hear that Pete has been found guilty of sexual activity with a child and child grooming. Cleo visits her the following day, and Reenie apologises for being a rubbish mother while Cleo apologises for all the horrible things she has said to her in the past. Reenie emphasises how proud she is to call herself Cleo's mother, and makes Cleo promise to start a fresh in her life now that Pete has gone. She is then escorted back to her cell, but as Cleo waves her goodbye, Reenie breaks down in tears.

The concept for the character was announced on 15 June 2015,[36] whilst the casting was announced on 22 June 2015.[37] On 26 October 2016, it was announced Deen had finished filming with the show after more than a year in the role of Sonia. Her character departed the village on 27 October, as she moves to Belgium with her estranged father.[38]

Lisa was introduced as the daughter Louis (Karl Collins) and Simone Loveday (Jacqueline Boatswain) and the sister of Zack Loveday (Duayne Boachie). It is revealed that Lisa was abducted after a day at school and that the press believed that Louis murdered her and disposed of her body. The Lovedays moved to Hollyoaks for a fresh start from their heartache and grief over the incident, but after Louis and Simone are accused of abducting Rose Lomax, Lisa and her abduction became common knowledge throughout the village. Lisa made her first appearance after breaking into the family home, with Zack managing to stop her running out the house, the intruder reveals herself as Lisa after the family question her, and out of happiness she hugs Louis. However, upon discovering that Lisa no longer has a birthmark she had as a child, Simone questions whether Lisa is who she claims to be. The family argue and Lisa runs away again. Louis blames Simone for driving Lisa away and reveals that he always blamed her for letting Lisa vanish in the first place. However, Wayne subsequently arrives at the Lovedays' home and claims Lisa has been attending a drop-in centre where he works. He leads the Lovedays to her, and she eventually agrees to return home. Louis pays Wayne a £6000 reward, but Zack later witnesses Lisa kissing Wayne and talking about their plan to scam the Lovedays out of the money. Wayne wants Lisa to leave with him, however she chooses to stay with the Lovedays. When Lisa subsequently doesn't show up for a planned spa trip with Simone, Zack insists Lisa make amends or he will tell their parents the truth about the money.

It is later revealed that Lisa is actually an impostor, named Sonia Albright, who had heard about Lisa's life and decided that she wanted it. It has been revealed that Sonia has genuinely bonded with the Lovedays and wishes to stay with them.[39] In flashback, it is reavealed that Sonia had met the real Lisa, who gave Sonia a locket and told her about her life; the real Lisa was told that her parents and brother had died, and a woman named Margaret took her in. Using details about Lisa's early childhood with the Lovedays, Sonia is able to successfully pose as her; although Zack became suspicious after finding a diary in which Sonia had taken notes from Lisa. When Jade arrived in the village, Sonia tried to pay her to leave but has since reached an agreement that Jade will keep up the ruse and pretend to be a friend from "Lisa's" past. When Zack began dating Theresa McQueen, Sonia realised that she herself is attracted to him. Although she has encouraged his relationship with Theresa in order to make him happy, Sonia has been questioning whether or not she should reveal her real identity and admit her feelings to Zack.

Sonia reveals to Zack that Theresa has only been dating him so that she can have sex. Zack then tells Theresa he doesn't want their relationship to be about sex, which is agrees to hesitantly. However, Theresa breaks up with him shortly afterwards after telling him she doesn't love him. A while after they break up, Zack crashes his new car that he receives for Christmas, angering his parents. Sonia and Zack plan to take the car to the mechanic shop the Roscoes own. After they take it to the mechanic shop, Sonia kisses Zack passionately, which disturbs him. She then reveals that her real name is Sonia and Lisa Loveday. This angers Zack and forces her to tell his parents. Before she can, Simone and Louis announce that Simone has suffered a miscarriage and they want to focus on their surviving children. Sonia and Zack go on to have a relationship in secret, but Sonia is later confronted by Joanne Cardsley who knows Sonia's real identity. She promises to keep Sonia's secret in exchange for Sonia's help in a prosecution case against Wayne.

When Louis and Simone go on a weekend away to reconnect, Zack and Sonia get passionate while they're away. However, Louis and Simone return after they forget a couple of belongings. When they go back inside their house, they see Zack and Sonia kissing on the sofa. Angry, Simone viciously slaps Zack around the face and calls them disgusting animals. When Zack says that she isn't his real sister, Simone doesn't believe him. But when Sonia says he's telling the truth, Simone and Louis are distraught. They shout at Sonia and Zack for lying to them. While shouting, Sonia leaves the house and goes to Jade's. When she's at Jade's, Zack knocks the door and asks if he can come in. However, Simone and Louis are with him as well and they start bombarding her with questions. When Sonia says she can't remember all the details, they think she is lying to them and they believe she knows more than she's telling. When Sonia tells them that she lied about the real Lisa being dead, Zack breaks up with her and bans her from going anywhere near him or his parents again. Just before they leave, Sonia said that Joanne knew the person who 'kidnapped' Lisa, so the Lovedays make their way over to Joanne's office. Louis, Simone and DS Thorpe (James Bradshaw) question Joanne about Margaret, the person who abducted Lisa. Joanne lies to them about Margaret by saying she doesn't know who she is and she doesn't have a picture of her with Margaret. Joanne later threatens Sonia to have her arrested for fraud. Later on, Sonia is arrested by DS Thorpe on suspicion of fraud by deception and is taken into police custody for questioning. Sonia is cautioned after Louis persuaded Joanne to ask the police to be lenient. This angers Simone, who nearly ends her marriage with Louis. Sonia, Zack and Joanne go to Margaret then she is arrested because Joanne called the police. Then later, at the police station, the real Lisa Loveday arrives.

Sonia decides to live with her father, her half-siblings and stepmother in Belgium, following Jade's death and funeral. In November, when Simone was arrested, Zack and Lisa asked her for money, for which she's accepted. Louis and Simone later contact her and thank her for bailed her out of jail.

Ashley first appears in The Loft, and after hearing that Trevor has killed Carly, she tells him that her debts are now his, as Carly stole an expensive diamond ring from Ashley before she died. However, unbeknownst to everyone, Nico Blake (Persephone Swales-Dawson) is the real murderer. She then bumps into Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter), and it is revealed that they shared a cell when Theresa was in prison for murdering Calvin Valentine (Ricky Whittle). She confides in Ashley that Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) is constructing a special needs unit at Hollyoaks High School, but he and Theresa have scammed the money.

Ashley plans to kill Holly and make her death look like an overdose, however Robbie enters the basement where they are keeping Holly hostage and contacts his brother Jason (Alfie Browne-Sykes), who is a police officer. Ashley is determined to go through with killing Holly as her reputation will be damaged otherwise, however Trevor releases Holly, angering Ashley.

The following month, Trevor gives Ashley photographs of Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) wearing the ring that Carly stole from her, resulting in her suspicions that Sienna was involved in Carly's death.

Jade is later panic-stricken when Sonia's fake brother, Zack Loveday (Duayne Boachie) learns of her true identity after she tries to kiss him. When Sonia and Zack are arguing, Jade collapses, struggling to breathe, so Sonia takes her to hospital. There, Dr. Berrington (Tupele Dorgu), informs Jade that she may have a form of cancer. Jade is devastated, but is supported by Sonia, Zack and the Osbornes. She grows close to Alfie Nightingale, who confides in her about his own battle with cancer.

Peri and Nico decide to give Jade a makeover for a dinner with Alfie, however, he is shocked with Jade's sense of dressing, leaving her heartbroken.

During an assembly in school, Jade confronts Peri, making her aware that she knows what she and Nico have been doing to her and reveals her plan of embarrassing Peri to the school. When Jade goes into the assembly, Nico pulls the wig off, leaving Jade to go into the assembly bald-headed and laughed at.

Jade later finds another lump on her leg, and she is distraught to be told that her cancer has returned so quickly. She decides to find her biological father, believing that it is not fair for the Osbornes to go through the grief of losing her if she does die. However, after seeing that her father now has another child and is married, Jade tearfully asks Jack whether she can return to the Osbornes'. Alfie and Jade eventually throw a party, however Jade has picked up an infection and collapses while making a heartfelt speech for Alfie. At hospital, Dr. Berrington informs Jade, Alfie, Sonia and the Osbornes that her immune system is weakening and her organs are beginning to shut down. Alfie and Jade then imagine a perfect day out together in Southport. In the fantasy, Jade informs Alfie that she has to leave him, but when Alfie asks why, he has discovered that Jade has tragically died in his arms, leaving him devastated. Jade reappears as Alfie imagines her after he suffers an emotional breakdown. Jade tells Alfie that she will always stay with him. Alfie keeps on imagining Jade is in his room, and so locks himself in his room to be with her. After snapping at his family, Jade tells Alfie that he does not need her anymore and that he needs his family, before disappearing.

A reporter writing for the Inside Soap Yearbook described Jade's death as "tragic".[56] They also included Jade's return as a "vision" in their "A to Z" list of 2016, adding that "imaginary dead pals were all the rage in 2016!"[57]
