Former 'Emmerdale' star Dominic Power has joined 'Hollyoaks'.
Dominic Power as Hollyoaks' Dave
The 48-year-old actor, who played killer Cameron Murray in the ITV soap from 2011 to 2013 - will appear as new character Dave in the Channel 4 show from December 1st on E4.
He said: "It’s an honour to be part of such an iconic British soap. Can’t wait for the 'Hollyoaks' fans to meet Dave!"
Dave’s arrival in the village proves to be a baptism of fire as he butts heads with Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) over the sale of a dolls house and later, the McQueen residence.
'Hollyoaks' have also cast Ky Discala and Matthew James-Bailey as Darren Osborne's (Ashley Taylor Dawson) kidnappers, criminal Maya and her boyfriend and sidekick Ethan.
Matthew said: “My time on the soap thus far has been incredible. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and to be welcomed in to the 'Hollyoaks' family the way I have been.
“Working with a fan favourite, Ashley Taylor Dawson, has been incredibly fun. I think we’ve been able to make some amazing content for the fans.
“I won’t give too much away, but Ethan is here to shake things up and bring a new, albeit ‘manic’, energy to the village - unfortunately so for Darren, and he won’t be the last to have the displeasure of meeting Ethan ... I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on. Ethan’s definitely coming in with a bang.”
Ky added: "I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining 'Hollyoaks' as Maya! She is your classic ‘Femme Fatale’.
"It’s been great to play the new female villain, but, boy, she’s ruthless ... unfortunately for Darren he was her next victim which not only sees him but the whole village on their toes."
