The 45-year-old actress - who plays Martine Deveraux - on the Channel 4 soap - has opened up on how her on-screen family will be affected after Celeste Faroe (Andrea Ali) begged the doctor to come to the village to help her brother Toby (Bobby Gordon).
Martine avoided being her son Toby's next victim, Kelle told Digital Spy: "Fortunately, I always knew Martine wasn't going to die in these episodes, because I know what's coming up for Martine and the Deverauxs later in the year and it's quite significant.
"It's quite heavy. There's quite a lot of twists and turns that happen and I'm prepping for a lot of that now, because it will require a lot of me."
And she has revealed how "brilliant" the upcoming storyline will be, and how fans will take to the developing plot.
She added: "I think for the viewers, Dr. Ley's arrival is going to be brilliant. They're going to really unpack what happened to Toby and you're going to see the person who put him through that.
"You'll see who Dr. Ley is too. You'll find out some interesting things about her. She's not so clean!
"Obviously Martine isn't aware of any of that going on around her, but when she finds out, I think it'll be like an old-fashioned John Wayne movie with a stand-off!"
Kelle also opened up on her character's lucky escape, and how her alter ego sees the situation.
She said: "It's so funny because I've had people saying: 'Are you leaving Hollyoaks? Toby's about to kill you, did you not know?' It makes me laugh!
"From Martine's perspective, she doesn't realise how close she came to being killed. She doesn't know about Lisa's death. All she knows about Toby's temper is the time that he attacked Felix."
