A member of the McQueen family, she's mum to twins Prince and Hunter - 15-years-old - who both will also be joining the family.
A spokesperson for the soap commented: "Tough, gobby and absolutely shameless, Goldie will never back down in a fight and she's always game for a good old-fashioned McQueen scam to make some fast cash.
"Goldie's come to Hollyoaks in the hope of mooching off the family she's scarcely had anything to do with. But one thing she cares more about than making easy money is her twins, Prince and Hunter, who she had in her teens. She'd go to the ends of the earth for her lads and will defend them like a lioness."
Healey says of joining the show: "I am absolutely thrilled to join Hollyoaks. I've grown up watching it so to be in it is unbelievable. It was an irresistible opportunity, especially to play this character.
"I can't believe I am playing a mum but the boys are so fantastic to work with and we are all delighted by our new family unit.
"Less delighted are the current McQueens who are most put out by our arrival! I'm most excited by her wardrobe, which is a bit like mine in my younger days!"
18-year-old Malique Thompson-Dwyer will be stepping into the role of 'confident' Prince, whilst 19-year-old Theo Graham takes on 'more sensitive' twin Hunter.
