Lime Pictures has revealed the fourth member of its newest Hollyoaks family, the Keanes.
Singer Sam Meyer has recently featured on the Netflix show, Simon Cowell The Next Act, and was the final contestant before the formation of the brand.
“I am absolutely buzzing to say that I am joining the cast of Hollyoaks. He’s a cool kid with a lot of golden retriever-like energy, he loves his fashion and he’s quite smart for his age. Look out for this new kid in the village!” he said of the role.
“I am happy that I am joining the cast as part of a brand-new family as well and I can’t wait to see what trouble we all get into together…”
Earlier Lime announced that Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden, and Coronation Street’s Rebecca Ryan and Lewis Walton, would also be part of the Keane family, which is set to move into the Chester village this Spring.
They have a “hidden connection to a beloved Hollyoaks family…”
Matthew Wolfenden, best known for playing David Metcalfe in Emmerdale said:
“I’m so excited to finally share that I’m joining Hollyoaks as part of a brand-new family arriving in the village. It’s an absolute privilege to step into this world and be part of something so iconic. From the moment I read the scripts, I knew this was going to be something special. I can’t wait for the audience to meet them and see how they turn a few heads along the way… it’s going to be a ride, buckle up.”
Rebecca Ryan played Lydia Chambers in Coronation Street and Debbie Gallagher in Channel 4’s Shameless added:
“I am so excited to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks. My character is feisty and a bit of a firecracker but fiercely loyal. I am so excited for everyone to meet her. I am having the best time so far and can’t wait for her story to unfold.”
Follow Corrie actor, Lewis Walton, who was young Mick said:
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Hollyoaks cast. My character is charismatic, sporty and someone who’s always been the fun, positive presence in the room. He’s incredibly close to his family and determined to follow in his dad’s footsteps, while chasing big ambitions of his own, especially when it comes to sport. But life doesn’t always go to plan, and an unexpected challenge will force him to dig deeper than ever before…”
