Nico Blake, (previously Sophie), played by Persephone Swales-Dawson, made her first appearance on 6 June 2014. The character and casting was announced on 20 May 2014. Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy reported that Nico arrives in Hollyoaks and meets Dodger Savage (Danny Mac). He takes pity on her and gives her food. A show spokesperson added "Is this girl just a passing tearaway teenager? Or could there perhaps be something more?"^[7][8] It was soon announced that Nico is the long-lost daughter of Sienna Blake (Anna Passey). But Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) intervenes to ruin Nico and Sienna's chances of becoming acquainted. His scams include paying Nico's adoptive mother Denise (Janet Bamford) to trick Sienna into believing someone else is her daughter.^[9] When Nico tells Sienna that she is her daughter she is dismissed as a liar. This prompts Nico to begin a revenge campaign.^[10]

Nico arrives in the village and steals food from Dodger. He tries to help her out and she steals a bracelet belonging to Sienna. Nico is injured when Jason Roscoe (Alfie Browne-Sykes) throws bricks through Dodger's window. She later causes a fight with Jason and later Holly Cunningham (Amanda Clapham). She befriends Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) to get closer to Sienna. She overhears Sienna telling Leela that she has found her daughter and praises her success. Nico is upset by this as she is actually Sienna's daughter. In reality Patrick has manipulated Sienna into believing her daughter is elsewhere. Nico tells Sienna the truth but she slaps her and calls her a liar. Feeling rejected Nico reignites an old feud between Sienna and Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox). Nico then attacks Nancy and plants Sienna's bracelet at the scene to frame her.

When Nico begins asking questions about her father's identity, Sienna becomes hostile towards her and asks her to stop asking questions. Nico then confides in her friend, Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell) about Sienna, and makes hurtful comments about her, just as Sienna enters the room. Sienna then decides to tell Nico about her father, and explains that he went into the army and when he returned, he wanted nothing more to do with Sienna or Nico. Nico and Peri then begin searching for her father, but Dodger realises that Sienna made his identity up after finding an author of the same name. In September, it is revealed that Nico is the result of incest, meaning that Dodger - Sienna's twin brother - is in fact Nico's father as well. In November 2014, Nico has an argument with Sienna and they fall out. Nico boards the party train which also contains the McQueen's. The train then crashes and Nico is fatally wounded. She is then admitted to hospital, and Dr. Charles S'avage tells Sienna and Dodger that Nico was born with one kidney and it is failing and will need a transplant, and Sienna and Dodger do not match Nico's kidney. Sienna is upset by this and turns for help. Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) then tells Dodger that she will be tested to help Nico.

Over Christmas, Sienna locks her and Dodger in a basement. But Nico manages to escape and is taken back to hospital. Several days later, Sienna comes to visit her at the hospital.

Kimberley "Kim" Butterfield is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Daisy Wood-Davis, made her first appearance on 7 October 2014. The character and casting was announced on 23 September 2014. Kim is Lindsey Butterfield's (Sophie Austin) younger sister. She has been billed as volatile and causes trouble for the Roscoe family. She is openly lesbian. Kim's introductory storyline saw her taken hostage by Big Bob (Vincent Ebrahim).^[15] She later develops a romantic interest in Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks). It later becomes apparent that Kim and Lindsey's fiancé Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callaghan) are hiding a secret from the rest of the Roscoe family.

Kim is first seen breaking into the Roscoe household, and is spotted by Lindsey. They catch up on events in their lives, where Kim reveals to a stunned Lindsey that she is now an open lesbian, having fancied Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs. Lindsey is frustrated when she realises that Kim is working as a nurse at the hospital where she also works, however Kim finds this coincidental. Kim, Lindsey and several other residents are held hostage in the hospital by Big Bob later that day. He threatens to shoot Kim numerous times when she attempts to help injured hostages, however Big Bob is later killed and the hostages manage to escape. Kim begins dating Esther, after discovering that she too is a lesbian, and is told by Grace Black (Tamara Wall) that Esther is being a surrogate mother for her and her partner, Trevor Royle (Greg Wood). Kim accepts this because she is in love with Esther, which irritates Grace. She continues a feud with Grace, as they both fight for spending time with Esther, and this culminates with Grace punching Kim in the face. Kim is later upset when it is revealed that Lindsey has been having an affair with Joe's younger brother, Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham). After discovering that Freddie is a suspect in Mercedes McQueen's (Jennifer Metcalfe) murder, Kim provides him with a false alibi for Lindsey's sake. When talking to Grace in The Loft office, Kim stumbles across a blood-stained knife, believed to be the knife that was used to stab Mercedes to death. She confides in Grace about her beliefs that Freddie murdered Mercedes, so Grace convinces her to retract her statement, which she does. This causes hostility between Kim and Lindsey, and when Kim tries to take Lindsey's baby, JJ, away from Freddie, Lindsey angrily pushes Kim away and tells her she is no longer part of her family. Mercedes is later shown to be alive and living in France as part of a plot to frame Freddie for her 'murder' as revenge for his murder of Grace's father, Fraser Black (Jesse Birdsall).

Eventually, Lindsey runs away from Hollyoaks with Freddie and JJ, and she calls Kim for help. After the phonecall, Joe confronts Kim and asks whether she knows where Lindsey is. Kim does not own the kind of money that Lindsey is asking for, so Esther kindly lends her the money. When she eventually meets with Lindsey, they bid an emotional farewell to one another, however, Joe arrives and takes JJ away from Lindsey. Freddie and Lindsey then run away, leaving JJ with Joe. Lindsey eventually returns and Kim is overjoyed when she reveals that she believes Freddie killed Mercedes, however Kim later discovers that this is a lie. In order to spend more time with Esther, Kim moves in with her, Grace, Trevor and Dylan Jenkins (James Fletcher). During an argument over Esther, Kim and Grace passionately kiss before Esther and Trevor walk in. This triggers Kim to develop an obsession with Grace, as she gives her a burning desire, unlike Esther. During Trevor's birthday party, Kim reveals to Joe's girlfriend Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) that she and Joe slept together on the night of his and Lindsey's engagement party, causing her to fall pregnant, and Joe forced her to have an abortion. However, when Nancy later confronts Joe, he reveals that Kim had an obsession with him and when he refused to sleep with her, she threatened to kill herself. He also explains that he thought he had slept with Lindsey, and did not realise until after that it was Kim. He only forced her to have an abortion so that Kim would not ruin her life over her obsession.

When Grace is arrested for killing Mercedes, Kim throws a brick threw a police car window in order to spend some time with her, leading her to be arrested for vandalism. She is later released, and tells Trevor that Grace does not want to see her, when she actually said that she is desperate to see him. Worried about Esther's well-being, Nancy tells her about Kim's obsession with Joe, and that she believes it might be resurfacing as she has been spending a lot of time with Trevor. Furious, Esther dumps Kim and shouts at her publicly in the street, ultimately revealing to Lindsey and Freddie that Kim slept with Joe. The following day, Kim attempts to grovel to both Lindsey and Esther, however after Lindsey is extremely hostile towards her, she confides in Esther. Esther then allows Kim to move back in but performs a lie detector test on her, which reveals that Kim loves Esther and that she only did what she did with Joe because she was jealous of Lindsey. Kim then discovers that Lindsey has told the hospital about her obsessive behaviour and she is suspended. She storms over to Lindsey's flat and threatens to reveal a secret about Lindsey's relationship with Kim's twin sister Kath (Mikaela Newton), however, Lindsey warns Kim to stay away from her and her family. Kim continues to blackmail Lindsey into getting her job back, and later confides in her about how she feels guilty for not visiting Kath. Later, when Kim is being questioned by the hospital, Lindsey discovers her diary graffitied with photos and writing about Grace, and she realises she has developed yet another obsession. When she confronts Kim, she shouts at Lindsey and storms off. It later transpires that Kim has still been in contact with Kath, visiting her in a care home as she suffered brain damage at an early age.

Kim is furious when she learns that Lindsey has moved Kath into a different care home and leaves work in the middle of a shift to try and find her. She destroys the room that Kath used to be in, before the police are called. After realising that she could become closer to Grace by becoming violent, Kim slaps one of the police officers and is arrested. She is sent to the same prison as Grace, and is not impressed by her cellmate Reenie McQueen's (Zöe Lucker) mistreatment of her. In an act of revenge for her rudeness towards Grace, Kim spikes Reenie's drink with laxatives, which she has a bad reaction to and ends up in hospital. Kim then talks to the prison governor and is moved into Grace's cell as Reenie is now in hospital. During a heart-to-heart, Kim and Grace kiss again and they sleep together.

Later she confronts Sinead but realises Diane slept with Lockie. After exchanging heated words, Diane is pushed out of a window however she does not die.

On 8 April 2015, it was announced that an upcoming storyline would see Porsche involved in a child sexual abuse storyline. In scenes airing on 13 April 2015, Porsche would reveal to Phoebe McQueen (Mandip Gill), who was previously suffered sexual abuse herself, that her mother's boyfriend, Pete (later announced to be played by Torchwood actor, Kai Owen) sexually attacked her when she was 15. Viewers will soon realise that Porsche told her mother, Reenie McQueen (Zoe Lucker) at the time of the incident, but Pete convinced Reenie that Porsche's accusations were not true and that Porsche had propositioned him.^[21] A spokesperson for the soap explained: "The McQueen sisters [Porsche, Celine and Cleo] came to Hollyoaks to escape from an unhappy home life and the memory of Reenie's boyfriend Pete. The sisters had never confided in each other about Pete's inappropriate behaviour, which they had all experienced to varying degrees, so the extent of the danger he posed within the family was never revealed. When Pete comes back into their lives, troubled Reenie desperately wants him to stay and the girls want their mum to be in a happier place - but letting him into their home brings with it devastating consequences."^[21] Hollyoaks and child protection charity, the NSPCC have both been announced to offer support online over the course of the storyline and are set to promote a 'No Secrets' campaign, which will target to help youth find necessary help if they were to face a similar situation.^[21]

NSPCC lead for tacking sexual abuse, Jon Brown, spoke about the upcoming storyline and sexual abuse in children: "Well-researched storylines in soaps can help raise awareness of difficult and important issues, reaching millions of people and helping those affected reach out for support. Sexual abuse is a crime that rips apart families and I am very pleased with the way that Hollyoaks has thoughtfully approached an enormously emotive and challenging subject. Sexual abuse of children within families is disturbingly the most common form and the impact on victims is devastating, sometimes damaging them long into adulthood if they don't get the right support. Children can stay silent for fear of what speaking out will do to the relationships they have with other members of the family. Abusers may cynically use this fear to keep children silent, leaving them suffering a daily nightmare. Its important children know that help is out there and they can move forward positively."^[21] Hollyoaks' executive producer, Bryan Kirkwood spoke about how viewers should be aware that Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) suffered sexual abuse within her family, and how the research that the Hollyoaks team did found that abuse can in fact infiltrate generations. He continued to speak about what he hopes to achieve: "Her daughter Reenie is as much the victim here as her daughters in that her own childhood was filled with such unclear boundaries that she is unable to spot the markers that mean her own girls are at risk. But this is not a hopeless story - far from it. It will endeavour to show that we do have the power to stop abuse and most importantly that it is possible to recover and to go on and have a happy and successful life. The campaign 'no secrets' is a simple message that can be used to encourage adults not to ask children to keep secrets and let children know that they shouldn't have secrets either. It is the secrets kept by generations of this family that have led to what we will see play out on screen this year."^[21]
