Marnie arrives in Hollyoaks revealing that she has been working with her son, James, with the inadvertent help of Cindy, to drain her ex-husband, Mac, of his finances as he was awarded everything by the courts when they divorced. She threatens to take away their daughter, Ellie, if he does not comply. Mac then gives her a large amount of money to keep her away from Ellie. Before she and James leave Hollyoaks, her other son, Nathan, accidentally reveals to her that Alfie is the biological son of Mac and Cindy. Marnie is furious and goes to The Dog in the Pond where she reveals to everybody that Alfie is Mac and Cindy's son. Marnie then attempts to persuade Diane O'Connor (Alex Fletcher) and Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) to sell The Hutch to her in an attempt to get closer to her children. However, their several attempts fail. Marnie, with the help of James, steal Diane's laptop to see whether if the restaurant is close to bankruptcy. It is then revealed that the restaurant could be bankrupt by Easter, so she and James then return to the restaurant in a bid to persuade Diane and Tony into selling the restaurant. However, Diane's nephew Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams) catches them with the laptop as they return it. Marnie later learns that Tony earned money from betting with Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson). She later informs Diane of this, leaving her upset. Marnie later helps Ellie open up a beauty parlour. At first, Ellie's beauty parlour is unsuccessful. However, when Ellie helps Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham) and Tegan Lomax (Jessica Ellis) raise money for charity, her business starts to become a success.

After informing Alfie's family, Cindy then tells Marnie that Alfie's cancer had returned. This leaves Marnie shocked and upset. Marnie then tells Cindy that she had tried to be a good mother to Alfie, but she couldn't love him as much as she loved Nathan, James and Ellie. Marnie, Cindy and Neeta then put aside their differences so that they can all be there for Alfie. After learning about Rachel's death, Marnie becomes devastated. She later meets Freddie at The Loft. The pair start talking and they then both go back to Freddie's house, where they have sex. The next day, Marnie learns that Freddie is going on a date with Ellie. She pretends that she and Freddie haven't met before and she introduces herself as Ellie's mother, leaving Freddie horrified. Marnie follows Ellie and Freddie as they go on a date at The Loft. While Ellie leaves, Marnie tells Freddie if she doesn't back away from her daughter, then she will tell her everything that happened between them. The next day, Freddie breaks up with Ellie, leaving her devastated. However, Ellie and Freddie later get back together again, much to Marnie's dismay. Since they got back together, Marnie has been constantly threatening Freddie to leave Ellie alone, but Freddie refuses. Freddie even blackmails her at one point by using a picture of Marnie kissing him. He said if she tries to break them up, he will show both Ellie and Mac the picture and they will never forgive her for what she did. Marnie and James continue their plan into getting The Hutch. Some of their plans have include getting Scott to distil alcoholic drinks, using Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane) to bankrupt Tony as she wants £8,000 from Tony as compensation for having a neck injury caused by Scott and manipulating Scott into burning The Hutch down. Marnie and James are successful in buying The Hutch and rename it to "Nightingales"; at its opening, Ellie is furious since her mother told her that she would turn the restaurant into a cosmetics shop to fulfill her daughter's dream.

When Marnie's mother, Tabitha Maxwell-Brown (Linda Gray), visited the family, the majority of them were overwhelmed, apart from Mac who did not get along with Tabitha. Tabitha returned to America when Marnie proclaimed her love for Mac. In a bid to not lose her relationship with Ellie, Marnie claimed she had a brain tumour. When Mac discovered the truth surrounding her brain tumour, he threatened to reveal the truth. The family were left devastated when Nathan died after falling from a window and following this, Mac told the family that Marnie had been misdiagnosed and was not ill.

The character and casting was announced on 24 January 2016. It has been said that Marnie will waste no time in causing "chaos for Mac" and has been billed as "a complex, intriguing and hilarious matriarch with a big broken heart" and that she can start a fight in an empty room. Marnie arrives in the village to help her son, James, take down Mac for events that happened in the past by using Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) against him, however she is unaware that Cindy is Alfie Nightingale's (Richard Linnell) biological mother and the reason for her divorce from Mac.[3] A reporter writing for the Inside Soap Yearbook described Marnie's entrance as "the classiest" of 2016, before noting that she arrived wearing "the biggest hat ever seen in soap!"[4]

Armstrong develops a sudden attraction to Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter), who begins receiving sinister messages.

However, as he is leaving, Armstrong watches Leela through his hidden camera.

Armstrong returns two months later just as Leela and Zack are about to reunite. A jealous Armstrong pushes Zack down the steps outside the Lomax house. Zack is rushed to hospital where he says he was pushed. Zack's dad Louis reports this to DS Armstrong who promises to find Zack's attacker as he is clearly dangerous. Armstrong breaks into Leela's flat, stealing a photo of her and her nightgown. However, when Leela reports the theft to him he slips up by revealing information he wasn't supposed to know. Leela confronts Armstrong who blackmails her into silence by threatening to tell Zack that Louis is Daniel's biological father.

Armstrong then turns his attentions to Dirk Savage's wife, Cindy Cunningham. He moves in with Dirk and Cindy as a lodger, sets up a fake website with nasty messages about Cindy and then plays the role of the hero. Armstrong then arranges for Dirk to receive a false telephone call claiming that his daughter Liberty has been in an accident. After Dirk leaves, Armstrong persuades Cindy to attend a conference in Liverpool. Armstrong accompanies Cindy to protect her, having booked adjacent rooms at the hotel for Cindy and himself. When Cindy realises the conference is a fake, Armstrong convinces her that she should stay in a locked room with him for her safety. Armstrong deliberately spills wine on Cindy's dress and tries to kiss her. Cindy rejects Armstrong, reminding him she is married to Dirk. While in the bathroom, Cindy receives a phone call from Leela warning her that Armstrong is her stalker. Cindy runs for it. Armstrong is arrested but later released on bail.

The character and casting was announced on 12 May 2016. A Hollyoaks spokesperson has billed him as "young, driven, and ambitious",[13] with Hayden-Smith stating that his character is "very authoritative so anyone hiding secrets is anxious when they are in his presence, and rightly so."[14]

It was teased that there could be "fireworks" when Tracey and Grace reunite because they "are not the best of friends" and there is "not a lot of love lost between them."[24] A show insider added that Tracey would add an "interesting dynamic" to the Donovan family and that Maxwell "enjoyed" filming, with show bosses believing that the audience would "love" scenes between Maxwell and Wall.[26] For the role, Maxwell has required to have a "make-under" to make her appear older on-screen as there is only a 13-year age difference between Maxwell and Wall, with her describing the "make-under" as "great, terrific fun".[24] The Sun reported that Tracey's arrival in the village "could spell disaster" for Grace's family and that she would "reveal a shocking secret which could mean bad news" for Adam, Liam and Jesse.[25] Kilkelly said that he "hardly recognised" Maxwell in her first promotional image.[24] Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood later revealed that Maxwell would become a "recurring guest star",[27] meaning that she would "pop up from time to time" and not move into the village on a regular basis.[26]

Juanita Salvador Martinez Hernandez De La Cruz, played by Jacey Sallés made her first on-screen appearance on 19 September 2016. She was introduced as the mother of Diego Salvador Martinez Hernandez De La Cruz (Juan Pablo Yepez).[28]

Juanita is first mentioned when Diego and his much older pregnant fiancée, Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane), are struggling financially, and Diego states that Juanita is worth £5 million. Excited, Myra calls Juanita in from Venezuela in order to get Diego's inheritance. However, upon her arrival, Juanita sees Myra's face on front-page news after conning the newspaper company into believing that Jesse Donovan (Luke Jerdy) is her unborn child's father. Panicked after hearing Juanita insulting her, Myra asks her niece Celine McQueen (Sarah George) to pretend to be Diego's fiancée, which she does and Juanita takes a shining to her. She promises to return for their wedding, and so Celine revises Diego's ancestry in order to be believed as Diego's fiancée. This hurts Myra having to watch Diego and Celine marry, and equally hurts Celine who is desperate to be with her lover, Jesse.

Juanita later returns for Celine and Myra's daughter Mercedes McQueen's (Jennifer Metcalfe) hen parties, who is getting married to Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callaghan) at the same time that Diego will marry Celine. Juanita insults the family home and Cindy Savage (Stephanie Waring), which instantly leads to her becoming unwelcome around the village. The hen night ends disastrously, however, when Mercedes, Cindy and Tegan Lomax (Jessica Ellis) are all arrested for fighting. On the day of the wedding, Diego and Celine are prepared to marry as Juanita watches on, however a visit from Jesse throws Celine's intentions. As Diego and Celine say their vows, Myra arrives and stops the wedding, revealing to Juanita that she is engaged to Diego and that Diego is the father of her unborn baby. Juanita then gives Diego an ultimatum: he either leaves Myra or he will not get his share of her inheritance. Diego chooses to be with Myra and their baby, and so Juanita storms out of the church, infuriated.

The character and casting was announced on 21 August 2016.[28] It was reported that Juanita would arrive in Hollyoaks to meet his new partner. She was billed as "a glamorous and feisty woman with an iron will, who always wanted the best for her son".[28] Sallés told Susan Hill from the Daily Star that she apologised to fellow cast members for nasty remarks her character makes. She added "Juanita is like a pantomime villain – the sort of character you’d boo and hiss. She’s so vile and rude."[29]

Nick first arrives when his uncle Dirk Savage's (David Kennedy) wife Cindy (Stephanie Waring) opens the door for Nick, who introduces himself. Nick reveals that Dirk allowed him to stay for university. Nick starts working at The Hutch when Marnie Nightingale (Lysette Anthony) employs him. Nick cannot cope with being a waiter and decides to swap jobs with Cindy. During "Freshers" week, Cindy's daughter Holly Cunningham (Amanda Clapham) introduces him to her friends and unknown to Nick, Holly is attracted to him. Holly is upset when Tegan Lomax (Jessica Ellis) flirts with Nick. Nick confronts Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham) when he argues with Ellie Nightingale (Sophie Porley). Ellie later kisses Nick and they start talking. They later go to Ellie's bedroom, where a drunken Ellie falls asleep, however Nick misreads the situation and continues kissing Ellie. Ellie is shocked the following morning when Nick claims that they had sex, as Ellie does not remember giving her consent. Ellie starts acting awkwardly with Nick, who has begun flirting with Holly, which worries Ellie.

In 2017, Nick is later arrested after Ellie reports to the police for raping her, but the charges are dropped after Lisa Loveday (Rachel Adedeji) reports it as a fake, due to her part for revenge to Ellie's father, Mac Nightingale (David Easter). However, Nick later turns against Ellie, and offers his condolences following the death of her older brother, Nathan Nightingale (Jared Garfield). Nick begins an affair with Tegan, having sex regularly at work. When Tegan believes she is pregnant, Nick rejects her, so Tegan tells Holly about their affair. Holly forgives Nick, and they reconcile. Nick and Holly go to his graduation party at The Dog, where Zack Loveday (Duayne Boachie) tells Nick that he and Holly kissed. Nick humiliates Holly, but she forgives him and they go back home. Nick wants to have sex with Holly, but she refuses. Nick ignores her pleas and rapes her, in a similar fashion to Ellie. The next day, Holly confronts Nick about her not giving consent, but he becomes aggressive and defensive towards her. Holly reports Nick to the police after telling Ellie what Nick has done to her. Nick is released on bail and goes to the hospital to talk to Tegan. When Tegan refuses to allow him to stay with her and her family, he brands her a "bitch". Nick talks to Holly, blackmailing her by threatening to uploard their sex tape online if she refuses to retract her statement. Nick tells Dirk that neither Ellie or Holly consented to having sex. Dirk phones the police and Nick confesses to raping Ellie and Holly. He is arrested and thrown out by his parents. Nick asks for Dirk's help, but he is reluctant. While waiting for Dirk at the folly, Nick is confronted by Holly and she asks him to leave. Nick is sentenced to 7 years imprisonment for the rapes of Ellie and Holly, and must serve at least 3 and a half years, before he is considered for parole.

The character and casting was announced on 18 August 2016. Nick is Dirk's fun-loving nephew who's able to make "a dodgy deal like any true Savage and he's also a typical ladies' man" who will catch the eyes of several female residents of the village. Nick has been billed as "fun-loving", "the popular boy who all the lads wanted to be friends with and all the girls fancied" and someone able to make "a dodgy deal like any true Savage and he's also a typical ladies' man".[32] It was reported that Nick would catch the eyes of several female residents of the village.[32] It was also announced that Nick would be involved in a storyline which would see the issue of sexual consent explored.[34] The show worked with Rape Crisis and youth charity The Mix when creating the storyline and show bosses hoped that the storyline would "divide opinions", but promised that the issue would be "sensitively explored".[34] The storyline would begin where Ellie and Nick have sex after getting drunk during Fresher's Week, but the following morning Ellie would wake up with no recollection of what happened.[34] Davies said that he was "really interested" in seeing his character's progress throughout the story. He added that it was "a very important issue" which carried "big responsibility".[34] Davies said that he was "honoured" that the show had entrusted him with the storyline.[34] Zoë Bailie from The Mix said that the story "couldn't be more timely" and added that "working together with Hollyoaks, we hope to break down the myths surrounding consent. We want to help young people understand what consent is, what it isn't and importantly how to make sure they have it before entering into a sexual experience."[34]

Occupation Detective Inspector

Detective Inspector Eva Falco, played by Kerry Bennett, is the niece of Jack Osborne (Jimmy McKenna). She first appeared on 21 September 2016 and made her final appearance on 17 January 2017.

Eva is first seen visiting her father, Billy Brodie (Clive Russell), in hospital and is left devastated when he dies. Despite warning from Billy not to, Eva seeks revenge on Billy's brother, Jack, believing he is responsible for her father's life in prison. She breaks into his home and trashes the place, with Jack and Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) reporting the crime to the police. Eva is revealed as the detective in charge of the investigation and informs Jack and Esther that there is nothing to worry about. Eva later meets Liam Donovan (Maxim Baldry) in The Loft nightclub and they have sex. When she discovers he was planning to use her, Eva decides to use Liam in her plan to take revenge on Jack. Eva asks Liam to look after some drugs for her, which she took from the evidence room at the police station, however she later takes them back and allows Liam to believe that he has lost them. Eva tells Liam that she needs a large amount of money to pay the drug dealer, and is frustrated when Liam confides in his older half-sister, Grace Black (Tamara Wall), who is a former gangster. Eva later explains to Liam that the drug dealer she is dealing with has threatened to kill her, however she will be spared if she murders somebody in return. Eva then gives Liam a photograph of Jack, and orders him to kill him. However, after talking to Jack's cancer-stricken foster daughter Jade Albright (Kassius Nelson), Eva stops Liam from murdering Jack with a car boot lid. Eva continues her hate campaign against Jack, and on the day of Billy's funeral, is furious to see Jack laying flowers in his memory. Eva then charges over to the Osbornes armed with a gun, however Liam contacts Jack and warns him that he is in danger. Cindy Savage (Stephanie Waring) later visits the Osbornes to find that the entire family has vanished without a trace.

Liam is certain that Eva is involved with the disappearance of Jack and his family, but she explains that when she arrived at the Osbornes', they had already gone. Liam later finds a message from Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) to his girlfriend Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell), asking to meet her in the folley, however he keeps this from Eva. After Cindy phones the police on Liam, believing he knows something about the Osbornes' disappearance, Eva finds Tom's message in Liam's wallet, and is furious that Liam kept it from her, because Tom could have led her to Jack. When Liam attempts to thwart her plans yet again, Eva records Liam confessing that Grace shot him, and blackmails him into keeping quiet. She later finds an address for Kim Butterfield (Daisy Wood-Davis), to whom Jack has been transferring money monthly. She questions Kim, but her interrogation is disrupted by the arrival of Grace and Cindy. Eva then threatens Liam, saying that if Grace does not leave her to find the Osbornes herself, she will give her recorded confession to the police. Liam later forgives Eva, and they continue their relationship, but she is still intent on finding the Osbornes. She is thrilled when Tegan Lomax (Jessica Ellis) informs her that Kim had visited the hospital in search of medication, and so Eva puts all hospitals in the borough on alert. She is called to one hospital where Jack's son, Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson), has brought his wife Nancy (Jessica Fox), but is frustrated to find that they have vanished.

Eva refuses to give up the search for the family, and is later informed by Peri that Tom is back in the village. When Tom refuses to reveal the Osbornes' whereabouts during questioning, Eva threatens to charge him with murdering the Osbornes unless he tells her. Tom's former guardian, Sam "O.B." O'Brien (Darren Jeffries), later promises Eva that he will get Tom to confess. However, when Eva leaves Tom in a police car momentarily to take her to the Osbornes, O.B. appears and helps Tom escape, with the whole village doubting Eva's abilities as a detective over the incident, infuriating her. It is later revealed that O.B. is an ally of Jack's, and is helping him find out who wants him dead, and he reveals his suspicions of Eva's motives. O.B. also shares this with Grace, who worries due to Eva's relationship with Liam. Eva continues her quest to find the Osbornes as 2016 comes to an end, and is stunned when she bumps into Jack on New Year's Eve. She takes him back to the Osborne household armed with a gun, where Darren, Nancy and Jack's wife Frankie (Helen Pearson) arrive and she holds them all hostage. It is then revealed that when they were teenagers, Billy was feuding with a local schoolboy and severely beat him up, and taunted Jack to do the same. Jack kicked the schoolboy, which was the blow that lead to his death. Jack was then manipulated by the police to get Billy imprisoned, who then manipulated Eva to believe that Jack was responsible for the way her life turned out. Suddenly, Kim, Grace and Esther arrive and as Jack and Darren attempt to wrestle the gun off Eva, the trigger is pulled and Esther is shot, leaving her in a coma.[35]

Eva goes into hiding, knowing that Grace is after her. Liam and Jack, who has now been exiled from his family, help Eva to escape the village, which ultimately leads to Liam being banished from his family, too. Liam remains in contact with Eva, and after convincing his older brother, Adam Donovan (Jimmy Essex) to help them financially, Liam leaves the village with Eva. Elsewhere, Esther regains consciousness in hospital and suffers from post-traumatic amnesia, and orders Grace to get revenge on Eva for shooting her. At the train station, Eva fears that the police will catch her, but she and Liam manage to board the train. However, after Liam leaves for a moment, he returns to find Eva seemingly sleeping, but finds the back of her head bleeding and realises that she is dead. Grace is then shown leaving the train station, having shot Eva in the back of the head for what she did to Esther. An investigation into Eva's murder is then underway, with Liam working with DS Geoff Thorpe (James Bradshaw) to bring Grace down. Liam is later devastated when DS Thorpe reveals that Eva was pregnant with his baby when she died, making him more determined to get a confession out of Grace.

The character and casting was announced on 18 August 2016. Her backstory states that she "drifted in and out of care homes" due to her father, Billy, disappearing and her mother dying at a young age. This transformed Eva into "an angry tearaway", until she joined the police force. Eva eventually found her father, but comes to the village looking for the person who kept them apart in order to take revenge on them.[36] The character left the series in scenes that aired on 17 January 2017. Eva was killed-off when Grace murdered her while Eva and Liam were travelling on a train. Her departure had been teased through the show's social media platforms on 16 January. On her departure, Bennett said "I've had such an amazing time and felt so welcomed and supported from the start. I'm sad to be leaving - six months has flown by way too fast - but it feels awesome to have been involved in such a great storyline on such a fabulous production."[37]

I've grown up watching it so to be in it is unbelievable. It was an irresistible opportunity, especially to play this character."[38]

It was confirmed that Goldie would be joined by her 15-year-old twin sons, Prince and Hunter (Malique Thompson-Dwyer and Theo Graham).[38] Goldie and her sons arrive in search of their "posh and distant relatives" Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane), Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), who are not pleased by their arrival.[38] Goldie was billed as a "tough, gobby and abouselty shameless [...] good old-fashioned McQueen" that would "never back down in a fight" and always get involved in a scam to earn quick money. A show spokesperson said that Goldie would arrive in the village "in the hope of mooching off the family she's scarcely had anything to do with", but that the only thing she cares about more than money is her children, who she had when she was a teenager.[38] Healey expressed her disbelief at playing a mother, but stated that Thompson-Dwyer and Graham were "fantastic to work with" and that all three were "delighted" by the new family unit. She also compared the wardrobe to her younger self's wardrobe.[38]

Healey's pregnancy and temporary departure from the series was announced on 21 January 2017. Show producers created storylines to allow Healey absence from the show, but promised "plenty of drama" for Goldie before she leaves.[41] The character will depart on 4 July 2017 after deciding to take the blame for a robbery that Prince committed, before escaping court and fleeing the village. Healey departed alongside Metcalfe, who also took maternity leave from her role as Mercedes.[42]

Mercedes finds out and forces Goldie to delete it, she does but restores the video. Goldie uses this to blackmail Ryan. Her cousin, John Paul, discovers the video. Goldie is surprised when her ex-boyfriend and Prince and Hunter's father, Shane Sweeney (Lanre Malaolu) arrives in the village, having been released from prison.

Tabitha "whips up a storm just like Sue Ellen did" when she arrives, following the death of her husband, and is said to have "fierce and affectionate bond" with Marnie, although she will not be a fan of her ex-husband, Mac Nightingale (David Easter).[44] Executive producer, Bryan Kirkwood, decided to cast Gray after watching episodes of Dallas with his husband.[46] On her casting, Gray said, "I love England, I read the script, she's feisty, I love the feisty ones. My motto is 'choose wisely' - and I think I've chosen wisely."[47] Gray signed up to appear in the show for an initial one-week run. Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy described the character as having many stories of her "fabulous lifestyle" but is actually "lonely and harbours hurt feelings" because she is now so distant from the rest of her family.[27] Kilkelly described Gray's casting as "Soapland's casting coup of the year".[27] Gray began filming on 17 September 2016.[48]

Kirkwood said in October 2016 that he would like Gray to join the show on a more permanent basis and revealed that the show and Gray had had conversations on her returning. He said, "The conversations are continuing and she feels like a really natural member of the Nightingale family. If you look at the linear between her, Marnie and Ellie - all three of them are all stunning women and I believe in it. I believe she is part of that family."[46] On 14 December 2016, it was announced that Gray would return to the cast as a semi-regular character.[49] A show spokesperson said, "Everyone loved having Linda around last year and we can't wait to see her back. She's due back on set in Liverpool next week and is looking forward to working with her on-screen family again."[45] Gray returned to filming on 10 January 2017[50] and was later spotted filming an unknown family member's funeral.[51]
