The main cast line-up for Hollyoaks' latest spin-off, Hollyoaks: In The City, has finally been revealed along with more series teasers, DS can report.
Gemma Atkinson and Marcus Patrick, who play Lisa and Ben, are the only actors who are being brought forward from their last outing, Hollyoaks: Let Loose.
Starring alongside the duo will be ex-Brookside actor Philip Olivier, who appeared as Tim 'Tinhead' O'Leary. The actor will now play Adam, a schoolteacher who is holding onto a dark secret.
Emmerdale's Oliver Lee, who plays Pearl Ladderbanks' (Meg Johnson) estranged grandson in the Yorkshire-based soap, is set to appear as an openly gay 16-year-old student named Josh who is taught by Adam.
Yet another ex-Brookside star, Leon Lopez (Jerome Johnson) also stars alongside his old pal and colleague, Philip Olivier. Leon is to assume the role of Adam's best friend, Tank Top.
Finally, Kym Marsh will star as Kate, one of the central female characters who "gets up to a lot of naughty things".
Hollyoaks: In The City, which started filming at the end of last month, is expected to have completed filming by the end of September.
The first episode of the series, which was written by ex-Coronation Street and BAFTA-nominated writer Daran Little, will air on E4 at 9pm on August 14.
