Hollyoaks introduces another member of the Roscoe clan next week as newcomer Freddie joins the village.

Actor Charlie Clapham has been cast as Freddie, who is the older brother of bad boy sixth former Robbie (Charlie Wernham).

Freddie turns up in Hollyoaks just in time to see that Robbie's behaviour is spiralling out of control.

After spotting Robbie stealing money from headteacher Patrick Blake, Freddie promptly dunks his sibling's head into the Jubilee fountain to teach him a lesson.

Freddie may be unhappy to see Robbie misbehaving, but it later becomes clear that he has a darker side himself.

With Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) keeping hold of some pills that Robbie had in his possession when they both hosted a rave at Chez Chez, he soon finds out that they actually belong to Freddie.

Making a profitable deal with the new arrival, Ste agrees to start selling the drugs himself…

After Ste has agreed his terms with Freddie, he also has to deal with the interference of Robbie, who blackmails him into letting him help.

Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Monday, May 6 at 6.30pm on Channel 4. The remaining members of the Roscoe clan - headed up by former EastEnders star Gillian Taylforth as mum Sandy - will join the village towards the end of May.
