Dodger Savage will be left intrigued by a new arrival in Hollyoaks next month.
The wheeler-dealer will take pity on 14-year-old Nico after he realises that she is desperate for food.
Dodger (Danny Mac) first meets the newcomer when she suddenly ambushes him in the village and snatches his lunch.
Refusing to let Nico get away, Dodger grabs her but is left alarmed when she faints.
Once Nico has regained consciousness, kind-hearted Dodger gives her something to eat at the antiques emporium.
The teen tearaway accepts Dodger's support, but when he mentions taking her home to help further, she appears to be spooked and immediately runs off.
Young actress Persephone Swales-Dawson will be playing the role of Nico, but fans will have to wait and see how her storyline develops after her first meeting with Dodger.
A Hollyoaks source told Digital Spy: "Is this girl just a passing tearaway teenager? Or could there perhaps be something more?"
Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Friday, June 6 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
