Hollyoaks bosses will introduce a new character as part of Peri Lomax's homelessness storyline later this week.
Mollie Lambert has been cast in the role of Harley, who makes her first appearance in this Friday's E4 first look episode (April 13).
Harley will pay a visit to the village after hearing that Leela Lomax is offering a £5,000 reward in exchange for information about Peri's whereabouts.
Having lived on the streets for many years, Harley is brave, bold and has nothing to lose. In desperate need of some home comforts, Harley takes advantage of Leela's hospitality by asking for food, a hot shower and the £5,000 reward money up-front.

Harley's only problem is that Louis Loveday is unconvinced that she has any genuine information that could really help, leaving Leela unsure of who to listen to.
Next week, we'll also see how Harley knows Peri when Hollyoaks airs a special homelessness episode exploring the struggles that Leela's daughter has faced out on the streets.
Speaking about joining the Hollyoaks cast, Mollie commented: "I am so pleased to be introduced into the Hollyoaks family and looking forward to getting stuck in.
"It's been a privilege to have worked with The Whitechapel Centre and Centrepoint and learn how homelessness can happen to anyone. Hopefully this story can help raise awareness of these and other charities that work so hard to help people who find themselves without a place to live."
