she is leaving
Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has praised her upcoming exit from the soap, teasing that it will be "fantastic".
It was announced over the summer that the actress would be bowing out from her role as Mercedes McQueen after eight years.
Speaking about her exit plot, Metcalfe said to Inside Soap: "I am very happy with Mercedes's departure - it's fantastic. I have always left my character in the writers' trustworthy hands and the stuff they have come up with has been great.
"It was a difficult decision to leave the show as I love being here every day. But as you know already, there are a few new McQueens in town and they are just what the doctor ordered. It is like they have been with us since day one and we are really privileged to have them."

Hollyoaks will air spectacular scenes next week as the wedding of newcomers Porsche McQueen and Lockie Campbell ends in tragedy.
The McQueen family are all caught up in the drama as a train crashes and explodes in some of the biggest scenes in the show's history.
Staying tight-lipped on whether her character could lose her life in the tragedy, Metcalfe said: "It's a sad thought.
"I can't say too much but lives are on the line. It's very dramatic and very exciting."

The huge storyline twist builds up to Friday's milestone 4,000th episode of Hollyoaks, in which the McQueens realise Mercedes is missing and the police launch a murder investigation - leaving prime suspect Freddie with some very difficult questions to answer.
Hollyoaks airs these scenes tonight (November 19) at 7pm on E4 and tomorrow (November 20) at 6.30pm on Channel 4.

I wanted her dead and off the show but having Freddie the plank kill her is a terrible exit for her
The thing about her "murder" is that whilst the intruder wasn't shown on-screen whilst it happened and Freddie was shown at the end, is there a bit of sneaky sneaky going on here. If Hollyoaks wanted to tell us it was Freddie why not during the actual murder and not right at the end when he is running away? Has it been confirmed Freddie does kill Mercedes or is it just that he is there, which is obvious, but doesnt mean he did it.
Jennifer Metcalfe has stayed tight-lipped over her shock exit storyline in a new interview about her departure from the soap.
Wednesday's E4 first look episode (November 19) saw the actress's character Mercedes McQueen go out with a bang as she appeared to have been murdered by Freddie Roscoe.
The act itself did not take place on screen, sparking much speculation and intrigue among viewers - but fans did see Mercedes's lifeless body being dragged away before a frantic clean-up operation began at the McQueen house.
Speaking in a Story of Mercedes video released by Hollyoaks, Metcalfe hinted that the exact details of what happened could stay under wraps for a while.
She said: "Mercedes's departure is totally shrouded in mystery. Running up to the week where she exits, she has really annoyed pretty much everyone in the village, so it's 'who's done it?'
"Who has she got involved with? What's gone on off-screen? Is it all as it seems?"
Charlie Clapham, who plays Freddie, has also responded on Twitter to the fan reaction over his character's latest dark behaviour.
The mystery over Mercedes's sinister exit will continue on into Hollyoaks' milestone 4,000th episode, which will air on E4 on Thursday (November 20) and Channel 4 the following evening.
The McQueens are initially oblivious to any foul play, but it's not long before some worrying evidence comes to light and the police launch a murder investigation.
Metcalfe's departure from the role of Mercedes was announced in August following an eight-year run for the character.
she isn't dead she will be back next year
