Jennifer Metcalfe
Although recent newspaper reports suggested that Jennifer is heading for a career in Hollywood, there are no plans for her to bow out as Mercedes McQueen at the moment.

Mercedes is expected to go off-screen for a while soon as Jennifer did pantomime over Christmas and is now on a break from filming until mid-February, but she will definitely be back.

New character Kevin
Actor Elliot Balchin has tweeted to announce his casting on the show.

Balchin is playing the role of Kevin, a mystery guy who arrives in the village at the end of the month when Mitzeee Minniver is interviewing for barmen at Chez Chez.

Kevin appears to have secured the job when Brendan Brady vetoes all of the other applicants. Later, though, it's clear that Kevin might not be all he seems when he starts spying on Brendan and Ste and reports back to a mystery contact - what's he up to?

Doug Carter
Doug returns to the village on January 29 following his time away in America, and seems to be happier than ever as he arrives back. Will Doug have moved on from his estranged husband Ste?

At the same time, Ste still hasn't told Amy the truth about the changes in his love life. Will he ever make contact with her to explain that he's now with Brendan? Either way, we know she's back next month!

Brendan and Mitzeee
'Britzeee' fans will be pleased to know that they share more scenes together in late January as Brendan loses his temper with Mitzeee and tells her the truth about his abusive childhood.

Mitzeee encourages Brendan to open up further, but will he want to confide in her?

Over on Hollyoaks, Ste Hay and Brendan Brady are in for a surprise when Doug Carter arrives back in the village.

Doug (PJ Brennan) jetted off home to America late last year after realising that he had to let go of his relationship with Ste, but surprisingly, he seems happier than ever upon his return. Is Doug over Ste?

Doug's return isn't the only thing that Brendan (Emmett Scanlan) has to deal with, as he is still struggling to cope with his abusive father Seamus's presence in the village.

Unable to control his anger, Brendan loses his temper when Liam accidentally smashes Leah's school project. He also finds himself in an argument with Mitzeee at Chez Chez, which leads to a shock confession from Brendan about his childhood abuse.

Later, when Mitzeee is interviewing for new barmen at the club, a ruthless Brendan gets rid of every candidate apart from newcomer Kevin (Elliot Balchin).

It looks like Kevin has landed himself the job - but as he later spies on Brendan and Ste from afar and reports back to someone, it seems that he may have an ulterior motive for being in the village.

Things are looking up for Brendan when he makes the big decision to live with Ste, but does Kevin's arrival mean that more trouble is brewing for the Irishman?

Hollyoaks star PJ Brennan has revealed that his character Doug Carter won't be hoping to win back ex-lover Ste Hay when he returns to the village.

Doug arrives back next week and comes face-to-face with Ste for the first time since their split in December.

Ste reunited with Brendan Brady after his relationship with Doug came to an end last month, and it seems that the trio's love triangle is now finally over.

Brennan told Inside Soap: "Doug's primary reason for returning is the business that he runs with Ste. There were a lot of dark moments for Doug last year, but the one positive thing to come out of it all was the success of the deli.

"So while Doug left a lot of bad things behind, he turned his back on some good things too."

On Ste's relationship with Brendan, the actor continued: "Whatever his opinion on the situation, Doug decides to keep a respectful distance from it all. He's certainly not pining after Ste any more, and makes it clear that he's only interested in sorting out the business.

"The time Doug spent in the States has done him the world of good. He left Hollyoaks at his lowest point, but Doug's much more level-headed when he returns - and 100% more comfortable being himself."

Brennan explained that while there is still "part of him that still loves Ste", Doug is no longer trying to hold on to their romantic connection.

He added: "Over the next few weeks, the audience will see Doug re-establish old connections and also make some new ones. A few new faces have turned up in the village while Doug's been away, and one or two of them might pique his interest."

Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
