Viewers will see Fraser's first scenes next week, when he is introduced as a new client for the Roscoes' garage business.

Sandy's eldest son Joe (Ayden Callaghan) then decides to play matchmaker, determined to find a more suitable partner for his mum after learning that she is having a fling with Dodger Savage (Danny Mac).

Joe's plan pays off when Fraser turns up at the house to take Sandy on a date. However, whether she will really be prepared to give up Dodger for him remains to be seen.

Hollyoaks star Jesse Birdsall has praised the latest twist involving his character Fraser Black.

Earlier this evening (September 6), Channel 4 viewers saw Fraser unveiled as Trevor Royle's boss.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Birdsall said: "It was suggested to me when I went into the initial meeting that there were some underlying problems with Fraser. He certainly does have a dark side.

"He likes to keep everyone on a bit of a leash. Trevor does most of his dirty work now - he doesn't like to get his hands too dirty but he may have to in the future.

"It's a really good storyline I've got going on there and I have really enjoyed filming it so far."

Despite Trevor's involvement in a dark underworld, Birdsall insisted that Sandy and the Roscoe family are not currently in danger.

Birdsall said: "They are not in danger at the moment. As to whether they could be further up the line, I'm not sure, but at the moment they are not.

"Fraser is very much in love with Sandy. He has very much fallen for her and he is hoping to have the family unit with her that he never had.

"He does have a nice side to him - that is part of the fun of playing him. Fraser is one thing to one set of people and another thing to another set of people.

"It is all about how successfully he can marry the two together, whilst not getting found out. He does have a nice, gentle side but underneath that is a ruthless human being."
