Dillon Ray

Hollyoaks is set to welcome a new character next week, with actor Nathaniel Dass joining the cast of the popular soap as charismatic Dillon Ray.

Dillon, 15, makes his debut next Thursday (April 20), rocking up on the Maaliks? doorstep after being kicked out by his mum, Misbah?s sister-in-law, for being expelled from school.

The teen makes quite the impression, arriving in the eponymous village full of energy and, after convincing Misbah (Harvey Virdi) to let him stay, he moves in with her.
