Ste Hay gets a reminder of his past on Hollyoaks later this month as a Brendan Brady lookalike pays a brief visit to the village.
Newcomer Sammy, played by actor Andy McGuire, is a stripper who makes a surprise appearance during Darren Osborne's stag party at The Loft.

Sammy's striking resemblance to Brendan doesn't go unnoticed as Ste (Kieron Richardson) attends the party with his current on-off boyfriend John Paul McQueen (James Sutton).
Ste is shocked to see Sammy as it isn't the first time they have met, but fans will have to wait and see what their connection is and how it could affect Ste's turbulent romance with John Paul.
McGuire filmed a handful of Hollyoaks scenes last month and underwent a style makeover on set to help him look like former cast member Emmett Scanlan, who played Brendan.

Scanlan played the role of Brendan between 2010 and 2013 and helped to build up a devoted fanbase for his character's intense relationship with Ste.
Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Thursday, August 28 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
