“It\u2019s going to be a very different role for her in a major story that will take hold over the summer,” said Hannah. “Her character, Abigail, is not connected to anyone in the village.”<\/p>\n

Hannah also gave away that Abigail will be a key player in the Hutchinson children’s grief, following their mum Diane Hutchinson’s death<\/a>, which plays out on screen this week. <\/p>\n

“The story starts when Dee Dee, spiralling after Diane\u2019s death, takes ketamine a couple of times,” Hannah explained. “Tony finds out and makes the rash decision to drive her to a teen rehab facility where she meets this counsellor, Abigail. <\/p>\n

“Dee Dee ends up escaping from rehab and Abigail follows her back to the village, then decides to stick around.”<\/p>\n

In terms of Abigail’s future in Hollyoaks, Hannah hinted that she may have a change of career as she’s set to get a new job away from the rehab facility that allows her to stick around.<\/p>\n

“Abigail\u2019s a very dynamic presence, she\u2019s cool and progressive and loves people,” Hannah enthused. “She makes friends easily and will end up being flatmates with someone in the village, and landing a job there.”
