Everyone's just been so friendly and made it really easy to settle in. Will is awkward, shy and a hopeless romantic that hopefully the viewers will fall in love with."[31] Of the family, a Hollyoaks spokesperson added: "The new family will take the village by storm and are set to rub all the McQueens up the wrong way. The Savage family get evicted from their home when Dirk can't keep up with the payments. Liberty is furious to come home and find her house all boarded up but big brother Dodger has a new house for them to live in! While the McQueens are away on holiday, Dodger moves his family into the empty house and declares squatters' rights! How will the McQueens react to their new housemates?"[31] In a later interview with Reveal magazine, Atherton said "I was so excited. It's all happened so fast – I got offered the part on a Thursday, and was filming the following Tuesday.

The village fountain has more personality than her - and is only slightly less wet."[35]

A promotional image featuring Will confirmed him as a suspect in the mystery.[36] He is later cleared of Lynsey's murder when it is revealed that Doctor Browning (Joe Thompson) strangled her while Walker watched on.

Texas discovers the truth about Will's deception and begs Dodger to run away with her. She is later pushed out of a window to her death. Dodger is charged with her murder after video footage emerges showing him looking shocked and distraught after leaving Texas's. It is later revealed via a flashback that Will can, in fact, walk and that he pushed Texas out the window after she told him that she was leaving him and that she always loved Dodger.
Will admits to his mother Anna Blake (Saskia Wickham) that he killed Texas and she takes the blame because she doesn't want Will to go to prison. Will and Ash start a relationship but when Will discovers Ash is visiting Anna for a work experience placement and hasn't told him, he contemplates killing her. Will visits his mother and tells her that his new girlfriend has been lying to him. Anna is unaware that it's Ash but is concerned that Will's new girlfriend might meet the same fate as Texas.

Will makes sure he is home before Ash awakens so that he can use her as an alibi. Patrick recognizes Will's trainers and confronts him but nobody believes Patrick's claims that Will can walk and that he killed Anna. Ash thinks that Patrick killed Anna and Texas and Will breaks into Patrick's flat to try and frame him but Patrick catches him red handed. Will then blackmails Patrick into keeping quiet and the police give out a verdict of accidental death because there is no evidence of murder or suicide.
Will becomes very controlling of Ash after there is mild flirting between her and Dodger, prompting Will to become very jealous. After some arguments, the two agree to get married. Leah Barnes sees Will hiding Anna's locket in a vent in Ash's house and later tells Ash what she saw, confirming Ash's suspicion that Will can indeed walk. She confronts him about it and he reveals that it was him who killed Texas and Anna. She attempts to escape but Will pins her down and tries to strangle her, however stops after she says she loves him. Dodger walks in and sees the situation, and Ash runs to him revealing everything Will has done. Just then, an explosion in the flat below rips through the house, killing Ash. Dodger has a stand off with Will and disowns him, before being crushed by a pile of rubble. He asks Will to help him, as there is more rubble waiting to fall, but Will has no mercy on Dodger and the roof collapses on Dodger, apparently killing him. Will carries Ash from the building, and is seen walking by his dad, though he returns to his wheelchair, lying that it was 'survival instinct' that let him walk.
Dodger is pulled from the rubble and is still alive. At the hospital he is still in a coma but the doctors confirm that he will make a full recovery. Will tries to suffocate Dodger with a pillow but is interrupted by Dirk walking into the room. Dodger wakes up but can't remember what happened during the explosion, after which doctors tell them he suffered a bit of memory loss due to concussion, allowing him to live as Will no longer has to kill him. When Danny Lomax (Stephen Billington) gives his son Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) a box of things his wife Sam Lomax (Lizzie Roper) recovered from the flats, Anna's locket is one of the items. After Doug Carter (PJ Brennan) and Leanne's funerals, Ste gives Martha Kane (Carli Norris) the locket and after talking with Ste's daughter Leah, she realizes the locket is Anna's. She voices her concerns to Dodger and Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) and the three of them conclude Will must have killed Texas, Anna and maybe Ash, but Will overhears the entire conversation and comes up with a plan. He sends all of Dodger's loved ones a text from Dirk's phone.
Soon Will holds Patrick, Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), Dirk, Dennis and Martha hostage at the house he inherited from Anna. He can not get hold of Sienna, not realizing she is already there with Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins), who she is kidnapping to keep her fake pregnancy story a secret. When Sienna hears a thud upstairs, she goes to investigate - only to find the hostages. She goes to find a weapon, but the noise she is making alerts Will, who goes to see what is going on. Sienna attempts to free the hostages, but Will returns and overpowers her, taking the gun she had found off her. Martha manages to untie her bonds and stands up, confronting Will. Will decides to let her go after realizing she means nothing to Dodger, however after she disappears from sight, a shot is heard, and Will reveals he shot her after she tried to run away. Unbeknownst to Will, she survived and manages to call the police. When Patrick manages to untie his bonds, he stands up and pretends he is going to kill Dodger so Will's plan will be useless, but after Will hears sirens, he flees through the house with Dodger in pursuit. They have a big confrontation on the roof about how Will killed Texas and Anna. Will falls off, clinging to the edge of the roof. Dodger tries to save him, but Will intentionally drags him off of the roof, and they both plummet to the ground. They both survive, but after Will unintentionally broke Dodger's fall by hitting the ground first, he is terrified to realise that he has lost feeling in both his legs again, for real this time. He is then loaded into an ambulance, before presumably being imprisoned for murder.
Will is seen again, a year later, writing a letter to Dirk, from prison, asking him to visit him. Dirk does visit Will in prison, but he says he wants nothing more to do with him. Will then goes to court for his trial of his crimes, but he fakes an illness and runs to the toilets where he causes a fire and escapes by knocking out a police guard and dressing up as a fireman. Will then kidnaps Maxine and Theresa and ties them up on the boat where Dodger lives. Will then calls Dodger and tells him that he can only save Maxine or Theresa but not both. Dodger gets distracted when he sees Sienna tied up by Will and Sienna tells Dodger that Will has the girls on the boat about to kill them both. Will sets the boat on fire, but Dodger saves Theresa and Maxine from the fire. Will also survives, but confronts Dodger at the hospital roof, only to be pushed off by Nico. Dodger takes the blame for Nico and goes on the run, Will is in a coma but is revealed to be awake after Dirk says that he wishes Will was dead. For revenge, Will injects Cindy with morphine, causing her to be hospitalised. Will then angrily says that Dirk was never the father he wished for, but Dirk fails to admit he was a good father. Later that night, an unidentified person enters Will's room, and injects him with potassium chloride through his IV drip. Dirk enters Will's room, to see him go into cardiac arrest, but does not alert the nurses, to which Will dies. Dirk later feels guilty about his death, thinking he cause it. Later in the year, Will's uncle Charles dies by the same killer soon after. In October 2015, Lindsey Butterfield is revealed as Will and Charles's killer.

Ruling with a seductive mixture of beauty, manipulation and wit, Maddie knows the power of gossip and skillfully uses it to get what she wants - not that you'd realise this, as she's so charming that you just want to be her friend (or boyfriend)! One person who is onto her, though, is BFF Tilly, who sees through Maddie's confident facade. Does this gossip girl have a vulnerable side?

Though she had holiday romance with Esther in Abersoch, Tilly likes to keep her options open and is unlikely to settle down any time soon - though she does like to dabble once in a while!

Declan Brady, played by Jay Duffy, first appeared on 2 August 2011.[67] Declan is the son of Brendan (Emmett J. Scanlan) and Eileen Brady (Rachel Doherty).[68] Of his son's casting, Keith Duffy said "They were looking for an Irish guy in Hollyoaks. They rang Duffy up, he went to London, did an audition, did a screen test, they called him back and they gave him the job." Duffy said that he did not expect to secure the role because it was a real audition and he hadn't got much acting experience.[69] He was initially signed to appear in a small number of episodes.[67]
Duffy described Declan as "an ordinary lad form Dublin, a school kid". Declan is visiting his father for a couple of weeks, Duffy said the visit is "all about him getting to know his dad" because "he doesn't know his dad very well at all". Declan is happy to see his father, he has always wanted "to chill out with him" but it is "pretty awkward" because they know so little about each other. The visit is also about whether or not Brendan will inform his son about his sexuality.[70] Duffy also revealed that he was happy to be working with Scanlan and loved "every minute" of his time filming.[69]
After Duffy departed on-screen, Bronagh Waugh who plays Declan's aunt, Cheryl Brady said that she was keen for Duffy to reprise his role because he was popular with female viewers.[71] It was later announced that Duffy would be returning to filming for another stint. Keith Duffy said that Hollyoaks were happy with his son's performance. They tried to convince Keith to let his son leave school and they would fund a private tutor in turn for making him a permanent cast member. However, Keith felt that Duffy was not ready to leave school and work full-time with adults. Keith did grant him permission to film during school holidays and revealed that Duffy was filming in Liverpool for ten days.[72]
Declan arrives with his mother Eileen to stay with his father Brendan. They go on holiday to Blackpool together shortly after arriving. Declan walks in on Brendan beating up Ste. Ste reveals to Declan that he is gay. Brendan tells Declan that he is not a man unless he has a woman and kids. Declan returns to the flat unaware Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle) is upstairs. He hears a noise so goes to investigate but before Silas can attack him he is frightened so runs from the flat. Rae Wilson (Alice Barlow) tells Ste not to let Brendan control him; reminding him the abuse relationship that he had with Brendan, not realising that Declan was standing in the kitchen, listening to them arguing. Brendan admits his sexuality to Declan, and they leave on good terms as he returns to Ireland. On 9 January 2012, Declan returned to the village without his mother's permission. During his five-day stay, he showed signs of anger and was very irritated. He later told his father that he wanted the respect he gets from making people fear him. After a dramatic telling off from his father, he finally reveals the reason why he came back: someone made a homophobic comment about his father, and reacted violently. In the middle of the night, he runs away. The next day, Brendan and Cheryl search everywhere but cannot find him. But, he later is returned by Ste. Brendan tells Declan that he needs to pack his things, because he is sending him back home. Declan later leaves the village that night without saying goodbye to his father.
On 8 August 2012, Declan breaks into Chez Chez for reasons unknown. Brendan later catches him, and brings him back home, where Declan reveals that he owes people money back in Ireland for drugs. Brendan offers to help him, but only if he stops getting involved with the people he owes money to. Declan returns when he is kidnapped by Walker (Neil Newborn) as part of his revenge scheme against Brendan. As Walker's brother overdosed from drugs given to him by Brendan, Walker plans to do the same to Declan. Brendan manages to locate them and rushes to save his son but he is already unconscious when he arrives, leaving Brendan to wait for news as he is rushed to hospital.

Four days later, Scurr received a call confirming that he had secured the role, he then travelled to Liverpool to begin filming.[91] Scurr told the National Union of Students, that he could relate to real life freshers because he "was thrown in at the deep end" at Hollyoaks and just had to make friends and get on with the experience.[94] Entertainment website Digital Spy first announced the character of Barney on 5 September 2011.[92] The Hollyoaks press office said that the students are "possibly the coolest set" to ever feature in the serial because they "shake things up" and face "life's hardest lessons". Their fresher's week branded the "most fun and cringe-worthy" one ever.[93]
| “ | He's not offensive, he's not out there going "oh, I have seventeen ponies at home", he's never showing off. In his old life he never really fitted in anywhere, he was always on the outskirts of circles, he never had anywhere to belong. Now he's here in Hollyoaks all of a sudden he's got people who want to involve him in things: drink, going to clubs etc. | ” | |
| — Tom Scurr on Barney.[95] | |||

While Scurr said that Barney is the serial's "token posh boy" who enjoys teaching others about expensive wine.[91] He also said that Barney is from a "completely different walk of life" compared to the other students. He had been enjoying "the finer things in life" but did not get the grades needed to get into "Oxbridge". Scurr sees his presence at HCC as a chance to teach Barney that life is not all "black tie and crumpets".[95] He is a "rabbit in the headlights" when he first arrives but he "quickly bonds" with his fellow students and they decide to look after him. They often joke about Barney's "naivety" but they are open about it with him. Scurr said their relationship with Barney is "odd" but at the same time it is "very nice". Scurr said that he loved playing Barney because of his simplistic discoveries such as learning to use a tin opener. Over Barney is a "sweet guy" and Scurr hoped that viewers would warm to Barney's persona.[95]

Never happier than when he's enjoying the footie and a pint down the pub with his mates (especially Barney, one of our fave Hollyoaks bromances), you won't find him indulging in any wild behaviour – that's just not his style! | ” | |
| — A reporter from E4 on Scott.[99] | |||
Demba told a reporter from Impact Magazine that Scott is "your average guy" who is not very wild and likes a pint of beer. Scott is "chilled out" and concentrates on his studies.[100] Demba added that he does not conform to the student life and "he does what's necessary to get by". Demba hoped that his cockney accent and his "lovely smile" would brighten Scott up. He thought the way Scott was written gave the impression that Scott was dull. Demba said that this was why he was attempting to implement some of his own characteristics and Scott feed off the energy fellow student Rob Edwards (David Atkins) provides.[100] Demba opined that Scott is not a big character in the series, but he "keeps everything functioning" in his circle of friends. Scott is "a bit of a sweetheart" and "likeable" because he is always ready to be extra helpful to his friends. However, Scott's attentions soon turn to Annalise Appleton and he "goes the extra mile" to sort out Annalise and Rob's relationship. Demba said that it was obvious that Scott was attracted to Annalise.[100]
The serial later started to explore Scott's background and it is revealed that he has a problematic past. As Scott went home for the Easter holidays, his friend Barney Harper-McBride (Tom Scurr) decides to visit him. Demba told Alison Slade of TVTimes that Scott's grandmother gets off to a bad start with Barney, "she thinks he's going to nick her stash of cash, so she puts on a boxing glove and chins him".[101] Scott refuses to leave the house and his grandmother keeps on mentioning his friend named Mitchell. Demba said that because Scott is from the East End of London, "you can't be an angel among demons all the time". Scott fell victim to peer pressure and "did a few naughty things" such as stealing. He did a job that went wrong and Mitchell took the blame. Demba added that his character "ran off to uni" to lead a different life.[101] Slade said of the character: "He's earned himself a reputation as the Mr Nice Guy of the halls, who, if he were any more laid back, would be horizontal."[101] Entertainment website Digital Spy ran a poll to find out which student was the most popular with viewers. Scott came third with 14.1% of the vote.[102]
Scott arrives at HCC and greets his hall share students Will Savage (James Atherton), Barney, Annalise and Rob. Scott starts helping Rob to plan his anniversary with Annalise. He makes some invitations for the party, which Rob pretends he made to impress Annalise. She realises that Scott has been helping Rob and the two bond. He tells Annalise that Rob does not treat her right. When Annalise faces more problems in her relationship, she nearly kisses Scott. Scott and Annalise's feeling for each other grow and he tells her that she needs to decide between himself and Rob. Annalise tells Rob that she does not want to be with him anymore, but decides that she would like to stay single. Scott decides to give Annalise some time, but she later sleeps with Joel Dexter (Andrew Still). When Scott attempts to discuss the situation with Annalise, she tells him it will have to wait.
Scott goes to spend a university break at home and Barney joins him. Scott's grandmother Mags (Barbara Young) tells Scott he should repair his broken friendship with Mitchell (Jack Bence). Scott tells Barney that Mitchell went to prison for committing a crime he was meant to help with. As a result, Mitchell does not want to speak to Scott. Mags convinces him to fight Mitchell in a boxing match and as a result they make friends. He returns home to find that Mags has died. At her funeral, Annalise arrives and tells Scott that she wants to be with him. They conduct their relationship in secret but Rob's friend, Wardy (Karl James Wilson) sees them kissing and records them. Wardy shows Rob who decides to accept that Annalise has moved on.
Scott continues to date Annalise and in the summer the group decide to look for new accommodation. Scott puts a deposit down for a house but doesn't realise the ad is false and all the students money is lost to the frauds, which results in everyone getting angry at Scott. He finds cheap accommodation for himself and Annalise to live in for a few weeks but she admits she isn't ready to live with him so they decide to break up. He manages to pay back the rest of the students their deposit money. It is then revealed that Scott failed his first year of university and so he decides to leave and go travelling.

Annalise Appleton, played by Tamaryn Payne, debuted on-screen on 26 September 2011. The character was introduced as one of five new students who arrive to study at Hollyoaks Community College. Payne said her audition for the serial was the first time she attempted to get into television. She said the whole experience had been "amazing".[103] Entertainment website Digital Spy first announced the character of Annalise on 5 September 2011.[92] The Hollyoaks press office said that the students are "possibly the coolest set" to ever feature in the serial because they "shake things up" and face "life's hardest lessons". Their fresher's week branded the "most fun and cringe-worthy" one ever.[93] Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly later announced Annalise would depart the serial on 18 February 2013.[104]
| “ | Annalise's flatmates are her worst nightmare and 7 people living in halls is never going to guarantee you all get along. She's OCD and a bit of a princess but if anything she just mothers them all and most of them welcome that. Annalise is there to use everything the uni offers and get the most out of her experience and not on a social level which means she often clashes with her housemates. | ” | |
| — Payne on Annalise.[94] | |||
E4.com describe Annalise as "the ultimate perfectionist" who likes to keep "calm organised and under (her) control".[105] Payne said that Annalise does not give herself a break because "she puts a lot of pressure on herself to be running every aspect of her life." Annalise's persona formed through the actions of her family. Her sister was a "slacker" and the pressure is on Annalise to do well. Payne said Annalise has cleaning obsession and a "real clean freak around halls". She does this to please others because she feels insecure. While she is good at heart, Annalise is perceived by others to be a "little irritating". Payne opined that viewer could empathise with Annalise because they could have experienced a person at university who acts "grown-up". Annalise likes to mother the other students, a quality Payne said certain females will recognise in themselves. Annalise studies public relations while at HCC, she would likes royalty and wants "be a part of that lifestyle and to be associated with those people".[106]
Annalise arrives in Hollyoaks with her boyfriend Rob Edwards (David Atkins). Payne said that Annalise is "trying to mould him into her perfect man, but I don’t think she's succeeding very well." Annalise tries to control Rob but she does not want to push him away. Rob enjoys socialising, so she keeps him on "a bit of a leash" and tries to make him happy at the same time. She added that for Annalise, the situation proves to be "a bit of a struggle".[106] Atkins said the only reason his character Rob goes to university is because of Annalise's controlling. Rob also has a sensitive side that he initially only shares with Annalise. Atkins opined that their relationship is a realistic portrayal of those in relationships while studying at university.[107]
Annalise arrives at HCC with Rob and meets her flat share students Scott Sabeka (Calvin Denba), Will Savage (James Atherton) and Barney Harper-McBride (Tom Scurr). Annalise becomes annoyed with Rob when he dares Ash Kane (Holly Weston) to trip off in front of the crowd in the SU Bar.

Rob forgets about his two-year anniversary with Annalise, he offers to make it up to her by allowing her to organise a party at the SU Bar. Annalise is happy to do so and becomes fixated on making the party run smoothly. Annalise asks Rob to make some invitations for the party, when she receives them she realises that Scott has actually made them. She bonds with Scott who tells her that Rob is treating her unfairly.

She decides to go to a party to gain some male attention. She meets Joel Dexter (Andrew Still), who accuses her of being uptight. She then has sex with him and reveals that it is the first time she has had a one-night stand. Her and Scott finally unite in April 2012 when Ash convinces her to admit her true feelings. Soon after all the students move out of HCC halls and Annalise and Scott get a flat together, however after realising they wouldn't work out Scott left alone for Thailand.

Robert "Rob" Edwards, played by David Atkins, debuted on-screen on 26 September 2011. The character was introduced as one of five new students who arrive to study at Hollyoaks Community College. Entertainment website Digital Spy first announced the character of Rob on 5 September 2011.[92] A Hollyoaks spokesperson said that the students are "possibly the coolest set" to ever feature in the serial because they "shake things up" and face "life's hardest lessons". Their fresher's week branded the "most fun and cringe-worthy" one ever.[93] Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly later announced Rob would depart the serial on 18 February 2013.[104]
Rob was initially billed as a "sporty jock",[93] while E4.com have described him as having three passions: his girlfriend Annalise Appleton (Tamaryn Payne), "sport and partying". Rob is "sociable", likes "the blokey camaraderie of team sports" and "drunken banter". Through his social activities, Rob has gained a large number of "drinking buddies" and gained a "party boy reputation", though Annalise does not approve. Rob sees university as a chance to carry on partying.[108]
Atkins has said that Rob is "a bit of a jock" who loves going out with "the lads" to talk about rugby. Rob definitely wants to go "on a three-year bender" when he arrives at HCC. Rob's girlfriend, Annalise, often organises Rob's life. Atkins said that she is "quite controlling" and the only reason Rob is at university.[107] Rob does have a sensitive side when it comes to Annalise because "as soon as he knows he's done wrong he tries to make up for it." Atkins said there is potential to see trouble between the couple because "it is like any relationship". Rob and Annalise are at university in a "coming-of-age" situation. While their relationship is "good", it becomes "quite restricting" for Rob. Atkins said they need to give each other more space, but living in the same halls "makes it difficult". Atkins opined that their relationship is a realistic portrayal of those in relationships while studying at university. He also added that the situations that Rob gets into should be easy to relate to by any first-year student.[107] Atkins later gave advice to the National Union of Students; he said that Rob "immediately signed up for the rugby team and spent most of his time in the SU bar." Atkins added that Rob's technique is a great way for any student to be "involved with the University spirit".[94]
In November 2011, it was announced that Rob would be involved in a storyline in which he is run over by Ethan Scott (Craig Vye), who is using his mobile phone while driving.[109] The storyline was to highlight the danger of text messaging while driving, making light of the fact that doing so increases the risk of a car accident by "23 times". Hollyoaks partnered with the independent road safety charity Brake for the storyline, which helped launch "Road Safety Week". The charity's director, Julie Townsend, said that "too many young lives are lost and ruined through road crashes". They added that it was important for television programmes such as Hollyoaks to highlight "appalling consequences of crashes".[109] While the Hollyoaks press office said "Ethan realises the enormity of his actions. He shouldn’t have been texting while driving and he knows he could very well lose his job."[110] On screen, the storyline plays out when Ethan is texting Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) and Liberty Savage (Abi Phillips) while driving. Ethan is not keeping an eye on the road and Rob steps out and Ethan accidentally run him over. The serial remained secretive about whether or not Rob survives the accident.[109]
Calvin Denba, who plays Scott Sabeka, told Impact Magazine's writer that his character becomes friends with Rob and feeds off his energy, although, Scott and Annalise would form a bond behind Rob's back, creating a love triangle scenario between the characters.[100] Annalise later ends their relationship and they both try to move on. While Annalise surrounds herself with her studies, Rob goes out drinking and chasing females. Rob attempts to seduce Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter), the ex-girlfriend of Will Savage (James Atherton). The move causes trouble with Will, whom he has struck up a friendship with.[111] Atherton told Alison Slade from TVTimes that tensions arise from how they both fare on the rugby team. He explained that Rob "has never really recovered" from his leg injury sustained as a result of being run over. Will continues to progress in the team, which sparks an "element of jealousy" from Rob, who feels as though Will has taken his place. Rob then flirts with Theresa; Atherton said that Rob breaks the "mates code" and "it all kicks off" leading to a scuffle.[111] Rob then sleeps with Will's sister, Liberty Savage (Abi Phillips) which causes more trouble. Will and Barney Harper-McBride (Tom Scurr) stage an intervention and tie Rob to a chair; Atherton added that is in order to "make him get in touch with his feelings, he admits how he really feels about Annalise, and realises that he's been an idiot."[111]
Rob arrives at HCC with Annalise and meets his flat mates Barney, Will and Scott. Rob dares Ash Kane (Holly Weston) to trip off in front of the crowd in the SU Bar, which annoys Annalise. Rob and Will join the university rugby team and he repeatedly goes out drinking with his new friends. He forgets to keep his plans with Annalise and she tires of his partying. They argue and she forces him to sleep on the sofa; they later make up. Rob forgets about his two-year anniversary with Annalise, but Scott offers to help out with invitations. Rob later goes out to a rugby match instead of having a drink with Annalise and, after a talk with Scott, Annalise rings Rob to discuss their relationship. As he heads to meet her, he is accidentally run over by Ethan, who drives away after hitting him. Jacqui McQueen (Claire Cooper) then discovers him and thinks he's drunk until she discovers blood near his head. She then phones for an ambulance as Ethan and Theresa looks on. Ethan later hands himself in and Rob recovers.
Rob fails to make the rugby team due to his injuries having an effect on his performance. Annalise grows close to Scott and decides to end her relationship with Rob. He pretends to be okay about their break-up and starts going out more. He throws himself at girls and causes tension in the halls. When he sleeps with Liberty, Will becomes angry and the rest of the students stage an intervention to curb his behaviour. He later argues with Annalise when she sleeps with Joel Dexter (Andrew Still) because he thought they may get back together. Rob begins seeing Texas Longford (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove) but soon realises she is only trying to make Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) jealous. Rob later sleeps with Theresa despite her being in a relationship with Joel. He attacks Rob when he learns the truth. He starts a slight rivalry with Liam Gilmore (James Farrar), but they later become friends. Rob later goes into business with Cheryl Brady by acting as a suitor. However, Rob sleeps with the clients and she is accused of soliciting prostitution. Cheryl finishes the business and Annalise returns, announcing that she is leaving for London. They have sex and they reconcile. Rob and Annalise leave for London.

Daytona Lights are a real world five piece indie band that are introduced to Hollyoaks, with all members playing partially fictional versions of themselves.[112] The characters were billed as "cool characters who provide an authentic youth story and can rock out the SU Bar."[113]
The band's arrival was announced in September 2011. The band consists of lead singer Danny Lawrence and fellow members Laurence Saywood, Louis Souyave, Matt Gill, Sam Fordham. Lawrence said his band's inclusion was a "great opportunity" for his band to promote their music out to a "mass audience" because "that's what every musician wants". He also said his bandmates were enjoying the lifestyle Hollyoaks had to offer. Three of the band's members met while studying at a drama school in Hackney.[112] Prior to their involvement with the serial, Daytona Lights were signed to a Hubris Records, a small record label which is headed by Steve Levine. Levine wanted to find a platform to promote the band on. British actor Stephen Fry introduced Levine to the Audio Network, a music library which offers commercial television low price and license free music. At the same time one of Hollyoaks' producers, Tony Wood was using the music from the library as he wanted the serial to gain a more "cool and indie" image. When Wood visited the band, he and Levine decided to work on joint venture to include the band in Hollyoaks for a promotional push on both parts.[113] Wood also wanted to bring a real band into the serial as opposed to a fictional one.[114]
Wood said their inclusion shows another example of Hollyoaks having more layers than just storyline. As the serial features popular culture and has a specific target audience, Wood felt that Daytona Lights are characters that are "aspirational, fun and who they could relate to."[113] The band will be "softly" introduced during October and a slow build in storylines will progress.[113] The members will debut onscreen separately and eventually form a band, Levine explained that "the concept is as you would have in real life where you come across a real band." Daytona Lights will be seen rehearsing and perform sound checks, while the Hollyoaks students drink in the SU Bar.[114] Over their duration, the band's music will be made available for download and some tracks given to viewers for free.[113] Their story arc culminated during a "big" storyline airing during a New Year's Eve episode. While off-screen Daytona Lights planned to release their first studio album.[113][114]
In March 2012, it was announced thart Daytona Lights would return to the series.[115] The band filmed scenes at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire. Rebecca Wade who works for the aquarium, told Laurie Stocks-Moore of the Ellesmere Port Pioneer that the band had filmed at a number of locations in the attraction, but said the storyline had to remain a secret.[116] The regular characters of Dodger (Danny Mac), Liberty (Abi Phillips) and Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) also took part in the scenes;[116] which aired later in 2012.[115]
Caroline Fitton of the Daily Mail was not a fan of the group. When they were signed to a record label; she said that the likes of JLS and One Direction "needn’t lose any sleep" over competition.[117]
Laurence and Louis arrive in the village with Kelly Saunders (Danielle Malone), while she meets up with Duncan Button (Dean Aspen). Duncan thinks that Kelly is attracted to Laurence and Louis, unaware they are trying to pair Kelly off with Duncan. Danny and Sam arrive as friends of Ash Kane (Holly Weston) and perform at the S.U. Bar, while Matt turns up working as a bouncer at the venue. Sam meets Michaela McQueen (Hollie Jay Bowes) and they start dating. Louis and Laurence secure a spot singing in the SU Bar, after an argument Laurence refuses to join in. Leanne Holiday (Jessica Forrest) tries to sort out their differences and they perform as planned. When Louis snubs Leanne's advances, Michaela tries to set Leanne up with Danny so she can spend more time with Sam. He shows no interest in her so Michaela tries to set her up with Matt. She starts following Matt around thinking he likes her.
Michaela asks Sam, Danny, Louis and Laurence if they can form a band. However, they are not impressed with Michaela's vocals. They remove Michaela from the band which makes her dump Sam. They invite Matt to join as their drummer and Sam reconciles with Michaela. Laurence and Louis move in with Frankie Osborne (Helen Pearson) and Ruby Button (Anna Shaffer) plants stolen money on them. They forgive her when she tells Frankie the truth. Michaela tells Sam that a scout is going to visit the band's performance at the SU Bar. They nearly mess their performance up after a technical fault and think that the scout did not show. Michaela uploads video footage of the performance and sends it to the scout. Louis reveals that they have been offered a developmental contract in London. The band then leave to start a new life in London.
Michaela and Leanne go to Sheffield to film an online video of their tour. Leanne starts following Matt around again and he tells her to stop. Sam then tells Michaela that he is not interested in getting back with her. The gig is cancelled and Dennis finds them an alternative venue.

Dennis Archibald Savage, played by Joe Tracini arrives on-screen on 15 November 2011. Tracini's casting was first publicised in July 2011, when his father, comedian Joe Pasquale, told the Cornish Guardian of his involvement.[118] Entertainment website Digital Spy later confirmed the casting and revealed that Dennis is a new member of the already established Savage family. Tracini revealed via his Twitter account that he began filming in August and also filmed a spot in the Hollyoaks opening titles. A spokesperson refused to release any advance storyline information about Dennis, but stated that Tracini has "great comic timing" for the role.[119]
The Daily Mail later revealed that the serial had introduced Dennis to fill the void left by Alex Carter's departure as Lee Hunter. Like Lee, Dennis is planned to take on comedic storylines. Dennis has been described as a "comedy character" helped on by the fact Tracini is a "great comedy actor".[120] Soap opera magazine Inside Soap later revealed Dennis' relation to the rest of the Savage family, as being a cousin of Liberty (Abi Phillips), Dodger (Danny Mac) and Will Savage (James Atherton).[121] Dodger is not pleased to see his cousin and does not want him living in his caravan. Dodger convinces Texas Longford (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove) and Leanne Holiday (Jessica Forrest) to let Dennis move in with them. Digital Spy said Dennis arrives being "confident and full of beans" and said he looks likely to "cause a stir".[122]
In January 2012, series producer Emma Smithwick told Inside Soap that Dennis would be leaving for a small period of time. Smithwick said that on his return, she see Dennis and his family "having a bigger place in Hollyoaks". She also revealed that she couldn't get enough of Tracini because of the "charisma and great comic timing" he brings to the role.[123] Tracini told Inside Soap that Dennis temporary exit storyline begins when he receives an offer for a two-month work placement in India. As Dennis is "quite taken" with Leanne he decides to let her know in case she wants him to stay. Tracini said that Leanne has been "using" Dennis to make Matt jealous. Leanne is "forced to admit facts and Dennis doesn't take the revelation too well".[124] Kate White from Inside Soap said that Dennis had "injected originality, laughs and much-needed kookiness back into the show". White said that she could not wait until Dennis was back on-screen making "his next move".[125] For his portrayal of Dennis, Tracini earned a nomination for "Best Comedy Performance" at the 2012 British Soap Awards.[126] Tracini was later nominated for "Funniest Male" at the 2012 Inside Soap Awards.[127]
On 24 April 2014, it was announced that Tracini had quit the show. Dennis's departure aired on 21 November 2014.[128]

Dodger tells Dennis he cannot live with them and convinces Texas to let him move into her flat. Dennis is delighted to discover that Leanne also lives there. Dennis becomes disgruntled when Leanne show more interest in Matt Gill, but still comforts her when Matt tells Leanne to keep her distance. Dennis waits for Leanne to return home from her Christmas break. When she returns he gives her intimate lingerie. Leanne feels uncomfortable because he knows what size underwear she takes. Dennis refuses to believe that Leanne does not want him. Dennis receives a job offer in Mumbai, Dodger tries to convince him to take the job regardless of Leanne. Dennis chooses not to listen, Dodger convinces Leanne to tell Dennis she is not interested. Texas and Leanne throw Dennis a leaving party and he goes to Mumbai.
Upon his return Dennis reveals that could not go to Mumbai due to his fear of flying. He stayed in a bed and breakfast and lost his job, so Dodger hires him to work in the SU Bar.

Jodie Wilde, played by Montana Manning, arrived on-screen during the episode airing on 19 December 2011.[129] A spokesperson for the serial said that "Jodie is ambitious to a fault - she'll allow nothing to stand in the way of her dreams to be a dancer. Let's hope she's not setting herself up for a fall." In her early appearances she shared scenes with fellow characters Doug Carter (PJ Brennan) and Dodger Savage (Danny Mac).[129]
| “ | Beautiful, hot-blooded Jodie knows how to turn all the boys heads. Confident and sexy Jodie has already managed to catch the attention of Doug and Dodger. Jodie is a straight-talking girl - and we're sure that while she's studying at HCC University she'll be causing a stir... | ” | |
| — E4 on Jodie.[130] | |||
Manning said that Jodie is "different" to most females because she can "switch on and off", which makes her popular with men as she sets their "hearts racing". Jodie has a keen interest in performing arts; she views love as a "fool's game" and prefers to conform to a "treat em' mean and keep em' keen" attitude.[131] Manning said that Jodie's attitude is strong enough to cause conflict with other female characters. Dodger's attraction to Jodie puts her in the firing line of the serial's jealous females. Initially describing her future hopes for the "likeable" Jodie, Manning stated; "I hope she has some gritty storylines, I think there is a lot behind her confidence and flirty eyes that she keeps hidden."[131] Manning, a former singer, said that she did not want to portray Jodie singing because she wanted to keep her acting and singing career separate. She added that she shares Jodie's "drive" because she too is " very ambitious".[132]
A columnist for Soaplife commented on Jodie's promiscuity. They opined that "lucky" Jodie had "barely been in Hollyoaks for five minutes" before she managed to get Dodger's "kit off". When Jodie kisses Texas Longford (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove), they jested that they were not sure who was more surprised out of Texas and Dodger.[133] While a columnist for All About Soap also judged "sexy" Jodie's early appearances. They said that Jodie had managed to get all of "the men in Hollyoaks in a spin" and that "the girls can't seem to resist her ample charm either". They said she has no class because she has sex in a caravan. Their conclusion on Jodie left them undecided as to whether Jodie is the type of character to "fancy anything with a pulse" or out to "stir up trouble between every couple in town".[134]
In May 2012, Manning announced via her Twitter account that she had left the series. The actress thanked everyone who supported Jodie's storyline with Texas and described her time on the show as "fun".[135] In August 2012, series producer Emma Smithwick told Digital Spy's Kilkelly that it was always planned that Jodie would depart the series because Texas and Dodger were "the main story".[136] She explained that Jodie is a character who brought challenge to Dodger and Texas' lives and "turned the heads" of two people who thought that they were comfortable with who they were. But Jodie "ultimately reaffirmed what they both liked about each other". They used Jodie and a "detour" and Smithwick stressed that Jodie and Texas was never intended to be a lesbian storyline - rather about Jodie being pansexual and liking a person regardless of their gender.[136]
Jodie arrives to meet her friend Texas, who introduces her to Doug. Jodie agrees to meet up with Doug again for a drink. Doug presumes they are on a date and when it becomes clear he is not over his ex-girlfriend, Jodie tells him she is not interested in him romantically. Jodie then sleeps with Dodger who is surprised at her willingness to have a one-night stand. Jodie also makes friends with Amy Barnes (Ashley Slanina-Davies) and Michaela McQueen (Hollie-Jay Bowes), who initially takes a disliking to Jodie. Jodie and Dodger begin to flirt again but she rebuffs Dodger's advances. Jodie and Dodger sleep together again and Jodie admits that it meant something to her. She tells Texas she that she can do better than Dodger. When both Dodger and Doug compete for her affections, she arranges a night out with them and invites Texas. While both men wait, Texas tells Jodie that she should chose which one she wants, Jodie agrees and grabs Texas and kisses her, who reciprocates.
Jodie senses that Texas is awkward around her and tries to resolve the situation. Texas tells her that she is straight and does not appreciate Jodie using her to make Dodger jealous. Jodie tells Texas that she actually likes her. Jodie enlists Texas and Dodger to help on her dance assignment. When Texas turns out to be a bad dancer, she asks Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) to take her place. Texas becomes jealous and gets drunk, Jodie helps her into bed and they lean in for a kiss. Waking up together the next morning, Jodie tells a relieved Texas that they did nothing sexual. Jodie helps Texas out on her photography course work and fails her own assignment. On a night out, Texas becomes jealous of Jodie, who is flirting with Theresa. Texas kisses Jodie, but the following day Texas will not talk about their encounter. Texas later decides to start a relationship with Jodie, but then becomes confused about Dodger once again and dumps Jodie, but they agree to remain friends.
