Louise Summers

Rob Owen

Robert "Rob" Owen is a fictional character from the long-running Channel 4 soap opera '' Hollyoaks'', played by David Prosho between 2005 and 2006.

He is Carrie Owen's estranged husband. He recently returned after finding out about his son Russ Owen's cancer. Originally ostracized from the family because he refused to believe his other son Sam Owen's innocence when he was imprisoned, Rob returned after Russ warned him that he could be at risk from cancer, and after his daughter Nicole Owen begged him to stay. Rob's return almost split the family again as Sam refused to accept him at first. He was forced to change his mind after Rob rescued him on a climbing trip when Sam was unable to scale the rock face on his own. When Sam realised that Rob did care for him after all, he eventually forgave him.

After Sam confessed that he had been spiking and raping girls, Rob tried to help him run away by buying him a plane ticket. This caused a bit of tension between him and Carrie. After consoling with the family, Rob, Carrie, Nicole and Russ forced Sam to turn himself in to the police and he was sentenced for 25 years. Six months down the line, Sam escaped from prison and this time the effects were to be horrendous. He burnt down the local pub The Dog in The Pond which left several people dead (including Sam himself). After Nicole was bullied at school and the Owen family receiving abuse from the minority residents of Hollyoaks, Carrie decided it was the best for her and her family to move away from Hollyoaks. Rob, Carrie and Nicole left the village behind whilst Russ stayed in Hollyoaks, to be with his wife Mercedes McQueen.

Jeremy Peterson

Stephen "Macki" Mackintosh

Stephen "Macki" Mackintosh was a friend of Justin Burton. The two met when Justin was troubled and began buying marijuana off Macki. Soon Justin was forced to go to boot camp and sorted out his life. When Justin returned to town, Macki frequently distracted Justin and wanted him to come back to his old ways. However, Justin wanted to avoid Macki and hang around with his stepbrother Ali Taylor and friend Nicole Owen. An embittered Macki made Ali's life a misery by calling him "monkey boy" and other racist taunts, and he framed Justin for a fire started in the science lab at the school. However, after finding evidence against Macki, Justin managed to get him expelled.

Both Ali and Justin thought their troubles were over, until next term as Macki returned to school and wanted revenge. The bullying got worse and both Ali and Justin were beaten up by Macki and his friends. Ali eventually had enough of the bullying and went after him with a knife that his father, Richard, had confiscated from Justin (who got the knife to defend himself against Macki). When Ali found Macki, Macki challenged him to a one-on-one fight and led him to a quiet spot; whilst Ali's back was turned, Macki picked up a brick.

Justin, who had realised the knife was missing, found Ali just in time to see Macki with the brick. He called out to Ali, who then turned around and stabbed Macki. Ali dropped the knife and Justin told him he'd sort it all out and told Ali to go home. Ali then ran out into the road and was hit by a car. Justin hid the knife in the hospital toilets. Meanwhile, both Macki and Ali died of their injuries. A few days later, Justin went back for the knife but the police had already found it and were waiting for Justin to show up. Justin was then arrested for Macki's murder but was later found not guilty.

Nancy Hayton

Charles Hayton

Charles Hayton was the father of Becca and Nancy Hayton. Charles and his wife Margaret Hayton were wealthy and seen as snobbish by Jake Dean and the Dean family. When Charles first met Jake, he was in garden clothes, and Jake, assuming he was the gardener, proceeded to tell him all about how humourless and stuck up Charles was. His mother Frankie Osborne, her son Craig Dean, and her daughter Steph Dean dropped in for an unplanned visit, and a drunken Frankie told the Haytons all about Jake's affair and his giving an STI to Becca. The families also clashed over wedding preparations and cost. In spite of this turmoil, Charles and Margaret attended Becca's wedding and wished her well.

Charles suffered a heart attack in early 2006 and Becca went to visit him during his recuperation. During another visit a few months later, she was in the midst of an affair with Justin Burton and wasn't actually there when Charles suddenly died.

Margaret Hayton

Margaret Hayton is the mother of Becca (Ali Bastian) and Nancy Hayton ( Jessica Fox). Margaret and her husband Charles Hayton were wealthy and had some reservations about Becca's relationship with Jake Dean ( Kevin Sacre), but attended their wedding. Charles suffered a heart attack the following year, and died a few months later. Margaret returned in October 2006 when she learned Becca was engaged to a much younger Justin Burton ( Chris Fountain). Margaret was extremely apprehensive about the relationship, along with Nancy's relationship with a tattoo artist, but went along with what Becca and Nancy wanted. Over the course of the next year, Becca gave birth to her and Justin's son Charlie Dean, who was thought to be Jake's child, and was sent to prison and stabbed to death. When Margaret returned the next summer, she was surprised to see Nancy, who was raising Charlie, had taken up with Jake. She wanted to take Charlie to raise for herself, but Jake and Nancy refused. Margaret told Nancy she would never be as good as Becca, no matter how much she tried.

In February 2012, Margaret turns up out of the blue, and she is not pleased about Nancy's relationship with Darren Osborne ( Ashley Taylor Dawson), and when Nancy thinks Darren is having an affair with Cindy Cunningham ( Stephanie Waring), Margaret convinces Nancy to go and live in Canada with her once they have laid flowers on Becca's grave on Valentine's Day, the anniversary of her death, which is also the day Darren has arranged a surprise wedding for Nancy. Nancy marries Darren and decides to stay in Hollyoaks and Margaret returns to Canada alone. In June 2013, it is revealed Margaret has been killed in a car accident so Nancy flies out to Canada to make funeral arrangements.

Bill Ashworth

Bill Ashworth was the father of Noel and Neville Ashworth. He was a retired bus driver and army veteran but despite his leaning towards military precision in all things, he never lost his sense of fun. With an eye for the ladies, he was not ready to settle into old age. Bill was a gambler and ran a book on any subject. He lived at a nursing home and often visited his family during Christmas holidays. However, when his best friend at the home died, Bill felt lonely and wanted to move in with his family. It was left up to his grandson Josh Ashworth and his cousin Jamie "Fletch" Fletcher to help Bill out of the nursing home and moved him into the Ashworths' house. With much dispute between Suzanne Ashworth and his son Neville Ashworth, they decided to let Bill stay after the children received a pay off from Bill in convincing their parents to let him stay. Often Bill made a mess around the house, which left Suzanne frustrated but Bill decided to give something back to the family in exchange for letting him stay. When Neville was sacked from his job, Bill gave him his inheritance which helped Neville to buy Drive and Buy. Also, the children received their inheritance as well, which was tied up into the family business.

Bill was last seen at his daughter Hannah Ashworth's 18th birthday in 2007 and for unexplained reasons did not attend his grandson and Suzanne's son Rhys Ashworth's funeral in 2012.

Rory

Rory was an Irish Traveller whose caravan briefly set up a home in Chester near Tony Hutchinson's restaurant, Il Gnosh. Tony was furious at them for being what he saw as low class and driving down his business. He clashed with Rory and his brother Connor, as well as their dog Sheba. Rory also had a brief flirtation with Zara Morgan. He confided in her that he and Connor were staying because their mother was battling cancer in a local hospital. When Zara told this to Tony's wife Mandy, and Rory helped stop a robbery at Il Gnosh, Tony mended fences, somewhat, with Rory. Conor and Rory's mother's cancer went into remission and she asked to return to Ireland, which they did.

Connor

Connor was Rory's younger brother. He punched Tony when Tony threatened Rory. He also befriended Nicole Owen and kissed her on her birthday, much to her mother's displeasure. Nicole wanted to have her first time with Connor, but Connor realised she wasn't ready for sex. He was willing to try, but she ran out of the flat in shame. The next day, she wanted to start over, but he told her he was moving back to Ireland with his brother and mother. Just before he left, he kissed Nicole and told her he'd always love her.

Freddy Watson

Freddy Watson studied English literature at HCC and was an animal rights campaigner. He arrived in 2005 and had a less than secret admirer in Zara Morgan, an avid protester against anything and everything. She didn't realise he was using her to get revenge against HCC for animal rights.

Freddy also conspired with Chris to depose Lee Hunter from his presidency, but this backfired when Zara told the student council about the plot, and Freddy's involvement with the HCC Media Lab Fire in December 2005.

Freddy was not seen again, but it would appear that along with Zara and Lee, he and Chris were kicked out of HCC.

Presley Dean

Presley Dean is the illegitimate son of Johnno Dean and Michelle Dean. Johnno briefly walked out of the family home to be with his wife Frankie Osborne and their children Jake, Craig, Steph and Debbie Dean, but returned after they were disgusted with his behaviour. Johnno and Michelle married shortly afterwards when Johnno's divorce from Frankie was finalised.

In 2006, Steph went to visit to take care of him as Johnno and Michelle went for their vacation.

In 2017, when Johnno returned briefly to the village, he mentioned to Frankie that he was no longer with Michelle, and that the 12-year-old Presley was living with him, although the circumstances behind this were not explained.

Chris Fenwick

Christopher "Chris" Fenwick is the former head of the entertainment committee and editor of the newspaper at Hollyoaks Community College, losing his position to Lee Hunter in an election. Chris pretended not to care about losing and asked if he could be Lee's vice president.

Little did Lee know that Chris was manipulating him into spending more money than what was in the college funds. Lee's friend David "Bombhead" Burke found out what Chris was doing but when he tried to tell Lee, Lee wouldn't believe him.

Chris then told Lee about the missing money and blamed Bombhead, which caused Lee and Bombhead to have a massive falling out. Chris then conspired with Freddy Watson, who set fire to the HCC's media lab for an animal rights demonstration and tried to pin the fire on Lee. But Lee's friend and Freddy's girlfriend Zara Morgan told people what had really happened and the truth finally came out. Lee punched Chris saying, "This is for Bombhead".

It appears that Chris was kicked out of college along with Freddy, Zara and Lee.

Ally Harrison

Ally Harrison was a girl Lisa Hunter met while they were both trying to get the same item exchanged. They bonded over boyfriend troubles. Ally invited Lisa and Ben Davies to lunch, where they met Alex. Lisa and Ben assumed he was another of Ally's boyfriends, due to their close bond and the fact that they lived together, but they were actually brother and sister. Ben began to suspect Ally was trying to seduce Lisa. The foursome partied during '' Hollyoaks: Crossing The Line'', and Ben worried Alex and Ally would want more than just friendship, but nothing came of it. Ben and Lisa temporarily stayed at Ally's new flat when they had nowhere else to go. Ally's further adventures were chronicled in '' Hollyoaks: Let Loose''.

Andy Holt

Karen Taylor

Karen Taylor was married to Richard, a marriage which produced Ali, Darlene, and two younger children, Ethan and Georgina. Their marriage broke up due to his affair with Liz Burton. Ali was run over after fleeing from the scene of Macki's stabbing, and Karen attended his funeral. Justin, who had been arrested for the murder, unexpectedly showed up; during an argument with Karen, he told everyone what Ali had done. Karen refused to believe him and returned home.

Dominic Reilly

Hannah Ashworth

Wayne Tunnicliffe

Wayne Tunnicliffe first appeared as one of Ste Hay's friends. Ste was interested in Amy Barnes, while Wayne dated Michaela McQueen. Wayne was only interested in her because she was "easy" and after a few months he dumped her via text message.

Wayne and Ste befriended Josh Ashworth and his cousin Fletch to get close to Josh's sister Hannah Ashworth (they gave up because Hannah was always out with friends). A nastier moment arrived when Ste and Wayne began bullying Nicole Owen after her brother Sam blew up the Dog in the Pond. They eventually pretended to care about her, taking her to the woods, getting her drunk, and planning to rape her. She threw herself on the ground, sobbing and telling them to get on with it, and they left her alone.

Ste was sent to a juvenile detention facility for his part in a joyride which sent Amy to hospital. Wayne was next seen in spring 2007, hanging out with Sonny Valentine. Wayne soon discovered that his ex, Michaela, fancied Sonny so he mentioned it to Sonny, not knowing that he and Michaela were secretly going out. Wayne made fun of Michaela to Sonny behind her back and Sonny went along with it to keep their relationship a secret, but when Wayne went too far insulting Michaela, Sonny stood up to him and told him that he and Michaela were dating. Wayne also taunted her about her gay brother, John Paul McQueen, only for John Paul to grab him and threaten him into leaving Michaela alone.

Wayne began selling his little brother's ADD medication at school. Nancy Hayton, who needed pills to cope with her hectic life, began buying them. When Wayne ran out of medication, she lost her temper. Wayne promised her he would get more and he tried to ask Nancy out. Wayne got cinema tickets but Nancy ripped them up, enraged that Wayne would not get the drugs in time for her next exams.

Wayne was last seen at a house party thrown by Amy and Michaela. Wayne stole food and CDs and when Amy caught him in baby Leah's room, a drunk Wayne grabbed Leah as a hostage. Wayne's former mate Ste grabbed the baby and punched Wayne before throwing all the partygoers out of the house.

Soon after Grace's death, Mandy left Hollyoaks in the hope of moving on and subsequently left a heart-broken Tony behind, after he had told her that it was all her fault that Grace died that night.

Following her death, Grace has been mentioned several times. Tony and his girlfriend Jacqui McQueen miscarried a baby in 2007, thus reminding Tony of Grace. In 2013 whilst speaking to Sinead O'Connor he tells her about Grace and that not a day goes by that he doesn't think about her. Mandy met another man and gave birth to their daughter Ella Richardson. Tony would later have twin children with Diane O'Connor Grace appears as a vision of Tony's in Hollyoaks Later in 2013, along with Kurt Benson

Jessica Harris

Olivia Johnson

Olivia Johnson, played by Rochelle Gadd, first appeared during the episode airing on 3 October 2005. Olivia split up with her long-term boyfriend Julian before moving to Hollyoaks to study history. She found it hard to adjust to student life. She became close friends with Jessica Harris (Jennifer Biddall), but lived in her shadow as she was not as outgoing as Jessica or their new friend Steph Dean ( Carley Stenson). Olivia's closest thing to a relationship was her bond with Rhys Ashworth ( Andrew Moss), which he described as friends who sometimes have sex. She proved to be a good friend to Jessica in her relationship troubles with Mark Jury (Ash Newman) and Gilly Roach ( Anthony Quinlan), and began learning to be more assertive as she was often walked all over by others. She and Jessica did a naked protest, as they were fired from Il Gnosh by Tony Hutchinson ( Nick Pickard) when Jessica became ill from meningitis. The local newspaper came to cover the story and Olivia "accidentally" told them about Jessica playing Gilly and Mark against each other.

However, Jessica decided to forgive Olivia and the two stayed friends until Kris Fisher ( Gerard McCarthy), a new student, arrived and saw that Jessica was bossing Olivia around. Kris taught Olivia to stick up for herself and one night at The Dog in the Pond public house, she told Jessica that she wasn't going to be her slave anymore; this upset Jessica and unfortunately this was their last conversation. Sam Owen (Louis Tamone) came into the pub and set fire to it; a beam fell down onto Olivia pinning her down. Joe Spencer (Joe Milburn) came in to look for her and pulled her out, but the spirit bottles fell from the shelves and into the fire and exploded, which killed both Joe and Olivia. Olivia continued to have a presence on the show after her death. Kris used some of her diary entries to hurt Jessica soon after Olivia was killed. Her face, along with the faces of Joe and the Burton twins, were put on a mural at the centre of town. When Jessica left the village in December 2007, she took one final look at the mural.
