“It couldn’t be a more perfect time for Sienna.”

Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks star Anna Passey has revealed a little bit more about Dodger Savage’s upcoming return.

It was recently announced that fan-favourite Danny Mac would be reprising his role as Sienna Blake’s brother, in the middle of an explosive storyline for the family.

Sienna has been released from prison thanks to dad Jez, but half the village still think she killed Ethan Williams on their wedding day.

Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, Passey said: “I am utterly thrilled Dodger and Danny Mac are back on the scene.

“When we first see Dodger on our screens again, it couldn’t be a more perfect time for Sienna – she’s at a moment where she absolutely needs a lifeline, then the heavens send her twin back!

“Sienna and Dodger obviously have a complicated past, but out of everyone in the entire world, he is the person that she can trust more than anybody – and now is the time she needs him the most…”

Mac himself spoke about his return last month, stating: “After a decade away, I’m thrilled to be returning and reuniting with my incredible co-stars, old friends and a character very close to my heart.

“Dodger escaped, leaving a great deal behind. I’ve always wondered whether he could return and who he might have become in the 10 years since he ran away.

“Now that he’s back, there’s a lot to uncover, but one way or another, we will finally find out.”

Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.
