HOLLYOAKS - Zoe Lucker cast as new McQueen


The McQueen family are the biggest clan of Hollyoaks village, and they're expanding all the more, as Zoe Lucker, who's also been part of EastEnders, has joined the soap as the newest McQueen member.

Reenie McQueen is Porsche, Celine and Cleo's mum, and daughter of Nana.

Having already filmed her first scenes, Zoe will make her Hollyoaks debut in April - and I love her new 'Reenie' look. It's a million miles away from the blonde bombshell look of Zoe's previous roles in 'Enders, Waterloo Road and Footballers Wives.

Zoe is also thrilled at being cast in Oaks, saying:

"I am really excited to be joining Hollyoaks - especially as a McQueen! Reenie is a very complex character and will, in time, have a very interesting story to tell."

Reenie is currently in prison, and we first see her when Porsche goes to pay her a visit, before eventually joining the rest of the family in the village. 


The newset McQueen's - Porsche, Celine - who's a possible suspect in the Gloved-Hand mystery - and Cleo have been a hit.
After the exits of Carmel and Mercedes, I wasn't sure how the new girls would go down, but they've proved that the McQueen's can regenerate and go on! 

Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood previously cast Zoe in EastEnders and he's excited to be working with her again:

"I am delighted to be working again with Zöe. In my mind there was only one person to tell Reenie's important story and thankfully she was as intrigued by the character as we are. We are thrilled that Zöe will be becoming a McQueen and know that she will bring Reenie to life for our audience."

I wonder what other trouble Reenie could bring!
