We got the lowdown on Hollyoaks villain Clare Devine from two co-stars working closely with actress Gemma Bissix currently on the Channel 4 soap.

Clare made her big return months ago, as part of a dark trafficking storyline involving other characters and some of the teenagers in the village.

Clare's sister Grace black and half-brother Rex Gallagher were also caught up in the drama, with us soon learning all about Rex's past and backstory.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror , Rex actor Jonny Labey praised the move to explore what Rex faced when he was younger, and how it shaped him - leading to him taking a criminal path.

Jonny discussed how fans finally saw why he was the way he was, calling him ⁘a product of his environment⁘.

He added how Rex's ⁘unexpected⁘ romance with Ste Hay changed things, and gave Rex something to push for. That said, Jonny loves the drama his role brings, and was thrilled to get to work with co-star Gemma as she made her comeback.

⁘She is such a joy, she brings such a bouncy energy to set. She gets stuck in to storylines, she holds no prisoners, she's just a ruthless and fantastic character. It really brings in that female power character to the show.⁘

Actor Ethaniel was thrilled to rejoin the show recently, having first joined earlier in the year.

He told us: ⁘It's definitely a new experience for me. It's lovely, I've enjoyed it.

⁘It's great and I am very grateful. We've just got to see how the storyline goes!⁘ On the fans backing his character, he went on: ⁘It was lovely because to get the role was a big thing, and then it was brilliant to keep going after a few months of not working.
