Hollyoaks star James Sutton has expressed excitement over the next big storyline for the McQueen family.
Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays feisty Mercedes McQueen, recently let slip that a huge story is being planned for the popular clan - which could involve a shock stunt.
Sutton has told Digital Spy that his character John Paul will also be involved in the mystery plot.
He confirmed: "There is something huge on the horizon. I know our team are busy preparing and planning for it. I'm pretty confident it's going to be the biggest thing we've ever done here.
"There's quite a few of us involved and it's a massive, big couple of episodes. I'm chuffed to bits and I can't wait to get going on it."
Fans can expect changes ahead for the McQueen family over the next few months as newcomers Twinnie Lee Moore and Sarah George join as Myra's nieces Porsche and Celine.
Show bosses have also announced that Mercedes and Carmel (Gemma Merna) will be bowing out after eight years on screen.
Speaking about the family shake-up for the first time, Sutton commented: "It'll be a big loss to see Jen and Gemma go - they're both proven actresses and they've created very iconic characters in the show, but they're both ambitious and I know they're keen to do other stuff. I've enjoyed every minute of working with them because they're both top girls.
"I do like having new people start on the show, because it's fresh blood in the cast and it's nice to see what they bring to it. It just adds more colour, depth and flavour to what we're doing.
"We've lost people before so there's always comings and goings, but the family values and the way the McQueens interact doesn't change. You never say never and perhaps the girls could come back, but the McQueen family is a good one to be part of, regardless of who's in it."
