Yahoo News Hollyoaks casts award-winning actress Emily Burnett for Prince's return storyline
Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
BAFTA award-winning actress Emily Burnett has joined the cast of Hollyoaks as a character called Olivia.
Olivia will be a huge part of Prince McQueen's (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) return which has been confirmed for September. Olivia's first appearance will be aired on September 8 on E4.
Emily, who is probably best known for her BAFTA-winning role as Charlie in the popular CBBC series Dumping Ground, said in a statement that she's excited to "hopefully" be a member of the McQueen family – so that gives a huge hint of maybe marriage being on the cards for Prince.
"I am so excited to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks. Especially working with Malique and Chelsee and getting to (hopefully) be a member of the legendary McQueen family. What to expect from Olivia?
"Well, she's classy, very sassy and knows exactly what she wants. She is probably someone you don't want to get on the wrong side of – but I think she has a good heart deep down – especially when it comes to Prince.
"I can't wait for everyone to meet her in September."
