Yahoo News Hollyoaks to confirm Rex’s identity as Dave faces danger
Hollyoaks is set to reveal the identity of Rex in upcoming episodes, as Dave Williams finds himself in a tricky situation.
Played by Jonny Labey, the village newcomer arrives to work with Warren Fox, doing jobs alongside Ste Hay, but the two quickly butt heads.
Dave crosses paths with Rex when he steps in to help Hannah Ashworth, who is alarmed when she spots Rex, her former boss.

Hannah's fears for Dave's wellbeing grow when she overhears a concerned Cindy Cunningham searching for her husband. But Robbie Roscoe, who had been blackmailing Dave, stops Hannah from getting involved.
And it seems her fears were unfounded when Cindy later receives a text from Dave – but was it really him that wrote the message? Rex is remaining tight-lipped.
Rex actor Jonny, best known for starring as Paul Coker in EastEnders, previously opened up about joining Hollyoaks.

"Honestly, since I've started, there's been a stunt coordinator involved in pretty much every scene! So I feel like an evil Ryan Gosling at the minute. It feels like a part Marvel film, part soap," he told Digital Spy.
"But Hollyoaks has got that feel to it. If all the other soaps are more of a soap opera, then Hollyoaks definitely is more of a rock concert. Charlie [Clapham, who plays Freddie] said that to me and I couldn't agree more. The show is fast-paced, and there are changes and madness happening behind the scenes, but it's great on set.
"I've got a lot of scenes with Kieron [Richardson, who plays Ste] and Jamie [Lomas, who plays Warren]. I feel like I'm in really safe hands and I can have a lot of fun."
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
