Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks star Suzanne Hall has hinted at changes to her character Suzanne Ashworth ahead of her upcoming return to the soap.

Suzanne will be back in the village next week following the recent arrival of her daughter Hannah – who reunited with her ex-husband Darren Osborne earlier this week (January 18).

Speaking to Inside Soap, Hall revealed that Suzanne has matured since her last appearance on the soap 12 years ago.

“She was having a pretty difficult time in her love life. Neville [Ashworth, Suzanne’s ex-husband] was too boring and she craves excitement and wants to relive her youth,” she explained.

“Suzanne says after 20 years with him it was exciting to do the laundry! Frankie [Osborne, her daughter] is a handful, so Suzanne drinks more than she should.

Hall continued: “Suzanne used to be quite strict, but has become more relaxed and easy-going – perhaps a little too much when it comes to raising the twins!”

The actress further teased the “high drama” and “darkness” that awaits the Ashworth family, adding: “As with any soap, there will be moments of laughter and levity to balance out the darker things.”

Darren finds himself in a difficult situation when his former mother-in-law ends up on his doorstep. The couple notably had an affair, with Suzanne subsequently giving birth to Darren's twins before fleeing to Spain.

Ahead of her return, Hall previously shared her excitement about reuniting with Darren actor Ashley Taylor Dawson and Emma Rigby, who plays Hannah.

“I’m thrilled to be returning as Suzanne and working with Ashley and Emma,” she said. “In true Hollyoaks style, there’s so much happening, lots of twists and, as always, there’s a huge plot ahead.”

The story goes on

Hollyoaks is initially streamed online on Channel 4 every weekday at 7.30pm. The episodes will then air on E4 the next day before premiering on YouTube a week later.
