Waugh: 'Hollyoaks fire will be shocking'

Hollyoaks star Bronagh Waugh has revealed that the show's upcoming fire will be "shocking".

The actress, who plays Cheryl Brady in the Channel 4 soap, told Holy Soap that the cast is currently filming the stunt and that popular characters will be killed off.

She said: "I can't say too much about it, but it's incredibly exciting. There's a lot of tense drama, and there will be some exits and deaths. We can't disclose who that's going to be, but it's going to be very shocking and saddening.

"We've been filming it at the moment. Much-loved characters are going. All of us are involved in it."

Speaking of her future on the show, she added: "I don't know how long I'll be there. That depends on the powers that be.

"But at the moment I'm really enjoying myself. I'm enjoying getting more serious storylines with Emmett Scanlan, who plays my brother Brendan. So at the moment, I'm very happy there and enjoying the direction my character is taking."

The fire begins on screen on November 5 and will continue throughout the following week with a special block of episodes.
