Barlow: 'Shock twist ahead on Hollyoaks'

Hollyoaks star Alice Barlow has revealed that there is a big storyline twist ahead for her character Rae Wilson.

The actress confirmed that a shock moment will have a massive impact on the life of her troubled alter ego, who is currently expecting a baby with boyfriend Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson).

In an interview with All About Soap, Barlow explained: "There's a shocking twist in Rae's journey, which I can't tell you about yet.

"Something will happen to her that no-one will have seen coming, and it'll change Rae's life forever."

In the meantime, Rae has other turmoil in store when she discovers Ste in a clinch with his boss Brendan Brady (Emmett Scanlan) and realises that he is gay.

Barlow said: "She dumps him straight away. He tries to win her back, but Rae has made up her mind by that point - she doesn't want him anymore. Once you've found that out about your boyfriend, there really isn't any going back. She isn't going to stick by him.

"She's still determined to keep the baby, despite everything she's been through recently. Rae wants to show everyone that she can be a good mum on her own. She's got support from her mates Amy and Gaz, so I think Rae will get through this."
