'Hollyoaks' Rachel Shenton teases Mitzeee, Costello revenge plot

Hollyoaks star Rachel Shenton has confirmed that her outrageous character Mitzeee Minniver will face "a constant battle with her conscience" after deciding to get revenge against the Costello family in a future storyline.

Mitzeee has a huge row with the Costellos in next week's episodes, prompting her to team up with on-off boyfriend Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) to bring the whole family down.

Warren's plan is to reveal the truth about Carl Costello's (Paul Opacic) affair with Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), knowing that the secret will cause big trouble as Carl's son Riley (Rob Norbury) is preparing to marry the wannabe WAG.

Shenton told All About Soap of Mitzeee's intentions: "She thinks the whole family are being rude and disrespectful towards her, and there's this big argument.

"After that, she decides she wants to get back at them, and so Warren suggests that the perfect way would be to reveal the truth about Mercedes and Carl's affair in her new book."



Asked whether Mitzeee is sure about the vicious plan, the actress replied: "She isn't - she has a constant battle with her conscience. She doesn't know morally whether it really is the right thing to do. It definitely isn't going to be a straightforward road for her.

"Mitzeee will keep having these second thoughts about what she's doing, but she also does think that it's time Riley was told the truth."

Warren's plan escalates when he starts plotting to hand out copies of Mitzeee's scandalous book at Mercedes and Riley's wedding ceremony, leaving viewers to wonder whether he will throw the happy event into chaos.
