Laila Rouass wants 'Holby' love triangle

Laila Rouass has revealed that she is hoping to feature in a love triangle storyline on Holby City.

The former Primeval star makes her debut in the BBC medical drama tomorrow evening, appearing as brilliant surgeon Sahira Shah.

Speaking to We Love Telly, Rouass confirmed that she is eager to share plenty of screen time with the show's male cast members in the months ahead.

She explained: "I hope there is a love triangle for my character as there are some really dishy guys in the cast. Jimmy Akingbola, Ed MacLiam and Hugh Quarshie are all so fit!"

Meanwhile, discussing what viewers can expect from Sahira, Rouass commented: "She's very competitive and one of the highlights of her early storylines is her relationship with Jac. But there are bitchy, catty comments which give it a fun element.

"She also has a history with Hanssen, but was it a romantic one?"

The star also praised Holby for being "so understated in the most positive sense" and for featuring "fantastic actors".
