Kirsty-Leigh Porter teases ‘drama-filled’ Hollyoaks special

OHMYGOSSIP — Kirsty-Leigh Porter has teased Hollyoaks’ one-hour festive wedding special will be a “drama-filled, emotional event”.
The 29-year-old actress’ alter-ego Leela Lomax is all set to marry Louis Loveday (Karl Collins) despite not knowing he is already married to his ex Simone Loveday’s (Jacqueline Boatswain) sister Martine Deveraux (Kelle Bryan), and the star admits her alter-ego’s world will “come crashing down” if she finds out about Louis’ bigamy.
She said: “It’s a ‘Hollyoaks’ wedding, no one does them better and it’s also Leela’s third attempt at tying the knot!
“With the drama escalating and the truth so close to coming out about Louis’ secrets, it’s bound to be a drama filled, emotional event.
“Leela’s world would come crashing down if she learns of Louis’s unfaithfulness.
“She had a tiny glimpse of suspicion he was up to no good and asked Louis out right if he was having an affair, but he told her to her face that he wasn’t … She believed him.
“So, for him to have lied when given the opportunity to come clean, will be another stab in the back.”
Should the truth come out, Kirsty-Leigh has hinted her character may well head abroad for some rest and relaxation to get over the devastation.
She added: “I think Leela needs to take time out for herself. She’s always been the head of the family since her mum and dad died, she’s always tried to look after everyone and put everyone first before herself.
“She needs to book a five-star cruise around the Caribbean, take time some out and find her sassy self again!”
What’s more, Leela could well take a break of some sorts from the village next year regardless – because Kirsty is pregnant.
Announcing the news, she recently said: “We were really, really happy. You just feel everything at once.
“With acting, you don’t know when you’re okay to be like, ‘Let’s take a year out and do this.’
“You’re just prepared when it happens, and we’re so happy it’s happened for us now.”
