Rayne Royce (born Louise Rayner), played by Jemma Donovan, first appeared on 17 January 2023.[1] The character and Donovan's casting details were announced on 12 October 2022.[2] Donovan joins the serial's main cast.[3] Of joining the show, she said: "I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks! I'm so grateful for this opportunity to bring something unique and fun to a new role and I can't wait to be a part of the Hollyoaks family."[2] Donovan relocated to Liverpool for the role. She told Metro's Stephen Patterson that her first day on set was "great" and she felt "at home" straight away.[4] Rayne is part of a new group of 20-somethings living in a shared house, which is reminiscent of the show's student-focused earlier years. She and her best friend Lacey Lloyd (Annabelle Davis) move in with Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner), Nadira Valli (Ashling O'Shea), and Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer).[2] Patterson noted that the pair "waste little time in getting up to no good, causing mischief for a number of the younger residents of the show."[4]

Rayne was billed as "an outgoing party girl", who is "well-known as a social media sensation."[2] Donovan later described her character as humorous, "fun, fiery and ambitious."[4] She found that she was "diving into a whole new character" in the world of social media, as Rayne is an influencer, adding "I love creating characters and bringing them to life so I'm really looking forward to doing that with Rayne."[4] Donovan later explained that while Rayne is confident and career driven, she would also show "a whole other side" and that she does have a past.[5] She arrives to the village on a motorbike, which Donovan admitted she was not allowed to ride.[5] She confirmed that Rayne has been best friends with Lacey since school and that they have a genuine friendship.[5] Donovan also teased a possible romance with Romeo, after he walks in on her in the bath. She called it "an interesting first encounter for them" and thought it was foreshadowing something between them.[5] She added: "Rayne does turn some heads, and there's a bit of competition too. The first people she meets are Prince, Hunter and then Romeo, but she's mostly there to have fun."[5]

On 13 September 2023, it was confirmed that Donovan would depart Hollyoaks, with Rayne being murdered in a "whodunit" storyline.[6] Discussing her exit from the serial, Donovan stated "I am so excited to announce that Rayne's reign is finally coming to an end with an incredible stunt week that I am over the moon to share with you guys. I think it's going to be full of drama, full of love, full of chaos but the big question is... who Did It? And I'm so excited for the speculation. I can't tell you, but it's a good one so hope you all enjoy!".[7] Rayne's death was broadcast on 26 September 2023.[8]

She's fun, career driven, training to be a Lawyer and now looking for a job. Fingers crossed she gets it. I've had a great time filming with the Hollyoaks gang and look forward to what Lacey gets up to."[9] Lacey moves into a share house with her best friend Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan). She was billed as being "fiercely loyal" and a "'great' friend, bringing calm as opposed to Rayne's 'chaos'."[9] Lacey aspires to be a paralegal and her early storylines see her apply for a job at Dee Valley Law.[9] Her final scenes aired on the 11th October 2023.

Speaking about Dillon's entrance, Virdi said: "Dillon is a ball of energy – he's loud, mischievous and dresses like a rock star. It turns out he's been expelled from school, and Misbah knows that Dillon's mother won't be happy about that. There are layers to uncover about Dillon as time goes on – he has a big, loud front, but Misbah starts to see a different side [to him]. It's just what the family needs [after Shaq's exit]."

Speaking about his character and casting, Gordon said: "Joining the team at Hollyoaks feels a bit like meeting the family of a partner you really like – a little bit intimidating, but also very fulfilling. There's a real closeness throughout the departments and I've been welcomed into the fold with grace. Working with Anna has been an utter joy. Not only as an actor but as a person too. Sienna's journey collides with Rafe and there's... well, fireworks! He's not the usual man around town. The mystery and complexity of a road less travelled is something I'm really looking forward to playing and sharing with the fans."[14]

Dilly is fiery, quick-witted and a force to be reckoned with. Her kamikaze-like nature sees her in many a chaotic moment but deep down, there is a real vulnerable side that I’m excited for the audience to see."[16]

Carter Shepherd

Carter Shepherd, played by David Ames made his first appearance on 16 August 2023. The character and casting was announced on 2 June 2023.

Speaking about his character, Fox said: "I was very excited when I got the part. It was so cool to be a part of such a big storyline that the show has been building up to for a while. Brent adores Rayne and has very much not given up on them being together. The nature of their relationship has taken him to a place where he#s totally lost perspective and his sense of self, which in turn makes him quite dangerous. He'd pretty much do anything to try to make Rayne happy. I think people may understandably be hostile towards him because – being in that Rayne whirlpool – he makes some seriously big mistakes. You can expect clashes and fireworks with the likes of Peri and Romeo."[19]

Camilla Bassington-Hart
