Hollyoaks cast THIRD Brookside legend as it’s announced Suzanne Collins is joining soap
BROOKSIDE legend Suzanne Collins is set to make her TV comeback after landing a role on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.
The actress, who is best known for playing Nikki Shadwick on the iconic soap opera between 1996 – 2003, has signed up to play a mystery character who first appears in the fictional village later this month/early next month.
It’s currently unclear exactly how long Suzanne’s stint on Hollyoaks will last, but she started filming her scenes back in January.
A source said: “She will be making a discrete appearance in Hollyoaks later this month as a nod to Brookside’s history.
“The star will be playing a client of Verity’s for a one-off appearance in the Channel 4 soap.”
Since her final scenes in the very last episode of Brookside aired in 2003, Suzanne has gone on to appear in a string of TV and stage roles.
