Jessica Fox says Nancy Osborne will "rip" Darren Osborne’s "life apart" on ‘Hollyoaks’ upon discovering he’s had an affair.
The 35-year-old actress admitted her alter-ego will initially think of the "worst things" she can do to her husband (Ashley Taylor Dawson) when she finds out next week that he has been playing away with her best pal Mandy Morgan (Sarah Jayne Dunn), but her "conscience" looks set to take over before she does anything too drastic.
Jessica said: "There is most definitely payback. Her initial reaction is to figure out the worst things she can do to Darren and rip his life apart.
"Nancy actually turns to Sienna Blake of all people for advice and lessons on revenge!
"However, Nancy isn’t a bad person and is not violent at her core, so her conscience might get the better of her."
While Jessica admits it will be "weird" that she won’t spend as much time with Ashley on set going forward following the affair revelation, she is looking forward to having some screen time with other actors on the Channel 4 soap who she doesn’t usually star alongside as much.
She said: "It’s always weird when they split you up the person you spend more time with than anyone else in your life!
"Ashley and I know exactly what the other is thinking, but I’m looking at it as an exciting new chapter – I’m going to interact with new characters I’ve not played with before, and work with actors I’ve not had the opportunity work with. It’s the emancipation of Nancy!"
Jessica has been inundated with social media messages willing her character to wreak revenge by sleeping with Mandy’s husband Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy), but she thinks that would be too "predictable".
She is quoted by Radio Times.com as saying: "I’ve had lots of tweets about that, but sadly we’ve lost Gary Lucy who plays him to ‘The Full Monty’ tour now, so I don’t see that happening.
"But if they’d got together would it have been a bit predictable? And Nancy just be trading seats on the Titanic, going from a gambler to an alcoholic? I think she can do better."
