Trevor A Toussaint and Imran Adams have joined ‘Hollyoaks’.
The pair will play Walter Deveraux and Mitchell Deveraux respectively – the father and son of Martine Deveraux, who is played by Kelle Bryan – and Imran has gained new respect for the stars of the soap and the crew members after realising just how much hard work everyone puts in.
Imran – whose alter-ego is described as a "cool, calm and collected trainee doctor" – said: "Joining ‘Hollyoaks’ has been a rollercoaster of a ride so far but it’s been a lot of fun and the whole team have been so welcoming.
"I have a huge respect for ‘Hollyoaks’ actors and I’m proud and grateful to currently be one.
"I’m not sure our amazing viewers know how much hard work everyone puts into each and every episode from both actors and the crew. It really is "Acting Athletics" but I love it."
Trevor’s alter-ego Walter is deeply religious and will be moving to the village much to Martine’s dismay.
He added: "Walter believes he is the ‘man who does no wrong’.
"He is very strict with his family as he only sees in black and white, and genuinely believes he knows best.
"Since joining ‘Hollyoaks’ it’s been a whirlwind my feet have hardly touched the ground … what with family back in London, learning the pace, and meeting lots of new faces."
Kelle confirmed in September she had signed up to the soap to play Simone Loveday’s (Jacqueline Boatswain) sister Martine.
She said at the time: "I watched ‘Hollyoaks’ back in the day and loved it, so to be joining the team is just fab! It’s a stellar cast of actors and we are simply having a blast working together.
"Playing Miss Deveraux is such fun – she says and does all of the things I would never dare to do."
