Kyle Pryor has hinted his evil ‘Hollyoaks’ character has the potential to "wreak more chaos on the village".
The 30-year-old star’s alter-ego Laurie Shelby was arrested for attempting to rape Diane Hutchinson (Alex Fletcher) on last night’s (25.06.19) E4 episode, after ending up in hospital following a balcony fall at Hollyoaks High.
But Kyle has hinted this is not necessarily the end of Laurie’s reign of terror, which has also seen him sexually assault his wife Sinead Shelby (Stephanie Davis).
He said: "Laurie is like a cockroach! He’s very resilient and has the potential to come back from this and wreak more chaos on the village.
"But the good thing is that the women in the village know that they can get one over on him – so the cards aren’t all stacked in his favour anymore."
Kyle was initially keen to take on the fall stunt himself, but was eventually "happy to step aside" and let the stuntman drop from the balcony.
He added to Digital Spy: "These were really exciting episodes to film, with very high stakes. It’s always quite cool when you’ve got a stunt involved. A great stuntman came in and did that fall for me – and made me look good.
"It was one of those moments where I felt like I wanted to do it myself, but the stuntman did a great job and made me look good, so I was happy to step aside and just think about my next scene!
"We shoot a lot of content, so there’s always stuff to be working on and thinking about. On this occasion, I was quite happy to step aside and let the professional take over. He did a fantastic job and it looked great."
Stephanie recently admitted she needed counselling while filming her character’s sexual assault storyline.
She said: "We all went into a big meeting and I think because of everything that I’ve been through, I found that day hard.
"They came in, I was there, and everyone who was working on the storyline was in the room.
"I don’t know if any of them had been through anything like that before, but I spoke to the charity afterwards and had a good chat with them.
"They were really good, and sensed how difficult I was find-ing it all.
"They asked if I needed counselling while filming it, and I said yes. It really helped me."
