Leela Lomax’s Hollyoaks wedding to feature ‘snot, tears, blood and guts’

Hollyoaks’ Leela Lomax and Louis Loveday’s wedding will feature "a lot of snot, tears, blood and guts".
The couple – who are played by Kirsty-Leigh Porter and Karl Collins – are set to tie the knot over the festive period, but Karl has hinted his alter-ego will take a beating on his chaotic big day.
He said: "Well, in true ‘Hollyoaks’ fashion, there’s a few punches thrown – not mine.
"Let’s just say that Louis won’t look good in the wedding photos! And he’s definitely going to be doing some grovelling.
"There’s going to be a lot of snot and tears – and blood and guts. And he might need his passport at some point."
Louis will need to do plenty of grovelling if his big secret gets out – that he is actually already married to his ex Simone Loveday’s (Jacqueline Boatswain) sister Martine Deveraux (Kelle Bryan).
As well as the injuries he looks set to incur, Louis is emotionally "wounded" and "broken-hearted" about the terrible decision he made to marry Martine, according to Karl.
He added to What’s On TV magazine: "He wakes up and realises he’s got to fulfil this path that he’s on. He’s obligated and I think he’s broken-hearted.
"He’s going into it really wounded. But I’m sure there won’t be too many people crying over Louis’ broken heart."
While Leela’s wedding looks set to end in disaster, the character may well depart the Hollyoaks village for a spell next year – because Kirsty is pregnant.
Announcing the news, she recently said: "We were really, really happy. You just feel everything at once.
"With acting, you don’t know when you’re okay to be like, ‘Let’s take a year out and do this.’
"You’re just prepared when it happens, and we’re so happy it’s happened for us now."
