Warning: This article contains spoilers from Tuesday's E4 episode that some readers may prefer to avoid.
Former Brookside and Family Affairs star David Easter has landed a new soap job in Hollyoaks.
The actor made his first appearance on the show at the end of Tuesday's E4 first look episode (May 12), which saw him arrive in the village as part of a shock twist for Cindy Cunningham.
Credited only as "Mystery Man" in his first episode, Easter is playing Cindy's secret husband.
Cindy (Stephanie Waring) tied the knot with him during one of her bipolar episodes and later unknowingly carried on as normal in her relationship with Dirk Savage.
As Cindy has just married Dirk (David Kennedy) in a hastily-planned registry office ceremony, the arrival of Easter's character looks set to pose a huge problem for her as she realises that she has committed bigamy.
With the new character now seeking a divorce, Cindy will face a tough time as she desperately tries to shield Dirk from her secret.
Easter will be a new regular cast member for Hollyoaks, ensuring plenty more drama for him further on down the line.
The 55-year-old is best known to soap fans for playing Pat Hancock in Brookside and Pete Callan in Family Affairs. He also had a guest stint in Emmerdale in 2013 as businessman Gil Keane.
