Hollyoaks actress Zoë Lister has revealed that fans can expect her character's current storyline to become "really messy" in the days ahead.

Speaking to Digital Spy about Zoe's plans to get even, Lister revealed: "[She] can't let Mike continue to think that Sarah (more)...

Earlier this year, the 27-year-old took part in a number of plane jumps to prepare for a dramatic storyline on spinoff Hollyoaks Later.

Zoë Lister has revealed that her Hollyoaks character struggles to prove her innocence in this week's court scenes. The 27-year-old's alter ego Zoe Carpenter has been wrongly accused of murder after her friend Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley) died in suspicious circumstances during a skydive attempt earlier this year. In reality, jealous Lydia Hart (Lydia Kelly) was the person responsible for sabotaging Sarah's parachute before her death, but she has so far managed to escape detection by framing Zoe for the crime. Speaking to Digital Spy about how the trial progresses, Lister explained: "Zoe's just wondering what lies Lydia's going to come up with next. Lydia's actually really convincing and after the first day, Zoe almost resigns herself to the fact that she's going to prison. "Zoe knows the truth, though - she knows she's (more)...

Hollyoaks actress Loui Batley has branded her character's gruesome skydive death as the perfect exit from the show. The 22-year-old, who played lesbian student Sarah Barnes for four years, bowed out of the Channel 4 serial during last night's penultimate episode of Hollyoaks Later on E4. The episode, which featured a skydive stunt, saw a jealous Lydia (Lydia Kelly) sabotage Zoe Carpenter's (Zoë Lister) parachute. However, when the packs were distributed, Lydia allowed the trio to take to the skies and a game of Russian roulette ensued. Without knowing who had the tampered parachute on their backs, Zoe, Sarah and Lydia took it in turn to jump out of the plane. Zoe successfully pulled her ripcord but Lydia could only watch on as a panicked Sarah plummeted to her death when her parachute failed to operate. Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Batley (more)...

Loui Batley has admitted that she was too scared to try a real-life skydive during training for Hollyoaks Later. The late-night soap spinoff sees tragedy strike tonight as Batley's character Sarah Barnes agrees to take part in a parachute jump with Zoe Carpenter (Zoë Lister) and Lydia Hart (Lydia Kelly).

Speaking to Digital Spy, Batley revealed: "I was honestly very tempted [to do a skydive] but then I thought it was tempting fate a little. We were coached so well - I went on the training to learn how to do all the manoeuvres but I'm absolutely terrified of planes and heights, so it was a bit (more)...
