Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has revealed that Theresa McQueen is set to turn green with envy when she spots Joel Dexter with another woman. Blonde bombshell Theresa sees her jealous side resurface when she spots boyfriend Joel (Andrew Still) with a mystery woman - who later turns out to be his mum. "She doesn't know that it's Joel's mum at first, which causes a lot of problems, and the jealous girlfriend type of thing returns. It causes massive problems," she said. Theresa recently locked lips with Rob Edwards (David Atkins) behind Joel's back, and Jorgie enjoyed showing a glimpse of her character's wild side again. "It's so much fun to play her when she was like a Lolita, going after all the men - which was kind of cool because the men aren't that bad-looking in Hollyoaks! So it was kind of fun that she got to flirt again with new meat really!" But the actress reckons it is time mum-of-one Theresa did have some luck in love. "It would be so nice for her to settle down, especially because she's got a kid, she kind of needs a bit of stability in her life. It would probably be really boring, but it would be really good," she said.
