Hollyoaks welcomes three newcomers

Three more students are moving into the university halls of residence in Hollyoaks. Lesbian barmaid Charlotte (Amy Yamakazi), already introduced to viewers as Lydia's ex-girlfriend who attracted the attention of Archie Carpenter (Stephen Beard), will move into the student halls and quickly become part of the gang. Cheeky ladies' man Dave (Elliot James Langridge), who appeared in online spin-off The Morning After The Night Before, will also join the show and looks set to become a firm favourite with female students. Meanwhile, India (Beth Kingston) will make an impression on the men of Chester. But she will be less popular with the Hollyoaks girls, who will find her spoilt and manipulative and question whether she is cut out for student life.
