Hollyoaks have announced the casting of Rhiannon Clements as village newcomer Summer Ranger.
The character arrives looking for more information on her father Cormac - recently put into a coma by Warren for his historical abuse - and looks set to be a permanent fixture as she opens up a small baking shop in the bazaar.
An insider said: "Described as angelic on the outside, but a mischievous minx on the inside, Summer is a bright, effortlessly cool tomboy, but when Summer wants something, she's capable of going to extreme lengths to get it.
"She's sure to give frenemy Sienna a run for her money in life and maybe love."
Clements said: "I was absolutely buzzing and really grateful in our current climate to get the opportunity to join the Hollyoaks family.
"Summer is fun, sarcastic and I love the zest she brings. She's all sweetness and light but she also has a nasty bite, which is going to be brilliant to play. Also, I'm incredibly jealous of her wardrobe."
Clements's first scenes will be seen next month.
