Hollyoaks has announced Robert Beck will be joining the cast as Fergus.

Fergus is Brad King’s former business associate and Trish Minniver’s ex-boyfriend. He will be coming to the village in the hopes of recruiting Brad for a new business deal.

In the upcoming scenes, a confident Fergus approaches Brad with a dodgy deal. But it’s clear they have a treacherous past and their former rivalry is set to reignite.

Talking about joining the Channel 4 soap, Robert said: “I’m over the moon to be given this opportunity. I couldn’t really feel anymore at home, especially having started my career here with Brookside.

“Everyone has been so welcoming, including many old faces who were around in my Brookie days. Working with Denise and Nikki is great – I know them both and they’ve really helped me settle in.”

Robert also teased what fans can expect from Fergus: “Fergus is a lovely character to play… He’s cheeky, but he’s a man you really wouldn’t want as an enemy, and to be honest… you would probably have to be pretty careful if he was your friend…”
