Hollyoaks casts Denise Welch as Maxine Minniver's mum Trish

From Digital Spy

Hollyoaks has announced that Denise Welch is joining the soap's cast as Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson)'s mum Trish.

Dance teacher Trish will arrive in the village under the ominous shadow of her boyfriend Brad, who will take an immediate shine to Maxine – which could drive a big wedge between the mother and daughter.

Denise and Nikki have soap history as they've previously worked together on Coronation Street, in which they played Natalie Barnes and Candice Stowe respectively.

"I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks in this, their 25th year," Denise said. "I'm looking forward to working with some old friends and making new ones.

"The character of Trish Minniver is an actor's dream and I can't wait to introduce her to you."

Denise will first be seen on screen as Trish in January 2021. Further details to follow.
