Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks has started filming on location for a new Scott Drinkwell story.

Cast member Ross Adams has been filming around Liverpool landmarks for upcoming scenes that will introduce a long-awaited love interest for Scott this spring.

Ariel Butwyna will be appearing in the Channel 4 soap in the coming weeks as Juan, a Spanish choreographer and dancer who catches Scott's eye in Liverpool.

"I’m having a fantastic time filming with Hollyoaks," the newcomer said. "I am so happy to be playing the role of Juan, who has such a lovely and sweet storyline with Scott.

"Working with Ross Adams is a true pleasure, and I’ve even had the chance to share some time on set with Alex Fletcher — everyone is so welcoming. Truly, a very kind and fun environment to work in."

Scott has been on his own ever since his surprise split from husband Mitchell Deveraux three years ago, when Mitchell was blackmailed by his siblings Celeste and Toby into leaving the village.

In the last year, Scott has put his energy into fostering Vicky Grant but he now has more time on his hands with Vicky's mum back in the picture.

Last month, Ross Adams dropped hints about whether Scott will be seeing Vicky again after the teen made a brief return to Chester.

"The last scene I filmed was with Maxine and, this is a total tease... Vicky!" the actor told Inside Soap. "I can tell you that we do see her again, but I can't say whether she's back for good."

Hollyoaks streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
