Sam is the wife of Hollyoaks High teacher Danny Lomax (Stephen Billington).[59] Roper stated "I'm so lucky getting to play Sam: one moment she's fun and feisty starting food fights, the next she's facing up to gangsters and doing everything she can to bring them to justice. She's not afraid of anything and has got a heart of gold, but when it comes to her family she's a lioness—don't mess with her!"[59] Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy reported that Sam would become a prominent character on-screen as Danny's storyline continues and their daughters arrive.[59] In September 2013, the show announced the arrival of Sam and Danny's three daughters, Leela Lomax, Tegan Lomax and Peri Lomax, played by Kirsty-Leigh Porter, Jessica Ellis and Ruby O'Donnell, respectively,[60] named after Doctor Who companions of the 1970s and '80s.

Sam suspects something is wrong and later ends up bringing Cindy and Mercedes in, alongside Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin) for the murder of Mercedes' husband Dr. Paul Browning (Joseph Thompson) and once she finds out they killed him, she lets them go and vows not to tell anybody about what happened. Sam then discovers John Paul has been raped and takes him to the hospital to be examined, and provides support for him. However, once she discovers he and Danny were having an affair, she gets him put into prison for the assault of his rapist Finn O'Connor (Keith Rice). Sam discovers that Leela's boyfriend Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore) has been released from prison and he kidnaps her, but she escapes after revealing she got him locked up.

Tegan and Peri later sneak away and contact Sam and Danny, begging them to come and pick them up, but before they can, an unknown car smashes into theirs, killing Sam and Danny.

Tegan first appears at Dee Valley Hospital, where she gives birth to a daughter, Rose Lomax. It soon emerges that gangster Fraser Black (Jesse Birdsall) is Rose's father. He persuades Tegan to leave with him and Rose, but kidnaps Rose instead. However, before he can leave, Fraser is killed. Tegan is questioned by the police, but released without charge.

When they become trapped together during a siege at the hospital, Tegan and Ziggy have sex. Tegan becomes pregnant and Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore) tells Leela about their infidelity, straining the sisters' relationship. Tegan confides in Ziggy that she is not pregnant and that the cancer, which she developed as a child, has returned. Ziggy supports Tegan through her treatment and when Cameron learns that Tegan has cancer, he encourages her to tell Leela; she does and they reconcile.
When Rose becomes ill, Tegan donates blood to her through a transfusion, although this worsens Rose's condition and it emerges that Rose is not Tegan's biological daughter. Tegan and Celine McQueen (Sarah George) discovers that Diane O'Connor (Alex Fletcher) and Tony Hutchinson's (Nick Pickard) daughter, Dee Dee Hutchinson (Annabelle and Charlotte White; Lacey Findlow), is her biological daughter and Rose is Diane and Tony's biological daughter. Tegan, Ziggy and her family visit her aunt's cabin, where Tegan and Ziggy eat soup containing magic mushrooms. Ziggy confesses his love for Tegan, but she rejects him due to her cancer treatment.

Leela and Ziggy later plan to marry, but Ziggy confesses his love for Tegan again. As she goes to tell Leela, she discovers that Diane is planning to gain full custody of Rose and Dee Dee. Tegan and Diane agree to keep their daughters, and Tegan is upset when Leela and Ziggy marry. Tony tries to gain more access to Rose by faking romantic feelings for Tegan, but Tegan discovers this and plans to run away with Rose with Scott Drinkwell's (Ross Adams) help. Tegan pretends that Rose has been kidnapped, but is arrested when Ziggy informs the police of the plan; she is charged with perverting the course of justice and sentenced to four weeks imprisonment. Leela discovers that Tegan and Ziggy were planning to run away with Rose so hands Rose to her biological parents. Ziggy visits Tegan in prison and she vows revenge on him and Leela for their actions. Tegan is released and tries to see Rose, but Diane denies her access. Tegan reveals to Diane that Scott helped her in the kidnapping; they physically fight, but then try to remain civil. Diane bans Tegan from seeing Rose after suspecting her of poisoning her. When Tegan does visit her, Rose cannot recognise her mother, upsetting Tegan.
Cameron is exposed as a serial killer and the murderer of Sam and Danny; when Tegan learns that Leela knew about this, she disowns her. Tegan and Ziggy plan to leave, but Leela reveals that she is pregnant with Ziggy's child. Shortly afterwards, Tegan learns that Leela is lying, but Leela asks Tegan not to tell Ziggy as she does not want to lose him. Leela soon admits the truth to Ziggy and he tells Tegan that they cannot have a future together. At Diane and Tony's wedding, Tegan gives a speech about her love for Rose and Dee Dee and tells Diane that she has torn her family apart. Diane agrees to return Rose to Tegan as she agrees that they cannot continue in their current position. Tegan and Ste attend Cameron's court hearing for Sam and Danny's murder, where Leela reads a positive statement about Cameron; he receives a two-year driving ban. Tegan punches Cameron and leaves for a holiday with Rose. When she returns, she reconciles with Leela and claims to be dating a man named Raphael, which is revealed to be a lie. She goes on a date with Seth (Wilson James), but Ziggy becomes jealous and stops it. Tegan and Ziggy admit their love for each other and almost kiss, but Leela interrupts them. When Leela announces her and Ziggy's intentions to have a baby, Ziggy ends their marriage and confesses his love for Tegan. Leela and Peri leave following the revelation, while Ziggy tries to woo Tegan. When Leela is nearly killed in an explosion, she and Tegan make peace and Leela encourages her to be with Ziggy. Tegan and Ziggy begin a relationship, but as they celebrate, Ziggy dies, leaving Tegan devastated.
In October 2018, Tegan struggles to find Rose during a storm in the village. As she searches for her, a tree falls onto her. Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi) performs emergency treatment on Tegan, but when she arrives at hospital, Tegan is told that she needs an operation because of internal bleeding caused by a ruptured spleen as result of the treatment given to her by Misbah. She does not tell anyone about her critical condition, but says goodbye to Rose, Dee Dee, Leela, Ste and Peri. Diane and Tony tell Tegan she can help co-parent Rose and Dee Dee, delighting her, saying it was all she ever wanted. Tegan then goes into cardiac arrest and after attempted resuscitation, she dies, devastating her family.

Ro Hutchinson, portrayed by Ava Webster, made his first appearance in episode 3718, originally broadcast on 23 October 2013. Ro is the son of Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) and Diane Hutchinson (Alex Fletcher) but was switched at birth with Dee Dee Hutchinson (Annabelle White/Charlotte White) after Mariam Andrews (Helen Lederer), a midwife whom was drunk on the job, ended up inadvertently switching the babies.[71] Since Tegan's death, Ro has lived with Tony and Diane. For the first five years of his life, he was raised by Tegan.
It was announced on 13 October 2023 in a "new" story for the Hutchinson family, they recast the roles of Ro and Anthony (now William Thompson).[72] The reasoning for so is a "never been done" storyline that Fletcher teased.[73] The recast is a first for many child actors in the soap opera as the production team for Hollyoaks were still attempting to solve the problem of the "disappearing" actors during covid transmissions, who had little to no screen-time.
"This story is gonna be a slow burn, and like I said, I think people are going to really invest in Rose's character, she's just gorgeous and I think when the audience see what she's going to go through, they're going to really feel it with her."[72]
–Alex Fletcher on Ro's recast and upcoming storyline (2023)
On 26 February 2024, it was announced executive producer Hannah Cheers and series producer Angela Abela placed Ro at the forefront of a "groundbreaking" storyline that would oversee Ro exploring his gender identity.[74] Ro quizzes new barmaid Kitty Draper (Iz Hesketh) on her journey on coming out as transgender and the reaction she garnered before admitting to her that he doesn't feel comfortable with his gender.[75] Fletcher, who portrays Ro's on-screen mother Diane, praised the storyline.[74] In scenes from episode 6324, originally broadcast on 5 March 2024, Ro comes out as transgender to Tony and Diane.[76] Tony and Diane are struck by the news; struggling to adjust to Ro's decision. Tony and Diane's "biggest obstacle" were the new pronouns that Ro identifies with, he/him.[77] Tony, still struggling to adjust is advised by Kitty to take Ro to the hairdressers, Tony then makes the first step with Ro.[78] Carter Shepherd (David Ames), the headteacher at Hollyoaks High, contacts Diane and Tony ahead of Ro's return to school – suggesting help that is supporting a struggling Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis).[79] Carter is a secret conversion therapist trying to convert Ro by suggesting he returns to his former name Rose and to "act" like his birth gender.[80] Clashing with Carter was already foreshadowed in the spring trailer for 2024. In a heated showdown, Ro hit Carter for his transphobic suggestions.[81] Ro starts a friendship with Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and Mercedes gives Ro a hat of Bobby Costello (Jayden Fox)'s. Tony then continues to support Ro and takes Ro to shop for clothes that fits his identity – Diane is unhappy.[82] Ro overheard Kitty confess to Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham) about escaping her conversion therapist father Declan Hawthorne (Alan Turkington), who is working with Carter.[83] Ro later has a heated confrontation with Declan, confronting him for his beliefs. Ro is almost attacked but is caught in time by Freddie to run.[84] Carter is later exposed at the Pride festival that Tony and Ro attend which later leads to his arrest.[85] The village then deals with the fall-out from Pride. Realising how impactful and influential Carter's words were, Diane and Ro finally have a breakthrough – Diane ensures Ro she accepts him and loves him unconditionally.[86]

Leela Dexter (also Lomax , Campbell and Roscoe), played by Kirsty-Leigh Porter, made her first appearance on 24 October 2013.[90] Leela is a member of the Lomax family consisting of Danny (Stephen Billington), Sam (Lizzie Roper) and sisters Peri (Ruby O'Donnell) and Tegan Lomax (Jessica Ellis).[60] Former Emmerdale actress Porter's casting was announced in June 2013, three months prior to the announcement of her character. Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said that Porter was "a terrific signing for Hollyoaks. She will join us later on in the year in a very exciting role. She is certainly set to mix things up for one of our much-loved characters."[91] Kirkwood later revealed that he intended on introducing sisters of the established character Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson). He wanted to introduce female characters to benefit Hollyoaks' future and revealed his excitement to watch the sisters interact with Ste.[92] In August 2013, it was announced that Porter would be playing one of Ste's sisters.[93] Leela was named after the Doctor Who character Leela, in honour of its 50th anniversary in November 2013. Leela temporarily departed the serial in early 2019, following the death of Porter's daughter. She returned in April 2019.[94] Porter took a break in 2020 to take maternity leave. She departed on 8 October 2020 and returned briefly from 28 to 30 December 2020. She returned on 27 October 2021.
In scenes from episode 6250, originally broadcast on 22 November 2023, it was revealed that Joel and Leela had conceived.[95] She initially didn't want to keep the baby as at the time they had recently fallen out over the return of ex-fianceè Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin). Leela lied about an engagement to Cleo.[96] On 21 May 2024, it was announced that Leela would go through a baby tragedy as scenes broadcast later in the month would show her experience baby loss.[97] The storyline was partly replicated from Leigh-Porter's own baby-loss experience from December 2018.[97] Leigh-Porter praised the storyline, claiming she was "not the same Kirsty" since losing her daughter Penny-Leigh.[97] She also added she hoped it would "save a life".[97] It was further reported that the loss would happen hours after her wedding to Joel.[98] Kirsty-Leigh Porter appeared on ITV daytime talk-show Loose Women to spread awareness on the topic and spoke out on her role in the storyline.[99] She mentioned her own experience and reaction when she found out she had lost her own child, saying she had her "breath and soul sucked out" of her. She added: "it's not something you will ever get over" and the silence when they‘be given you the news is deafening.[99] The scenes aired in episode 6382, originally broadcast on 24 May 2024.[100] The scenes were branded "devastating", displaying usual chat with nurses about parenthood – the nurse required a second opinion before admitting Leela had lost her baby. The episode then featured silent credits to signify the loss.[100] Douglas-Speed praised the plot and Porter's portrayal.[101]
"She came to the decision it would be healing for her, and a chance to speak to the community who have been through this, I'm so glad she had the confidence and bravery to do the storyline. Kirsty gives the performance of a lifetime - she is a powerhouse."[101]
–Rory Douglas-Speed on Porter's portrayal on the tragic baby loss (2024)
The scenes of Leela being induced and in-labour were broadcast in episode 6384, transmitted on 28 May 2024.[102] Leela, along with Joel named the baby Noah. The episode also featured a tribute to Porter's own daughter, with an inscription reading "In memory of Penny-Leigh Barber, 21.12.2018".[102] ITV later interviewed both of them on the storyline, with Porter expressing her concern about their being a "taboo" of baby loss and she wanted to break it by portraying the storyline, adding if anybody would have told the story, it would have been her.[103]
Storylines
Leela arrives to visit Tegan after she gives birth to a surprise baby. She agrees to move in with her parents and meets her half-brother Ste. In trying to help Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) to find her daughter, Leela revealed that Peri was not her sister but her daughter. She admits that she gave birth young and her parents agreed to be parents to her. She finally tells Peri that she is her mother and Peri rejects her. Leela's ex Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore) arrives in Hollyoaks and tries to win her back, but at the time she was with Ziggy Roscoe (Fabrizio Santino). In 2015, Leela married Ziggy. Peri becomes pregnant at 15 by Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins), and later gives birth to a baby girl called Steph, making Leela a grandmother at 28. Ziggy dies on Christmas Eve 2015 after suffering a head injury in an explosion a day before leaving Leela heartbroken. Leela later falls pregnant. Leela is horrified when Peri goes missing and it is revealed that Nico kept her hostage in a bunker. Peri reveals this to them at the hospital and a furious Cameron vows revenge. He starts a fire which kills Nico but it also kills Ziggy's brother Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callaghan), after an explosion causes him to fall from a ferris wheel. A few weeks later, Cameron proposes to Leela and she happily accepts. Celine McQueen (Sarah George) discovers that Cameron started the fire so Cameron kills her to keep his secret. At Leela's hen party, Tegan pays Zack Loveday (Duayne Boachie) to be the stripper and an angry Cameron punches him. The guilt of Cameron's crimes becomes too much for him, so he writes a confession letter and leaves. Leela panics when he disappears so his cousin Courtney Campbell (Amy Conacham) tricks him into meeting her at the hospital. He tries to confess his crimes but Courtney persuades him to return to Leela. Leela finds his confession letter but only reads the first page before rushing off to the ceremony and Cameron burns it. After saying their vows, Leela goes into labour two months early. She gives birth to a baby boy but the baby is struggling to breathe. Cameron spots a bruise on the baby's leg and angrily accuses the staff of harming his child. Leela names the baby Daniel after her father. While they are alone, Tegan tells Leela that it was a Mongolian blue spot which is common in mixed race babies, meaning Cameron isn't the father. Leela tells Cameron that he isn't the father and he makes her choose between him or the baby and Leela chooses him. The baby's father is revealed to be Louis Loveday (Karl Collins) whose son Zack was the main suspect.
Leela is horrified when she discovers that Nico tried to kill Peri and Harley and goes to find her. She goes to Sienna's flat and walks in on Nico attacking Sienna so she pulls Nico of Sienna, but accidentally pushes her against a table. Believing Nico to be dead, Leela apologises to Sienna but Nico wakes up and pushes Leela before trying to kill Sienna with a glass vase. Sienna picks up a doorstep and hits Nico with it, killing her.
Reception
In August 2017, the revelation that Louis is the father of Leela's son, Daniel was longlisted for Best Shock Twist at the Inside Soap Awards.[104] The nomination did not progress to the viewer-voted shortlist.[105] The scene of Leela losing her third baby with Joel was branded "devastating".[100]

Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy also warned that viewers could expect an "interesting dynamic" between Grace and Fraser's employee Trevor Royle (Greg Wood).[106][107] Describing Grace, Kilkelly was told that "considering her relations, I don't think she's going to be the nicest of characters."[108]
