Hollyoaks star Anna Passey has spoken about the shock revelation that her character Sienna Blake has a child with her twin brother Dodger Savage.
The bombshell storyline twist was revealed on screen in Thursday's E4 first look episode (September 4) as Sienna's father Patrick accidentally let slip that Dodger is Nico's dad.
Disclosing more details about the story, Passey has confirmed that Patrick (Jeremy Sheffield) will keep Sienna locked away in the boiler room at Hollyoaks High for a number of episodes.
The twisted headteacher holds his daughter captive as he is determined to make sure that she doesn't tell Dodger (Danny Mac) the truth.
Passey told Hollyoaks' official website: "At first she is in total shock. Not in a million years did she remotely think it was possible that Dodger could be the father of her daughter, so it knocks her for six. But then as the news settles in, she starts to feel that it makes sense of lots of things.
"If Dodger found out the news that he was in fact Nico's father, I think he would be entirely freaked out. Dodger would obviously have a normal reaction to it.

"I don't think he would get his head around it. I don't even think he would believe it, and if he was made to believe it, I think he would panic and not want to be anywhere near Sienna or probably Nico sadly!"
She continued: "The big question is, does Sienna tell Dodger the news? Well, at first she wants to. Her immediate reaction is, 'Great - let's go there now and tell him. It's going to be fantastic'. But Patrick won't let that happen and he's so worried about Sienna running off to tell him that he locks her in a boiler room, so she's stuck in there.
"The more time she spends in there, the more she convinces herself it would be a fabulous idea to tell him, so Patrick has definitely got his work cut out for him trying to stop her. But we know what Sienna's like, so she's not going to give up without a fight."
The storyline twist will be explained fully on screen in the next episode as it's revealed that Dodger and Sienna met briefly years ago and slept together. When they later met as adults, they failed to recognise each other from their previous encounter.
A spokesperson told Digital Spy today: "Sienna and Dodger were estranged as children and each did not discover they had a twin until adulthood. When Nico was conceived 14 years ago, it was a chance meeting and they did not know that they were related.
"Hollyoaks viewers will know that the Blake family are bound together by a dark and sinister history which will be further explored in this long-running storyline."
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
