Hollyoaks star Matthew Wolfenden has revealed that his character Jonah Keane has a huge secret that could have major consequences for his loved ones. The Keane family arrived in Hollyoaks earlier this year with Beth intending to surprise her dad Jack, but they were involved in a massive car crash that immediately changed everything.
For weeks now, Beth has been blackmailed by a face from her past, someone who she has been trying to run from, and viewers recently discovered that Beth is not the biological mum of teen Maddox.

"I’d like to think that their relationship [is unbreakable] at the moment," he remarks. "There are a lot of secrets to come out, especially about Jonah.

Jonah has helping his son Caleb adapt to his new life after he suffered a serious spinal injury in the crash. He has also made friends quickly in the village and recently supported Leela through her grief – but this has led to Maddox mistakenly believing that they are having an affair.
