Last week, Hollyoaks announced that Leo Cole will be taking on the role of Ro Hutchinson, previously played by Ava Webster.
It has now been confirmed that Brook Debio and Chloe Atkinson will also be joining the Hollyoaks cast, taking over the roles of Ant and Dee Dee Hutchinson.
The roles were previously played by Lacey Findlow and William Thompson.
Brook has previously appeared in a special episode of Coronation Street earlier this year as a young Kit Green.
Chloe, Leo and Brook will make their Hollyoaks debut on Monday 20th October, during the Channel 4 soap’s 30th anniversary week.
They will be seen attending their parents, Tony (Nick Pickard) and Diane (Alex Fletcher)’s wedding.
However Aubrey Burgess will continue in her role as Tony and Diane’s youngest daughter, Eva Hutchinson.
Talking about her new role, Chloe Atkinson said: “I am so excited and grateful to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks as Dee Dee Hutchinson.
“My time here so far has been truly amazing, and I cannot wait to continue the journey. The rest of the cast has welcomed me with open arms.
“I couldn’t finish this message without mentioning Lacey Findlow and how lucky I feel to show you a different side to the character she brought to life and played so incredibly well.”
Brook added: “It’s been so exciting joining the cast of Hollyoaks as Ant Hutchinson – it’s a real privilege to be part of a well-established and welcoming family.
“Filming has been a blast- especially with some of the intense scenes we’ve been shooting.
“I’m really grateful to have been trusted with such an important storyline…”
