"Hollyoaks star Emmett Scanlan has promised that there are &amp;quot;exciting&amp;quot; new storylines on the way for his character Brendan Brady. The actor revealed that his unpredictable alter ego will be back at the forefront of the Channel 4 show in the coming months. Scanlan told Inside Soap: &amp;quot;A massive storyline is going to kick in later this year. I&amp;#039;ve already seen a few of the scripts which are coming up, and some new people are going to come into Brendan&amp;#039;s life and change it forever. &amp;quot;His main motivations will remain the same, though. Power, possession, Ste - we&amp;#039;ll be exploring each of those aspects of him. It all looks very exciting, actually.&amp;quot; In the meantime, a new rivalry kicks off for Brendan this week as bad boy Walker joins the village. Scanlan said: &amp;quot;They met in prison while Brendan was doing time on suspicion of the murders that Silas committed. Walker looked out for Brendan, so he turns up asking for a favour in return. Brendan is aware he&amp;#039;s a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but there&amp;#039;s this unwritten criminal code that he knows he has to honour. &amp;quot;Neil Newbon, who plays Walker, is a fascinating character on and off the set. We get on very well, but we both want to make Brendan and Walker&amp;#039;s rivalry so palpable that the audience will be salivating while watching!&amp;quot; Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with a first-look screening at 7pm on E4.
