List of Hollyoaks characters introduced in 2020

Verity Hutchinson, played by Eva O'Hara, made her first appearance on 6 January 2020, as part of ''Hollyoaks Later'' and her last appearance on 7 December 2022 when she dies following a cardiac arrest after having a bookshelf pushed on top of her by Bobby Costello. The character was announced on 20 September 2019, but casting wasn't revealed until 10 December 2019. Verity is the sister of the soap's longest-running character Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) and the daughter of Edward Hutchinson (Joe McGann). Verity is Edward's favourite child and arrives in the village to launch her own law firm. Describing the character, Eva said that she "can hold her own in any situation and really doesn't take no for an answer", adding: "She has a fascinating balance of ruthlessness and compassion, making her one to watch... I've found myself feeling jealous of her fearlessness at times."

Speaking about her casting, she said: "I have been totally bowled over by the wonderful team at ''Hollyoaks''. I have fallen in love with the warmth and passion of everyone involved, and feel utterly blessed to be involved in such a creative environment." Provided by Wikipedia
