Ashley Taylor Dawson unsure about Darren and Nancy’s future


‘Hollyoaks’ star Ashley Taylor Dawson is unsure about the future of his on-screen marriage.

The 32-year-old actor stars as Darren Osborne on the Channel 4 soap and he’s revealed that although his character and Nancy Hayton (Jessica Fox) recently tied the knot again after a difficult year, he’s not sure their marriage will last if he finds out about Nancy’s affair with Rick Spencer (Victor Gardener).

He explained: "Nancy and Darren have been together for so long. They have been such a tight couple and been through all sorts. With that comes a level of respect.

"What’s happened is obviously absolutely awful and I think Darren is going to go on the rampage a little bit. I think he mans up at last but will go about it totally the wrong way.

"I don’t know whether they will survive it. With Nancy and Darren you’d always expect them to get through it, but so much has happened and do you ever get that respect back? I don’t know."

Ashley confessed, however, that while he enjoys working with Jessica, he wouldn’t mind if Darren and Nancy did split as he loves getting the opportunity to work alongside new people.

He said: "I love working with Jess – she’s a fantastic actress. We just have a way of working that’s very quick … When you’ve worked together for so long it does make it easier, but at the same time it’s nice to work with different people and also go on a different journey with your character so I’m open to anything."
