Hollyoaks’ Nathan Morris has teased that he has a huge "stunt" coming up.
The actor portrays oddball Milo Entwistle in the long-running soap and, while viewers have known for some time that he’s changed his name to avoid being revealed as the teenage driver who killed Helen and Gordon Cunningham – the parents of his new surrogate family Cindy Savage (Stephanie Wareing), Mandy Morgan (Sarah-Jayne Dunn) and Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) – Cindy’s husband, Dirk Savage (David Kennedy), is the only villager to know the truth.
Nathan has now teased there are some "big moments" coming up for his alter ego, but refused to confirm whether or not the truth about his real identity will finally be exposed.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, Nathan said: "I can’t say whether the secret will come out, but the stunt is related to Milo’s past. It’s exciting – I love the stunts the show does, they’re fantastic. It’s hard work to film, but the end product is worth it. There are some big moments coming up for Milo."
While Nathan’s keeping quiet on what the stunt involves, another villager could end up caught in the crossfire.
Milo – who was sent to a young offenders institute for accidentally crashing his dad’s works van into Helen and Gordon’s car in 2004 – arrived in the village last year and was taken in as Cindy’s lodger, and has since seen himself as the family’s guardian angel, though some of his antics have been questionable, such as installing tracking devices on their phones and driving a wedge between Cindy and Dirk.
He eventually decided to help them reconcile after the kindly junk shop owner came to his aid to drive Milo’s blackmailing brother Theo (Matt Kennard) out of town, prompting him to confess his dark past to Dirk.
When his secret came close to being revealed in December by stalker police officer DS Gavin Armstrong, a showdown of boobytraps left the corrupt cop dead when he was electrocuted by a string of fairylights.
