-->'''Duration''':2006-

Present before the other members of the family, as he wasn't initially known to be part of it. He started off as a typical "bad boy" but then matured as he got with Amy and had a child (as well as believing Amy's other child was his for a while). His storylines involved domestic abuse, both from him to Amy then from Brendan to him after figuring out that he was gay and more recently him finding Danny, his real father after almost hooking up with him. He was in a civil partnership with Doug Carter for a while before he died in the explosion and his children are Leah (who Amy initially claimed was his, although he adopted her later) and Lucas (who is his), who swap between being and not being on the show as to whether they're staying with Ste or Amy.

*PappaWolf: He'll got to great lengths to protect Leah and Lucas, especially trying to keep them separate from his involvement with Fraser.
*ShipToShipCombat: Despite not being promiscuous (he gets over former partners pretty quickly but doesn't cheat) he really tends to inspire this: While Amy and Noah aren't very popular, Doug, Brendan and John Paul are all popular choices for him, although the former is now dead.

*DeadpanSnarker: Her brand of humour tends in this direction.
*TheILoveYouStigma: She struggles to get it out.

!!Tom Cunningham (Osborne by adoption)

-->'''Duration:'''1999-

-->'''Portrayed by''': Ellis Hollins

Born on "Millennium Eve" and Cindy's half-brother (therefore making him Holly's uncle whilst younger than her). His storylines are mostly bad things happening to him, although he manages to stay incredibly jovial throughout it all. In April 2014 he and Peri [[PuppyLove get]] [[ThrowTheDogABone together]] and he manages to convince her to have surgery to get rid of her brain tumor.

* DoomMagnet: The poor kid has been through so much in his short life, and what's more is that no-one ever seems to believe him when someone actually is evil (Claire and Sienna spring to mind) or when Tom himself or someone needs help. You'd think people would have learned by now. To date;
** His parents died in a car accident when he was young.
** His niece Grace died of S.I.D.S.
** His big brother and father figure Max died saving him from being hit by a car.
** His sister-in-law and mother figure Steph suffered from terminal cancer, and chose to die painfully in a fire instead.
** Yet another big brother figure, Gilly, was accused of rape and forced to leave the village.
** His sister of sorts Esther tried to commit suicide after being harshly bullied, during which Tom was the only one on her side.
** His current big brother figure Darren thinks of him as nothing more than a pervert due to Sienna's lies.
** Sienna kidnapped Tom, informed him he was to blame for the 2013 explosion that took several lives, and then went one step further and informed him that Darren had died too.
** {{Invoked}} by Clare, who used it to get Tom to want to [[TearJerker go into a foster home rather than live with Max]].
** It also seems no coincidence that he returned back into focus just in time for the [[RocksFallEverybodyDies Bus Crash Wedding]]. And for the 2013 explosion.
** Invoked then averted with his obvious crush on Peri and her wanting to run away after finding out about her brain tumor cancelling each other out. She reciprocates and he convinces her to have the surgery.
* ThePollyanna: He remains perennially cheerful and upbeat, despite all the continuous [[DoomMagnet family tragedy]] and [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood misfortune]] occurring all around him. It's gotten to the point where most fictional ''supervillains'' don't have backstories as tragic as he does!

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Starting a character sheet. Incomplete, more characters and more tropes for each are needed.

Added DiffLines:

The character sheet for ''Series/{{Hollyoaks}}''. As it is a LongRunner SoapOpera, there are [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many]] characters past and present so those which haven't been present in a long time will have no or few tropes. As Hollyoaks was first shown in 1995, expect {{LateArrivalSpoiler}}s. The characters are organised by family, with additional names listed after the main family name.

[[folder: [=McQueen=] (Browning, Valentine)]]

!!Mercedes Browning (née [=McQueen=], previously Owen/Fisher)

-->'''Duration''': 2006 --

-->'''Portrayed by''': Jennifer Metcalfe

Mercedes Browning née [=McQueen=] is one of the more prominent members of the McQueen family and is often antagonistic due to being manipulative and having most of the town's women as enemies, although stories focusing on her have her suffer [[KickTheSonOfABitch misfortune]] or pitch her against whoever is [[EvilVersusEvil worse]] out of the current cast.

*DeadpanSnarker: Of the more obnoxious variety.
*TilMurderDoUsPart: Killed her third husband, Dr Browning.

!!Carmel Valentine (née [=McQueen=]

-->'''Duration''': 2006--

-->'''Portrayed by''': Gemma Merna

Compared to many members of her family, Carmel is normally morally sound. She's also gone through a fair number of careers, notably a Police Community Support Officer, a beautician, a gym instructor and a nun.

*DumbBlond: While nice and humorous, she is not that intelligent.
*WhiteSheep: While the [=McQueen=]'s aren't all outright evil, she tends to be the best morally.

!!John Paul [=McQueen=]

-->'''Duration''': 2006-2008, 2012--

-->'''Porrayed by''': James Sutton

Another one of the more moral members of the family. He was an English teacher but was raped by Finn O'Connor and then falsely accused of sexually harassing Robbie and sent to prison. Most of his stories resolve around his homosexuality but he's typically praised by LGBT groups.

*MaliciousMisnaming: Called "[=McQueer=]" by Finn and Robbie during their homophobic bullying.
*StraightGay: He's gay but not camp at all, which WordOfGod has revealed was an active decision.

!!Nana [=McQueen=] (first name Marlena)

-->'''Duration''': 2007-2009, 2012--

-->'''Portrayed by''': Diane Langton

The grandmother of the main [=McQueens=] and the family matriarch when she's present and Myra isn't. Is definitely on the darker side of the family with moves such as hitting on her granddaughter's boyfriend and benefit fraud.

-->'''Portrayed by''': Adam Booth (1996–97) Ashley Taylor Dawson (1999–)

!!Nancy Osborne (née Hayton)

-->'''Duration''':2005--

-->'''Portrayed by''': Jessica Fox

Her main storylines involved drug abuse, domestic abuse from Jake Dean and a love triangle involving Kris Fisher and Ravi Roy. She married Darren and gave birth to their son Oscar, who was deaf, although they eventually agreed to get him cochlear implants to let him hear. When her sister Becca Dean dies, she gets custody of Charlie Dean. Sienna steals Darren from her and gets her sectioned, convincing all but a select few that she is mentally ill and then tried to kill her. After Sienna is discovered, Nancy and Darren's relationship is unstable.

*HollywoodHealing: She receives brain damage from Sienna trying to kill her which, at first, makes her completely locked in. It takes about a month to completely go away.
