Hollyoaks - Theresa McQueen (played by Jorgie Porter)

Theresa McQueen, the golden girl of Hollyoaks. She first appeared in The Loft, during their 'school disco' night and ended up sleeping with Tony. Unknown to him, she was only 15 and should probably have been spending the evening at an actual school disco, rather than at a novelty night-club!

After such a controversial debut, you'd think she'd try to keep a low profile. Not our Treeze. After a one night stand with Calvin Valentine she fell pregnant and when Calvin rejected her she shot him dead - even though he'd just remarried her cousin Carmel!

The McQueen cat with nine lives, murder did not equal jail for Theresa - infact there was a long line of people willing to protect her, including Hollyoaks hardman Warren Fox. Who could blame them? Look at that little face!

Just when we thought we couldn't love Theresa even more, our heart strings were well and truly pulled when we discovered her mum Kathleen was a devious sort who didn't love her daughter and even tried to sell her kidneys! Poor Treeze...

Anyway, now a single mum to Kathleen Angel Theresa once again found herself slap bang in the middle of trouble (or rather a love quadrangle) when she fell for yet another badboy copper - Ethan Scott, who was also engaged to her best mate Liberty and secretly dating Theresa's other mate Rae!

Emerging from this relativlely unscathed, Theresa's next romance was a far less complicated affair (in terms of number of participants anyway), when sensitive Savage Will fell for her many charms. Little did either of them know that this put Theresa on the radar of murderous grandad Silas, who decided Theresa was a "slurrisome tart" who deserved to be killed!

Luckily for Theresa (though not so much for Rae), Silas changed his mind and she and Will finally got together. They were happy for a while, but sadly the worlds of students and single mums didn't mix well and they split up just before New Year.

Never one to be single for long, Theresa has since caught the eye of Joel who, just like his Dad, is irresistibly drawn to this perfect pint sized blonde. His tendency to lose his temper at the drop of a hat (he recently punched Will in a jealous rage) has put the brakes on them getting together for now.

What's more, Treeze also got pulses racing when she helped Jodie with her dance project and thus became briefly embroiled in the Dexie love saga.

Yep, that's Theresa: never far from trouble...
