Hollyoaks<\/a> star Jorgie Porter has revealed there are certain Theresa McQueen scenes that she struggles with. The actor welcomed her second child<\/a>, daughter Peony<\/a>, back in December 2024, and also has a son called Forest, whom she gave birth to two years before.<\/p>\n

The star \u2013 who recently returned to the soap<\/a> after her maternity leave \u2013 has now admitted that she couldn’t be more different to her on-screen character when it comes to parenting, explaining that she has to “fight against” certain plot points based on her natural instincts.<\/p>\n

“Well, Theresa just left the country all the time, so she kind of didn’t really raise her children,” she told The Mirror<\/a>. “I have to fight against things, because Theresa is so different and not the greatest mum.<\/p>\n

“I have to call upon my thoughts and remember that Theresa wouldn’t do things a certain way, whereas I really would. So it\u2019s a fight between acting it out as me or as Theresa.”<\/p>\n

Speaking further about how Hollyoaks has given her glimpses of the future teenage years, Jorgie shared: “Theresa’s dealing with a different type of parenting at the minute. So it’s like the future, and I’m actually asking other people what’s happening now at this age, because I’m not there yet.<\/p>\n

“The script of what\u2019s happening is not how I would handle things if it was me and my children. So there’s future moments, and actually I should have taken notes with Theresa sooner.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, last year the star explained the sweet reason why herself and fianc\u00e9 Oliver Piotrowski had chosen the name Peony for their daughter.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019d not heard of anyone with the name Peony and I love the flowers, they\u2019re so beautiful,” she told OK!<\/a> during an interview. “But we were literally desperate to tell people her name before someone else had a baby and chose it before us! We didn\u2019t give her a middle name because she\u2019s Peony Porter Piotrowski which is already quite a lot for a kid to say, isn\u2019t it?”<\/p>\n

Jorgie added: “Honestly, it was the longest time. Margot Robbie had her baby about a week after she announced her pregnancy \u2013 I was pregnant for what felt like 100 years! The trouble was that my bump popped really early so I couldn\u2019t hide it.”<\/p>\n

Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming<\/a> premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.<\/p>\n

Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
