The Sun can exclusively reveal that serial killer Nico Blake’s daughter Victoria will soon arrive to reunite with her twisted family.
A source said: “When viewers last saw Victoria she was a baby being taken into care.
“But now she’s grown and it will emerge she’s being raised by evil DI Banks as his daughter.
“Her return to the village will certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons with the Blake family.
“It remains to be seen whether Victoria takes after her mother – or her great grandfather in the killer stakes.”
Victoria is being played by 9-year-old Harriet O’Shea. Harriet trains in Acting and Musical Theatre at the Kitty Watson Academy (KWA) in South Manchester and is represented by their in house agency Kitty & Co.
Nico was the daughter of twins Sienna Blake and Dodger Savage from before they knew they were siblings in Hollyoaks.
Her psychotic tendencies saw her become a classic Hollyoaks serial killer during her time in the village.
The troubled teen claimed three lives in the village with her adopted sister Carly Bradley becoming her first victim, her own grandfather Patrick Blake her second, and finally gangster Trevor Royle when she stabbed him on his wedding day.
She was seemingly killed off in 2016, burning to death in a fire – but two years later she made a shock return stalking her mum Sienna.

But when Sienna outsmarted her by faking her own death, Nico was revealed to be heavily pregnant.
After giving birth to daughter Victoria, she tried again to kill her mother – but Sienna got the upper hand and bludgeoned her daughter to death.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
