Rayne is keeping a big secret – one that ‘haunts’ her every day, apparently (Picture: Lime Pictures)

Much like every great Hollyoaks character, Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan) is harbouring a big secret, with the latest episode of the serial drama confirming such a thing.

The newcomer, who rocked up in the eponymous village earlier this year, has made quite they impression on everyone she has crossed paths with.

Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner), however, has particularly been taken with her, having found himself smitten and desperate for a relationship, but his recklessness in accusing her of giving him an STI has firmly put the nail in the coffin of any future romance.

Rayne accepted Romeo’s apologies over what happened during Monday’s (March 6) first look offering of the Channel 4 soap, but reiterated that they can never have a future together, as she promised her online followers that she’d dumped him following their fallout.

Lacey Lloyd (Annabelle Davis) quizzed Rayne on how the break up went, with Rayne admitting that she’s still got feelings for Romeo, but Lacey was quick to reassure her pal that keeping away from Romeo is ‘for the best’ commenting that he had a ‘lucky escape’ after ‘what happened last time’.

A secret confirmed.

‘That secret may be buried’, added Rayne, ‘but it still haunts me everyday’.

Consider us very intrigued. Rayne is clearly harbouring a big secret, the question is: just what is it? And what’s more, how bad are we talking?

We also can’t help but wonder if it’s got something to do with the gloved stalker who was watching Rayne and Romeo from afar last week. Could she perhaps have an obsessed fan who is following her and tracking her every move?

Jemma Donovan, who plays Rayne, told Metro.co.uk earlier this year that there is ‘more to come’ for her character, and it appears as if this is truly the beginning of what she was talking about.

‘I think [it] is going to be really fun and interesting for the audience,’ said the former Neighbours star of what the future holds for Rayne. ‘This is just the beginning. There is more to come, for sure.’

Hollyoaks continues Tuesday March 7 at 7pm on E4, or stream the next episode from midnight on All4.
