Taken from the Hollyoaks.com forum, also on a Fay Ripley fansite...

Cold Feet star Fay Ripley is to make a special guest appearance in teen hit soap Hollyoaks later this year. Ripley who played Jenny Gifford in the ITV1 show will turn up in the Chester village as mother of troubled and dozy teen Bombhead (Lee Ottoway). "This will be the first time we see any of Bombhead's parents, but we are writing the character into a storyline involving Bombhead's sexuality" confirmed an MTV insider, "We think she fits the bill perfectly, she will join us on set in October and the scenes will go out in the run up to our Christmas storyline". This is not the first time Hollyoaks have had a guest appearance, earlier this year supermodel Caprice joined the cast in the late-night spin off After hours, and Pop Idol loser Darius appeared a few years back performing "Girl On The Moon". Channel 4 refused to comment on the storyline but did say "Hollyoaks will be un-missable in the coming months, we have the full circle going on, Birth, Love, Marriage and Death"

I knew Bombhead was on the turn especially with hair like that - but has anyone noticed they have changed his personality as well as his appearance ???

I'm getting pretty strong gay vibes from the new character Liam (but i could be wrong).

I think they should have given the storyline to another actor, as i can't take Lee Ottoway serious - although he is a good comedy character.

Didn't Sally Hunter and Frankie Dean both start off as cameo roles and then they progressed into proper characters ??

Bombhead is gay? Mind you I did always wonder. I hardly see Hollyoaks during the week but when I did watch it he used to really get on my nerves, I see he has been toned down a bit as of late, possibly trying to make him a bit more mature, if thats possible lol

Yeah i suspect thats why Willhung.

I think that the storyline would have worked better with either Joe, Cameron, Justin or the new bloke Liam - but Bombhead just seems to OTT to take seriously ever.

I thought Cameron would have been the ideal choice for a storyline such as this, but then again I kind of see where Hollyoaks are coming from, Corrie just did a huge gay storyline with Todd Grimshaw. Todd Grimshaw and Cameron could be seen to be quite similar, whereas Bombhead is a totally different kettle of fish to Todd. Thats what I think anyways. I'll be interested to see how they handle this one.
