Development

It was revealed on 17 April 2009 that former Hollyoaks producer Bryan Kirkwood would produce the show.[2][3]

On 3 August 2009, it was announced that Nicola Stapleton would play Savannah, the estranged friend of Cindy Cunningham.[4][5] The series will feature "an unlikely wedding", "the Ashworths attending a music festival", "a trip to London for the McQueen clan" and "a dramatic boot camp plot with Sarah, Zoë and Lydia which ends in tragedy".[5] On 15 August 2009, it was reported that Sarah, Zoë and Lydia would be involved in a storyline which sees the three characters skydiving, however one of the parachutes will be "sabotaged" by a jealous Lydia, which will lead to the death of either Sarah or Zoë.[6][7]

For the scenes inside the plane before the skydiving, the production team used a storage area in Tatenhill Airfield, Staffordshire.[6]

On 26 August 2009, it was announced singer Bonnie Tyler would guest in the series as herself.[8]

In September, the Hollyoaks website released a trailer for the series.[9] It was also revealed that Alison Burrows had been cast as Kathleen McQueen, the mother of Theresa.[10]

Theresa and Michaela McQueen set off to London where Theresa has an interview with a modelling agency. As they face living on the streets of London, Theresa decides to visit her mother.
