Matthew "Matt" Musgrove is a fictional character from the long-running Channel 4 soap opera Brookside, and later Hollyoaks, played by Kristian Ealey. After his initial appearance in Brookside, the character transferred as a regular on its sister show Hollyoaks. Kristian Ealey died on 3 May 2016, aged 38.[1]

Brookside

Matt first appears on Brookside Close when he and his family move into Number 8 in October 1998. During his time on the close, Matt befriends Tim O'Leary, Leo Johnson and his cousin Jerome. Matt becomes involved in marijuana, and various fights. Matt's older brother, Luke is accused of raping neighbour Nikki Shadwick, which leads to a feud between the Musgrove and Shadwick families. In early 2000, The Musgroves leave Brookside Close due to Luke's confession to raping Nikki.

Hollyoaks

In February 2000, Matt moves to Hollyoaks village in Chester as a janitor at Hollyoaks Community College, where he becomes close friends with Theo Sankofa and Alex Bell. He then falls for student and radio show host Chloe Bruce. However, he is not keen on asking Chloe out as he feels that she may dislike him due to his occupation. Therefore, Matt decides to phone her on her radio show and pretend to be someone else. When Matt finally reveals himself, Chloe is disappointed – leaving Matt's worst fears confirmed.

Despite this setback, Chloe decides to give Matt a chance and the pair become a couple. The relationship is going well, until Chloe has self-image issues and begins to push Matt away. This results in the pair breaking up, which leaves Matt disappointed due to his love for her. Matt ends up having a one-night stand with new student Eve Crawford, but he is reluctant not to carry on with the relationship, as it is Chloe who he wants to be with. Eventually, Matt and Chloe get back together, as Matt supports her through her problems. Matt eventually proposes to Chloe. The pair become engaged and Chloe's demands for the wedding prove to be expensive. However, Matt is adamant to give her the best wedding ever. He turns to The Loft owner Scott Anderson, and soon becomes involved in Scott's counterfeit money scam. Matt manages to pay for the wedding with counterfeit money, but it proves costly. On his wedding day, the police turn up and Chloe learns the truth about Matt's dealings with Scott. Knowing about Matt lies, Chloe decides she does not want to go through with the wedding, leaving Matt to face the police on his own. Matt makes a brief return in August 2004 in order to win Chloe back. Chloe considers at it at first but ultimately she refuses and leaves Matt on the platform as she boards the train to London.

Matt makes a brief return in 2004, in the late night spin-off Hollyoaks: After Hours, where he is working as a sailor and helps Ben Davies, Jake Dean, Joe Spencer and Dan Hunter escape from a mob who are running after them.

Mark is a student at Hollyoaks High School. He is a cruel, spiteful bully, who takes special delight in tormenting classmate, Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy). At a football training session, Luke inadvertently injures Mark's leg. Mark is angered when he learns that his injury means he will never play football professionally. While recovering in hospital, Mark decides to get even with Luke by calling his brothers to beat him up. Mark and his friends continue to trouble Luke when he is training; however, with help from Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson), Luke puts Mark in his place.

During the late night special Hollyoaks: Breaking Boundaries, Mark and his friends beat Luke up in the changing rooms after a football match. The group chase Luke through the streets of Chester. Mark rapes Luke over the bonnet of his car while his horrified friends look on. The following day, Mark calls round to the Morgan house to see Luke and denies that he raped him. Luke reports the rape to the police and Mark is arrested and charged. The case goes to trial and Luke courageously testifies. Mark lies in court, claiming that Luke is making it all up. Mark is found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison.

Eighteen years later, Mark is walking along the river in Chester and is spotted by Luke. Mark is now married and has two children. His wife, Jenna Gibbs (Laura Hopper), has no idea he is a rapist and instead believes he was in prison for GBH. Mark receives a message expressing interest in buying his car from him a woman named Nancy (Jessica Fox), who is actually Luke using his friend's picture. When Mark's home is broken into, he goes to speak to the police and sees Nancy, who does not recognize him. When Mark sees Nancy with Luke he puts everything together. Mark shows up at the Osborne house and confronts Luke. Luke admits he broke into Mark's house and that he spoke to Jenna. Luke brings up the rape and Mark shows no remorse for what he did. Mark warns Luke that if he does not stay away from his family he will do much worse to him. Luke follows Mark into the village and emotionally explains how the rape has ruined his life. Mark says he paid for the crime by going to prison. Luke tells him that he just wants him to acknowledge what he did and apologise. When Jenna arrives, Luke tells her that Mark raped him. Jenna runs off and Mark asks Luke why he just could not leave that one night in the past. Luke tells Mark he did it all to himself.
