The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks in 2006, in order of first appearance.
Amy Barnes
Mike Barnes
Mike Barnes is a fictional character from the soap opera Hollyoaks, played by famous Coronation Street actor, Tony Hirst.
Michaela McQueen
Ste Hay
Wayne Tunnicliffe
Wayne Tunnicliffe, played by Joe Marsden, made his first appearance in 2005. He was introduced as one of Ste Hay's friends. Ste was interested in Amy Barnes, while Wayne dated Michaela McQueen. Wayne was only interested in her because she was "easy" and after a few months he dumped her via text message.
Wayne and Ste befriended Josh Ashworth and his cousin Fletch to get close to Josh's sister Hannah Ashworth (they gave up because Hannah was always out with friends). A nastier moment arrived when Ste and Wayne began bullying Nicole Owen after her brother Sam blew up the Dog in the Pond. They eventually pretended to care about her, taking her to the woods, getting her drunk, and planning to rape her. She threw herself on the ground, sobbing and telling them to get on with it, and they left her alone.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Hollyoaks characters introduced in 2006” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6573336. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 2005.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
