Juliet Nightingale (also Quinn) is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Niamh Blackshaw. Blackshaw made her first appearance as Juliet on 21 November 2018. Juliet is the half-sister of Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) and the daughter of Donna-Marie Quinn (Lucy-Jo Hudson), and was brought into the soap as part of the decision to expand the Quinn family. Juliet is initially portrayed as an aggressive, harsh character, but throughout her tenure, her vulnerable and emotional personality has been explored.

Her storylines in the programme have included bullying Brooke Hathaway (Tylan Grant), her relationship with Sid Sumner (Billy Price) which leads to the realisation that she is a lesbian, being groomed into selling drugs and forming an attraction to friend Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell). For her portrayal of Juliet, Blackshaw was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2019 Inside Soap Awards.

Casting and characterisation[]

The character and Niamh Blackshaw's casting details were announced on 4 September 2018. The reasoning behind Juliet's introduction was stated to be due to a decision to expand the existing Quinn family.[1] Juliet is introduced as a new Year 11 student at Hollyoaks High School, placing her in direct scenes with established characters Imran Maalik (Ijaz Rana), Oliver Morgan (Aedan Duckworth) and Brooke Hathaway (Tylan Grant).[2] She is billed as a "damaged and vulnerable young girl who lashes out at the world by bullying others".[3] Actress Blackshaw expressed her excitement at joining the cast and said that she was extremely grateful to receive the role.[3]

Prior to her debut appearance, Blackshaw stated that Juliet will bring drama, and that she will have a big presence on the soap. She explained that Juliet's mother "has always taught her to be the one on top, in order to survive".[4] She stated that Juliet has little interest in school, since she "doesn't see how it's going to help her get to where she wants to be in life".[4] Therefore, rather than being studious, she explained that Juliet chooses to procrastinate and disrupt "in as many ways as she can think of" to entertain herself, adding that her behaviour will have effects on other students.[4] Blackshaw concluded by saying that "Juliet has a lot to learn, and she's going to make a lot of mistakes before she starts settling down".[4] After Juliet's character is explored further, Blackshaw stated that she loves portraying her vulnerable side, and said that Juliet's aggressive behaviour is "just a façade".[5]

When asked what her favourite thing about Juliet is, Blackshaw replied that it is Juliet's ability to say "things that nobody else can".[6] She described her as "fierce" and "feisty", noting that she is "not afraid to call people out".[6] She admitted that her character can sometimes go too far with people, but opined that Juliet using her attitude in the right way is a good thing. Blackshaw expressed her love for Juliet, accrediting her feelings to having played her for so long. She stated that due to wearing her makeup and hair more than her own, this leads her to understand her character well. She felt that Juliet always "means well", and despite doing bad things, she always does them with "good intentions".[6] Blackshaw added that she likes being able to convey Juliet's heart-warming side alongside her aggressive side.[6]

Storylines[]

Juliet arrives in the Hollyoaks village and enrols as a student at Hollyoaks High in the same year group as Imran, Oliver and Brooke, and she begins to bully Brooke. After Donna-Marie informs her that that Mac Nightingale (David Easter) is her biological father, she becomes distressed and has a breakdown in the village. Unable to bottle her emotions, she angrily throws a brick through the school window. Juliet is then found out and is given repercussions for what she has done; her half-brother James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan), however, realises what's happened, and the reason behind her behaviour, leading her not to be expelled from Hollyoaks High. Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) learns of the events, and gives Juliet advice and attempts to cheer her up. Juliet misreads his actions, and forms an attraction to Darren, and is convinced he feels similarly. When his child with partner Mandy Richardson (Sarah Jayne Dunn) is being born, Juliet rushes into the hospital to say that Darren wants to be with her, to which he negates her claims. Juliet continues taking every opportunity to belittle and embarrass Brooke, including making her miss an important exam, causing her to collapse from sensory overload caused by Brooke's autism and trying to sabotage her relationship with Oliver. After Mac is murdered, Juliet learns that James has framed Donna-Marie for his murder, and that everyone else in her family knew. Feeling betrayed, she plans on leaving the village with Donna-Marie, until it is revealed that Mac was murdered by Breda McQueen (Moya Brady).

Juliet begins a relationship with Sid Sumner (Billy Price), and after Sid gets drugs from his cousin Jordan Price (Connor Calland), the pair are eventually manipulated into selling and delivering drugs for him. Juliet repeatedly tries to get herself and Sid out of the operation, but each time, she is forced into continuing by Jordan. Juliet begins to doubt their relationship when she does not want to have sex with Sid, who questions why she does not want to do anything sexual, and calls her frigid. Upset by his comment, she ends their relationship. Despite the pair being broken up, Jordan sends Juliet and Sid on a weekend trip outside of the village in order to sell more drugs, and while they are there, Juliet reveals to Jordan that she is a lesbian, and states that she has feelings for his foster sibling, Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell). Juliet purposely breaks ties with James and grandmother Marnie Nightingale (Lysette Anthony) in order to focus on her drug selling, and moves in with Peri, Sid and Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter). When Juliet learns that Jordan has a secret relationship with Peri, she warns her that he is not a good person, but Peri continues to date him. However, after Jordan is arrested for drug dealing, Juliet confesses her romantic feelings to Peri. Peri says that she does not feel the same way, and sees her as a little sister. Hurt by her comments, Juliet sets out to prove she is mature by working directly with Jordan's boss Victor Brothers (Benjamin O'Mahoney).

With Jordan in prison, Victor gives Juliet his "patch", and instructs her to recruit young children to deliver drugs. She reconciles her relationship with James and Marnie, and moves back in with them. She then recruits Charlie Dean (Charlie Behan) and Ella Richardson (Erin Palmer), but begins to feel pressured when she cannot meet Victor's targets. When she attends a party, Brooke asks Juliet to watch over Oliver and ensure he does not get drunk. Knowing she is a dealer, he asks Juliet for ketamine, to which she initially refuses. However, after Peri suspects she is selling drugs and insults her, she shares a bag of ketamine with Oliver and the pair have sex. Peri finds out, and tells Sid, who assumes she lied about being a lesbian. She explains that she is still gay, but had sex with him due to the drugs. Juliet affirms to Peri that she only wants her, but Peri leaves as she is too angry. Peri runs over Sid's leg while driving away, and Juliet blames herself for Sid having to get an amputation. Juliet plans to record a confession from Victor, but after he discovers her plan, he attacks her. He then tells her that he is going to kill somebody she loves. She ensures that Peri is safe, and tells her that she is going to hand herself in to the police. Peri tells Juliet that she will wait for her. Juliet remains in prison for three months, facing a sentence of seven years. She is freed when evidence of Victor grooming her is found. She tries to make amends with Charlie and headteacher Sally St. Claire (Annie Wallace), but lashes out when she receives judgement.

Development[]

Family issues[]

In January 2019, Juliet was revealed to be the daughter of Mac, linking her to the established Nightingale family.[7] After learning that James framed Donna-Marie for Mac's murder, Juliet makes plans to leave the village. Explaining her character's reasoning, Blackshaw stated: "Juliet is really angry, upset and very unforgiving. She's not happy at all! She doesn't like that she's been lied to by the people that she thought cared about her, like Romeo, James and Marnie. They all knew and she didn't. Also, I think she's a bit confused about Sid as well, so everything's just not great in the village. She just wants to get out, hoping it will solve a few problems."[8]

Fixation on Darren Osborne[]

After the events of her troubled family life, Juliet is seen to form an "inappropriate fixation" on Darren.[9] She forms a crush on him, believing that he feels the same way. Dawson, who portrays Darren, stated Darren "genuinely thinks he's helping" by becoming involved with Juliet, since the two bond over both having family issues. He also stated that Juliet had the potential to ruin Darren's life with accusations, since she is "a messed up little kid" with "all the power".[9] Blackshaw agreed with his comments, adding that the reasoning behind Juliet's obsession with Darren is due to not having a primary caregiver whilst growing up. She explained that this meant that when Darren gives Juliet advice and cheers her up, she "latches" onto him.[10] She also commented: "Darren is the first guy outside of her family that’s put himself out there and made himself available to her emotionally so she has latched on to that and taken it the wrong way completely. She genuinely thinks he likes her back, she really does. It just shows how naive she is and she genuinely has no doubt. His reaction is such a shock. I don't even think Mandy's on her mind."[10]

Bullying[]

Juliet begins to target Brooke, who is autistic, in a bullying storyline. Blackshaw explained that Juliet's motive is not to hurt Brooke, but to make herself feel better about her life. Blackshaw stated that due to be being bullied herself, it was therapeutic to switch the narrative and play a bully. She also noted that it was important for Hollyoks to show the vulnerability of autistic people, and praised co-star Tylan Grant, stating that she loves working with them. Blackshaw promised that Juliet would "learn from her mistakes" and "grow", as well as "develop a sense of right and wrong", and that viewers would "sympathise to an extent".[11] The storyline climaxes when the teenagers go to a festival together. Juliet's intention is to drink alcohol and have fun in the crowd, but due to Brooke having autism, Blackshaw explained that it "isn't Brooke's scene at all".[12] Juliet bullies her into joining her, and the scenes see Brooke collapse due to sensory overload. Blackshaw stated that her character is "used to being mean and spiteful to everyone", and is "messing up all the time and she keeps going back to the Juliet she was before, which means bullying the easiest target she can find."[12]

County lines and imprisonment[]

In November 2019, it was announced that Juliet would be involved in a long-running county lines drug trafficking storyline, alongside Sid and his cousin Jordan. Blackshaw stated that the reason she thinks Jordan begins to target Juliet is due to being "very confident and witty", while also being "very easy to manipulate".[13] She added that due to her childhood, she is "very experienced and informed".[13] As the storyline intensifies, Juliet is forced to distance herself from the Nightingale family, to focus on selling the drugs. Blackshaw stated that Juliet "thinks she's in control, but she's not – she's very vulnerable and naïve".[13] During the storyline, Juliet is arrested when she is found to have drugs in her possession. Blackshaw stated that her arrest is the turning point for Juliet, where she begins to "ask questions" and "make some decisions" about whether she wants to continue delivering drugs.[14] She stated that due to her growing up around risks, Juliet is not worried about going to prison, as she "knows she will be able to get through it", but that the arrest does leave Juliet "feeling awful", and wanting to quit the drug delivering, unbeknownst to Juliet how deep into the operation she is.[14]

When asked about her feelings on Juliet's style, Blackshaw joked that she often looks at Juliet's clothing in distaste, but explained that she is "finding herself".[6] As part of the county lines storyline, Juliet was given a makeover. In the first two years of her tenure on Hollyoaks, Juliet was known to keep her light brown hair in a tight high side ponytail, which Blackshaw stated made her "feel like a young teen".[13] In an episode broadcast on 31 December 2019, it showed Juliet a year in advance, on 31 December 2020, with dark brown loose hair, and wearing street style clothing.[15] On making the decision, Blackshaw said that she did not mind dying her hair darker, since she had dyed it before, but joked that she was glad to "get rid of the side ponytail", and that she was excited for herself and her character to have a change.[16] She noted that the dark, loose hair would make Juliet "look a bit older", and that people would treat her differently, as a reflection of the storyline.[13] After the style change, Blackshaw described that her style is "really cool", and expressed her gratitude that she gets to wear tracksuits and jumpers. Despite liking the change, she noted that filming with loose hair is difficult when it is windy.[6]

Victor orders Juliet to find new recruits for to sell drugs, and she blackmails Ella into joining the organisation.[17] As she becomes more desperate to leave the drug business, she plans to record Victor confessing to his crimes. However, the plan takes a "very dark turn" when Victor attacks Juliet, after he discovers she is recording.[18] He then informs Juliet that he will kill somebody that she loves.[18] She then decides to hand herself over to the police, and is jailed.[19] She is freed over three months later, after evidence is gathered that she was groomed. Blackshaw stated that once Juliet is in prison, "reality kicked in that she might not get out".[20] She explained that when Juliet handed herself in, "she knew what was going to happen", but believed that they would be more lenient with her since she is young.[20] Blackshaw labelled her character a victim, and voiced her wishes for Juliet to have happiness. She explained that Juliet has "been through so much bad stuff", and deserves to have happiness.[20] However, she noted that since it is a soap, it will be "a rocky road!".[20] She expressed her excitement at Juliet getting to "grow some more and have some adventures".[6]

Sexuality[]

Another exploration of Juliet's character that was featured in the New Year's Eve "flashforward" was her sexuality, when scenes showed her confessing her love for Peri, and kissing her. Duncan Lindsay of Metro confirmed that the scene would be explored further in a year-long arc that would show her switching from her feelings from Sid to Peri.[21] Blackshaw stated that it was a surprise for both her and viewers, as prior to the scene airing, it had never been suggested that Juliet liked women romantically. She was told about the storyline "a few months" prior, and was glad that it was not "sprung" onto her so that she could prepare accordingly for the storyline. She added that she has numerous non-heterosexual friends, and that it is "great to represent the LGBTQ+ community."[22] Four months later, scenes were aired showing Juliet coming out to Sid as a lesbian.[23]

Relationships[]

Blackshaw stated that Juliet's relationship with her family is complicated.[13] She stated that Juliet loves half-brother Romeo "more than anything", but that their relationship changes as the pair get older, due to Juliet realising that Romeo is "busy living his own life", which isolates Juliet and makes her feel lonely.[13] Blackshaw also stated that despite Juliet loving mother Donna-Marie, she "finds it hard to cope with her when she puts her addictions above her children".[13] Despite Donna-Marie constantly letting Juliet down, Blackshaw said that Juliet "never loses hope that one day her mum will stop taking drugs, get a job and look after her".[13] Juliet is exposed to more family after she becomes linked to the Nightingale family, forming bonds with Marnie and James. However, when it is revealed that James framed Donna-Marie for Mac's murder and that everyone in the family knew but her, she loses her trust in them, especially Romeo. Blackshaw explained that his betrayal hurt her the most, saying: "He's been her rock and now she's been betrayed by him as well. It's like the final loss in her life, and it just drives her down a dark path, because she's got no-one left."[8]

When Juliet joins Hollyoaks High, she is in the same year group as Imran, Oliver and Brooke. Blackshaw stated that upon their initial interactions with each other, they do not like each other due to Juliet's "attempt to prove that she's tough and not to be messed with", which leads to people disliking her.[12] She also noted that Brooke is an "easy target" for Julet, who "naps up any opportunity she has to put Brooke down".[12] Blackshaw explained that Juliet's intention is not to hurt Brooke, but rather to make herself feel better due to her issues at home, and that Juliet "does really like Brooke as a friend, but her main problem is that she doesn't know how to treat friends because she's never had them before."[12] Imran and Oliver see the way that Juliet bullies Brooke, and in turn do not want to be associated with her, until she redeems her behaviour.[4] Scenes in April 2019 see Brooke attempt to set Juliet up with Imran, sending the pair on a date where Juliet attempts to kiss Imran. Blackshaw stated that Imran is "not Juliet's type" and that Juliet does not know enough about Imran, nor is Imran interested in her romantically, but that Juliet only tries to kiss him due to liking "the idea of having someone".[10] Blackshaw added that she "just wants to grow up with knowing the concept of actually liking someone."[10]

Juliet's first romantic connection is with classmate Sid, with whom she begins a relationship with. However, when Juliet does not feel ready to have sex with him, he labels her frigid. This leads to Juliet questioning their relationship and her sexuality in general, and the pair break up. Sid confesses that he still loves her, and she confides in him that she is a lesbian. Blackshaw noted that at that point, their dynamic changed from a romantic one to that of a friendship. She stated that Juliet and Sid have a "really good friendship", and are "soul mates rather than lovers", with "no romance between them".[5] Blackshaw added that their breakup was inevitable as "it's very rare that the first person you love is the person you end up with", and that rather than people continuing to ship them together, they should "be happy because Juliet is finding a new love, even if it's not in the place they expected".[22] When the pair became involved in the county lines storyline, Blackshaw stated that without Sid supporting her, Juliet would "crumble", adding: "it's only because the two of them work as a team that they're able to go to a local party, and they manage to do what is asked of them."[24]

Ruby O'Donnell portrays Peri Lomax, Juliet's onscreen love interest.

When asked who cares for Juliet the most, she replied that Sid does. She explained that despite having other connections, Sid would "probably die for her".[6] When Sid fakes his death in order to aid freeing her from prison, Blackshaw explained that Juliet is "absolutely devastated" to hear of his death, describing Sid as her platonic soulmate.[20] Since the last time Juliet saw Sid was when Jordan had been stabbed, Blackshaw said it made Juliet think "When was the last time I gave him a hug?".[20] When he is revealed to be alive, Blackshaw commented: "it wasn't as much relief as it was: "How flipping dare he! Why would he put me through that absolute trauma of that, and not tell me? Why was I not the number one person that knew?!"[20] She agreed with her character, and said that Juliet should have been told that it was fake. When asked if her relationship with Peri would affect her friendship with Sid, she replied that being in a relationship should not mean losing friends. She continued: "I don't think Sid will be lost, and I do think they will continue to be bezzy mates going forward, and hopefully maybe she'll find him someone!"[20]

In December 2019, it was confirmed that a relationship would develop between Juliet and Peri. Blackshaw stated that at the point of filming their first romantic scene together, she did not know the exact details of how the pair got together, but she knew that a relationship would eventually develop.[5] She added that she loves working with O'Donnell, who portrays Peri, and that the pair enjoy filming together.[22] O'Donnell echoed Blackshaw's comments, stating that she "loves" their storyline, and that the pair had "both already seen loads of fan accounts for Peri and Juliet".[25] After the pair were involved in a second kissing scene, Digital Spy confirmed that their relationship will continue to develop.[24] The couple have since been referred to by the portmanteau 'Jeri'.[26] Following Juliet's release from prison, Blackshaw stated that "it's the biggest relief in the world" for her character to be reunited with Peri.[20] She joked that the pair "can't even walk casually" when they see each other, and run to one another.[20] She added: "it's been a long, long wait, and when it happens, it was just a million times better than what she imagined it would be".[20] Blackshaw explained that having Peri waiting for her helped to "motivate her and push her through" was a beneficial aspect for her character.[20] She also voiced her excitement at Juliet starting her "first proper relationship", and hoped that their relationship would continue for the "long run", since it is a positive thing for Juliet having just been released.[20]

Reception[]

Upon the announcement of her casting, Johnathon Hughes, writing for the Radio Times, thought that the character's name was unsurprising due to her brother being called Romeo.[2] Blackshaw stated that upon her arrival in the soap, Juliet was "not particularly liked" due to her brash characterisation. Over time, viewer opinion began to change, which Blackshaw owed to scenes showing her family life and "nice moments with Marnie".[12] She stated that Juliet "deserves some bad feedback" after the bullying storyline, adding: "if you do something bad, you deserve some repercussions". She stated that some viewers would question Blackshaw on why Juliet is bullying Brooke, but said that "it was nice" that other viewers could see it was due to Juliet being bullied herself.[12] For her portrayal of Juliet, Blackshaw was nominated for two awards at the 2019 Inside Soap Awards; Best Newcomer and Best Partnership alongside Lysette Anthony, who portrays grandmother Marnie.[11]
