List of Hollyoaks characters introduced in 2019

Mitchell Drinkwell-Deveraux (also Deveraux), portrayed by Imran Adams, first appears in episode 5100, broadcast on 8 February 2019. The character and Adams' casting details were announced on 16 December 2018. Mitchell is introduced as the son of established character Martine Deveraux (Kéllé Bryan). He is billed as "the popular new guy in town" who is levelheaded in his job as a trainee doctor. Despite having had a "strict upbringing", Mitchell is gentle and friendly. Adams has expressed his joy at joining the cast of ''Hollyoaks'' stating that he is "proud and grateful" to be a cast member. He added that it is a challenging job, which he described as "a rollercoaster of a ride" and "Acting Athletics".

Mitchell's introduction sees the character move into his cousin, Lisa Loveday's (Rachel Adedeji), flat with Martine and his grandfather, Walter Deveraux (Trevor A. Toussaint), annoying Lisa. Daniel Kilkelly of entertainment website ''Digital Spy'' reported that Mitchell would begin a relationship with a member of the McQueen family, later confirmed to be Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin). Mitchell appears as a stripper at a themed night in The Dog in the Pond public house, organised by Cleo's grandmother, Nana McQueen (Diane Langton); this leads to him asking Cleo on a date.

Producers developed the character by introducing his long-lost siblings, Toby Faroe (Bobby Gordon) and Celeste Faroe (Andrea Ali) in November 2019. In episodes broadcast in September 2019, it emerges that Mitchell has a twin brother, and in the soap's 2019 Christmas episodes, Toby is revealed to be his twin brother. Adams thought that Mitchell would be "quite emotional and confused" if he knew Toby's identity, but thought his "compassionate" nature would make him want to build a relationship with Toby. Toby resents Martine and Mitchell for the former's decision to keep Mitchell and not Toby. Gordon said that Toby and Celeste have "ulterior motives", but did not believe that they were villains. Writers developed the twist further by revealing that Celeste is also the sister of Toby and Mitchell, making them triplets. On 21 August 2020, it was announced that Adams would leave ''Hollyoaks'' at the end of his contract. The character departs in episode 5476, broadcast on 24 November 2020. His exit story sees him blackmailed into leaving the village by Toby and Celeste. Provided by Wikipedia
