Viv (Velile Tshabalala)

Viv is the ex-girlfriend of Felix Westwood, with whom she shares son DeMarcus. In September 2021, DeMarcus managed to track down Felix after he disappeared, with Viv agreeing to allow him to move in with the Deveraux family.
In November 2021, Viv arrived in Hollyoaks to confront the Deveraux family after learning from teacher John Paul McQueen that DeMarcus had been failing to turn up to school. Felix going missing and The Cunningham Grande Bazaar stallholder Nate Denby accusing DeMarcus of shoplifting proved to be the final straw, and Viv demanded that DeMarcus returned home with her.
However, the next day, Martine Deveraux attempted to convince Viv to let DeMarcus stay. Having spoken with Nate, DeMarcus assured his mother that he was going to change his ways. Viv eventually agreed, and DeMarcus took Viv to the train station as she returned to Manchester. In July 2022, Viv called Felix to tell him that she was taking DeMarcus back to Manchester, but DeMarcus refused to leave. In April 2023, Viv told DeMarcus that she was considering moving to the United States, completing her move by late May 2023.
