Biography[]

2021-2022: Arrival[]

Honour meets Warren

Honour meets Longmere Prison inmate Warren Fox.

Honour arrived in the village with her Chen-Williams family in December 2021, accepting a job as a psychologist at Longmere Prison. Honour's first job was with Warren Fox, an inmate accused of the murder of Timmy Simons. She convinced Warren to open up, resulting in him insisting that he did not kill Timmy but did murder his best friend. A panicked Warren attempted to backtrack, but Honour agreed to keep quiet. However, matters were complicated by a break-in at 3 Oakdale Drive, Flat 4, in which the session transcriptions were stolen.

In January 2022, Honour was left stunned to learn that Dave's long-lost daughter Maxine Minniver resided in the village. After being confronted by Warren, Honour learned that Dave had interacted with Maxine, but blackmailed Warren over his secret to prevent him from telling her and Dave's children. However, she told Dave that he should secretly get to know Maxine. After Honour's daughter Serena and Dave's daughter Lizzie caught Dave and Maxine together, they confronted Dave and learned the truth about Maxine. Serena's relationship with Honour was put under strain upon Honour's revelation that she already knew.

Episode 5821

Honour and Liberty get competitive.

After seeing how hurt Dave was by being rejected by all of his children (aside from Mason), Honour made Lizzie and Serena see things from Dave's point of view. They, in turn, convinced Maxine to give Dave another chance, which she did. Dave and Honour then decided to make more friends within the village, but Honour in particular struggled to get along with couples Grace Black and Saul Reeves, and Damon Kinsella and Liberty Savage. However, she made friends with Cindy Cunningham after Cindy - also struggling with the death of Luke Morgan - accused Mason of breaking into 3 Oakdale Drive, Flat 3 and watching her sleep.

2022-2023: Family Troubles[]

A strain was placed on Dave and Honour's marriage when Honour's step-son Sam Chen-Williams discovered that Dave's late wife Flora Williams had successfully taken a restraining order out against him in 2002. Honour's confrontation coincided with the arrival of her sister Mei Lian Chen, brother-in-law Meng Chye Leong and niece Shing Lin Leong, who Honour had called to help Mason through an identity crisis. Meng Chye and Mei Lian managed to reconcile the pair after Dave revealed that Flora refused a divorce (rendering his marriage to Honour bigamous) and manipulated the court for the restraining order. However, as Mei Lian confessed to Meng Chye that she lost their savings in a scam, Shing Lin moved in with Dave and Honour.

Honour searches Masons phone 2023

Honour discovers Mason's photo of Leah.

Mason was left hospitalised in an attack by Charlie Dean in January 2023, which lead to Dave and Honour discovering that Mason had been indoctrinated into a misogynistic chatroom by Eric Foster. As Eric took Serena and Lizzie hostage in The Dog in the Pond, Honour and Dave discovered that Mason had taken and shared inappropriate photographs of Ella Richardson and Leah Barnes. Dave and Honour's decision not to inform Sam or the police caused tensions with Lizzie and Serena. As Lizzie came round, Serena handed the laptop into the police (resulting in Mason being charged) before leaving the village for Shanghai, left disappointed in her family. Things got worse with Honour when she slapped Eric whilst visiting him in prison, resulting in Longmere Prison terminating their contract. When Dave asked her to remarry him, Honour said no and wondered if she could remain with Dave. She then quit her student counsellor job at Hollyoaks High School.

Honour and Dave's marital problems began affecting their children. Tony's attempts to fix their issues resulted in Dave realising that Honour was considering leaving him and taking up a lecturing job at a London University, and Dave turned on her. Honour ended up trying to kiss Tony and tried to keep it secret from Dave, which didn't last long. During yet another argument, Honour announced that she had decided to leave Dave. Shing Lin and Mason decided to remain with Dave, so Honour decided to visit Mei Lian in Malaysia before her move to London.

I love all of you. So much!
— Last line, to her family before departure.

What makes the perfect parent? The truth is, there's no such thing as the perfect parent. We learn from the mistakes we've made. Which, at the end of the day, is truly a gift.
