Duncan Button is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera ''Hollyoaks'', played by Dean Aspen. He debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 2 November 2009. Duncan was originally credited as Duncan Smith until he was credited with Button. In May 2011, it was announced that Aspen had quit his role and Duncan departed the series on 11 November 2011. Aspen reprised his role as Duncan for the sixth series of Hollyoaks Later in October 2013. ==Character creation and casting== In July 2009, at the ''Hollyoaks'' Press Day series producer Lucy Allan revealed that a mysterious character called Duncan would arrive in the village. In October 2009, it was revealed that Duncan would be the godson of established characters Neville (Jim Millea) and Suzanne Ashworth (Suzanne Hall). In the same month it was announced that ''Hollyoaks'' series producer Lucy Allan had cast television newcomer Dean Aspen in the role of Duncan. To prepare for the role, Aspen revealed that he has to shave every day, as well as having to put on a stone and a half in weight. In January 2010, it was announced that Lucy Allan had stepped down from the position of series producer and that Paul Marquess had taken over the role. It was soon revealed that Marquess planned to give ''Hollyoaks'' a "shake up", changing the production team and beginning a cast cull by axing three established characters - Neville, Suzanne and Josh Ashworth (Sonny Flood). As well as the axings, Emma Rigby who played Hannah had chosen to quit the previous year, bowing out in February 2010. However, it was revealed that the character of Duncan would remain in the series after the Ashworth’s departure along with Rhys Ashworth (Andrew Moss), the family's eldest son. In May 2011 it was announced that Aspen had decided to leave the serial in order to pursue other projects. Discussing his departure Aspen said: "I have had an absolutely brilliant time playing Duncan - I feel like Hollyoaks have paid me to laugh, but, after two years, I really feel the time is right for a new challenge."〔 In September 2013, it was revealed through spoiler pictures that Aspen had reprised his role as Duncan for the sixth series of Hollyoaks Later, which would air during early October. It was shown that Duncan would be training in the army alongside central character, Louie McQueen (Bryan Parry) as his cousin and Duncan's friend Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) visits them.〔http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s182/hollyoaks-later/news/a519702/hollyoaks-duncan-button-returns-in-later-first-look-pictures.html#~ppjIT5xYcTuFSv〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duncan Button」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
