As Lupe

Lupe, as the new one, is the onion. The boys learn very quickly that there are many layers to her but that peeling away the layers can often end in tears. A lot of people – mainly the girls around The Boys – know a lot of rumours about Lupe, but very few of these have ever been actually confirmed. There is a big ence around Lupe and she does not let people in easily. Eventually, when the boys have earned the right to know they will find out that Lupe is the only daughter of a solo mother and a Māori father and that she worries that solo-motherhood is the future for her. Hence the fence; hence the desire to bop away her troubles and forget. About Lilo (18): Born in the small village in France, Lilo immigrated to Aoteroa when she was 8 years old, with her Kiwi father and French mother. She admits she’d always desired to be an actor, but never thought it would happen. When a family friend suggested the name of an agent and recommended she approach them, she said ok.. And here we are! Lilo has also had guest roles on the award-winning rugby drama Head High and the second series of BBC series Mystic. Lilo is an accomplished dancer - having been part of the group Saints Dance Academy since 2016.
