Geri Hudson is a fictional character from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Joanna Taylor.

[5] A Soaplife reporter revealed that one of Geri's first stories would feature her feeling "the long arm of the law after a spot of naked night-riding.

"[5] Taylor participated in a Switzerland based location shoot for episodes featuring Geri and the students enjoying a skiing holiday.

[1] In the book Phil Redmond's Hollyoaks: The Official Companion, author Matthew Evans described Geri as "without a doubt one of the most gutsy and larger-than-life characters in the show.

[12] Adam secretly installs hidden cameras into the student flat as part of his idea to create a film for an assignment.

[14] Brown told All About Soap's Babb that Geri makes it her goal to "manipulate the camera as much as possible" and succeeds in "stirring up all sorts of trouble" for Izzy and Adam.

Brown added that Adam is "really annoyed" with Geri when he realises her scheming and fails to recognise "the human element behind the film he is making".

Geri hooked up with Rory Finnigan (James Redmond), but was dropped by him when he returned to Carol Groves (Natalie Casey).

Spurned by Adam, Geri formed a hatred for Izzy, which continued until just before she left Hollyoaks, when they finally reconciled their differences.

It was on holiday with her mother, the irrepressible Jacqui, which Geri met and fell for the football ace, Jason Cunliffe (Alex Reid).

This relationship reached a climax in the video/DVD, 'Hollyoaks: Indecent Behaviour', when Geri saw Jason’s true colours as he was unfaithful to her and then turned a blind eye when his team-mate, Scott Anderson (Daniel Hyde) attempted to force himself on her.

As she left for the airport, Geri drove through Hollyoaks Village one last time and bid a tearful farewell.

[7] He concluded that by the time she left Geri had created "indelible memories" and "millions of viewers were sad to bid farewell to her.

[21] Claire Tolley from the Liverpool Echo described Geri as "Hollyoaks biggest flirt and man-eater [who] spends the majority of her time in the soap getting one over on her love rivals.

"[22] John Kelly from Wicklow People assessed that "Geri's wedding turns out to be a riotous affair ending up with the bride and her mother leaving for the honeymoon without the groom.

"[23] Soaplife's Genower wrote that "as a girl with an eye for the men, Hollyoaks' Geri Hudson hasn't always had the best of luck in the romance stakes... She slept with Finn, only for him to dump her for Carol, then she fell for Adam Morgan during his doomed fling with teacher Christine.
