Anne "Mitzeee" Minniver is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Rachel Shenton.

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.

[3] Marquess later revealed to Inside Soap that he had previously created the character for a different series that had never been commissioned and decided to incorporate her into Hollyoaks.

[6] Speaking of her audition for Mitzeee, Shenton stated during an interview with entertainment website Digital Spy: "This role came up and I thought, 'Yep, brilliant - this is a good time to do this.'

[8] Before the character had appeared on-screen Shenton received media attention for her image, with tabloids reporting on her likeness to Cheryl Cole and branded it as an attempt to 'sex up' the serial.

"[10] Lime Pictures publicity describe Mitzeee as a "21-year-old aspiring glamour model [...] she has a few big secrets up her sleeve [...] likely to cause havoc in the village, and break many hearts along the way!

[7] At the time of her arrival Shenton praised her stating: "I think that's really current because there are so many people, particularly young girls, who really want that and it is their goal.

"[14] She also made references to Mitzeee's upbringing, and claimed that viewers would see a "different side" to the character during the third series of Hollyoaks Later.

[16] Neil Cooper (Tosin Cole) eventually admits to being her admirer but the strange gifts continue, leaving Mitzeee worried and paranoid.

[21] Speaking to Inside Soap, Shenton revealed "So many horrible things have happened to Mitzeee - she's so far removed from the girl she was six months ago.

[21] Shenton said that all of the latest trouble's in Mitzeee's life has ruled out any possibility of returning to her "glamour past" and that being framed for attempted murder has "hardened her".

[22] Speaking to a Daily Star reporter, Shenton said that "When she first arrived a year ago, she was this ditzy glamour model with big hair.

[25] It was announced that Eamonn Holmes would appear in a guest role for Shenton's exit and that Carl Costello (Paul Opacic) would also return for the storyline.

It was revealed that Shenton's exit storyline would feature Carl returning to seek justice for Riley's death and that he would enlist Mitzeee in helping him punish Walker (Neil Newbon).

[23] An official statement by Hollyoaks teased the character's exit, saying: "Mitzeee and Eamonn's collaboration is a must-see and marks Rachel Shenton's departure from the show.

[25] She added that she was pleased with her exit storyline which she had no influence over and instead left completely to the writers as she wanted "to see how Mitzeee's journey went" for herself.

She explained that when she was told of Mitzeee's exit storyline she felt it was "just perfect" as it was "just so fitting" and it contained "every single emotion into that last week".

[25] Shenton opined that during her time on Hollyoaks Mitzeee had begun to feel almost "like a very good friend, as odd as that sounds!

Mitzeee then decided to be with him whilst on a night out and they had a passionate one-night stand so she seeks Heidi to resume her plan of revenge.

[8] Mitzeee first arrives as a PA for The Loft promotion and rapidly befriends Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson), Rhys Ashworth (Andrew Moss) and Duncan Button (Dean Aspen).

Mitzeee causes trouble for Carl as she tells him all about his daughter Jasmine Costello's (Victoria Atkin) relationship with Bart McQueen (Jonny Clarke).

Mitzeee convinces Riley Costello (Rob Norbury) to let her attend a cage fighting party and an after-party at a footballer's house with him.

She takes Nancy Hayton (Jessica Fox), who has agreed to write an article on the night, and heavily pregnant Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) with her.

Mitzeee makes many failed attempts at seducing footballers and is jealous over Theresa's romance with Logan Fairhurst (Thomas Sean Hughes).

When Mitzeee's mother, Trish, is imprisoned, Ethan Scott (Craig Vye) agrees to release her if she gets a confession from Warren admitting to the murder of Louise Summers (Roxanne McKee).

Warren discovers that Mercedes Fisher (Jennifer Metcalfe) is having an affair with Carl and wants to blackmail them for money, but Mitzeee is concerned for Riley.

Nevertheless, when Carl uninvites Mitzeee from the wedding she aids Warren in his blackmail by writing about the affair in her book but later feels guilty when Heidi re-invites her.

When Heidi is murdered by her father, Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle), Mitzeee hides her upset by looking after the Costello children.

When Mercedes threatens to kill herself and Bobby, Riley is forced to phone Mitzeee and tell her he no longer loves her.

She considers and then agrees to it and after an emotional farewell with Maxine and Nancy, she and Carl depart Hollyoaks to live in America and look after Riley's children, escaping Walkers evil plans.
