Texas Savage (also Longford) is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove.

Texas was introduced by producer Paul Marquess as the on-screen sister of India Longford (Beth Kingston).

She departed in a flashback on 13 May 2013 after it was revealed her husband, Will Savage (James Atherton), had pushed her out of the window at the wedding venue.

Texas was introduced as the sister of established character India Longford (Beth Kingston), initially appearing from 17 May.

[3] It was reported in The Belfast Telegraph that the storyline would begin with "rebellious" Texas ignoring "sensible" India's concerns about internet safety.

[8] Marquess opined that it was interesting to see Texas cope with tragedy because she was "quite a new character in the show" and up that point had been "quite light and quite daft".

"[7] Texas begins sleeping with Doug Carter (PJ Brennan), drinking and taking cocaine to cope.

[9] The actress told Inside Soap's reporter that Silas "feels a pang of guilt and tries to redeem himself by taking Texas to hospital".

They revealed that his victim would be either Texas, Lynsey, Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) or Amy Barnes (Ashley Slanina-Davies).

[13] However, the promotional campaign was used as a red herring to conceal the actual victim, Heidi Costello (Kim Tiddy).

[15] The storyline was promoted via a special Valentine's Day advert; which features Texas, Jodie and Dodger kissing each other.

[17] Mac told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that the three characters are "so different and yet they're so similar" because they share the same morals of not wanting to be "tied down".

He hoped that there would be an eventual outcome for the characters, but thought that Dodger needed to remain a "lone ranger" for a while longer.

Hendrickse-Spendlove told Laura Morgan of All About Soap that Texas is the type of female who had kissed another before, but never felt any attraction.

"[19] The storyline then returns to the ongoing theme of a love triangle; as Dodger's personal problems gain Texas' attention.

Hendrickse-Spendlove said that Texas is actually "shocked" to see Dodger opening up and he spends the night in her room without having sex.

[19] Texas tells Jodie that she still likes Dodger; and visions of grandeur ensue as she thinks that she "can change his womanising ways".

[22] Digital Spy writer Daniel Kilkelly reported that Texas would be involved in the character's return storyline.

Will Savage (James Atherton) discovers Sienna's identity, but hides the truth from Texas, using it as an opportunity to console and kiss her.

Atherton told a reporter from Inside Soap that "he allows Texas to believe that she pushed him, which is pretty dark!

Texas annoys India by flirting with Charlotte Lau (Amy Yamazaki) and Dave Colburn (Elliot James Langridge).

Silas prepares to murder Texas but she begins talking about India, revealing that she was Cameron's intended date.

Riley Costello (Rob Norbury) hears Texas' description of India's ring and realises that Silas was in possession of it.

They sell her fake paintings and an exotic snake; when Cindy learns the truth she spares them police involvement.

Silas escapes and hold Texas hostage, but he decides to let her live because he feels that he can maintain her fear if she is alive.

Dodger faces family issues and is upset that Texas had previously slept with Rob Edwards (David Atkins), but the relationship improves afterwards.

Will consoles Texas and they have sex, by later it was discover by Dodger's twin sister, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).

On 7 November 2013, Will confesses to his crimes and is arrested for the murders of Texas and his own mother, Anna Blake (Saskia Wickham).

[33] A Sunday Mercury reporter said Texas and Jodie were "the strangest pairing since Darren Osborne and Suzanne Ashworth".

He added that Texas is the plot's "weak link" because the actress offered the same expression and emotion "no matter what the scene".
