rdf:langString India Longford is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Beth Kingston. She made her first on-screen appearance on 21 September 2009 and was introduced by series producer Lucy Allan as a new student at Hollyoaks Community College. Kingston was given the role after she entered and won an online competition run by Hollyoaks Desperately Seeking. In November 2010, it was announced that India would be murdered. India was murdered by Silas Blissett on 23 December 2010. India returned in 2011 when Texas portrayed her in a reconstruction of her death. India again returned in 2012. Kingston has stated that she was happy to leave the show before being typecast in the role. India has been portrayed as a "posh bird" and is narrow-minded, having a tendency to "rub people up the wrong way". She is also described as sensible and "strait-laced". Many of India's early storylines revolved around her wanting to "fit in" among her fellow students, sleeping with Archie Carpenter (Stephen Beard), feuding with Hayley Ramsey (Kelly-Marie Stewart) and a "will-they-won't-they" relationship with Josh Ashworth (Sonny Flood). The relationship led to jealousy between Josh and his brother Rhys (Andrew Moss) resulting in India fighting for her life after a car crash caused by Josh. India's later storylines involved the arrival of her sister Texas (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove), sleeping with Jamil Fadel (Sikander Malik) and a brief relationship with homosexual Brendan Brady (Emmett J. Scanlan) who used her to hide his sexuality. Her most prominent and final storyline saw her online dating and despite being vigilant to begin with, agreeing to meet with a man named Cameron, which led to her being murdered by Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle), who had been posing as him. India appeared as a vision on 10 August 2011 when Silas saw Texas as India. On 5 and 10 July 2012, India again returned, appearing in her sisters nightmares.
