The actress, who plays Sinead O'Connor in the Channel 4 soap, has also revealed that she hopes this means there are plans for her character to get a new love interest.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: "I've just signed a new contract and I'm really happy.
"I've been in the show since I was 16 and I'm 22 now. I've kind of grown up here, which has been mental."
She added: "I know Sinead is in love with Ste at the moment and about to have his baby, but I'd love a new interest.
"Fabrizio, who plays Ziggy, would be great because he's hot. I could just sit around and look at him all day."
Discussing her upcoming birth scenes, O'Connor claimed that she did a better job this time round, having watched One Born Every Minute.
She explained: "This is the second time I've had to give birth in Hollyoaks but I think I did it better this time. My trick is to watch One Born Every Minute to make it look as real as possible.
"I can't give too much away about it all but I just love working with Kieron. We both love the fact Ste and Sinead are having a baby together.
"There will be lots of drama in the weeks leading up to the birth but you'll all have to wait and see."
