Gemma Atkinson to star as Lt. Eva McKenna in Red Alert 3

Oh yes, a lovely assistant while fighting for the Allied Forces will be coming back but no longer in the form of the Lt. Eva Lee (Athena Massey). No sirree. Electronic Arts decided it was best to turn in a new face for the voice behind the strategic interface of the new Allied Resistance, and they settled on one beaut you’d best recognize as Lisa Hunter of British television soap opera Hollyoaks. *clap clap* Hey! Focus! Full story for more on the Red Alert 3‘s new  Lt. Eva.

Lt. Eva McKenna (not Lee, of course) might be your new assistant in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PlayStation 3, Windows, Xbox 360), as the entertainment-focused Daily Record of the UK reported that the Hollyoaks personality Gemma Atkinson (vavavoom!) was to appear in the real-time strategy game as a different Lt. Eva in Red Alert 3.

The 23-year old British star is not just a looker either. Her five years at the popular soap opera may have done loads to disguise the fact that she’s also a video gamer as well. “I’m a gamer and the chance to act in one of the best-loved games was an opportunity I was really keen to explore,” says she.

No particular platform was named either, but if you look closely at the image we’ve bannered above – well, you might have an inkling to what her preferences might (just might, of course) be inclined to.

We’ve yet to hear something official from EA, but the way news like this go in the entertainment biz, they’re bound to be true. The GTA 4-Ruslana deal we got months earlier turned out valid, so the odds that this is true are pretty high.
