On 1 October 2015, it was announced that after less than a year in the role as Porsche, Moore had chosen to leave the show at the end of her contract. Details and timings of Porsche's exit is being kept under wraps. Porsche's storylines in her time on the show included her failed marriage to Lockie after his numerous affairs and a child abuse storyline which saw her reveal stepfather Pete had abused her age 15. Of her time on the show Moore said: "I have had a fantastic time at ''Hollyoaks'' and I have loved playing Porsche. Coming in for a big McQueen wedding and being part of the train crash stunt last year was so exciting and a brilliant entrance for a new character."<ref name="Porsche Exit">{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a671513/hollyoaks-star-twinnie-lee-moore-is-leaving-her-role-as-porsche-mcqueen.html#~ppTJX1qB4Sz8OJ|title=Shock Hollyoaks exit for Porsche McQueen|website=[[Digital Spy]] |date=1 October 2015|access-date=1 October 2015|archive-date=3 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151003064613/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a671513/hollyoaks-star-twinnie-lee-moore-is-leaving-her-role-as-porsche-mcqueen.html#~ppTJX1qB4Sz8OJ|url-status=live}}</ref> She continued to state recent months on-screen, "I was then honoured to work with the NSPCC on the child abuse storyline, which has been so important to me personally and professionally.

Her sister, [[#Celine McQueen|Celine]] (Sarah George) arrives just in time for her wedding to [[#Lockie Campbell|Lockie Campbell]] (Nick Rhys), which takes place on a party train organised for the reception. At the wedding, best man [[John Paul McQueen]] ([[James Sutton (actor)|James Sutton]]) reveals that Lockie is attracted to him, but Porsche forgives him and the wedding goes ahead. Shortly after the marriage during the celebrations, the train derails when it hits [[Sienna Blake]]'s ([[Anna Passey]]) car stuck on the tracks, killing her cousin [[Carmel McQueen|Carmel Valentine]] ([[Gemma Merna]]). When Carmel's body is brought to the McQueens, Porsche steals her ring and allows [[Mercedes McQueen]] ([[Jennifer Metcalfe]]) to get the blame. Whilst attending Carmel's funeral she is insulted by Mercedes. Feeling guilty about allowing Mercedes to get the blame she tells the truth and guesses that Carmel would have given the ring to her but just as the McQueens head to tell Mercedes how sorry they are unknown to them Mercedes is being murdered by [[Freddie Roscoe]] (Charlie Clapham) and he manages to clear her body just in time as the McQueens walk in. Porsche along with the McQueens become suspicious about Mercedes' disappearance and they believe she has gone to Alicante. They are shocked when they hear Mercedes has been murdered. Porsche then agrees to take part in the televised reconstruction of Mercedes' death, playing Mercedes. Porsche and Lockie argue with [[Nana McQueen]] ([[Diane Langton]]) over what goes on in the house and Nana tells Porsche to look for a job. She and Lockie ask [[Grace Black]] ([[Tamara Wall]]) and [[Trevor Royle]] ([[Greg Wood (actor)|Greg Wood]]) for a job and Grace tells them to do a competition and Porsche wins. Whilst having a sisterly talk with Grace she goes to the freezer to get a drink and is locked in by Trevor's long-lost son [[Dylan Jenkins]] (James Fletcher). Trevor and Grace find her unconscious and the ambulance rush her to the hospital. She decides to let Dylan off. Porsche is delighted when her sister [[Cleo McQueen]] ([[Nadine Rose Mulkerrin]]) arrives from France in January 2015. Porsche is also suspicious when Lockie becomes secret but it she realises that he is selling drugs unaware that Lockie once sold drugs to her cousin John Paul which spiked him. Due to the stress Lockie stays a night with [[Diane O'Connor|Diane Hutchinson]] ([[Alex Fletcher (actress)|Alex Fletcher]]) unaware to Porsche. But Porsche eventually learns the truth when she decorates Sinead's room. Later she confronts Sinead but realises Diane slept with Lockie. After exchanging heated words, Diane is pushed out of a window however she does not die.
On 8 April 2015, it was announced that an upcoming storyline would see Porsche involved in a [[child sexual abuse]] storyline. In scenes airing on 13 April 2015, Porsche would reveal to [[Phoebe McQueen]] ([[Mandip Gill]]), who was previously suffered sexual abuse herself, that her mother [[Reenie McQueen]]'s ([[Zöe Lucker]]) boyfriend, [[Pete Buchanan]] (later announced to be played by ''[[Torchwood]]'' actor, [[Kai Owen]]) sexually abused her when she was 15 years old. Viewers will soon realise that Porsche told her mother, Reenie, at the time of the incident, but Pete convinced Reenie that Porsche's accusations were not true and that Porsche had propositioned him.<ref name=Sexualabuse>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a640328/hollyoaks-announces-child-sex-abuse-storyline-for-mcqueen-family.html#~p9raLhztiZ9lUK|title=Hollyoaks plans child sex abuse storyline|website=[[Digital Spy]] |date=8 April 2015|access-date=10 April 2015|archive-date=9 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150409135116/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a640328/hollyoaks-announces-child-sex-abuse-storyline-for-mcqueen-family.html#~p9raLhztiZ9lUK|url-status=live}}</ref> A spokesperson for the soap explained: "The McQueen sisters [Porsche, Celine and Cleo] came to Hollyoaks to escape from an unhappy home life and the memory of Reenie's boyfriend Pete. The sisters had never confided in each other about Pete's inappropriate behaviour, which they had all experienced to varying degrees, so the extent of the danger he posed within the family was never revealed. When Pete comes back into their lives, troubled Reenie desperately wants him to stay and the girls want their mum to be in a happier place – but letting him into their home brings with it devastating consequences."<ref name=Sexualabuse/> ''Hollyoaks'' and child protection charity, the [[NSPCC]] have both been announced to offer support online over the course of the storyline and are set to promote a 'No Secrets' campaign, which will target to help youth find necessary help if they were to face a similar situation.<ref name=Sexualabuse/>
NSPCC lead for tackling sexual abuse, Jon Brown, spoke about the upcoming storyline and sexual abuse in children: "Well-researched storylines in soaps can help raise awareness of difficult and important issues, reaching millions of people and helping those affected reach out for support. Sexual abuse is a crime that rips apart families and I am very pleased with the way that Hollyoaks has thoughtfully approached an enormously emotive and challenging subject. Sexual abuse of children within families is disturbingly the most common form and the impact on victims is devastating, sometimes damaging them long into adulthood if they don't get the right support. Children can stay silent for fear of what speaking out will do to the relationships they have with other members of the family. Abusers may cynically use this fear to keep children silent, leaving them suffering a daily nightmare. Its important children know that help is out there and they can move forward positively."<ref name=Sexualabuse/> ''Hollyoaks''' executive producer, Bryan Kirkwood spoke about how viewers should be aware that [[Nana McQueen]] ([[Diane Langton]]) suffered sexual abuse within her family, and how the research that the ''Hollyoaks'' team did found that abuse can in fact infiltrate generations. He continued to speak about what he hopes to achieve: "Her daughter Reenie is as much the victim here as her daughters in that her own childhood was filled with such unclear boundaries that she is unable to spot the markers that mean her own girls are at risk. But this is not a hopeless story – far from it. It will endeavour to show that we do have the power to stop abuse and most importantly that it is possible to recover and to go on and have a happy and successful life. The campaign 'no secrets' is a simple message that can be used to encourage adults not to ask children to keep secrets and let children know that they shouldn't have secrets either. It is the secrets kept by generations of this family that have led to what we will see play out on screen this year."<ref name=Sexualabuse/> It was then revealed that Nana's ex-partner, [[Derek Clough]] ([[Bruce Montague]]), was her real father as Reenie was raped by him.
