Earlier this month, beloved Hollyoaks star Ellis Hollins bid farewell to his role as Tom Cunningham after over two decades on the show. In true Tom fashion, he made a dramatic exit by fleeing the village alongside his half-sister Cindy. The reason? Well, let's just say her husband turned out to be a dangerous gangster and things got a little too intense for their liking.
In a nail-biting scene, the siblings narrowly escaped a gun-wielding Blue and decided it was time to seek shelter with older sister Jude in Spain. Of course, they couldn't leave their children behind, so they packed up Hilton and Steph and hit the road. But not before making a stylish exit in a red 1995 Vauxhall Corsa that happened to resemble the car their father used to drive back in the day.
Now, just a few weeks later, Ellis is taking some well-deserved time off with his mother Jacqui in Tunisia. He recently shared some snapshots on Instagram, giving us a glimpse of their adventures in the North African country. And if that wasn't cute enough, he even stumbled upon a café named after himself, aptly named "Café Ellis".
Ellis was the first credited actor to play the role of Tom, joining the show back in 2003. Prior to that, a few child actors had taken on the part. During his time on the show, he was involved in some major storylines, including the heartbreaking loss of both his parents in a car accident. Later on, his half-brother and legal guardian Max also passed away, leaving Tom to navigate his teenage years as a single father after his girlfriend Peri gave birth.
We may miss seeing Ellis on our screens, but we're glad he's taking some time to recharge and explore new places with his family. And who knows, maybe we'll see him back on our favorite soap in the future. In the meantime, we'll just have to settle for keeping up with his adventures on social media.
