This summer is going to be one for the books in Hollyoaks. There are big changes on the horizon, as the show is set to jump a full year into the future, with plenty of action-packed stunts and twists in store. In an exclusive interview with Metro, the new show boss Hannah Cheers shared some juicy spoilers and described the upcoming months as "unpredictable, joyous, heartbreaking, and full of adrenaline-fueled drama."
One of the biggest storylines currently gripping Hollyoaks viewers is the disturbing sibling abuse plot involving Frankie and JJ. But don't worry, this storyline will finally come to a head in August, with two special episodes dedicated to Frankie's journey of disclosing the abuse she has suffered at the hands of her twin brother. Hannah praised the newcomers Isabelle Smith and Ryan Mulvey for their hard work on this sensitive storyline, as well as Ashley Taylor Dawson for his emotional performance as Darren, a father struggling to come to terms with the truth. Hannah also emphasized the importance of bringing awareness to a rarely discussed form of abuse within the home.
But the drama doesn't stop there. The Hutchinson family is also going through some major struggles, with their marriage on the verge of collapse. Ro's transition is causing a rift between them, and Diane is turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Hannah explained that this storyline aims to showcase the reality that even seemingly perfect families have their own share of problems.
Of course, Hollyoaks is also known for its heightened and thrilling plotlines, and the mystery of gangster Blue will reach a shocking climax. According to Hannah, Blue will make a move that will have a major impact on the whole village, and it involves a member of Warren's family being shot. As the story unfolds, dark secrets hidden by Donny and Rex will also come to light, setting the stage for an explosive finale to Jamie Lomas' character's exit. Hannah also dropped a hint by saying to pay attention to characters' eye colors for clues about Blue's identity.
But amidst all the drama and intense storylines, let's not forget the steamy scandal of Ste sleeping with Rex behind James' back. As soap fans know, secrets never stay hidden for long, and it's only a matter of time before this one explodes. Hannah teased that there will be more surprises to come, including a connection between James and Rex that will have a major impact on their future.
And we can't talk about Hollyoaks without mentioning the promised stunt and the much-anticipated time jump. Hannah revealed that there will be heartbreaking revelations and thrilling stunts, followed by a jump to a year into the future. In the first episode, Tony will take the audience on a tour of the village, showing how everyone's lives have changed in the past year. Hannah explained that this storytelling device allows them to explore new and uncharted territories for the characters, and it perfectly captures the essence of Hollyoaks – a rollercoaster ride of emotions, relationships, and shocking twists.
Hannah also mentioned that the show's move to a three-episode online model has allowed them to break away from the traditional pace shift in the summer, as viewers no longer have to change their routines to keep up with the show. Whether you're at home or on vacation, you can easily catch up on all the drama thanks to streaming and even YouTube. This has given the show more freedom to tell its stories and has changed the way they approach the calendar year.
So buckle up, because this summer in Hollyoaks is going to be one wild ride. With explosive storylines, jaw-dropping reveals, and heart-wrenching drama, it's bound to keep you on the edge of your seat. Don't miss out on all the action and be sure to tune in for the exciting time jump and the unexpected twists and turns that will keep you hooked until the very end.
