Emmett J Scanlan is a talented actor who is best known for his role as Brendan Brady on the popular soap opera, Hollyoaks. However, after leaving the show, Emmett faced some challenges in finding work. Despite his impressive resume, which includes roles in hit series such as The Fall and Gangs of London, as well as a recent role in The Tower as DI Kieran Shaw, Emmett admitted that he struggled to land new roles.
One of Emmett's most notable post-Hollyoaks roles was in the Dublin crime thriller Kin, and he also had the opportunity to appear in the season finale of Peaky Blinders. However, Emmett opened up about the difficult 18-month period he went through after leaving Hollyoaks. During this time, he lost his confidence and felt like he hit rock bottom, both professionally and personally. He kept his struggles to himself, not wanting to burden others with his problems. He vividly remembers sitting alone in his living room, watching the sunset, and feeling lost.
Despite his struggles, Emmett has since bounced back and landed roles in popular shows such as Derry Girls, The Tower, and most recently, Argylle. However, it was recently announced that Hollyoaks will be reducing its weekly episodes from five to three starting in September. This change has resulted in many cast and crew members leaving the show. Instead of the usual autumn stunt that viewers have come to expect, the show will jump forward a year in time to coincide with the new schedule.
Executive Producer Hannah Cheers explained that this decision was made in order to smoothly transition the show's storylines and characters. It's a bold move, and one that has never been done before in a UK soap. The time-jump will offer endless possibilities for storytelling, and the show's new streaming-first format will allow for more unconventional and creative structures.
Emmett's character, Brendan Brady, may no longer be a part of Hollyoaks after the time-jump, but this change will give viewers the opportunity to see their favorite characters on screen for longer periods of time. It's a move that reflects the show's commitment to keeping things fresh and exciting for its loyal audience. Despite the challenges that Emmett and the show have faced, it's clear that they are both ready to embrace this new chapter and continue delivering top-quality entertainment for their viewers.
