Channel 4 reveals Hollyoaks will temporarily go off air

The show will come back later this year!

Channel 4 has revealed Hollyoaks will come off air next week.

Back in March, Hollyoaks halted production due to the coronavirus pandemic. But the cast and crew returned to work yesterday (Monday, July 13) filming on site at their Liverpool Lime Pictures studios.

However, the show is running short on episodes. On Tuesday, July 21, the final episode will be shown before the soap temporarily comes air.

Although fans will be sad to see the soap go off air, the show will return in September. Weekly episodes will also be increased to four a week!

Returning to work

While the cast and crew are now back filming, like other TV productions, they will have temperature checks and social distancing measures are in place.

Meanwhile, Tony’s behaviour has become increasingly strange since his operation ‘to remove his brain tumour’.

However what Tony doesn’t know is he never had a brain tumour. His dad lied in order to get closer to Tony’s wife Diane.

Viewers also recently saw the arrival of Cormac. Cormac is the man who ran the care home both Felix and Warren lived in as children.

Warren contacted his former mentor after Felix revealed Cormac abused him as a child. What does Warren want with him?
