Charlie Clapham's Rollercoaster Return
HOLLYOAKS star Charlie Clapham has described his return after seven years as a "rollercoaster" amid its cast cull. The actor who plays Freddie Roscoe broke silence on the "eventful" time at the Channel 4 soap.
Changes and Drama in the Village
Hollyoaks bosses recently announced that many actors are being axed as a major shake-up plays out. Freddie Roscoe had to go on the run in 2017 but will soon return to the village.
Charlie Clapham's Take on the Situation
Speaking to the Mirror, Charlie said, "It's been great, it's been a lot of fun. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster as well. I feel like every week there's a new announcement, someone is leaving or someone is joining."
Exciting Times Ahead for Hollyoaks
Charlie insists the changes are for the best – with storylines becoming more "heightened and dramatic". He believes now is the time to get on board for the ride.
The Future of Hollyoaks
Hollyoaks' executive producer Hannah Cheers confirmed that the program will undergo a one-year time jump during its autumn stunt week in September before being reduced from five episodes a week to only three. The "lost year" storyline will involve saying goodbye to some beloved characters.
Bold Moves for the Soap
Hannah explains, "Fast-forwarding the show permanently by a year presents us with unlimited story possibilities. It's bold, daring, and is a first for a UK soap, summing up Hollyoaks perfectly."
