Show details - Hollyoaks

More about Hollyoaks

British soap Hollyoaks was originally devised by Phil Redmond, of Brookside and Grange Hill fame in 1995. The programme is set in and around the fictional Chester suburb of Hollyoaks, and a local community college by the same name.

Over the course of the show's history, Hollyoaks has dealt with a number of storylines based upon serious issues. Given the large and established proportion of young viewers, some feel that the soap is an ideal platform to tackle a variety of problems ranging from bulimia to abortion. Most characters are generally in their late teens/early twenties and the soap is famous for launching the careers of the actors into the celebrity radar.

Since 2001, Hollyoaks has produced two annual calendars; 'Hollyoaks Babes' and 'Hollyoaks Hunks'.
