Sebastien wrote: 'I can finally announce that I've got into my first choice school for September- Hollyoaks High School 😄… and also that I'm now playing the role of Daniel Lomax on @hollyoaksofficial - catch me on @e4grams.' Fans were absolutely thrilled to hear the news, and wished the young actor the best of luck in his new role. Daniel Lomax is the son of Leela Lomax and Louis Loveday, and has been played by various actors in the past. Before Sebastien stepped into the role, Daniel was played by Kyzo-Dre Murphy in 2017-2020, and 2023-2024. Before this, Beau Bell took on the role in 2017. The Chester-based soap is pulling out all the stops for its milestone year, with bosses promising some of the most dramatic storylines in its history. Fans will be left gutted as one popular character bows out in emotional scenes. But it's not all bad news, as two familiar faces from the show's early days are making a surprise comeback three decades later. Shock moment Hollyoaks icon returns to soap after a year off screen and there's a twist Producers are keeping tight-lipped on the finer details, but teased that the anniversary will be packed with nostalgia, shock twists and plenty of drama that long-time viewers won't want to miss. SHOCK EXIT The soap has teased another shock exit of a major character as it gears up for its 30th anniversary celebrations. This comes after a string of grisly deaths at the hands of village serial killer Jez Blake. From Hollyoaks to Hollywood James Corden played a caretaker in the early days of the soap. The former American TV host doesn't have much positive to say about his time on the soap, claiming it was "hell on earth." Since his short-lived time on the show he has gone on to bigger things including smash hit comedy Gavin and Stacey. Rachel Shenton joined the soap as aspiring glamour model Mitzeee Minniver in 2010. Over two years her character was sent to prison, got pregnant and had a number of romantic affairs. Since leaving Hollyoaks she has won an Oscar for best live action short film, The Silent Child. Rachel has also starred in White Gold and All Creatures Great and Small Emmett J. Scanlan played gangster turned anti-hero Brendan Brady. Emmett played the love interest of Steve Hayes, with their romance delighting fans until it turned violent. Since his departure Emmett has appeared in Peaky Blinders, The Fall, Gangs of London and even appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Emma Rigby joined Hollyoaks when she was 15 as Hannah Ahsworth. Hannah's eating disorder storyline was the first of it's kind on TV while other plots included being caught in a fire, gangland drug dealing and running away. Since leaving the soap in 2010 Emma has gone on to star in ABCs Once Upon a Time in Wonderland as the Red Queen. Other roles include guest appearances in Death In Paradise, Ripper Street and Fresh Meat Nico Mirallegro got his big break with Hollyoaks starring as emo Barry 'Newt' Newton. Nico's main storyline in the soap was developing schizophrenia which culminated in a suicide pact. He left the soap in 2010 and went on to star in My Mad Fat Diary, Our Girl, Rillington Place, The Ark and Common, Penance, as well as the Mike Leigh movie Peterloo and was nominated for a Bafta for his role in period drama The Village. Ricky Whittle used Hollyoaks as a stepping stone to break America. He played one of the soap's resident hunks, Calvin Valentine, from 2006 to 2011 - when he was killed off at his wedding. After leaving the soap Ricky cracked America starring in teen drama The 100 and America Gods. He also appeared in Strictly Come Dancing in 2009. Warren Brown joined Hollyoaks in 2005 for a year as evil Andy Holt. His stint on the show consisted of date rape storylines and a crime spree, before eventually being killed off. After leaving Hollyoaks, Warren became a big hitter in TV playing DS Justin Ripley in Luther, as well as major roles in a number of dramas including Liar, The Responder, Homefront and Good Cop. Wallis Day played Holly Cunningham in the soap for years before leaving. In 2021 Wallis won the role of Batwoman in DC's series, taking over from Ruby Rose. Viewers have already seen Jez take the lives of Dennis Savage, Dilly Harcourt, Tommy Odenkirk, Joel Dexter, Bobby McQueen and Robbie Roscoe. His daughter, Sienna Blake, recently discovered his trophies, along with Robbie's body, in his allotment. When she confronted him, Jez explained that he gets a thrill from killing and that she is the same. As soon as Sienna ran to tell the world about her dad, a fatal fall and injury left Jez convinced she had lost her memory, when in reality, she was pretending. Is she plotting to expose him for good? Meanwhile, the soap revealed there will be another shock departure this autumn. Will Jez kill again, or will someone leave the village and escape him? Fans are convinced it is a long-serving male character, like Tony Hutchinson or John Paul McQueen or Jack Osbourne, that could be leaving the village for good. TWO RETURNS Hollyoaks has also teased a return of two characters from the 90s. Their identities are kept under wraps for now - but fans are all thinking the same thing. Taking to Reddit, one fan wrote: "If it's from the true original bunch, it must be Kurt and Jambo." Another agreed: "I could see it being Kurt or Jambo, after Kurt came back for the 25th." A third added: "I know the actor for Kurt is keen to come back." Kurt Benson, played by Jeremy Edwards, was one of Hollyoaks' original heartthrobs when the soap launched back in 1995. Known for his cheeky charm and on-off romance with Ruth Osborne, he was also best mates with Tony Hutchinson. His shock 'death' in a jet ski accident in 1999 was one of the soap's first big tragedies - though he later made a ghostly reappearance in 2013. Jambo Bolton, portrayed by Will Mellor, was another founding character and provided much of the show's early comedy. Famous for his laddish humour, hopeless romantic streak and daft schemes, he was also the first character ever seen on Hollyoaks' opening episode. Jambo left in 1998 to start a new life in London, but he too has popped back for special occasions, most memorably in the 2004 anniversary episode. FAN SURPRISE In a soap first, Hollyoaks is giving one lucky fan the chance to appear in a special episode – only to be killed off by serial killer Jez himself. The unique competition asked viewers to pitch why they're the ultimate superfan and deserve to be part of the dramatic 30th anniversary storyline. With scripts already written and filming underway, fans won't have long to wait to see how the shocking plot unfolds. Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday at 7pm on E4 and YouTube. 4 Daniel Lomax is the son of Leela Lomax and Louis Loveday, and has been played by various actors in the past Credit: WikiFandom

Actor Terence Stamp, who starred in original Superman films, dies aged 87
The British actor's film career spanned six decades (Chris Radburn/PA) The Academy Award-nominated actor, who played Kryptonian villain General Zod in Superman and Superman II, died on Sunday. Stamp, who starred as a transgender woman in 1994's The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, was nominated for a Bafta for his performance. Born in the East End of London in 1938, Stamp rose to acting fame in the 1960s after he won a drama school scholarship. The Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art scholarship led him to the stage, where he acted in repertory theatre and met Michael Caine, who was five years older than him. Terence Stamp rose to acting fame in the 1960s (Matt Sayles/AP) The pair lived together in a flat in Harley Street while they were both looking for their big break, but they parted ways and lost touch, Stamp previously told The Guardian. He made his film debut in Peter Ustinov's 1962 film adaptation of Herman Melville's Billy Budd and his portrayal of the title character brought an Oscar nomination. Known for his stylish clothes, Stamp famously dated actress Julie Christie, who he performed alongside in the 1967 film Far From The Madding Crowd and was also in a relationship with the model Jean Shrimpton. Stamp, left, dated actress Julie Christie, right (PA) But, after missing out on the role of James Bond, he fell out of the limelight for a while. It was not until 1978 that he got his most famous role as General Zod and appeared in Superman's 1980 sequel as the same character. Stamp's Superman co-star, British actress Sarah Douglas, who played General Zod's accomplice Ursa, paid tribute to the actor, describing him as 'beyond gorgeous and talented' in a post on Instagram. She wrote: 'So saddened to learn that Terence has left us. 'He was beyond gorgeous and talented and I learnt so very much from him. What a start to my career to have spent so many months in his company. 'My love and heartfelt condolences to all who cared for him. What a loss.' Stamp was also widely praised for his lead in director Steven Soderbergh's 1999 crime drama The Limey. He began voice acting and writing books in the late '90s, but also continued acting in films, appearing alongside Tom Cruise in Valkyrie in 2008 and working on movies directed by Tim Burton. The actor was known for his stylish clothes (Edmond Terakopian/PA) Stamp married 29-year-old Elizabeth O'Rourke in 2002 at the age of 64 but the couple divorced six years later. He did not have any children. His film career spanning six decades ended with the 2021 psychological thriller Last Night In Soho. Stamp's death was confirmed in a death notice published online, the Associated Press said.

Helen Mirren says next James Bond 'has to be a guy'
Helen Mirren has said that while she is a feminist the next James Bond "has to be a guy". It comes after Amazon MGM Studios, which has taken creative control over the 007 character, revealed last month that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be writing the script for the next film. The Oscar-winning actress told Saga Magazine: "I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. "James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else." Mirren, 80, stars alongside former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan in the new Thursday Murder Club film, a cosy crime drama adapted from the best-selling book by game show host Richard Osman. Brosnan, 72, agreed with the actress about the next portrayal of Bond and told the magazine: "Oh, I think it has to be a man." He added: "I wish (Amazon) them well. I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character. "I adore the world of James Bond. It's been very good to me. It's the gift that keeps giving. "And I'm just a member of the audience now, sitting back, saying: 'Show us what you're going to do'." Mirren previously told the Standard that "the whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism" and added: "Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been." In the forthcoming Thursday Murder Club film, the veteran actress plays a retired spy, who is also the founder and leader of the club. Speaking about her character Elizabeth, she told Saga: "So many women have worked in that world. She's a manifestation of a reality, that's for sure." Asked if she is a better portrayal of a spy than Bond, Mirren said: "More realistic. But not so much fun as Bond!" She added: "The great thing about a movie like this is that it reminds everyone, as an older person I have a brain, I have agency, energy, commitment, passion and intellect. It doesn't all stop when you're 40." Brosnan said the movie, directed by Harry Potter director Chris Columbus, would also appeal to anyone who likes the film series about wizardry and added: "This is like a Harry Potter retirement home." The film, which lands on Netflix on August 28, follows a crime-busting group of retirees, played by Oscar-winning actress Dame Helen, Mamma Mia! star Brosnan, Calendar Girls actress Celia Imrie and Gandhi star Ben Kingsley.
