Where the Hollyoaks cast are now - famous fling and surprise career switch
Hollyoaks is now aimed at everyone, but back in the day it revolved around a core cast of seven teenage characters - and those teens are now all grown up and have very different lives Back when Hollyoaks first hit screens on Channel 4 in 1995, it made an instant impression on viewers. In contrast to other soaps, the show was aimed at teens and young adults - with all the drama that goes with the age group. Hollyoaks instantly dived into the world of its young cast, and was even criticised for the amount of drinking shown on screen as its college student crew unveiled a world of partying and love triangles in Chester. At the same time, the show was praised for tackling hard storylines, including drug addiction, murder, and mental health issues. In contrast to its huge cast now, Hollyoaks kicked off with just 15 faces to follow, seven of whom were teens leading the story. Many of the attractive bunch became household names as the soap racked up plenty of awards, but while some have risen in the world of showbiz, others have taken unbelievably different paths. Here's a look at what the original seven are doing today, 30 years after making history... Will Mellor Laid back Jack-the-Lad Jambo was one of the most popular original characters in the soap, which actor Will joined when he was 19. The star appeared in the show for three years before moving to Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps in 2001. Will is now 49, and remains a successful actor. The Yorkshire native has starred in major hits such as Broadchurch and Line of Duty - proving he can do drama just as well as soaps and sitcoms. In 2021, he also joined Coronation Street as drugs gangster Harvey Gaskell, spending nearly two years in the role. Most recently, he worked on the show Mr Bates vs The Post Office, and also snagged a role in The Teacher. Away from acting, Will switched things up with a stint on Strictly Come Dancing, finishing 11th in 2022. He's also the co-host of Will & Ralf Should Know Better, which sees him and his Two Pints of Lager co-star Ralf Little travelling around and undertaking hilarious new activities. Despite moving on, Will - who shares children Jayden and Renee with dancer Michelle McSween - made it clear that he still loves his past on the soap. Earlier this year, he admitted: "I am so grateful to Hollyoaks. I'll always be in debt to that show. It was the show that changed my life." Nick Pickard Nick has played Tony Hutchinson since Hollyoaks began, with his character experiencing testicular cancer and being stabbed and held hostage by serial killer Breda McQueen during that time. In 2017, the actor won the British Soap Award for Outstanding Achievement. Nick, 49, originally only signed up for 26 episodes on the soap, but told Digital Spy he hopes it goes on for 'as long as it can'. "I love the show and love the people more than anything - they're like my family," he said. In 2023, the star joined the cast of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, calling the opportunity to enter the jungle an 'opportunity of a lifetime'. He was the fourth campmate to be voted out, with the reality contest won by Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson. Nick enjoyed a year long relationship with his former Hollyoaks co-star Joanna Taylor, who played Geri Hudson, back in 2001. He is now in a long term relationship with girlfriend Sarah Corrin with a grown up daughter, Ellie. Jeremy Edwards Like Will, Jeremy played his character Kurt Benson for three years, which saw the wannabe rock star experience a turbulent love life and a long-running feud with villain Rob Hawthorne. Later on, heartbroken viewers believed Kurt had been killed in a jet ski accident abroad, but the character had actually been on the run - and in 2020 he returned to the village on his motorbike, leaving his pal Tony reeling in shock. Actor Jeremy said the pandemic had made his show comeback after 21 years difficult. "I was supposed to be there for six months to a year but Covid impacted that massively," he said. "There was so many restrictions with filming that I couldn't go near anyone and I only had one storyline." After his original stint on the show, Jeremy played student nurse Danny Shaughnessy in Holby City and appeared on reality shows including The X Factor: Celebrity, and Celebrity Big Brother. The actor was engaged to S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens but married Lydia Metz in 2009, going onto have children Scarlett and Theodore. Acting jobs drying up in lockdown saw the 54-year-old parting ways with his agent and he is now working as a drama teacher, saying he 'never enjoyed being famous'. "There are so many reasons why you can be out of work and I thought, this is so unpredictable and I have a family," he told The Sun. "I thought I've got thirty years of experience here, what am I doing?" Lisa Williamson Dawn was the first member of the long-running Cunningham family to appear on Hollyoaks and was at the centre of many hard-hitting storylines, including an unwanted teenage pregnancy after sleeping with her best friend Ruth's dad Jack. Actress Lisa appeared on the show for two years and went onto star in Dream Team and Siren's Bay. After years on screen, the performer turned largely to voice acting on commercial adverts, and also started a career as a very successful published author too. Her debut novel The Art of Being Normal was a bestseller which won the 2017 Waterstones Children's Book Prize for best older fiction. Shebah Ronay Described as the Hollyoaks poster girl, Natasha Anderson was the first character to die in the show when her drink was spiked with an ecstasy pill. The storyline came a year after the real-life death of Leah Betts, who died after taking ecstasy on her 18th birthday. Shebah, 53, went onto appear in 1998 film Things We Do for Love before moving to a career in modelling, presenting, and journalism. She is married to artist Jonathan Yeo, with whom she shares two children, and often acts as muse for her husband's artworks. Yasmin Bannerman Restaurant owner Maddie Parker was a background character for two years before an intense storyline involving her stalker ex propelled her to the forefront. Yasmin left the show after two years, and has racked up plenty of other acting credits since then. The star's first role after leaving the soap was in Red Dwarf, followed by a recurring role as Jessica in the cult series Cold Feet, in which her character had an affair with married posh financier David. She also snagged a main role in Merseybeat. Since then, Jessica has appeared in episodes of several shows, including Doctor Who, Torchwood, Holby City, and Life on Mars. Her last role was in Casualty in 2009, suggesting she might now be done with acting for good. Brett O'Brien Free-loving Louise Taylor was Dawn and Natasha's best friend, claiming to see the latter's ghost after her passing. The short lived character left Hollyoaks after just eight months when she fell in love with hippy traveller Tree. Brett went onto star in shows such as Wire in the Blood, William and Mary and The Bill. Like Yasmin, Brett's acting career has gone quiet since 2009, with her last role being a nurse in one episode of Law And Order: UK.

Death in Paradise's Ralf Little's next move after BBC exit as fans say 'can't wait'
Death in Paradise star Ralf Little recently confirmed his next move after leaving the hit BBC show. Ralf Little, known for his role as DI Neville Parker in the hit BBC crime drama Death in Paradise, said his goodbyes to the show in 2024. Following a successful four-year run, he passed the baton to Don Gilet, who now takes the lead as DI Mervin Wilson. While fans continue to relish Ralf's performances in reruns, they're keen to discover what the future holds for the accomplished actor. Luckily, Ralf has an exciting new endeavour on the horizon. Earlier this month, Ralf announced that he will be embarking on a UK tour with his close pal and podcast co-host Will Mellor. The pair, creators of the popular Two Pints podcast, plan to bring their show to live audiences later in the year, reports the Express. Throughout November, the friends will be touring various locations across the country with their 'November Nonsense' tour. Ralf and Will have been mates since their time on the BBC sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, which also starred Sheridan Smith and Natalie Casey. The sitcom first hit screens in 2001 and continued for ten years until it ended in 2011. When they shared the news of their tour on social media, fans were quick to express their excitement. One fan said: "Whoop just bagged second row tickets in Colchester I finally get to see my favourite podcasters." Another shared: "Just booked for Carlisle. Can't wait." While another enthusiastic fan simply put: "Yeyyyyyyy [sic]". One more chimed in with: "Looking forward to seeing you both in Colchester." While another added: "See you boys in Manchester! Can't wait." Away from touring, Ralf is gearing up for his next on-screen appearance in the highly anticipated dystopian thriller, The Flaw. The plot summary states: "Follows a ruthless Interrogator (Dawson) who is ordered by the Special Service to follow a perfect Plan to prove a Suspect (McBain) is guilty. But once the interrogation gets underway, he comes to realize that there is a flaw not only in the Plan, but also in the Regime itself."
