Hollyoaks is giving fans the rare opportunity to star in their favourite soap as part of the upcoming 30th anniversary – and to be ‘killed’ on screen.
The long-running Channel 4 soap will mark the big 3-0 in October and, in the lead up to the event, fans can apply to be crowned the serial’s ultimate super-fan.
In a move that is pure Hollyoaks, the winner be invited onto the show’s iconic set to film an exclusive scene, with their character ‘killed’ by local serial killer Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield).
Jez, as viewers know, has thus far claimed the lives of fan-favourite Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) and domestic abuser Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti), as well as social worker Ian.
It was also confirmed that he was also to blame for the demise of Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini), who was last seen in the show in 2018, and he has murdered countless others over the decades, keeping track of his victims in a little book.
In order to be in with a chance of becoming his next victim, fans can apply through a submission form and a 30 second video, in which they have the platform to tell show bosses why they are the ultimate fan.
The entry period will run for 7 days – starting from now! – with more details set to be revealed in due closure.
There is currently very little known about what the 30th anniversary will entail, with bosses keeping tight-lipped, but Ste Hay star Kieron Richardson told Metro: ‘There’s been a huge rumour going round the building of what is actually happening on the 30th.
‘I’ve done a lot of these interviews and I’ve probably lied to you in the past going “We don’t know what’s happening in the future!”, but I promise you, hand on heart, we genuinely do not know what’s happening for the 30th.
‘There have been some rumours and I would say if this rumour is true it will be the most epic viewing the audience would ever have watching episodes of Hollyoaks. Epic!‘
Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4’s streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.
