Hollyoaks is set to fire on all cylinders as the show’s new boss Hannah Cheers makes sweeping changes to existing storylines, while axing some entirely and forming her own.
The campaign comes after three producers, including the show’s top chief Lucy Allan, were dropped from the show.
Hollyoaks is embarking on a new era in the wake of the big move to a predominantly online strategy and it is hoped that exciting new storyline twists will enhance this.
Hannah, who previously worked on the show for many years before a stint in Emmerdale, has spent time dropping storylines which were planned to run further.
Others are going to veer away from the original plot quite significantly, with big twists on the agenda.
While it is not confirmed which strands have been targeted, viewers are certainly taking about the show in a positive light.
