HOLLYOAKS - PAGE 9


Hollyoaks is a long-running British television soap opera, first broadcast on Channel 4 on 23 October 1995.

The programme is set in a fictional suburb of Chester called Hollyoaks, and features a large cast of characters primarily aged between 16 and 35. Beginning with a cast of just seven major characters in 1995, the serial now has approximately 50 main cast members. Hollyoaks has a high cast turnover in comparison with other British soaps; as of December 2012, just thirteen characters have spent 5 years or longer on the show.
