Hollyoaks’ festive episodes are to be made available on All 4 ahead of airing on Channel 4 and E4.
Following last years success, the All 4 Hollyoaks boxset has returned this festive season to give audiences the opportunity to exclusively view the upcoming episodes, with four in total being made available, including two hour-long specials.
Last year, the soap embarked on a flashforward storyline featuring scenes set in the future, so viewers could see what residents of the village would be up to a year down the line. All 4 will have the first viewing of the year-in-the-making flashforward finale.
Revealing the fatal end of one village resident 12 months prior has given the audience much opportunity for speculation, and fans who have been teased all year long will finally discover who is leaving 2020 in a body bag.
Despite coming off air, and facing huge production curve-balls, Hollyoaks has pulled out all the stops to deliver on the original promise of this year-long story.
The four episodes to be included in the box set are:
Episode 5493/94, first airing on E4 on 22.12.20:
