The Channel 4 soap opera was canceled in 2003, meanwhile it’s sibling soap Hollyoaks continues on today. With Hollyoaks celebrating its 30th anniversary later this year, in a nostalgic twist of fate, it was announced today that the series will be honoring its sibling soap with a trip to the iconic close.
The show runner explained that the episode is a special that they don’t take litely, sharing, “This special feels like both a moving and fitting tribute to our origin story and a chance for fans to revisit much-loved Brookside characters in honour of that legacy.
The crossover was something that got approval and support from Channel 4 as well as the series original creator Sir Phil Redmond. Cheers explained, “As a lifelong soap fan who grew up watching with my mum, I was passionate about revisiting Brookside for the anniversary. With Sir Phil’s blessing — after I had the privilege of pitching the idea to him — and the support of Channel 4, we’re able to make it happen.”
Discussing the one episode revival Sir Phil said, “It is always bitter sweet thinking back to Brookie, the reminders of its success and impact, but the thoughts of many, like Dean Sullivan and Bill Dean, who are no longer with us.”
He explained how he’s excited to see how things are handled and made acknowledgement to one of the soaps most iconic storylines with a wink to the patio, sharing, “I can’t wait to see how all the gardens are coping in the heatwave and, who knows, what might pop up if someone decides to re-lay their patio. I know we left something else down there.”
Residents of the close have been invited to share lunch with the cast and the crew from Lime Pictures.
