Bryan Kirkwood has confirmed that Hollyoaks Later is returning for one episode in January, to tie up the Breda storyline. And Mercedes will get shot in a whodunnit storyline.

And the New Year Special is a flashforwards episode set one year into the future. One character is supposed to have a shock death in January. Warren Gox is supposed to be in the Hollyoaks Later too. And James Sutton has just returned to filming as John Paul.

Hollyoaks New Year 2020 trailer

We are two weeks behind here in the US so I haven't gotten to the flash forward episode but I'm looking forward to it. I'm happy to have John Paul back and loved Liam and James, though I sense they will be short lived.

Liam and James are delightfully fun together. We’ve got a double dose tonight as Hollyoaks Later airs at 9pm for an hour, to finish the Breda storyline off. Edward’s daughter arrives tomorrow. John Paul arrived back last week and he is already solving the Breda problem. And Edward and Diane get together again, as Edward’s daughter arrives. Warren is back this week.

It would be good to have Jamie back.
Jamie Lomas has confirmed that he is staying for at least a year but says that he is really enjoying being back m, the atmosphere, the people, the show’s popularity and the stories planned for Warren, which are going to look more into the character’s past. So he says he is currently intending to stay for as long as he possibly can.

Being two weeks behind in the US, I just got to the New Years flash forward. It was really good. I cannot believe that they have an entire year of stories mapped out and all the necessary cast members locked down for the whole year. The fact that they have a year mapped out is another reason the UK soaps are so much better than the US soaps.

Clearly the main focus of the year is going to be drug dealing and drug addiction. Of all the flash forwards, I'm most curious about who John Paul was crying over and who from Marnie and Misbah's families are getting married.

They don’t have an entire year of stories mapped out. They haven’t decided who is in the body bag yet either. They haven’t decided if the bag contains a regular character, a guest or a short term character who hasn’t been seen yet. The cast don’t know how it is all going to fit together either. Certain cast members have contracts until 2021. Some cast members were given some info for their flash forwards bits but even they don’t know what is going on. They don’t know who Ollie was crying over. Niamh and Ruby (Juliet and Peri) were told a little bit about their characters though. Jessica Fox has agreed that if Nancy’s hairstyle changes, by the end of the year she will have the same style as in the flash forward stuff. They know what is going to happen on New Year’s Eve 2020 in terms of storyline intentions regarding the county lines drug story but it is a flexible enough plan in order to change things if things go wrong.

The county lines drug story is already beginning with the arrival of Sid’s drug dealing cousin, Jordan, who has popped up again in this week’s episodes.

How is Juliet related to Marnie, James and Romeo?

James was forced by his father Mac Nightingale into sleeping with prostitute Donna-Marie Quinn. This produced Romeo.

Mac Nightingale also slept with Donna-Marie, which produced Juliet.

Romeo is James’ son, Mac’s and Marnie’s grandson, Juliet’s half-brother and half -nephew. So he is nephew to Ellie and the late Nathan. And half-nephew to Alfie and Juliet.

Juliet is Mac’s daughter, James’ half-sister, Romeo’s half-sister and also Romeo’s half-aunt. Marnie was her stepmother, although she treats her more like a granddaughter. So Juliet is half-sister to James, Romeo, Alfie, Ellie and the late Nathan.

Actually, Juliet’s mother, Donna-Marie, has returned in this week’s episodes for a stint.
Don’t forget to see the Hollyoaks Later one-off one-hour episode, which aired in the UK on January 6th on E4 and the 7th on Channel 4. Which wraps up the Breda storyline.

I've heard this was wrapped up in a Hollyoaks Later episode and I'm curious how Hulu (the streaming service that airs HO in the US) will handle this. I hope they include the episode. I'm not sure if they have included Hollyoaks Later episodes in the past.

Edit: I just looked at the upcoming episodes on Hulu and they have the HO Later episode coming out this coming Tuesday.
