Charlie Clapham has returned to Hollyoaks
The 32-year-old actor has gone back to his role as Freddie Roscoe in the Channel 4 soap opera and admitted that shooting scenes has been a bit of a "rollercoaster" but is glad to see the soap opera at its "best".
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There’s a lot going on isn’t there. It’s been great, it’s been a lot of fun. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster as well. I feel like every week there's a new announcement, someone is leaving or someone is joining.
"It's a very eventful period of time to be coming back to the show, but it definitely feels like for me the timing is right for a return, and I am exactly where I'm meant to be.
"To see Hollyoaks at its glorious best.
"It's gonna be heightened, it's gonna be dramatic, it's gonna be completely surreal at times, but it's worth watching right now. Each week could be its own movie, each character coming to life in such a beautiful way and I believe now is the time to get in."
The TV star teased that there is "no telling" where things could go for his character and is impressed with the soap opera's recent decision to move to three episodes a week.
He said: "Strap yourself in for the ride, because it's gonna be one hell of a rollercoaster. You have no telling where it's gonna go and I think it could be Golden Era 2.0 loaded!" It comes as Executive Producer Hannah Cheers said of the time jump: "When we started talking about the move to three episodes a week, we realised we needed a mechanism through which to transition our stories and characters and we kept coming back to this one.
"It’s bold, daring and is a first for a UK soap; it sums Hollyoaks up perfectly. The new three episode pattern offers us a different model of storytelling, which means we’ll see characters on screen for much longer. Our viewers are really smart; in order to serve them well we need to kick off this new structure in a meaningful way."
