Over the last 13 years, Charlie has been part of major storylines including being taken in by his aunt Nancy Osborne (Jess Fox), after the death of his mum, Becca Dean (Ali Bastian).

This comes after the news that Charlie’s co-star Ela-May Demircan is also alleged to be leaving the soap after 13 years. Jamie Lomas (Warren Fox) has left the show, along with Richard Blackwood (Felix Westwood) and Ross Adams (Scott Drinkwell) will all be leaving the show. Stephanie Waring (Cindy Cunningham) who has been on the show for 28 years announced her heartbreak over her departure. She announced: “I am heartbroken to announce that my character of Cindy has been included in the actors reduction of Hollyoaks. As an actress obviously I understand there are no jobs for life but with my 28 years on the show I hoped that Cindy would survive the exciting revamp and continue into its new era, especially as I began playing her in 1996, making me the only original cast member remaining to be included in the cast cull, which I can only describe as gutting.”

The schedule of Hollyoaks is set to change in less than a month and the new format will begin with a dramatic year-long time jump and the exodus of over 20 cast members. The time-jump will provide a reason for why several families have moved away from the village. During the second week of September, the series will air just three episodes a week and will be available on streaming, E4 and YouTube.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
