Hollyoaks, and other fan favorites. Here’s a roundup of the latest drama, including a dramatic special episode in

Emmerdale and a surprising exit from Hollyoaks.

Belle’s Terrifying Futures

Emmerdale fans brace yourselves for a gripping special episode on September 5.

The episode, crafted by producer Sophie Roer, aims to highlight the severe impact of abusive relationships, exploring Belle’s darkest anxieties.
