The third storyline for the series revolved around Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) as she embarked on a "wild road trip" with her cousin, Louis McQueen (Bryan Parry).

Development

On 12 June 2013, it was officially announced that Hollyoaks Later would return for a sixth series consisting of five one-hour episodes, confirmed to air from 7 October to 11 October. [1] [2] Jane Steventon produced the series while Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood took on the role of executive producer for the series. [1] On the recommissioning of the series, Lee Mason, Channel 4's editor drama commissioning said: "We're thrilled to be bringing back Hollyoaks Later for a sixth series and with it some of our best loved Hollyoaks faces. Tony's cancer battle is an important story for us to tell and we're so excited to be able to explore it further within the high octane, highly emotional and sometimes shocking world of Hollyoaks Later". [1] Kirkwood explained that Hollyoaks Later would transmit around the main show's eighteenth anniversary and would "be a celebration of Hollyoaks past and present". [3]

It was announced that several former cast members of Hollyoaks would return, including original cast member Jeremy Edwards who played Kurt Benson, James Redmond who played Rory "Finn" Finnigan and John Pickard who played Dom Reilly. The returning cast members were announced to feature alongside Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) for "an epic ride of Hangover-style proportions". [1] Sarah Jayne Dunn, who played Mandy Richardson confirmed she would return to her longstanding role during the spin-offs series. [4] Parry Glasspool was cast in the role of Tony's estranged son, Harry Thompson, who had previously appeared in Hollyoaks between 2007–2008 and 2009, then played by Daniel Seymour and later Harrison George Rhodes. [5] Danny Dyer was confirmed to play The White Man, who is an "unrelenting adversary" for Tony and his friends, [6] while Greg Wood was cast in the series as his Hollyoaks character Trevor Royle. [7] It was also confirmed that Kurt, who was originally killed off in 1999 would appear as a "guardian angel-type figure" for Tony as he continues to struggle with his cancer battle. [7] Kirkwood explained these returns would facilitate Tony's "rites of passage story as he looks into his uncertain future". [3] Filming took place during July, on location in Málaga, Spain and Morocco for scenes set in Spain and Morocco. [8]

Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) and Tilly Evans (Lucy Dixon) also appear in a storyline that sees them celebrate Esther's eighteenth birthday in a "spooky" location. [1] Producer Kirkwood explained that Esther and Tilly, joined by Holly Cunningham (Wallis Day) and Callum Kane (Laurie Duncan) would become involved in "a rip-roaring plot as they all find danger in a cabin in the woods". [3] He continued to explain that Esther and Tilly's relationship would go in a "very unexpected direction" during the series. [9] Lucy Gape, who was cast to appear as Jade Hedy in Hollyoaks confirmed that she would appear in the series and the character was teased to potentially come between Esther and Tilly. [10] Actor Jordan Dawes was also cast in the series, appearing as villain Wes Anderson who puts Holly through a traumatic time "by forcing her to follow his perverted instructions". [11]

Franks said viewers would see a completely different side of her character during the series, explaining that the series shows Esther growing up as she turns eighteen. She continued to say that Esther would have a hard time but shows that she is a "tough cookie" during the episodes. On filming racier scenes for the late night show, the actress said she felt "petrified" and was nervous but that filming the scenes in one day made them easier to do. [12] Franks said that Jade is shown to be a "weirdo" as her sinister side is revealed, explaining that Jade is "a bit mental". The later air time allowed the scenes to be pushed further and the episodes did not have to hide anything due to their darker nature which would lead them to become "pretty gruesome". [12]

It was revealed that Jade's sinister side would leave the characters in serious danger and that not all the characters involved in the teen storyline would survive the series. [12] It was later revealed that two characters from the main show would die during the series. [13] When episode four was transmitted viewers saw Callum try to rescue Esther from Jade who had taken her hostage after becoming fixated on Esther because of her liver transplant from Jade's dead boyfriend. While rescuing Esther, Callum was stabbed by Jade with a samurai sword which killed him. Callum's exit was not announced previous to its airing, shocking viewers. [14] Duncan felt that the scenes are "surprising and shocking" as they lead the viewer to believe that Callum has saved Esther until he is suddenly killed. Gape said she felt bad that Jade was responsible for Callum's death, although she praised the means of his murder, calling it "one of the best Hollyoaks' deaths yet". [15] Although the scenes were filmed using a real samurai sword, the props department created a reproduction of the sword which was used by Duncan during his death scene. The sword was attached to Duncan using a harness to give the appearance that he had been impaled with the blade exiting his chest, with the puncture wound created using makeup. [15] Jade was the second Hollyoaks' character to die during Later, being killed by falling on her own knife during a fight with Tilly. [16]

It was revealed that Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) who had previously appeared in four series of Hollyoaks Later would appear in a storyline that sees her "join up with a new recruit of the McQueen clan on a wild road trip". [1] Bryan Parry was cast as Theresa's cousin, Louis McQueen who is in training for the army. Theresa visits Louis, hoping to find a boyfriend amongst Louis' army friends although she resultingly gets Louis into trouble. [17] It was announced that Dean Aspen would return as his Hollyoaks' character Duncan Button during the series, appearing as Louis' army friend. [18] Also featuring in the storyline are Captain Harvey Smith played by Dominic Tighe and Corporal Taylor Wells played by Abigail Hardingham. [18] [19]

[20] A promotional trailer was released on 1 October 2013, featuring scenes that did not feature in the series but were instead shot only for the series. The feature shows Tony, Finn, Dom and Kurt playing a game of cards before The White Man enters the room. [21] Nick Pickard, Edwards and Redmond appeared on Daybreak to promote the series while Porter appeared on BBC Radio 1 as promotion. [22] [23]

Rebecca Bowden of Yahoo! said that scenes featuring Tony, Finn and Dom had them "share some amazing banter reminding us of days gone by". She continued to say that the scenes with Tony, Finn and Dom deciding to go to Spain for Dom's wedding and ignore Tony's scheduled operation had her "wondering if this is this all real or just some crazy cancer induced dream?" The author added that "there is a brilliant scene at customs with Dom trying to translate what the gang are saying and getting it all completely wrong!" [29] Bowden later praised the "banter" between the group, adding that she found one of Dom's scenes "absolutely hilarious". She felt that the storyline was "so ridiculous" that it was difficult to take it seriously although she commended the entertainment value of the scenes. [30] Bowden praised the return of previous cast members during the series, saying it brought back "great nostalgic memories". [31]

Yahoo! author Bowden praised the fourth episode of the series, saying that the episode "seems much less cheesy, well acted and quite chilling in places". She focused this comment on "hard-hitting" scenes featuring Tilly in the cabin and Tony as he follows his dead daughter Grace. Concluding her review, Bowden said she enjoyed the "darker parts" of the episode but felt that the scenes should have featured less of Theresa's storyline which "lacked any kind of pace or interest within reality and total disregard of how the British Army appears or operates within recruitment and training". [31] Reviewing the series' final episode she praised cast members Dyer, saying he is "doing a really great job in these scenes and manages to be the perfect blend of menacing and darkly humorous" and Pickard, saying he "has been excellent right the way through and continues to show that he can do both everyday scenes back in 'Hollyoaks' village as well as the high drama stuff in these late night spin-off shows". [32]

When Callum's exit was transmitted viewers took to social media networking site Twitter to express shock and disappointed at the character's death. [33] Of Callum's departure, Anthony D. Langford of TheBacklot.com said: "I hate that the show killed off Callum. I think they wasted his character and he had such potential". [34] Rebecca Bowden, of Yahoo! commented that during the episodes Callum is "acting like an absolute idiot, and it's making me really start to hate his character", citing Callum's reaction to Holly's ordeal and his lack of care for others as her reason for this. [35] Bowden felt that Callum's death was a shock, explaining that the graphic nature would not have suited the pre-watershed main show. She added that she was glad to see Callum die, although she commented that during the series he "lost his personality for a little while". [31]
