25 YEARS YOUNG Hollyoaks
Channel 4
It’s still got some way to go to catch up with Coronation Street in terms of longevity, but the Chester-based soap is celebrating a landmark this week – its quarter-century on our screens. And it’s doing so with a couple of dramatic storylines. The first involves original resident Kurt, whose reappearance shocks Tony – after all, he supposedly died 19 years ago. Meanwhile, Mercedes stands up to the McQueen family’s blackmailer.
