Hollyoaks is taking viewers back in time once more next week, as it returns to 1998 with a classic instalment which sees stalwart Mandy Richardson (Sarah Jayne Dunn) go missing.
Over the past couple of months, viewers have been enjoying some of the Channel 4 soap’s finest outings from years gone by.
Two special series — Hollyoaks Favourites and Hollyoaks@25 — kept us entertained with classic episodes during the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw production halt on current instalments.
With newer episodes being rationed out at three a week — before being further cut to two — the soap eventually went off our screens.
Classic episodes were transmitted in its absence, until new outings returned on September 7 — with the soap back on our screens four times a week from Monday to Thursday.
As one can never have too much Hollyoaks, the Friday slot has been occupied with classic episodes once more, and next week’s takes us back to 1998.
In this particular episode, Mandy goes missing, and her boyfriend — Sol (Paul Danan) — is subsequently questioned by the police.
He knows the reason that she left was because of her abusive dad, Dennis (David McAllister).
This was part of a long-running story at the time, and Mandy wasn’t seen again until October of the same year.
Meanwhile, the episode also features a number of other stories. Jude Cunningham (Davinia Taylor) is selling illegal booze behind the bar hoping to make a quick buck, and Carol (Natalie Casey) feels like she’s stuck in a rut.
Lucy is feeling pushed out of the family business when Kurt (Jeremy Edwards) seems to be getting all the golden opportunities.
This episode — the soap’s 226th — was initially broadcast in June 1998.
One to watch: Friday December 11 at 7pm on E4.
