Hollyoaks star Stephanie Waring appeared in good spirits as she was seen for the first time since confirming she was being axed from the show. The Channel 4 soap is undergoing a 'cast cull' amid major changes.
It was announced in February that Hollyoaks is set to have fewer episodes each week. The soap, airing on streaming, E4 and YouTube, will move from five weekly instalments to three from September after being cut from airing on Channel 4 at 6.30pm each weeknight.
The channel explained the decision by saying this is the "optimum pattern to keep heartland audiences hooked and attract new ones in a highly saturated content market" based on Channel 4 data. It came after the broadcaster previously announced it would take a streaming-first approach with the soap and will put episodes of Hollyoaks on YouTube a week after they are broadcast on E4 and streamed on its own platform.
