"Late Night Hollyoaks" announced, with the return of Craig!

Good news for Hollyoaks fans: a spicier late night version of the British soap is set to air in November, on the channel E4. According to an official, it's going to be more "daring":

"Winning more British Soap Awards than any other soap this year goes to show that Hollyoaks has not only grown up in the eyes of the viewers, but it’s also being taken seriously by the industry and critics alike." A late night slot on E4 is the perfect opportunity for the writers and producers to take the drama to another level and be more daring with adult storylines, whilst also keeping the fun playfulness that Hollyoaks fans love."

Hmm ..."more daring", "fun playfulness", that can only mean one thing: naked butt shots!

And fans of the character Craig Dean can rejoice, as actor Guy Burnet will be reprising his role on the limited episode series. For newer viewers of Hollyoaks, Craig was once heavily involved with John Paul, and there were rumours he would be coming back to interfere in J.P.'s relationship with Kieron. With the announcement of this new series, it's unclear right now what's going to happen with Craig and J.P (you can read a full account of their turbulent relationship at their Wikipedia page), and it'll be interesting to see what the status of Craig's sexuality is (he's been ... unsure in the past).

You can see a clip of some of the J.P. and Craig backstory after the break, and as soon as we learn more, we'll be sure to pass it on. And thanks for the heads up to AE reader bunchoflemons!
