Looking at the Channel 4 app, I see that a standard episode length is 20 minutes now. However, there’s a Liverpool Echo article about the returns that says that “as part of the anniversary episodes, Billy will also be seen visiting Hollyoaks village”. So I’m guessing that we’ll get an episode set on the Close, with some spillover into the rest of the week’s episodes back in Chester.Indeed. Hollyoaks core demographic is the 18-34 year old group. So even the older end of that demo (born early 90’s) would likely only have a vague recollection (if any) of Brookside, with it being those final years featuring the likes of Jimmy, the Murrays, the Gordons, Tinhead and Emily. The STV episodes have proved highly successful, so despite it being the era of the show that’s the oldest, it’s the one that’s likely at the forefront of most viewers memories now. So it makes sense to revisit that era now, both in terms of remembering the show at its best and driving viewership.Regarding Jimmy, that Echo article does mention that the episode will pay tribute to Dean Sullivan.</blockquote>
