Hollyoaks has allegedly axed 20 cast members in a huge shake-up.The hit E4 soap is undergoing some major changes, with many stars set to exit the show in the coming months.
As well as axing several characters, Hollyoaks is moving to a streaming first strategy - where episodes will drop online before they air on TV.
It's also been announced that there will be only three episodes per week of the soap come September. Each episode will only last 20 minutes.
These changes will kickstart the new Hollyoaks era, which will see the soap jump forward by a whole year. Bosses have since announced a number of cuts across the soap, which includes several character exits.
