We previously reported on Hollyoaks‘ new 30th anniversary spin-off show Hollyoaks Unwrapped, a visual podcast in which Ste Hay actor Kieron Richardson chats to special guests sharing memories and behind-the-scenes secrets from the Channel 4 soap. Well, now we’ve got even more exciting details, including the guests for the debut episode and it’s air date, which is… tonight!
The first of six episodes will see Kieron talking to Nick Pickard and Tamara Wall, who play Tony Hutchinson and Grace Black. He’ll also be joined by Natalie Casey, who played Carol Groves between 1996 and 2000. Carol is set to pop up again in the main soap soon, so hopefully she’ll tease a little bit about what we can expect.
There’s also a special appearance from ‘Beryl’ the vintage car.

“As a huge fan of the show it’s an honour to spend even more time talking about Hollyoaks alongside my friends who also live and breathe this show,” Kieron said.
“We can’t wait to show the audience a sneak peek behind the lens and as much gossip and show spoilers as possible.”
Hollyoaks Unwrapped will air on E4 at 7.30pm every Wednesday for the next six weeks, right after Hollyoaks airs. You’ll also be able to stream them, including as an audio-only version via Spotify.
After the initial six episodes, a further six will also be released on YouTube and Spotify.
