Hollyoaks confirms Warren Fox's return for special flashback episode

Jamie Lomas is set to reprise his iconic role as Warren Fox in a special flashback episode of Hollyoaks, exploring the events of a 'missing' year after the show's one-year time jump. This episode will provide crucial insights into the lives of characters like Mercedes, who is diagnosed with bowel cancer, and Joel, who relapses into addiction. The show had previously seen Warren flee after a confrontation with gangster Blue, leaving many unanswered questions about his fate. Hollyoaks' producers see Warren's return as an excellent opportunity to delve into these narratives and fill in the story gaps. Lomas, who filmed his scenes already, expressed excitement about returning to the show, promising surprises for fans. This return follows his 2024 exit amid budget cuts, with the door left open for future appearances.
