Hollyoaks 25th anniversary teaser | Daily Mail Online

Hollyoaks is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary on air next month.

And the soap looks set to live up to his explosive history, as it teased what’s to come in a new trailer revealing the upcoming storylines on the show.

It was revealed that Jeremy Edwards is set to return to the soap as Kurt Benson, while Jorgie Porter will also be resuming her role as Theresa McQueen.

Donning a white suitcase, sunglasses, and stilettos, Jorgie is back on screen as the blonde beauty reunites with her family for a dramatic new storyline.

Theresa and the rest of her family including Mercedes [Jennifer Metcalfe], Goldie [Chelsee Healey], John Paul [James Sutton] and Cher [Bethannie Hare] are all being blackmailed for their ‘deadliest sings’ by a creepy doll.

The McQueens, who all appear to be in grave danger, set out to uncover who is blackmailing them as their darkest secrets are threatened to be revealed.  

Elsewhere, the trailer teases Kieron Richardson’s on set return as a shaken looking Ste, as he is reunited with Yazz.

It remains to be seen whether the Maalik family forgiven has him for the torment he and his far-right extremist former friends caused them. 

But emotions are running high as Yazz doubts Tom’s true feelings for her, and in a grand gesture, the teenager proposes to her boyfriend in the middle of the village.

Sienna’s daughter, nightmare Nico Blake [Persephone Swales-Dawson], returns from the dead as a figment of Liberty’s imagination, as Liberty continues to have doubts about giving away her baby. 

As her mental state starts to deteriorate, Liberty hallucinates nurse Nico… as Sienna speculates that her sister could have depression.

Another storyline teased in the trailer is Warren and Felix’s revenge on their abusive former children’s home carer, Cormac.  

Jeremy will make a dramatic return on his signature motorbike to the village after leaving the soap 21 years ago in 1999.  

Kurt stars in the 25th anniversary trailer, leaving his friend Tony Hutchinson, Nick Pickard, reeling in shock after believing he had died in a jet ski accident.

Kurt appeared in the first episode of the Channel 4 show in 1995 where he arrived on a motorbike and went onto play an iconic role in the soap.

The X Factor: Celebrity star featured in many storylines in the soap including a turbulent love life as well as a toxic rivalry with notorious villain Rob Hawthorne, Warren Derosa. 

The character was accused of attempted murder for pushing Spike, Tom Vaughan, from scaffolding, but went on to marry his teenage love Ruth Osborne, played by Terri Dwyer.   

However he went on to have an affair with Katie Patrick, Natasha Symms, which forced Kurt and Ruth to separate and he left the soap on a motorbike in 1999.    

Yet tragedy struck when the rockstar-hopeful was said to have died in a jet ski accident leaving his best friend Tony distraught. 

Jeremy last appeared in the soap in Hollyoaks Later in 2013 where he was a vision in Tony’s mind seen protecting his son Harry Thompson, Parry Glasspool, from danger.   

In October 2019, Jeremy competed on the ITV series The X Factor: Celebrity as part of a duo with Brendan Cole but was eliminated in the auditions stage.

He is also known for finishing fourth in the third series of Celebrity Big Brother and his role as Danny Shaughessy, a student nurse in Holby City. 

Jeremy was engaged to Rachel Stevens of S Club 7 in 2002 before breaking up the year after and eventually meeting his now wife Lydia Metz, who he married in 2009.
