Blow for Hollyoaks 30th anniversary as cast tour is axed
The Hollyoaks 30th anniversary tour, which was scheduled to take place later this year, has been axed.
Cast members from across various eras of the Channel 4 soap were set to take part in a number of live shows in October to celebrate three decades of the beloved Chester-based soap.
Ste Hay star Kieron Richardson, Darren Osborne legend Ashley Taylor Dawson and Tony Hutchinson icon Nick Pickard were among those set to appear on stage during the live events, which promised behind-the-scenes secrets for fans.
However, it appears that the tour won't be happening now, with the live shows having been cancelled.
Maple Tree Entertainment, which was overseeing the tour, told The Sun: 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, the planned theatre events for Hollyoaks: The 30th Anniversary Tour will no longer be taking place.

'We are truly sorry to disappoint those who purchased tickets. Refunds will be issued directly by the venues.'
Metro has reached out to Maple Tree Entertainment and Hollyoaks for comment.
It is thought that Hollyoaks will be marking its 30th anniversary in other ways in October, both in-screen and off.
To mark three decades on air, Hollyoaks is giving fans the rare opportunity to be 'killed off' by Jez Blake (Picture: Lime Pictures)
The big 3-0, for instance, will see the long-awaited return of Hollyoaks Later, with Warren Fox and Theresa McQueen stars Jamie Lomas and Jorgie Porter both set to stage a comeback for the late-night offering.
Talk about a treat!
What's more, a fan will have the opportunity to appear on-screen as part of a storyline that will see one viewer 'killed off' by serial killer Jez.
Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.

She shared in a clip with 391,000 views: 'Baby making is for when he has bought you a house ladies. 'If he wants to baby make with you, he has to put you in a house. Don't forget that. 'Babies are for homes and safe environments! No he cannot put a baby in you in the riff raff.' In another clip, she said that women also need huge closets for their clothes. She clarified: 'Yes, this is an anti 9 to 5 page. I do not succumb to 9 to 5. 'My goal in life is to not work a 9 to 5, go fifty-fifty with a man, pop kids out, and do that for the rest of my life. 'That's not my goal. It sounds crazy to me, actually, and it sounds a bit unfair. So I'm not going to be subjugating myself to that nonsense. 'I'm living my life how I want to live my life, and I don't want a job. 'I feel like that's not fair—for some people to be working and some people not to be working.

Corrie's Sally Carman-Duttine's strict work rule with co-star husband Joe
Sally Carman-Duttine has garnered plenty of friends throughout her years as Abi Webster in Corrie. But there's one co-star she tries her best to avoid - her own husband, Joe. Sally Carman-Duttine knows how to keep the balance between her work and personal life - by avoiding her husband Joe on the Corrie set. The Coronation Street star has been a regular face on the ITV soap since 2017. So it's no surprise that she's garnered plenty of friends since her debut. Sally Carman-Duttine lists Michael Le Vell, who plays on-screen husband Kevin, Jonathan Howard, who stars as Carl, and Vicky Myers, aka Lisa Swain, as some of her closest friends on the Manchester-based programme. But no matter what she is doing at work, Sally admits there's one co-star she'd rather avoid – her real-life husband Joe Duttine, who portrays cabbie Tim Metcalfe. 'We stay away from each other as much as possible,' Sally says. 'We barely have any scenes together which is exactly the way I want it!' READ MORE: Boots protein powder for bloating shoppers say 'fills them up and takes away cravings' Next week, it looks like Tyrone may be the one to blow their secret wide open. 'Abi's torn because she loves Kevin very much but she's massively in lust with Carl,' Sally says. 'Certainly for Abi, it's turning into love. She's completely blinkered right now. Every bit of her is drawn to Carl. She's so in lust she can't think straight.' In upcoming scenes, Abi throws caution to the wind. She fakes a migraine to escape working in the garage with Kevin – fora daytime meet-up with Carl. The pair end up at the precinct, where Tyrone, played by Alan Halsall, spots them together. But the biggest threat may be closer to home as Kevin and Carl's fiery sister Debbie, starts asking questions. 'There's a lot going on,' Sally, 50, teases. 'Debbie is about to get more involved. There's a lot of interaction where Debbie wants it out in the open. Abi gets it in the neck more than Kevin or Carl.' But it's not just about who finds out about the affair – Abi's marriage is hanging by a fragile thread anyway following Kevin's lies about his cancer. 'There's irreversible damage being done,' she says. 'When it's revealed that Kevin has been lying about having cancer, it'sa really good excuse for her to jump into bed with Carl.' This isn't the first time that Abi has played away. Fans will remember her one-night stand with the late Imran Habeeb back in 2022, which led to the dramatic and premature birth of her son Alfie, now three. But this time hits differently. 'With Imran, it was self-punishment,' says Sally. 'Abi hasn't had a man pursue her like Carl. She's addictedto that kind of adrenaline – she's hook, line and sinker with it.' Caught in the crossfire is Kevin's son Jack (Kyran Bowes). 'Kevin is not shy to put Jack in the middle of it, whether it's helpful to him or not,' Sally says. 'Jack is so confused and hurt. That comes out of anger and there's a lot of backlash.'
