About Hollyoaks

The show is also known for talking about important social issues. For example, Hollyoaks has featured characters from many different backgrounds. It has shown characters who are transgender, like Jason Costello (who appeared from 2010 to 2011) and Blessing Chambers (who joined in 2014).
