'Hollyoaks' to air 'flashforward' episode

Hollyoaks is to make UK soap history when it becomes the first serial drama to break the time continuum and 'flashforward' six months into the future.

Next Monday, the special 'flashforward' episode of Hollyoaks will be slotted into Channel 4's schedule and feature scenes from May 2010.

The screening's storyline focuses on the second wedding of show favourites Calvin Valentine (Ricky Whittle) and Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna).

Series producer Lucy Allan told DS of the 'flashforward': "We're really excited by this future episode - Hollyoaks is the only soap that can tamper with time and give our audience the opportunity to look at events that haven't yet taken place.

"A lot can happen in six months, so viewers should expect to be asking a lot of questions of some of their favourite characters' actions and behaviour."

Whittle added: "Calvin's completely besotted with Carmel. She's the one he's always wanted - she's always been his true love since they first started seeing each other and everyone's always wanted them to get back together."

Here, DS presents a gallery of photos from Calvin and Carmel's wedding day.

Hollyoaks' 'flashforward' episode airs on Monday, December 21 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.
