Forgive the EARNESTNESS but my latest episode of Hollyoaks is my favourite yet – and across my whole ~career so far, it’s easily one of the things I’m most proud to be involved in.

I’m very grateful to have been asked to pen the episode in which closeted gay character Mitchell finally comes out to his homophobic grandfather Walter. The story team’s work on it was so gorgeous, and everyone on the production side – director Sean Glynn; actors Imran Adams, Trevor A Toussaint, Kelle Bryan, Ross Adams, Rachel Adedeji et al – is on spellbinding form. SPELLBINDING!

It’ll be on catch-up on All4 until early March, so please do give it a watch if you can. Click here or use the app (you want the episode dated THURSDAY 6 FEBRUARY). And you can also see some of the tweets and clips here.
