Hollyoaks legend Gregory Finnegan has left the soap after nine years, Metro.co.uk can exclusively reveal, with fan favourite James Nightingale killed off ahead of the show’s time-jump.
The actor, who made his debut as the suave and often villainous lawyer in 2016, has today released his memoir, The World According to Grog, following his final episode’s airing, and in it, he details many of his experiences on the show.
And, speaking recently to Metro.co.uk, he told me that he felt that James still had much more to offer as a character to the show.
However, Hollyoaks bosses made the decision to chop him as part of a brutal cull of around 20 cast members when Channel 4 ordered significant workforce cuts.
The show’s output has been slashed to three episodes in a new digital led model and upcoming episodes will see storylines fast-forwarded by a whole year.
However, having been blown up in a car alongside Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson), James will not be among the characters we are revisiting 12 months on.
