Now, fans will be pleased to here that it'll be back on screens in a special Hollyoaks episode that will honour the predecessor.

And as part of the exciting crossover, fans will see Brookside characters make a return as a treat to mark the milestone.

Executive Producer Hannah Cheers said: "This episode is a love letter to both Hollyoaks and Brookside.

"Brookside gave birth to Hollyoaks — it grew up on the same site and eventually took over its sets.

"For everyone at Lime Pictures (originally Mersey TV), Hollyoaks' history is deeply rooted in Brookside, and its legacy lives on through our crew and, of course, some of our cast.
