Hollyoaks trailer teases 2020 dramas

The long running character of Nancy gets a shock as revealed in a new Channel 4 and E4 Hollyoaks trailer.

New character, drug dealer Jordan Price played by Connor Calland, sets out to cause trouble for the teens of Hollyoaks High as he plans to recruit his cousin, Sid Sumner (Billy Price), and Juliet Quinn (Niamh Blackshaw) as the County Lines storyline heats up.

A fight breaks out in the school playground between Sid, Imran and another teenager, teacher Nancy tries to break it up but gets caught in the middle.

Hollyoaks announced last year it’s intention to cover the topics of County lines drug-dealing and knife crime. ‘County lines’ is a term used when drug gangs from big cities expand their operations to smaller towns, exploiting children and vulnerable people. Hollyoaks has a strong award-winning reputation for covering issue storylines during a pre-watershed, tea-time slot. The writing and research teams have consulted The Children’s Society throughout the creative process, a national charity that works with those susceptible to this type of crime.
