Actor Gerard McCarthy has said that he will be "gutted" when he leaves 'Hollyoaks'.
The actor, who plays Kris Fisher in the show, is leaving to star in the West End production 'Flashdance – The Musical'.
According to Fate magazine, he said of leaving 'Hollyoaks': "I'll be devastated. Right now I've got another three and half months to go and I'll just be gutted when the time comes to leave. I've begged the producers not to kill me off."
"The only reason why I'm leaving is because, hand on heart, I really miss doing something else."
"My background is musical theatre and having done four years at 'Hollyoaks', I'm really missing that."
"I just need to get this out of my system and then next year I'll be banging at the door of 'Hollyoaks' shouting, 'Take me back!'"
