Hollyoaks star Anthony Quinlan has spoken about his departure from the soap, saying that he is eager to move on from his “amazing” time playing Gilly Roach.
In an interview with Inside Soap, Quinlan spoke about Gilly’s decision to leave Hollyoaks: "It was always going to be a sad time.
“The cast put together a 'bible' of everything Gilly's done over the years, and I've taken a few of his clothes to remember him by. I'd never wear them myself, though - he wasn't exactly the best-dressed guy in the village, was he?
"I'd never say never about returning to Hollyoaks, but at the moment it's time to move on. You're not going to get a much better education than being in a show like that - it's been amazing."
Part of a special Hollyoaks' upcoming three-hander episode sees Gilly make an apology to Jacqui (Claire Cooper) over what happened between them on Valentine's night.
Quinlan said: "I can't give too much away about what takes place when he arrives at their flat, but something happens to make him question whether he did take things too far with Jacqui. It's just absolutely heartbreaking."
