Hollyoaks star Kieron Richardson has revealed another set change on the way in the aftermath of last year’s dramatic 30th anniversary storyline<\/a>. Kieron shared the first teaser in a new video released on the Hollyoaks socials, which shows him uncovering secrets on the Channel 4 soap’s set in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The actor, who plays Ste Hay, confirmed that building work is currently under way at Hollyoaks HQ.<\/p>\n

Digital Spy understands that the Love Boat, which once took pride of place on the river outside The Dog, is being rebuilt. But will it remain a bar and restaurant or take on a new purpose?<\/p>\n

“It looks fantastic,” Kieron explained. “What I can tell you is for 2026, this location is going to be the heart of the drama and it’s getting some new residents. “They are going to be\u2026”<\/p>\n

Sadly, in a cruel twist of fate, Kieron’s next words were drowned out by construction noises. What are the odds?<\/p>\n

So, could this be connected to the arrival of the new Keane family<\/a>, headed up by familiar soap faces Matthew Wolfenden and Rebecca Ryan? Or could some existing villagers be heading to the new location?<\/p>\n

Hollyoaks released the video to celebrate the upcoming return of behind-the-scenes set tours<\/a>. After a successful run last year, show bosses are once again welcoming fans into the Lime Pictures base in Childwall, Liverpool, to see how the show is made.<\/p>\n

“If you come to the official Hollyoaks set tour starting this weekend, you can see this location for the very first time,” Kieron said.<\/p>\n

“Try and guess who’s moving in. And also, when you’re walking around these sets, you never know who you’re going to bump into\u2026”<\/p>\n

The Love Boat was destroyed in October last year after a plane crash caused by Clare Devine and Jez Blake. The dramatic storyline was written in for Hollyoaks’ 30th anniversary and led to the death of fan favourite Peri Lomax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking after her final scenes aired, Ruby O’Donnell \u2013 who played Peri \u2013 told us<\/a>: “They told me the plan with the 30th, and obviously I was shocked about the death part, but I knew it was going to be pretty epic and you can’t really say no to that, you know?<\/p>\n

“Peri’s a character that can’t just leave in the back of a taxi. She deserves a bigger exit than that, whether it’s a death or not.”<\/p>\n

Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming<\/a> premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.<\/p>\n

Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
