Jamie Lomas has quit ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 42-year-old actor has confirmed that his alter-ego Warren Fox will leave the village of Chester in a dramatic storyline twist next week but, although it’s not yet known whether the evil bad boy will finally get his comeuppance, he has accidentally let slip that his departure won’t end in a death as there’s a chance he could reprise the role.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Friday (03.11.17), he said: "It’s Warren’s finally week next week and there’s so many twists and turns in these episodes. He’s such a fun character to play – playing baddies are the best characters to play on TV. I’ve been very fortunate that Bryan Kirkwood [the show’s executive producer] is a huge friend of mine – an amazing person as well. Creating Warren, ‘Hollyoaks’ have done such an amazing job and I’m eternally grateful for giving me that opportunity.
"I’m just going to try other things and I like to go in and then have a little time there and then go out. Who knows? Maybe I’ll go back in time and who knows? I think I’ve just given you that [he’s not going to be killed off]."
Although Jamie hasn’t divulge what will cause Warren’s departure, he has admitted that a lot of the storyline will involve Sienna Blake – who is the mother of his unborn twins – as he’s been holding her hostage and she’s set to go into labour – but she needs help.
He explained: "She has to have a C-section for the baby to come out but he doesn’t believe a word she says because she’s a bit of a liar.
"There’s so much in love with each other but they just can’t be together but when she’s due to have the twins, is he going to take her to hospital? Isn’t he?"
