Terri Dwyer says Hollyoaks ‘feels like a lifetime ago’

Terri Dwyer feels like she starred on ‘Hollyoaks’ a "lifetime ago".

The 46-year-old actress played Ruth Osborne on the Channel 4 soap between 1995 and 2008, and Terri admits she now feels very detached from the show.

Speaking alongside Jeremy Edwards – who starred as Kurt Benson in ‘Hollyoaks’ – she told BANG Showbiz: "I feel like we’re different people now, ‘Hollyoaks’ seems a different lifetime ago."

Jeremy, 49, has spent recent months watching lots of old episodes of soaps, and he’s relished the chance to reminisce about his own career.

Reflecting on his TV-watching habits amid the coronavirus lockdown, the actor shared: "I’ve got quite into watching the ‘EastEnders’ old episodes, you know.

"Because I don’t really watch soaps anymore, because I’ve got a kid now and it’s just not part of my life anymore. It may become that later on.

"And I really like going back and watching the old episodes, because you find yourself going ‘Ah, I remember that!’ they even have some of our old episodes on."

In response, Terri said: "I saw that on Twitter, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, they’re still playing those?’

"We looked about 12, by the way! I kept looking round my eyes and saying, ‘Oh my skin looks fabulous!’"

Terri also admitted to slowing down amid the lockdown.

She explained: "I’m like a tornado, so I’ve been forced to stop. So, the projects that were half-developed are now finished, and I’ve got a great drama, which I’ve done with my best friend, that we’ve developed together, which is very exciting."

BANG Showbiz attended ‘BREAK’, the first ever Drive-In premiere on July 22 at Brent Cross in London.

The film will be rolled out nationwide in other drive-in venues, starting with Sheffield.
