Hollyoaks

1995

Hollyoaks (1995 – ongoing) is a long-running British soap opera.

There are several characters over the years who have been in foster care.

For example:

• Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) was in foster care with Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams).

• Miley Carson (Avy Berry) is also in foster care with Scott Drinkwell.

• Phoenix Hathaway (Tylan Grant) is in foster care with the Osborne family.

• Nico Blake (Persphone Swales-Dawson) was in foster care with Denise (Janet Bamford)

Hollyoaks has won many awards and has a regular cast of 50 characters.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
