List of Deaths

A list of deaths in Hollyoaks, on-screen and off-screen. Hollyoaks is specially known for its very frequent deaths, particularly since 2006.
There have been a total of 262 deaths on Hollyoaks: 184 on-screen deaths and 60 off-screen deaths. There have also been 27 fake deaths, 11 historical deaths and 7 deaths that have been mentioned to have taken place (off-screen) prior to the show's first episode on 23rd October 1995. The grand total does not count 'undated deaths' as their applicable sections are unknown.
The totals also count deaths aired in late night specials and spin-offs. This list only contains deaths for which at least a year of death is known. For a list of all deceased characters seen or mentioned in Hollyoaks, see :Category:Deceased characters.
== Deaths ==
=== On-screen deaths ===
A list of character deaths depicted on-screen or implied to be occuring during a scene. For example: Niall Rafferty's fall from a cliff was seen on-screen in entirety, whilst Silas Blissett's murder of Lindsey Roscoe was implied with a pan to photographs of her family.
This list is sorted by episode transmission date, with a notation if this was set on another date. For example: the deaths of Mel and Sophie Burton took place in Episode 1861 (8th September 2006), and their headstones in 2573 list their death dates as "8th September 2006". Meanwhile, Rob Hawthorn's death in Episode 395 (28th December 1999) was mentioned in Episode 400 as taking place on "31st December 1999". This list also contains deaths in flashback scenes, with the actual in-universe date being denoted.

===Off-screen deaths ===
A list of character deaths that have been mentioned as dead, taking place outside of a scene. This could be due to a character receiving news through a phone call (such as Cormac Ranger), being informed in-person by a family member (such as Mr. Harrison), a mention in passing by another character (such as Andy Morgan), or the character not being seen at all until their body is discovered (such as Charlotte Mandelson).
Family members of existing characters who have died off-screen are added to this list, even if they have never been mentioned before as alive. For example, Diane Hutchinson first appeared in 2010 and her sister Babs Drinkwell was mentioned to have died in 2017.

This may be because the character died before the first appearance of any connected characters (such as Mr. Patrick), their death took place after the departure and before the return of any connected characters (such as Andy Morgan), or a character's death went unrevealed until long after it happened (such as Gloria Deveraux).
