List of Writers

A list of writers who have written an episode of Hollyoaks. This list includes spin-offs and late night specials.
A writer plays a major role in the translation of a storyline plot point, into a scene in an episode. Regular writers may pen up to 10 to 12 scripts in a single broadcast year. The writer is generally informed of which characters will appear and what happens regarding the storyline, but has to take these elements and establish how they will play out on-screen. Writers can also pitch storylines to producers and the story team (for example, the iconic Gloved Hand Killer storyline in 2015 was pitched by writer Steve Hughes).
A "last episode" date of indicates that the writer is most likely presently working on the programme.
