1998 was Hollyoaks's fourth year of production.

Overview[]

Phil Redmond remained as executive producer and Jo Hallows as series producer for a third year.

1998 saw a further increase in topical storylines. Cindy Cunningham's teenage pregnancy was followed by a post-natal depression storyline, which saw her attempt to smother her daughter Holly in April; whilst Mandy Richardson was raped by her abusive father Dennis in May and ran away from home, eventually reporting him to the police and seeing him go to prison in December.

Hollyoaks also saw the release of its first spin-off DVD, Hollyoaks: Off On One, featuring the climax of Kurt Benson and Rob Hawthorn's feud. The DVD was initially intended to feature the death of Rob, drowning in ocean off the coast of France, but this was retconned for a final dramatic showdown in 1999.

No on-screen births took place this year. Tessie Thompson told Tony Hutchinson that she was pregnant but later confessed to lying as revenge for his infidelity (which Tony would discover was not the case in 2007 when he met his son Harry). Despite their warring families, Jack Osborne and Jill Patrick marry (190), and Jude Cunningham and Roger Patterson's scam wedding was foiled by the police (266). Mandy was assumed dead after fleeing her abusive father (238) but later found by her brother Lewis (252), Rob Hawthorn reveals that his father has died (217), whilst Rob drowns in the Atlantic Ocean during a fight with Kurt (HO:OOO)... or does he?
