For the character who stole Ally's identity, see Ally Gorman.
Alistair "Ally" Gorman was a soldier who served in the Afghanistan war. On 17th January 2011, Ally was killed when an IED bomb exploded as he was attempting to rescue a colleague who had been shot during a firefight in the Helmand Province. In January 2012, Edward James arrived in Hollyoaks, using Ally's identity. However, Martha Kane discovered this in November 2012 as she accessed a tribute website dedicated to the true Ally Gorman.
