HOLLYOAKS star Charlie Wernham has confirmed he’s left the show after his character Robbie Roscoe was revealed to have been murdered.
The actor – who has played Robbie over 12 years on and off – admitted he’s gutted to be missing the soap’s 30th anniversary in October, but is hoping for a ghostly return at some point.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “Is It’s always sad when you finish the job.
“It’s a massive shame to say goodbye to the character and not going to be able to play him anymore but to be fair, I didn’t think I’d ever get a chance to play him again.
“So I’m very happy that the opportunity come around to come back and bring the character back and is quite interesting ending so I’m quite satisfied.”
Viewers watched today and discovered that the Robbie they’d seen over the past few months, trapped in serial killer Jez Blake’s shed, was actually a vision in Jez’s head.
And the ghostly appearance has given him hope that Robbie could make a further appearance once day back in the village.
“I always say it is Hollyoaks you know a lot of come out from the dead who knows,” he said.
“I never said never the first time so I’ll never say never again so we’ll see what happens but as of now as at this moment Robbie is gone.”
He said of missing the 30th: “It is gutting actually.
“It has been so lovely going back and I’ve done everything I wanted to do and it worked out brilliantly and that is the only seeing if I was being really greedy I would’ve loved to have done it but to the contract just didn’t fall over that that time and date which is a shame because I was there for the 21st and I was 21 and I’m 30 now I’d love to be the 30th.
“But I knew that would only be at least three months and then I got to come back for a year and I knew it knew it gonna be a year.
“But we didn’t know what the end was gonna be. I haven’t really thought about it the whole time to be honest I just assume because the character is gonna come back maybe I just do the same thing again.
“He was every time I have to leave to do another job or have a bit of a break or ever will be always kind of went on the run so I assumed we might go on the run again.
“I’m really pleased that’s just not the same old and that because he means it’s a little bit different and little bit special.
“And I don’t know if it’s been done before it might have certainly not something I’ve seen or done so I think actually to close the door on it in a way that you know it was very different and a bit of a risk.”
