Hollyoaks' Brooke Hathaway for major upcoming storyline
What's next for Brooke?
Hollyoaks' Brooke Hathaway has been keeping quiet in recent episodes, but it seems that the character will be at the centre of a big storyline moving forward.
Brooke, played by Tylan Grant, is the Channel 4's soap first autistic character and one of Chester's non-binary residents.
In new scenes, Brooke will be focusing on their career, as Hollyoaks executive producer Lucy Allan explained recently.
"We'll be looking at Brooke in terms of a young person with autism entering the workplace, and how they go about seeking employment," Allan told Inside Soap.
The show didn't disclose more about the job, but it looks as though it will bring about a friendship between Brooke and Lizzie Chen-Williams (Lily Best).

"There's a real joy to Lizzie as a character, she's a mother hen," Allan added.
"But sometimes the assumptions people make about what they know about autism might not be quite right. It'll be a learning process."
