Hollyoaks has confirmed an exit for a major character seven years after their debut on the Channel 4 soap.
In scenes that dropped on the Channel 4 streaming service on Tuesday night, ahead of the episode airing on E4 on Wednesday evening, one long-term character bid farewell to the village and their family for a new life elsewhere. Yazz Maalik decided to accept a new job in Canada, leaving the village and her husband Tom Cunningham after months of drama.
Actress Haiesha Mistry will bow out of the role after seven years, first appearing on the show with the Maalik family in 2017. Yazz's exit comes after the past departures of her four siblings.
The big scenes were teased in spoilers before airing in the episode that dropped on the Channel 4 streaming service on Tuesday. In the previous episode, Tom had planned a vow renewal to get back on track with his wife, but it did not go to plan.

Tom then cheated on Yazz with his ex and her best pal Peri Lomax, while Yazz also kissed another character. But the biggest betrayal came when she was offered a huge job in Canada and Tom sabotaged it, or at least tried to.
Not wanting to lose her, Tom emailed the potential employer and pretended to be Yazz. He declined the job opportunity and did not tell his wife what he had done.
Yazz found out via the employer though, and confronted Tom during the vow renewal where she announced she wanted a divorce. She then confirmed to her loved ones that she planned to take the job and leave for Canada.
In sad scenes, the character said her goodbyes to her mother Misbah and her friends and family. She then had a final goodbye with Tom as they made amends, with Yazz getting into a taxi and starting her new life away from the village.
Hollyoaks is available to stream on Channel 4's streaming service now, while it also airs Mondays to Fridays on E4 at 7PM.* Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on , , , , , and .
