Channel 4’s ‘Hollyoaks’ Makes International Soap History
Long-running Channel 4 series Hollyoaks has made history as the first UK soap to be made available on YouTube around the world. People living abroad will be able to stream full episodes for free, coming a few months after Channel 4 moved to a digital-first approach for episodes in the UK, while reducing weekly episode count from five to three. There will be 20 episodes in total for viewers to stream before joining the same daily drop pattern as UK YouTube subs. The series has previously been available on Hulu in the U.S. and has been running for nearly 30 years. “Hollyoaks is always synonymous with digital firsts and I am delighted that the show’s global audience will now be able to find and watch episodes when they want on YouTube,” said Kate Little, who runs the show’s producer, Lime Pictures.

For some reason, small towns are frequent targets for horror writers. I’ve lost track of all the small towns that have been invaded, possessed, overrun, decimated, burned or otherwise leveled in the hundreds of horror novels I’ve read over the years. One of the most famous examples belongs to Stephen King, who built a little hamlet called Castle Rock from the ground up over a number of years (and books) before wiping it off the map in Needful Things. Plenty of his peers have gleefully wreaked similar havoc.
James Newman didn’t give his creation, a small North Carolina town called Morganville, very long in the spotlight. He introduces it in the opening pages of his novel The Wicked (newly revised and out now in paperback from Shock Totem) as the site of a tragic fire that consumed the Heller Home for Children – along with most of its inhabitants.
