[Perdita]

Hollyoaks bosses have announced that late-night spinoff show Hollyoaks Later is returning for a sixth series.

Former cast members James Redmond (Rory 'Finn' Finnigan), Jeremy Edwards (Kurt Benson) and John Pickard (Dom Reilly) will all feature in the new run of after-dark specials.

This year's series has been tipped to take viewers "on an epic ride of Hangover-style proportions" as Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) reunites with his old friends and his brother.

As he continues to battle cancer, Tony will team up with the gang alongside a host of unexpected and unhinged characters throughout Spanish and Moroccan locations.

Fans can also expect Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) and Tilly Evans (Lucy Dixon) to take centre stage in a "chilling" storyline as they celebrate an 18th birthday in a spooky location.

Elsewhere, Theresa (Jorgie Porter) will join up with a new recruit of the McQueen clan on a wild road trip.

Hollyoaks Later is currently in pre-production and is due to transmit in the autumn. As usual, five hour-long episodes will air on consecutive nights across one week in a post-watershed timeslot.

Jane Steventon, who took charge of last year's successful series, will once again be the show's producer. The series will be executive produced by Hollyoaks boss Bryan Kirkwood.

Kirkwood commented: "We are very happy to announce the commissioning of series six of Hollyoaks Later. It is a returning series that gives an annual late night treat to loyal Hollyoaks fans."

Lee Mason, Channel 4's editor for drama commissioning, added: "We're thrilled to be bringing back Hollyoaks Later for a sixth series and with it some of our best loved Hollyoaks faces.

"Tony's cancer battle is an important story for us to tell and we're so excited to be able to explore it further within the high octane, highly emotional and sometimes shocking world of Hollyoaks Later."

Hollyoaks chiefs have announced that Danny Dyer will star in Hollyoaks Later this year.

The film actor is taking on the role of a ruthless ex-pat known as 'The White Man' in the new series, which sees fan favourite Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) have an epic adventure in Spain and Morocco.

Dyer's storyline begins when Tony agrees to carry out a dodgy deal for the village's newest bad boy Trevor Royle (Greg Wood).

As Tony takes up the job, he has no idea that he is about to fall foul of The White Man.

When the deal goes horribly wrong, a nightmare ensues which sees Tony, his brother Dom (John Pickard) and his old friends Finn (James Redmond) and Kurt (Jeremy Edwards) all get caught up in a world of high-stakes poker, Russian roulette and kidnapping - with The White Man as an unrelenting adversary.

Show bosses have promised that Dyer will bring "plenty of menacing drama to his enigmatic character".

Hollyoaks Later producer Jane Steventon commented: "I'm thrilled that we have brought together such an amazing cast for this year's Later and with the addition of Danny Dyer, the adventures can really kick off."

The new series of Hollyoaks Later will be screened in the autumn on E4.

Kurt presents a helping hand to Tony as he deals with the stresses of being unwell - and getting on the wrong side of a dangerous character known only as The White Man, played by Danny Dyer.

Theresa goes to stay with Louis to look for potential boyfriends among the squaddies. However, as usual when Theresa is involved, they end up getting into a lot of trouble.

Show chiefs first teased Louis's arrival back in June, when it was confirmed that Theresa would be going on a "wild road trip" with the new arrival.

Louis and Theresa's storyline is one of three major plots running in Later this year. Fans can also expect to see Tony Hutchinson getting into trouble abroad, as well as a chilling story for Esther Bloom and Tilly Evans in a cabin out in the woods.

Hollyoaks Later returns to E4 on Monday, October 7.

Long-time Hollyoaks fans will know that Harry is Tony's son with old flame Tessie Thompson.

Tony (Nick Pickard) didn't know of Harry's existence until 2007, missing out on the first eight years of his life. Even since then, he has only had infrequent contact with his child.

In Hollyoaks Later next week, Harry joins Tony as the businessman travels to Spain for his half-brother Dom's wedding.

At first, there is romance on Harry's mind as he gets to know a girl who catches his eye at a beach party.

Later, however, events take a much more sinister turn as Tony finds himself in a feud with a mysterious guy known only as 'The White Man', played by Danny Dyer. As a result, Harry is left in serious danger.

Hollyoaks Later returns on Monday, October 7 at 10pm on E4.
