It’s the end of an era, as Double B himself, Brendan Brady, bows out of Hollyoaks next week (no we can’t believe it either! Sniff!). Since finishing filming in January, actor Emmett J Scanlan has been enjoying a well earned break in sunny LA, but we were lucky enough to catch up with him for a chat about his explosive exit. Here’s what the mighty Scan had to say:
What can you tell us about Brendan’s departure? It’s gonna be dramatic, that’s for sure. I’m confident because everyone working on Brendan’s exit said they’d do the storyline justice, and I think we might have come up with something that’s a bit different from your normal Hollyoaks exit.
Who comes out on top of Brendan and Walker’s final battle? You’ll have to wait and see who wins that war. The fight scenes on the viaduct were insane to film, but it’s a beautiful marriage of the ideas Neil (Newbon, aka Walker) and I have. Our storylines have always been very dark, but we tried to make it look as realistic as possible when we were slamming each other around!
The fans want to know if Brendan kills Seamus… I wish I could tell you everything, but it’ll spoil the surprise. Seamus’s abuse of Brendan was a horrific subject to explore, but it was necessary to get to the root of who Brendan is. Going toe-to-toe with Fintan McKeown (aka Seamus) was very inspiring: I got such a buzz acting with him – you never knew what was going to happen from one take to the next.
Will you miss working on Hollyoaks? Of course. It’s been phenomenal, but it was the right time for the character to move on. Once papa Brady came in, there wasn’t anything left for Brendan to do. He’d come full circle, for me there was a beautiful arc to the character, and everything is nicely wrapped up now.
Who out of the cast will you keep in touch with? I’ve had the pleasure of working with some beautiful souls. I love all the crew, and camera-production people – they’re one of the reasons I stayed for two and a half years. Bronagh Waugh (Cheryl) was brilliant to work with, such a gorgeous actor with massive generosity, and Kieron Richardson (Ste) has been the best partner in crime over the last few years. Just to name a few others – Jamie Lomas (Warren), Neil Newbon and Claire Cooper (Jacqui). I know I’ll be missing some people out, but this lot are great!
Are you having fun in LA? Absolutely loving it. I went out for a steak last night and a few whiskeys with Jamie Lomas. We had a bit of a heavy night – not so much drowning his sorrows, more me teaching him how to swim! I feel a bit worse for wear today.
Have you got a message for your fans? Just thank you so much, your support is ridiculous. I’ve had some amazing messages, and right across the board they’ve been positive. For you guys, I really hope Brendan’s final episodes are memorable and do the character justice.[[MORE]]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/fa07a5bfe9b3fa8afe5b6bde5d6aee98/tumblr_mjka4eHzuD1qdakdko1_1280.jpg)
