Charlie Clapham has bid farewell to Hollyoaks once again.
The 33-year-old actor returned to the soap as Freddie Roscoe in 2024 after seven years in a huge twist fans didn't see coming.
His comeback sparked a frenzy amongst avid viewers but it looks like Freddie has once again left the fictional village for pastures new.

During Wednesday's (June 4) intense episode, Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) returned to the village and got his revenge on love rival Freddie after learning he never gave his letter to McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe).
Freddie got a shock when Warren cornered him in the garage with a gun, having evaded prison because of his "friends in high places".
Threatening his daughter Lexi Roscoe (Marnie Fletcher) if he didn’t comply, Warren demanded that Freddie writes a suicide note, remarking that everyone in his life would be better off without him.
Freddie did as he was told and penned a goodbye letter to Mercedes and she was devastated to read about her partner's supposed death.
Taking to , Charlie shared with fans: "What a ride. This isn't goodbye @hollyoaksofficial just a see you soon..., or maybe not, who knows!? Thank you for your kindess. Ciao 4 now." #onemoreepisode #bringlatersback #nohatersjustlaters.
His hashtags are reference to Later, a spin-off show which aired in a late-night time slot between 2008 and 2002 and delved deeper into the lives, loves and misdemeanours of some of the Hollyoaks characters and offered raunchier storylines and events than its parent programme which airs earlier in the day.
Charlie has been unsurprisingly inundated with support from fans since his social media post confirming his final scenes have aired.
One fan penned: "My heart is breaking all over again like 16 yr old me! will miss seeing you on my screen but wish you the absolute best of luck with whatever exciting adventure you’re onto next! I can’t wait to see! Freddie Roscoe will always have a huge place in my heart. "
Another added: "What an absolute joy it’s been having you back! Good luck with your next epic adventure Charlie!" A third person said: "You’ll never be replaced and will ALWAYS be the hottest guy that Hollyoaks has ever seen."
A fourth agreed: "Gutted . Wishing you luck in whatever you chose to do next. Ill be sure to watch whatever it is."
Charlie joined the soap as Freddie back in 2013 and left in 2017 after seeking "justice" by assaulting on-off girlfriend Ellie Nightingale’s attacker, leading to the lone-ranger going on the run.
He was twice nominated for the best British Soap Actor award, Best Newcomer 2014 and last ever winner of TV soap’s Sexiest Male award.
Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday on E4 at 7pm and first look episodes can be streamed Channel 4 from 7am
