Long time Hollyoaks actor Matt Littler (Max Cunningham) is leaving the Cheshire soap, but as you’d expect, it’s not going to be an easy departure.
Matt’s spent a decade in the Village and earlier this month picked up two Soap Awards for Best On Screen Partnership with Darren Jon Jefferies (OB) and Most Dramatic Scene.
“I feel that I have grown up on Hollyoaks over the past eleven years and I’m not only leaving behind friends but also family,” said Matt. “I wouldn’t change a second of my time at Hollyoaks and working with Darren Jon Jefferies has been amazing – every second of it! I’d just like to thank everyone who has made my life at Hollyoaks a very happy one.”

Producer, Bryan Kirkwood added, “Matt, together with Darren Jon Jefferies have created a partnership in Max and OB that has been at the heart of Hollyoaks success for the last eleven years. Matt is a talented director as well as a successful actor and although Max’s exit marks the end of an era on screen, Matt’s not going too far as he will be directing a few episodes of Hollyoaks in the not too distant future.”
Cheshire’s Lime Pictures aren’t revealing how he’ll depart, but it appears it may have something to do with his forthcoming wedding to Steph (Carley Stenson). Viewers will be able to find out on June 27th.
