Hollyoaks star Emmett J Scanlan has revealed that he'll still be watching Hollyoaks even after he leaves the show later this month. The actor - who is nominated for a National TV Award for best serial drama performance - is due to film his final scenes as bad boy Brendan Brady - but admitted he would continue to follow the show closely. "It's a good time for me to leave, it's the right time for me to leave, but I know future storylines that are going to go on after this exit and they sound fabulous, they sound so exciting," Emmett said. "I'm a fan, I'll have this on Sky Plus because I've got a lot of friends that are about to hit some storylines that are dark, properly dark. The show no doubt is going to keep getting stronger and stronger." However the 33-year-old said he would miss the character, whom he described as a "psychopath" - after spending so long playing him. "Two-and-a-half years I've spent immersed in Brendan Brady," he said. "I spend more time with Brendan Brady than I do with Emmett - it's six days a week, 14 hours a day so when I get home to be Emmett I'm usually slapping on a box set and falling asleep. "But of course I'm going to miss him - he's a touchy, unpredictable fruitcake. It's hard to let go of characters you've invested in so much."
