The hunk, who got killed off in Hollyoaks four years ago, will be starring alongside the Harry Potter legend and several Hollywood stars after making a career U-turn and then turning back around again.

When Adam departed Hollyoaks a few years ago, he retrained as an osteopath, with him now re-entering the world of acting once again. 

Adam’s character of Brody starred on the soap for more than four years and was a fan-favourite among viewers.

He quit the soap in 2021 when his character was tragically killed off by Warren Fox (played by Jamie Lomas) in a targeted hit-and-run.

His departure in 2021 came just a few years after he joined the soap in 2017, with fans gutted that the hunk was departing the Channel 4 programme.

During his Hollyoaks stint, Adam was part of some of the biggest and most controversial storylines of the soap to date.

One storyline saw Adam’s character Brody come face to face with his former school football coach Buster Smith, who used to sexually abuse him.

Once he left the soap, Adam was reported to be working as a manual therapist, focusing on the Kasser Method osteopathy technique.

In 2023, we reported that he went by the name Eliteosteo on Instagram and had set up a page to promote his business.

Focusing on training as an osteopath since his soap departure, Adam then returned to acting last year after landing a role in a new action flick.


The action movie starred Hollywood legend Jon Voight and was titled Man with No Past.

BACK IN THE ACTING SADDLE

But that wasn’t to be the end of Adam’s acting career, with his feet firmly back on the floors of film sets.

Adam recently teased that he has now landed a role in the brand new big-budget comedy movie Fackham Hall.

Taking to his Instagram stories over the weekend, Adam shared a snap of him seemingly behind the scenes on the set of the new flick.

From Hollyoaks to Hollywood

James Corden played a caretaker in the early days of the soap.

The former American TV host doesn’t have much positive to say about his time on the soap, claiming it was “hell on earth.”

Since his short-lived time on the show he has gone on to bigger things including smash hit comedy Gavin and Stacey.

Rachel Shenton joined the soap as aspiring glamour model Mitzeee Minniver in 2010.

Over two years her character was sent to prison, got pregnant and had a number of romantic affairs.

Since leaving Hollyoaks she has won an Oscar for best live action short film, The Silent Child. 

Rachel has also starred in White Gold and All Creatures Great and Small

Emmett J. Scanlan played gangster turned anti-hero Brendan Brady.

Emmett played the love interest of Steve Hayes, with their romance delighting fans until it turned violent.

Since his departure Emmett has appeared in Peaky Blinders, The Fall, Gangs of London and even appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy

Emma Rigby joined Hollyoaks when she was 15 as Hannah Ahsworth.

Hannah’s eating disorder storyline was the first of it’s kind on TV while other plots included being caught in a fire, gangland drug dealing and running away.

Since leaving the soap in 2010 Emma has gone on to star in ABCs Once Upon a Time in Wonderland as the Red Queen. Other roles include guest appearances in Death In Paradise, Ripper Street and Fresh Meat

Nico Mirallegro got his big break with Hollyoaks starring as emo Barry ‘Newt’ Newton.

Nico’s main storyline in the soap was developing schizophrenia which culminated in a suicide pact.

He left the soap in 2010 and went on to star in My Mad Fat Diary, Our Girl, Rillington Place, The Ark and Common, Penance, as well as the Mike Leigh movie Peterloo and was nominated for a Bafta for his role in period drama The Village.

Ricky Whittle used Hollyoaks as a stepping stone to break America.

He played one of the soap’s resident hunks, Calvin Valentine, from 2006 to 2011 – when he was killed off at his wedding.

After leaving the soap Ricky cracked America starring in teen drama The 100 and America Gods.

He also appeared in Strictly Come Dancing in 2009.

Warren Brown joined Hollyoaks in 2005 for a year as evil Andy Holt.

His stint on the show consisted of date rape storylines and a crime spree, before eventually being killed off.

After leaving Hollyoaks, Warren became a big hitter in TV playing DS Justin Ripley in Luther, as well as major roles in a number of dramas including Liar, The Responder, Homefront and Good Cop.

Wallis Day played Holly Cunningham in the soap for years before leaving.

In 2021 Wallis won the role of Batwoman in DC’s series, taking over from Ruby Rose.

TEASING HIS NEW ROLE

Sporting a moustache while laying back in his trailer, the former Hollyoaks star wrote a caption which read: “Wrap day on Fackham.”

According to the description of the movie, Fackham Hall is an upcoming British period comedy film directed by Jim O’Hanlon.

It stars Damian Lewis, Ben Radcliffe, Thomasin McKenzie, Katherine Waterston, and Emma Laird, almost many other famous actors, and it is written by comedian Jimmy Carr, Patrick Carr and The Dawson Brothers.

The movie will also star Harry Potter legend Tom Felton and Until I Kill You and Motherland actress Anna Maxwell Martin.

RELEASE DATE EDGING CLOSER

The premise of the movie states: “A lovable pick-pocket Eric Noone (Radcliffe) who moves into the English manor house of Fackham Hall.

“He has a forbidden romance with Rose Davenport (McKenzie) and is framed for a murder, while Archibald (Felton) becomes Eric’s rival and vies for Rose’s hand in marriage.

“At the same time, rivalries are spilling over in the Davenport family, led by Lord and Lady Davenport (Waterston) as they also weather the epic failure of the wedding of their eldest daughter (Laird) to her caddish cousin.”

The flick is due to hit cinema screens in late 2025.
