Daily Star has taken a look at some of the famous Hollyoaks couples who has sadly split since their love blossomed on the programme.

Amanda Clapham and Alfie Brown-Sykes

Amanda Clapham starred as Holly Cunningham in Hollyoaks between 2013 and 2018, and one of her biggest storylines was her on-off relationship with Jason Roscoe and the affair with his brother Robbie.

While their onscreen relationship was rocky, Holly and Jason actors Amanda Clapham and Alfie Browne-Sykes were actually loved up off screen.

The couple dated for over six years, before splitting in 2020.

Their agents confirmed the couple had parted ways and a source told The Sun Online: “The relationship just ran its course – they didn’t want to make a big fuss or announce it publicly.”

Sophie Porley and Adam Woodward

Sophie Porley and Adam Woodward originally dated onscreen, after romance blossomed for their characters Ellie Hudson and Brody Hudson.

However Sophie and Adam also fell for one another off-screen, and dated for over two years between 2018-2020.

The couple even moved in together, with Sophie sharing a glimpse into their flat move on social media, saying: “Moved into my new flat this weekend.

“We have no sofa, no bed, pretty much nothing else expect a few wooden chopping boards, vases, dried lavender sprigs and some plants.”

Despite their sweet romance, the couple revealed during an Instagram Q&A session that they had decided to split up during the lockdown in 2020, with Sophie telling fans: “We broke up earlier this year. Like lots of couples this year.”

Charlie Clapham’s relationships with Stephanie Davis and Tamara Wall

Freddie Roscoe actor Charlie Clapham has had a number of high profile relationships during his time on Hollyoaks, including dating two of his co-stars.

He dated Sinead O’ Connor actress Stephanie Davis briefly for a few months in 2014, before going on to date Grace Black actress Tamara Wall in 2015.

The couple later split in the same year.

However during an interview in 2016, Charlie made a slight dig at his previous relationships with his fellow Hollyoaks co-stars, saying that they probably were not “the best idea.”

He told the Leicester Mercury: “As I’m getting older, I think more that mixing business and pleasure maybe is not the best idea.

“But, we’re a company of young actors and actresses, it would be strange if relationships weren’t happening.

“We all respect our jobs and I know I love and respect mine.

“You carry on with what you do, regardless of what’s happened in your personal life. You have to be professional. It’s all fine.”

Anna Passey and Nick Rhys

Sienna Blake actress Anna Passey had a long-term relationship with Lockie Campbell actor Nick Rhys, after the couple began dating in 2013.

Their relationship even spanned across the globe, after Nick moved to Los Angeles to take up acting roles in the city.

In 2018, Sienna opened up about their long-distance relationship with What’s On TV, saying: “Nick’s in Los Angeles at the moment so it’s rather a long-distance relationship.

“It’s not always easy with him on the other side of the world but that’s often what you get when you date another actor. Maybe I should have chosen a plumber or something – only joking!

“I’ve just been out to California to see him actually – and to catch up with other friends who live there. I had a great time.”

However their romance sadly did not last, and the couple parted ways later that year.

Despite this, Anna later went on to date another one of her Hollyoaks co-stars, Kyle Pryor, who played Laurie Shelby before leaving the soap in 2019.

In 2020, Anna and Kyle even started a candle business together called Kip Candle Co, with Anna telling fans on social media: “So @kylepryor and I have been working on a little passion project. Can I introduce you to @kipcandleco

“We are so excited to launch our hand-poured, eco soy wax candle range. We hope you love them!”

Owen Warner and Stephanie Davis

Stephanie Davis was another Hollyoaks star to date a number of her co-stars, after she began a relationship with Romeo Quinn actor Owen Warner in 2019.

The couple dated for over nine months, with Owen reported to have been a father figure to Stephanie’s young son.

Stephanie told Closer Magazine: “His bond with Caben is incredible, I feel a bit left out sometimes.

“Owen’s been in his life for so long that Caben calls him ‘Dada’ most of the time. Owen gets emotional about it.”

The couple even sparked engagement rumours, posting photographs of them both looking loved up, with Owen saying in one sweet snap: “Can’t believe I found my wife.”

However the couple split in the same year, with an insider telling Mirror Online: “Owen has blocked her from Instagram. It was all a bit too much for him. Stephanie has been very full on the last few months.

“It was blatantly obvious she was moving the relationship forward at a rate of 100 miles an hour and him being the age he is found it very difficult to breath.”

It has since been reported that both Owen and Stephanie have moved on and found romance with other people.
