Hollyoaks launches new digital series

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Hollyoaks’ has launched a brand-new digital project to highlight the daily precautions women have to take to ensure their safety.
The series, titled ‘Why Should I?’, begins with two powerful short films in which several cast members share their own experiences regarding their personal safety.
Alex Fletcher (Diane Hutchinson), Ruby O’Donnell (Peri Lomax) and Eva O’Hara (Verity Hutchinson), are included in the project alongside Lucy-Jo Hudson (Donna-Marie Quinn), Annie Wallace (Sally St. Claire), Vera Chok (Honour Chen-Williams), Lily Best (Lizzie Chen-Williams), Ariana Fraval (DI Cohen) and Dawn Hope (Pearl Anderson).
The second half of the project, which features an all male cast, will see them watch and discuss the issues raised in the first part.
Richard Blackwood (Felix Westwood), Owen Warner (Romeo Nightingale), Gregory Finnegan (James Nightingale), Gabriel Clark (Ollie Morgan), Dominic Power (Dave Chen-Williams), Chris Charles (Saul Reeves), and Matthew James-Bailey (Ethan Williams) are all featured in part two.
The campaign video for the short film debuted to a number of high profile women that where at attendance for a special International Women’s Day event in London. The short film itself premiered on Hollyoaks’ official YouTube channel.
This comes just days after the Channel 4 soap aired its International Women’s Day special.
The episode brought to light the unwanted experiences women are faced with on a daily basis, and highlighted the gender bias where women are branded unfairly and “s*** shammed”.
The show will continue to branch out and explore topics related to misogyny and women’s safety throughout the year.
