Hollyoaks actress Loui Batley has branded her character's gruesome skydive death as the perfect exit from the show. The 22-year-old, who played lesbian student Sarah Barnes for four years, bowed out of the Channel 4 serial during last night's penultimate episode of Hollyoaks Later on E4. The episode, which featured a skydive stunt, saw a jealous Lydia (Lydia Kelly) sabotage Zoe Carpenter's (Zoë Lister) parachute. However, when the packs were distributed, Lydia allowed the trio to take to the skies and a game of Russian roulette ensued. Without knowing who had the tampered parachute on their backs, Zoe, Sarah and Lydia took it in turn to jump out of the plane. Zoe successfully pulled her ripcord but Lydia could only watch on as a panicked Sarah plummeted to her death when her parachute failed to operate. Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Batley (more) »

Hollyoaks star Zoë Lister has insisted that her character Zoe Carpenter doesn't have romantic feelings for Sarah Barnes. Viewers saw Zoe having a lesbian encounter with Sarah (Loui Batley) in late night spinoff Hollyoaks Later last year, but they went on to dismiss the experience as a drunken mistake. Discussing the current state of the pair's relationship in an interview with Digital Spy, Lister explained: "I don't think they do have feelings for each other in that way. Last year happened and Zoe put it down to history and experience - one of those things that teenagers get up to occasionally and she was quite happy to leave it there. "They've got through a lot and their relationship is really quite special. There's a lot of love there but Zoe's not got (more) »

The late-night soap spinoff sees tragedy strike tonight as Batley's character Sarah Barnes agrees to take part in a parachute jump with Zoe Carpenter (Zoë Lister) and Lydia Hart (Lydia Kelly). Producers have confirmed that either Sarah or Zoe will fall to their death in the scenes. Though the dramatic moment was filmed using an airfield storage area and static plane, all three actresses received varying levels of skydiving training for practical purposes. Speaking to Digital Spy, Batley revealed: "I was honestly very tempted [to do a skydive] but then I thought it was tempting fate a little. We were coached so well - I went on the training to learn how to do all the manoeuvres but I'm absolutely terrified of planes and heights, so it was a bit (more) »
