Miles Higson Gives Back !

Hollyoaks star Miles Higson (Seth Costello) along with other celebrities gave their support to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity by paying a visit to the children on Ward 84.

On meeting the children Higson told the Lancashire Telegraph;

“I had a brilliant time meeting the children and their families, the patients are remarkable and so inspiring."

“When I heard how an iPad could help a child, I knew I wanted to do something to help, so I decided to put my money where my mouth is and went straight to the shop to buy an iPad and I also signed up for the 2012 Great Manchester Run.”

It is always great to hear of stars giving back to good causes and as previously reported Higson is due to exit from Hollyoaks is the near future.

HCP #3: Week of the 12th December 2011

In the third edition of the Hollyoaks Chronicles Podcast I've taken a new approach with the format and this will probably be the way that i'll do the show from now on. I'll discuss all the latest casting news with the news of Daniel O'Connor joining the series as Miles Higson (Seth Costello) departs. I'll also be giving a brief recap of the episodes of the series that I was unable to dedicate a podcast to that of those that aired during the week of the 5th - 9th December 2011, as well as all of the goings on over the past week. I had quite a sore throat during the recording of this podcast so sorry if your can't understand some of the things I say and for the random coughing at times.

Casting: Miles Higson Exits

Hollyoaks is to lose another member of the Costello family as Miles Higson (Seth) is set to bow out as we head into 2012. Higson joined the show in July 2010 as the youngest of the Costello boys and during his time has been involved in some of the shows biggest storylines. Like that of  Jasmine's (Victoria Atkin) struggles with GID, Mercedes and Carl's affair and more recently he got to shine in this years Hollyoaks Later as Seth saw himself the victim of Warren's mind games.

On his departure Higson told Digital Spy;

How are you feeling now that your time on Hollyoaks has come to an end?
"I'm feeling alright! My time at Hollyoaks was the best year of my life and I loved it, but now it'll be nice to do something new and have a change. I was sad to leave, but everything happens for a reason and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds." 

What was your last day on set like?
"It was funny, because I obviously knew I was leaving but it didn't feel like I was, as it just felt like a normal day. But then at the end of my last scene, a whole load of cast and crew came out to say goodbye to me, and I started crying like a little baby! It was quite emotional." 

Why does Seth decide to leave the village?
"You'll see that he partly does it out of brotherly love - he wants to help his brother out by making a fresh start. The other main reason is that so much has happened in the village and Seth has just had enough of it, so he wants to get away from it all." 

What highlights can you name from your time at Hollyoaks?
"All of it! I've honestly loved every minute, from beginning to end - from the first day when they dressed me up as a clown to take family pictures of me, to the day I left. I've genuinely had the time of my life."
