the Hollyoaks Later drinking game
What better way to enjoy Hollyoaks Later, we thought, than being under the influence of copious amounts of alcohol? Thus, the Hollyoaks Later drinking game was born!
What you need:
- The tipple of your choice
- Appropriate Hollyoaks-themed props (such as a Brendan tash)
- Some friends, else you’ll just be drinking on your own. Which is a bit Phil Mitchell.
- Hollyoaks Later on the telly box.

I’m playing. It’s always been a fun game.
For an extra reason to drink, how about Theresa comes up with yet another impossibly ridiculous reason for why she cant say who the father of her child is? – 1 shot.
BTW – found your blog thanks to The Guardian today, it’s awesome!

Excellent rule, thanks Jimmy! Just had thought – does Carmel know the baby is Calvin’s? Could that kick off in Later?
And thanks for visiting the site, it’s been quite a day – hooray for The Guardian!

Thought it might be an eventful one, the blog is hilarious, the montages of Brendan’s Oirish expressions are fantastic, and I’ve got a new favourite quote thanks to you, “get your face outta my space” courtesy of Fletch, (that’s going back a bit!)
Anyway, back to the point; she does know, it was revealed a couple of months ago, and the whole family knows too. Carmel said she would tell the police that she shot Calvin as soon as the baby was born.
Keep up the good work, as I’ll once more damage my liver in another round of the ‘Later’ drinking game this evening!

We already have a Hollyoaks drinking game!
I can’t recall our other rules … except 1 shot every time India rolls her eyes, or Brendan touches his face/someone else’s face.
