It's slightly curious that the reports state it's cancelled for 2024, but will apparently return in 2025.

If it's genuinely to return in 2025 then why cancel it next year? Part of me wonders if saying it'll return in 2025 is a way of leaving the door open for now, but potentially cancelling it permanently in 6-12 month's time. I guess the number of soaps aka 'continuing dramas' is slowly reducing, with Holby City ending back in 2022 and Doctors finishing next year, which slightly reduces the number of contenders for awards.

Plus Hollyoaks got demoted from Channel 4 to E4. Two soaps gone, another no longer on the main five channels. The competition is dwindling.
