Hollyoaks star Owen Warner revealed he’s going to be an uncle.
The Romeo Nightingale actor’s brother Louie shared a heartwarming Instagram post, alongside the caption: ‘The empire begins.’
In the video montage, Louie and his partner Hollie shared their pregnancy news with their loved ones, including Owen.
The replies were flooded with congratulations for the couple, with one follower writing: ‘Congratulations to ye both, the next chapter starts a whole new family story x’.
Owen’s much loved character Romeo was imprisoned earlier this year after confessing to the murder of Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan), who emotionally and physically abused him throughout their relationship.
Influencer Rayne died in September last year when Romeo snapped in self-defence during one of her attacks, pushing her away.
A big whodunit story commenced and, with Rayne having amassed countless enemies during her time in the village, it’s safe to say that there was no shortage of suspects.
Romeo, however, confessed to the crime, much to the shock of his fellow twenty-somethings, who were all considered suspects at one point or another.
In emotional scenes, Romeo bid farewell to Prince, Peri and James, before riding one of Rafe’s (Chris Gordon) horses out of sight as a number of police cars swiftly approached.
The exit in question was very Hollyoaks and very Romeo, with Taylor Swift’s Love Story (Taylor’s Version) accompanying the emotional goodbye.
The scenes in question bring to an end Owen Warner’s incredible six-year stint as Romeo.
This year in particular is shaping up to be one of the Channel 4 soap’s finest to date, with a groundbreaking child trans storyline, a conversion therapy story and a sibling sexual abuse narrative in the pipeline with JJ and Frankie Osborne.
