Charlie's song debuts on "Hollyoaks" episode today

Charlie Clapham, known for his role as Freddie Roscoe on the soap opera Hollyoaks, recently shared his excitement after his original song "Time to Ride" was featured in the show. This marks a special moment, as it is the first time a cast member's original song has been used in the series. In the latest episode, Freddie surprises his estranged wife, Grace Blake, with his return. The storyline takes a dramatic turn when he reveals he is armed. Clapham explained how the song came to be part of the show. He initially created "Time to Ride" as a poem, which he later turned into a song. He felt it fit perfectly with the storyline. After pitching the song to the show's director, Clapham recorded it in one night with a friend to ensure it could be included. The executive producer expressed her admiration for the track, leading to its use in the episode. Clapham described the experience as "a bit of a buzz" and felt honored that his music was chosen. He shared that the song was inspired by his feelings upon returning to Hollyoaks after a long absence. Clapham plans to release more music, including "Time to Ride," which will be available on Bandcamp along with other songs later on. For fans of Hollyoaks, this is an exciting development as Clapham blends his artistic expression with his character's story. The show continues to air on Channel 4.
