Zoe Lister leaving 'Hollyoaks'

The 27-year-old 'Hollyoaks' actress Zoe Lister - who has played tomboy film studies student Zoe Carpenter on the Channel 4 soap since 2006 - will film her last scenes for the soap in December.

Speaking about her decision to leave the programme, Lister said: "It's scary but also very, very exciting. I think three years in a soap is enough and you get to a point where you either make a decision that this is what you do or you want to try something different.
