Emmett Scanlan has said that he plans to stay with Hollyoaks until his character Brendan Brady is written out.
The Irish actor, who joined the teen soap in 2010, hopes to launch a Hollywood career at some point in his career.
However, Scanlan insisted to BBC Newsbeat that he has "unfinished business" with his violent alter ego Brendan.
"My loyalty lies with Hollyoaks at the moment. I've got so much love and respect for it and the character, Brendan Brady," he said.
"I want to see it out till the end. And I want to see how Brendan goes, hopefully it's with a bang."
The 33-year-old star, who was named 'Best Actor' at 2011's European Independent Film Festival for his role in Charlie Casanova, added: "When I leave this Earth I want a box set that I can be proud of. Right now I've got one movie in the box set."
