The storyline focusing on the two siblings reveals that Johnny has been lying to the doctors, causing a stir at the hospital as he tells different GPs that he\u2019s been experiencing different symptoms.<\/p>\n

Later on, it\u2019s discovered that Kyle is skipping meals so that his younger brother doesn\u2019t go hungry as he doesn\u2019t want him to go back into care.<\/p>\n

Price\u2019s Doctors episode will air on Wednesday 8th March at 1:45pm on BBC One.<\/p>\n

Price left Hollyoaks in October 2022 after a three-year stint. Involved in the County Lines drug story, Sid and his ex-girlfriend Juliet<\/a> (Niamh Blackshaw) had a terrifying showdown with dealer Victor Brothers (Benjamin O\u2019Mahony).<\/p>\n

The criminal was intending to shoot Sid, Juliet and Lizzie (Lily Best), but a scuffle resulted in Victor taking a bullet and dying as police officers stormed in.<\/p>

After the ordeal, Sid decided to take some time away from the village and go travelling solo, with his foster mum Leela (Kirsty-Leigh Porter), Ste (Kieron Richardson) and Lizzie all supporting him.<\/p>\n

At the time, Price posted a heartfelt video message to thank fans as well as the cast and crew of Hollyoaks, teasing he would pursue other acting endeavours.<\/p>\n
