Anthony "Tony" Hutchinson is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks; he is played by Nick Pickard. Tony first appeared on-screen on 23 October 1995, the first episode of the series, and is the only original character to still be on the show to the present day. The character was created by Phil Redmond as one of several main characters for the soap opera. Tony has since been part of various storylines including marriages to Mandy Richardson (Sarah Jayne Dunn), her stepsister Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) and Diane O'Connor (Alex Fletcher), an affair with married woman Helen Cunningham (Kathryn George), the death of his daughter to sudden infant death syndrome, the discovery of his long-lost son, Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool), sleeping with underage Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter), his battle with testicular cancer, an affair with his stepdaughter, Sinead (Stephanie Davis) and coping with Harry's sexuality and relationship with Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson).
Tony is one of the original Hollyoaks characters introduced by Phil Redmond during 1995 after the creation of the soap opera. Pickard is the longest serving cast member in the serial's history and is the only original character remaining in the serial. Pickard was cast in the role when he was nineteen years old and he relocated to Liverpool where the serial is filmed. He has said that his character gets a balance of serious and humorous storyline which he enjoys. In 2009, The Daily Star reported that Pickard had quit the role and was "disgusted" with series producer Paul Marquess following the axing of his real life brother John Pickard as Dom Reilly. Pickard later announced that he had no plans to leave the serial.
