He left the Street to serve as producer on the popular teatime series Hollyoaks on Channel 4. He is regarded as one of the most sucessful producer's of the series, increasing viewing figures and creating some of the most memorable storylines and characters.

Shortly after leaving EastEnders, it was announced Bryan would be returning to Lime Productions, the company behind Hollyoaks to develop and produce new series. In September 2012, Bryan's name once again appeared on the credits of Hollyoaks, this time as executive producer and it was confirmed Bryan would work alongside former Street producer Tony Wood to drive the series forward.

Following the announcement series producer Emma Smithwick was leaving Hollyoaks, it was confirmed Bryan would take day to day control of the series once again.
