Oh :lol:

 

Well great news about the ratings!!! Look like the show might be out of the woods for now.

Also Hannah coming back as a sex worker is ICONIC!!! And the son of her dead best friend, the woman she grew up with!!!!, trying to sleep with her is just LOL!!! Glad she didn't though, as it would have been wrong on so many levels. Also, why does Hollyoaks not have a college, but a super strict sixth form?!

 

But since when are Lucas and Dillan gay? The last storyline I saw of thode two was them trying to impress girls on a camping trip with Jack.

Pretty sure Dillan is pansexual and Lucas is closeted and struggling to accept that he's gay? Is there not a conversation therapy storyline going on as well that Lucas is involved in with the teacher?

 

I really do need to start watching this properly bc I just watch clips on tiktok but it always seems to be the Dillan/Lucas storyline I see or Frankie and JJ

 

Although I did see Miss Roxie Mitchell crawling about some bins?? :wub:

So glad John Paul is on to Carter, really hoping all that comes to a head this week (which is the Conversion Therapy storyline for Lindsey).

I'm gonna watch the pride episode as I know that's when it all kicks off and I know enough background to follow it I think, then I'll try and keep up properly :kink:

 

 

Jeremy Sheffield is back as…. Patrick’s long lost twin Jez. April Fools was a month ago channel 4.

 

Axing 20 characters just to do that is a choice :lol: Sherrie Hewson is also cast as his mother/Sienna’s grandmother

I thought we were past these ridiculous "long lost whoever" stories but I guess not :kink:. I'm a bit indifferent to the idea but I can only imagine Jez will be an overly nice person, the complete opposite to Patrick. Sherrie Hewson could be an absolute serve. Sienna's character has been a bit lost since Rafe died so she definitely needs something to do other than rattling round in that random mansion.

All I could thonk of was Joey Tribiani having to audition to play his own character's twin, in what was a comedy parody of soap oepras!! :rofl: :rofl:

 

Not Warren about to wipe out half the cast with his dodgy drugs

Gosh the exits are coming thick and fast after the past couple of episodes losing

Mason, Lizzie and Hunter

.

 

It has now been confirmed that

Zain

is leaving too.

Edited May 8, 20241 yr by lewistgreen

I’m wondering if these were before the actual cuts too, I assumed the cuts would be when we have the time jump but I guess they will have started before we found out about it etc. We’ll just be left with Tony at this rate :lol:

 

It’s quite clever to link potentially a handful of exits to Warren’s exit, Lizzie’s death was absolutely devastating and actually a shame as I feel like she was starting to really come into her own as a character so she’s not one I wanted to see go. That was just so odd to even bother having the baby thing just to kill her off, but I guess it made the death more shocking and impactful as she was about to make a breakthrough and a big change in her life then suddenly she’s gone.

 

I hope they don’t kill Cindy off, it would make sense for her and Dave to try and make a go of it and go to London to try and make up with Mason and be a family again,it would be nice for Cindy to finally be happy if she has to go, and Dave surely is 100% gone with Lizzie dead, Mason gone, and Cindy going. I mean I assume some of the exits will just be that they naturally moved on, they can’t kill off 20 characters with dodgy drugs dramatically :lol:

It does turn out that

Hunter's death

was pre-planned before the change to 3 episodes a week and cast cull so they've tied it in to the story which works well really.

Gof thr McQueens are thr new Kennedys!

I've just started watching again from the beginning of last week with the Pride episodes, and omg it's so unserious I love it :lol:

 

Two deaths and an exit in the space of two episodes though lmao. Lizzie seemed like one of the best characters, so a shame I didn't get to see some more of her and I definitely won't be going back to watch however many months' worth of episodes.

 

The storyline with Dillon and Lucas is heartbreaking but so great, get a feeling it's not over too (:drama:) so looking forward to seeing where their relationship goes from here.

It is really unserious!!! Woman's dramatic storyline about a lost child starts ... and she's dead from Warren's dodgy drugs. Jamelia left jist a couple weeks ago too! Bragging about a head of research job, which she hsd to leave for IMMEDIATELY,whoch has nothing to do with being a pediatrician anyway!!!

Sharon leaving for Dubai on one day’s notice was so camp lmfaoooo, also Mason just going off in a taxi in the dead of might presumably to get a train to London to see his mum still in his wedding suit :lol:

 

I don’t really mind the fast paced exits as I know it’s a period of high turnover and they have to get it in somehow, but they could at least have a little more notice like “oh I got a new job in Dubai and I leave next week”, I guess Mason made more sense since Dave reacted the way he did and he just wanted to go.

You didn’t miss a lot with Lizzie, they kind of did nothing with her for ages and then suddenly decided to throw the baby secret and then death in the space of a week, but she definitely had mileage as a character if they bothered with her as much as they did this week all along. She was a likeable character but I guess they did all that just to make her death hit harder especially as she was well liked, but I feel that’s something Hollyoaks has always been good at. They will kill off characters people like or are invested in when you don’t ed-etc it, because it makes for a shock or a good story, and that’s sad but it hits when it happens. I definitely think Kitty fathered the baby with Lizzie before her transition and that’s what Lizzie was trying to talk to her about at the club when they were toying with Freddie, perhaps Kitty will tie into that storyline, that would be an interesting development for her if she is a long term character which I hope she is.

 

Whereas Hunter like… did he do a single thing the entire time he came back for this second stint? :lol: so I’m really not bothered.

He did a ridiculous marriage proposal that didn't make s ense and did a crap dj set support wing man act?

When is the time jump due to take place?

 

I think that was one of the things that initially made me stop watching many moons ago - they either gave you glimpses of new storylines with characters and then just killed them off, or they'd acknowledge and dedicate a whole week to a story with certain characters then they'd go off the grid completely for weeks on end then just show up again to pick up where we left off. :lol:

Yeah it's awful, bur it's a one camera set up, so they have to do it that way! The whole John Paul/ Craig storyline dominating for weeks, rhen vanishin, then back again alll the time, was the nadir of thr show. Also, why Hannah and that one who died in a parcahuting mishap, needed weeks of double dates and acted like those casual uni boyfrisndd were the be and end all of their lives was just...
