British Soap HOLLYOAKS is coming to America!

[RogerNewcomb]

Someone just turned me on to John Paul & Craig. Looks like a great story. I'm happy to hear Hollyoaks in on the way to the US!

Great scene:

How exciting! I've always wanted to check HollyOaks out~ and I love Doctor Who and really want to see the spin-off Torchwood. This is great news. Can't wait to see all this start.

It'll still be sad to see shows like Keeping Up Appearances, leave. I've always loved that show. It's soo funny.

[mateo22]

I'm sure they will. BBC already airs some of Doctor Who, even while Sci-Fi was running it. Both seasons were just great and I can't wait for the third. I fell in love with Rose/Billie Piper and I've always wanted to see the spin-off Torchwood with John Barrowman, who is smokin' and so likable.

I agree Mateo, I love KUA and have to have my daily dose of Hyacinth "Bouquet" I guess I'll have to check the PBS schedule and see if they still air it.

[mateo22]

OMG, I love it! She's so crazy and hilarious. PBS still airs it every once in awhile here, so I hope to catch it there as well. Ah, British humour....so fabulous

The Craig and John Paul storyline is a very good one and is still continuing. If BBC America start showing from September 06 then you will see the beginning of their friendship, leading onto well you know what lol.

Here is how soap magazine "Soaplife" covers Hollyoaks if anyone is interested, DO NOT click these if you intend on watching Hollyoaks on BBC America, as this is for the next two weeks here in UK, but hey spoil yourself rotten lol....

Don't get attached ... I'm sure BBC America will ax Hollyoaks as soon as you get attached, just like they got rid of EastEnders. The channel is incompetent.

[slinden]

I will be able to stream some episodes of Hollyoaks which are airing here in the UK. I will record Mondays episode and steam it on Tuesday.

Ill stream at 8am ET and 10amET (if anyone wants a different time let me know)

If you are interested then say so here, and i will PM you with my private stream link.

Thanks

Shaun

Thanks for the info. I can't say I'll miss Benny Hill, but I still enjoy Keeping Up Appearances.

Sorry for draging this up...

"Before the first episode, members of the cast give you a guided tour of Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks: The Story So Far premieres on Sunday, June 3 at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT and encores Monday, June 4 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

BBC AMERICA serves up a daily dose of must-see drama with a regular weeknight visit to the fictional suburb of Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks airs Monday through Friday at 10:30 p.m. premiering Monday, June 4 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT."

Now i dont suppose anyone can record Story So Far, and put it on YouTube lol

[heatherwebber]

From what I see on their website's schedule, it looks like they'll repeat the previous night's episode each night at 10 right before running the new one at 10.30. Then the whole week in a block Saturday afternoon at 1 PM (which is the time Eastenders failed before they yanked it.)

[slinden]

Do you think Hollyoaks will do well for the channel?

[heatherwebber]

I hope it does well. And I hope it causes them to bring back "Hollyoaks- In the City" and play the rest of the episodes they skipped.

But I think 10 repeat/10.30 new episode is an odd time so it might be difficult. At least it's starting in the summer when there's really no competition at all.

I Dont understand why they cant bring Emmerdale or Coronation Street to America they are 100% better then Hollyoaks, i am not a fan of teensoapoperas.
