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.

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.

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.

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."

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.)

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.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
