I have no idea why Vincent is on the show. He's frankly not attractive at all and his relationships with Phoebe and George just ring very inauthentic to me. I just don't get it....

I never noticed how big a presence Frazier has become to the show. Especially now that he's attached to so many characters on the show...T, Sandy & The Roscoes, Trevor, and Clare's sister (who's name eludes me at the moment).

I absolutely loathe Danny and since the writers have practically made JP a whore, he might as well start fooling around with Ste. Character can't get any lower in terms of quality for me. I say go for it (hot torrid affair under Danny's nose) and then pull out all the stops to get Craig back by Summer of 2104.

They dropped Darren being Sandy's son as quickly as they revealed it which is annoying. But perhaps they'll revisit that later. Mercedes needs to get over Dr. Death. Its beyond pathetic at this point. Yes it was hot while it lasted and I think they could have been perfect for each other but for the fact that he was a psychotic lunatic who tried to kill her mother and then attempted to kill HER. Girl please let it go.

I'm not sure how much more I can watch of Patrick slowly destroy Maxine....:(

I don't think Guy Burnet will ever come back, and I kind of hope he doesn't.

Kirkwood consistently fails at any social issue stories, or any stories with depth, so they should just have Ste and JP have an affair. Ste's mouth would be too busy to sneer and whine, and JP's own stories are generally the same misery and "secret" again and again, with worse acting and writing every time.

This show is such a mess.

The Carmel story is terrible. It's the typical trash of female character discovers she can't (possibly) have kids, so randomly becomes obsessed with having one. I will give them credit for linking it to an STD, which beats the usual car crash/fall/accident that so often leaves soap women baron. I will also give them credit for finally writing Theresa to match her horrible personality.

The OTT, OMG! moments are eating the show up; the writing is so hollow, that all the stories have no aftermath, reaction or any decent motivation for happening. Everything is for shock factor.

The only story that has had any kind of depth and pathos has been Cindy and Dirk, and her pregnancy. I really hate how they've ended that relationship, b/c it was actually developing Cindy into a more humane character.

The show has too much Fraser, Grace, Trevor, violence and crime, kidnappings, Roscoes, and random hook-ups that go nowhere.

As sick and twisted as Robbie is for what he did or attempted to do with Sinead....Sinead lost a lot of points of points with me for even agreeing to go thru with it so in a way the little perv is right. She is absolutely the worst for even considering going thru with it behind Freddie's back.

I just can't with this character anymore. Finn is a retarded. I hope for Diane's sake that the twins turn out way better but with Tony as the father I highly doubt it.

Watching Freddie get sucked into the Frasier orbit is juts painful. Grace is just annoying. Mercedes didn't even lay a finger on Claire so I don't get it....wasn't it Browning that killed Claire? Why does this witch keep insisting that Mercy did it?

Ruby is gonna make me so sad right now....but I love how fierce the b*tch is now with Frankie

I don't get it either. This continued and never ending bullying of JP hasn't instilled any "brilliant and fascinating" drama for me.

I'm still just amazed that the show has gone out of their way to make sure, crystal clear and that no viewer is mistaken about the domestic abuse situation that Maxine is currently going through with Patrick. The show isn't willing to ride the "epic bandwagon" that kept Stendan thriving and Ste being assaulted by his lover for over three years and seen as love by the audience.

Any guesses on how long it will take before fans start talking about John Paul got what he deserved, and crying for Finn because he didn't know what he was doing, and he's the real victim, and he's so so cute? Or how he and Robbie must both secretly be gay, and therefore let's ship them and they're so cute and hot?

Hmm... 2 weeks?

I'm livid by the interview here: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/interviews/a542587/hollyoaks-writer-jessica-lea-talks-john-paul-finn-rape-storyline.html

What's it like for a family to have a rapist in it? We'll be seeing the story from Finn's side? I liked the character of Finn. This has completely ruined him. I wonder if they'll do a softening of the rape eventually the way they did EJ on Days.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • My bad….ill fix that  Fixed 
    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.
