First of all, the Peapack GL model would be used more with English soaps using huge outdoor "sets".

Second, expect a reduction to a half an hour to happen next with massive cast culls. The stories won't slow down, though...as the English pace tends to be quicker than American serials.

Third, a bunch of people added that aren't related to the core families. A lot of American soaps always see the need to connect someone to everyone else. As much as I like DAYS, everyone's related to each other and it gets annoying at times.

You mean that hack job that happened on GH, or was it when Nick revealed what happened in prison on Days?

I'm not just talking about the male rape story but some of the other stories they've done

Speaking of this story, didn't this Culminate from a bullying story

11 minutes of clips of Paul Danan as Sol Patrick, one of the many damaged stepchildren Jack took in over the years.

There's a quick bit with James Corden (who, once he became famous, promptly trashed his time on Hollyoaks), and a little with Jack and Darren.

Sad to say this is the most I've watched of Hollyoaks in years.

- Less shock value

- More followthrough for stories

- Stop telling social issue stories unless they will truly explore them

- Bring back some old characters to give the show a history

- Drop the mob

- Cut the dead weight. If the only story for Mercedes is another session of her spreading her legs, it's time to go.

This show is just...evil for what it did to Lindsey. Hasn't this woman suffered enough already? I can't believe they had have an abortion.

I'm just sick to my stomach at this turn of events....I don't even know how to process it.

I don't give one flip about John Paul. As far as I'm concerned he's been an idiot ever since this old guy came to town and his judgment hasn't be worth crap. If he had had any sense he would never have laid a finger on Finn and he would have reported all the bullying months ago. Not to mention he would not have let the stupid disturbed teenager sleep at his house. He should have called Diane and Tony right away and given him over to their custody.

I just can't deal with what they're doing to Joe and Lindsey. And Freddy and Sinead can go to hell for all I care.

Okay the show is on Hulu and of course I am back. I will never leave Hollyoaks now. I find it a bit of a pain to watch stuff on my laptop so I'm glad I have a TV option for this. It looks GREAT on TV and the production values seem to only get better with time. I don't really know what to think about stories yet since I've only watched about a weeks worth of episodes. After 20 episodes I should have a better idea. I need to get to know so many characters.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
