Members cassadine1991 Posted February 1, 2014 Members Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Didn't Hollyoaks do a male rape storyline before this current one? Edited February 1, 2014 by cassadine1991 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted February 1, 2014 Members Share Posted February 1, 2014 A long time ago, with Luke Morgan...but the current story is under much differing circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 It aired in primetime. Remember when Hollyoaks wanted us to sympathize with victims and not victimizers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why can't American soaps have these kinds of storylines, makes me wonder how they would be if one of the EPs from this or the other British soaps were hired 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited February 2, 2014 by Winchester91 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 An American soap did a male rape story a few years ago. This Hollyoaks version is basically shock value, so it's tough to compare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited February 2, 2014 by cassadine1991 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Doesn't seem all that bad, of course it depends on who the EP is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Whoa, Jack has really aged at a quick pace. DW50, you're always bashing the show, so I was wondering...How do you suggest it improve? Edited February 8, 2014 by Winchester91 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 - 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted March 5, 2014 Members Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hollyoaks is on Hulu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 5, 2014 Members Share Posted March 5, 2014 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
