For moment I read "James" and thought "John Paul" and immediately was like NNNNOOOOOOOO

 

I'm totally on board with a James/Harry coupling but it would take a level of great writing which I have rarely to see on Hollyoaks. ESP considering how they first got together in a sexual manner was so lewd and wrong on a host of levels. I just don't see how Harry or anyone could really subject themselves to being with some one who treated them like a prostitute....

In real life, sure. In Hollyoaks, it's not really that surprising. If they wrote them as complex and both playing a game and not wanting to admit to feelings behind it, it would work. The chemistry is there, which it has never been with Ste and Harry.

A US soap wouldn't know what to do with five gay men. Or Esther. How is there not more of an outcry for more lesbian representation on the US soaps? All we ever hear about is the desire to see two men making out, which is great, but still ... interesting.

Peri and Nico are trash. Ugh.

 

Loved Alfie/James.

 

Always a pleasure to see yummy Nathan.

 

It's wash, rinse and repeat with Maxine. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Trevor's replacement is already tiring my nerves and while I love the actress, Sienna has long needed to not be around. She can take her nasty daughter with her.

I am loving the show right now. Where are the Loveday parents though? I'm a week behind and I'd say the last time they were on was around May, I hope they return. The real Lisa is a joy to watch, she could give Grace a run for her money as the new HBIC. I liked how she called Sonia and passed herself off as a nurse to tell her Jade was in ER, which led to Ste stealing the garage money.
I'm finally beginning to care about Ste & Harry. Kieron really is doing a stellar job. I truly felt for him during the stand-alone episode. I thought the end had a nice message, that when you need professional help you have to do it, whether it's a drug addiction or mental issues, etc.
I'm so over Cameron. And Nico. I find it hard to believe she would want to hurt a cancer patient when she went through a life-threatening illness herself.
KMan101, I am so sad to have to agree with you on Sienna. Anna Passey is just wasted these days, she's one soap actress I think could have a bright future, much like my beloved Rakhee (ex-Shabnam, EE), so I'd miss them on my shows but feel they're doing the right thing.

    • 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.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
