I think BBC,ITV and CHannel 4 need to reorganise these soaps.

EE should be on 3 times a week (Monday 8pm,Wednesday 7.30pm,Friday 8pm)

Corrie needs to knock off an episode off Monday & Friday

Emmerdale is fine but needs more publicity

Oaks needs to get rid of E4 First Look and get a new time.

They're students. Dave is leaving. He's a godson of the Ashworths. Charlotte is bisexual, she was an ex-girlfriend of psychotic Lydia, who accidentally killed Sarah. India is a student who was cast in some big casting call last year. She's been involved with Josh, and then Rhys, which helped drive Josh further to the bottle and further away from a hairdresser. She may be most remembered for wonderful scenes where she sh!t herself.

when did she S*** herself lol

India is sexy but lacks RAW talent that Ben Davies & Louise Summers had (They had the same casting cull India had).

Charlotte is good and would like more stories around

Dave annoys me

Monday`s episode is usual Lucy Allen boredom. Who Killed Calvin? is just a terrible dull story. I reckon it will be Mercedes.

It has hit me today that i think Hollyoaks is worn out. You can introduce fresh faces and fresh stories but i just reckon that this soap is all worn out.

It was early on in India's run (no pun intended) I think. I remember a lot of shock about it at Digital Spy.

I think there's still a change for Hollyoaks to be reinvented, if Marquess knows what to do and if Channel 4 gives it a chance. It's not like they have a lot else.

true but watching Lucy Allan`s material is just draining the show`s life. Not even The McQueens can save it and they are the best things on the show.

I am going to ask a certain someone a question i askeed about DS.

What were in your opinion the highs and lows of Lucy Allan`s run in Hollyoaks.

-Characters

-Storylines

-Stunts

-Other

I know it will be mostly negative but i want to see a long rant from someone.I am in the mood.

I think the McQueens are only at their strongest with good material, which they haven't had since 2007.

I haven't seen enough of the show over the past few years to give a full opinion, but I do have to give a special shoutout to Teresa/Calvin, an idea which is lazy and horrific beyond the telling.

And Clare being beaten by Sasha, of all people.

And to Kirkwood for bringing in unbearable Spencer, and Allan keeping him on. Ugh.

Spencer is just a terrible character. Why was he around after Warren died. They should lock him up and throw away the key.

I want Clare back soo much. She and a number of past characters could really save the show.

Does anyone remember Will Hackett. i enjoyed the story where she was spying on Zoe with the webcam and then drugging her. That was a great storyline.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/
