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.

    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
