I've always thought Zoe was underrated too. One thing to keep in mind is that she had chemistry with every single love interest she ever had. Psycho Will, steady Zak, wild card Darren, daddy figure Mike, best friend Sarah -- she was great with ALL of them. I hope that she gets some work. I still miss Jennifer Biddall/Jess.

I am just now finishing up the episode from the 18th and it's not exactly smooth sailing. One after the other we had...

1. Scenes with the horribly annoying Spencer, who is like a dinner theater production of Rain Man. He makes Sasha look like Garbo.

2. Scenes with Texas, who, together with India, makes me fear some sort of secession nuclear powered catastrophe of bad acting.

3. Scenes with the posh boy toughie, who seems like he just got out of gay porn, not like he's any type of gang threat.

I'm glad for the scene where Tony apologized to Jacqui for how he had treated her when they were together. I was a fan of Tony/Jacqui :(

Speaking of the Mystery Murder rejects, I actually didn't mind the lesbian chick. Whoever the hell she is.

And ugh, I really don't like Darren hooking up with Mrs. Ashworth. So stupid, just like his random/nonsensical relationship with Hannah. Anything Marquess gives him has got to be better than this mush.

Friday`s episode was good stuff. The Killer does make sense,but i would have picked someone else.

I think the only reason I like India is because she is attractive,especially this week in that cheerleader outfit. Don`t like Texas. Hopefully she is short term.

I love Darren but don`t like where they are taking the character.

Next Week is the aftermath and it is going to be very interesting.

Lucy Allan is still credited in next Monday's episode. We might see Marquess's name in the credits sometime next week, or in the week after, I would guess.

I wonder what they're going to do with Carmel now that she's finally away from Calvin. Would she make a good love interest for Lee? They're both somewhat "comedic" characters and could be a real quirky couple. Or would Lee be better off paired with Steph as she's like the only one he knows? I don't really like Gilly and Steph...

I would like to see them try out Gilly & Steph and see if it works. If it doesn`t then introduce someone new for Steph. I can see Lee & Carmel together,that would be very interesting.

Also BRING BACK BOMBHEAD lol him & lee were great.

I also have a question for all Hollyoaks Fans.

Out of all of them Male And Female, which is in your opinion the best Hollyoaks Villian out of the whole 15 years.

Mine are

Niall Rafferty

Clare Devine

Andy Holt

Scott Anderson

Sam Owen

I disagree. Niall was a pyschopath. Killed three people on Hollyoaks (Max,Keiran & Tina) and then killed himself. Plus Barry Sloane was just great.

I like Clare but her 2009 return was pointless. She left on such a high note and would have been great if she got away with it.

The biggest villain on the show for their first 3 or 4 years was a man named Rob Hawthorne. He made life hell for the show's main hero, Kurt Benson, and got Kurt's sister Lucy hooked on drugs.

Another villain was Scott Anderson.

There was also Toby Mills, a serial killer (he's the reason Steph has epilepsy -- he attacked her; she was the only one of his victims to survive). His supposed best mate, Dan Hunter, ended up being tried and put in prison for the murders Toby committed, because his wife/Dan's sister Ellie wouldn't admit what Toby had done.

They don't mention Steph's epilepsy very often. I haven't seen the show much the past few years but after Max died, when Steph wanted to become a weather girl, she was doing some report for Zoe and she was shocked by a light or something and had a seizure. In summer 2007 she also had a seizure when she was very stressed. Max took care of her. That was one of the reasons they began to fall in love.

The guy who raped Luke was a villain at the time but not a long-running villain.

There was also Macki, a racist thug who caused huge problems for Justin and his family, a story which dominated the show in 2005 and is probably one of the reasons people stayed interested...

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too
    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
