Hollyoaks: Discussion Thread

[DRW50]

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.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Well, Marquess is getting rid of all of the Ashworths, barring Rhys, soon, so that's going nowhere.

It seems like Allan intentionally went out of her way to leave this show in a mess.

[DRW50]

I loved Malachy putting the screws to Calvin in his best man speech. Mal's great (and he's so hot!).

What has Suzanne done to her face?

[BadBoy93]

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.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

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...

[BadBoy93]

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

[DRW50]

Clare, no contest.

Andy was also very good. I think they wasted that actor on the role though. He was handsome and incredibly charismatic and had a hot body.

[BadBoy93]

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.

[DRW50]

Barry was great but the story ran a bit too long and it was hard to care at times. I think he had much more potential in a story which wasn't about him being a psycho.

[Bright Eyes]

Before Andy, who were the other major villains on this show?

[BadBoy93]

Rob Hawthorne (Dunno what he did -something to do with drugs)

Scott Anderson (The 2001 version of Warren Fox and he was a footballer)

Toby Mills (Again dunno what he did)

[DRW50]

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.

Steph has epilepsy? Learn something new everyday. LoL

Was the guy who raped Luke (I think that was his name) a big villain?

Hmm, Scott is still alive. Maybe him and Clare meet in prison ...

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...
