Brendan is a huge FAIL and I blame the actor completely. He's about as menacing as kitten.

And, this Jacqui/Rhys story is extremely forced. Plus, Jacqui is too big of a character for Rhys, Darren would be more her equal. Rhys would be better with Nancy.

This Texas chick is another bland, dull and lifeless character. She brings India/Dave/Charlotte down. But man, when watching their scenes, it's so hard not remember the glory days of Kris/Zak/Zoe/Jess. :(

Bombhead will be on the Freshers spin-off with Lee.:mellow:

Maybe he'll eventually transition to the main show as well.

I hate these types of silly "comedic characters." I'm not watching right now, but I hope he doesn't make it to the show show, the show already has too many useless and annoying "comedic characters."

The father reminds me of Brad Garrett, ugh.

The daughter reminds me of another British soap actress but I can't think of who.

I think this Friday is Dave's last episode on the main show. It's too bad. I know some will say oh well he was so boring, or smug, good riddance, I thought he was a droll, unique character, with good comic timing. Someone said the actor left by his own choice to do a movie. I hope that's true.

Bombhead was OK but unfortunately today's Hollyoaks only seems to see comic relief as the pratfalls and pig faces of Cheryl and Duncan. I don't think they would know how to write for him.

He reminds me of that midget actor, I can't remember his name...the one who was in Death at a Funeral. At least that guy can act and has presence. This guy just has ridiculous facial hair. And Veronica is possibly the WORST actress I've seen on this show.

Surprised to see Bombhead -- and I don't think his return was hinted at anywhere was it? Bring back Zara now! I must say that it seems like no time has passed. Bombhead and Lee are the same as ever. It's nice continuity.

I'm really going to miss Dave. He's so funny and handsome in a unique way and I love his friendship with Charlotte. It is one of the most realistic male/female friendships I have ever seen on a soap.

I will give the show points for not casting a feeble old fossil for some type of "ew" or "ha ha" moment with India/Tex's grandfather. He's actually a very attractive man -- frankly, more attractive than some of the men being passed off as hunks. I hope he stays around, I think he makes India and Tex more interesting. India is coming into her own a bit more. Tex has potential but right now reminds me so much of Louise. I'm glad that they had India learn about what Rhys did to Josh, I was surprised they remembered that.

I'm also glad they're continuing to include Myra in storylines and using her for comedy. She seems to be on a lot more lately than I remember her being in the times I watched Lucy Allan's era.

Aside from how Veronica is playing Brendan like a fiddle this whole story is dull. So is the stuff with Jacqui/Rhys so far. Not dull so much as rushed.

The past few episodes have been pretty good, obviously barring any waste of time where Duncan and Cheryl are involved.

Was it just me or did Darren actually manage to kind of make Jem somewhat likable. That was a clear chemistry test, IMO.

This cancer story is the only real story on this show and it shows because the biggest bright spot the show has. Though, I am enjoying the Cindy SL as well. Dave/Charlotte/India are must watch as well. The actors and characters are just very likable, but Texas is another in a huge heap of dull lifeless characters/actors on this show. She's another huge fail. I hope Dave's exit is open ended.

The O'Conners were alright in their first episode. Nothing to complain about yet.

    • 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!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
