Thanks! So do you watch Hollyoaks?

I'm still not sure how to feel about this story. Kieron is a wonderful actor and I'm glad the show is going to try to bring up some of his past to explain the character's new feelings, but Brendan is just such a silly character, and whereas when Ste beat Amy, I was very scared for her, I'm not sure if I can believe anything Brendan does to Ste. I keep expecting him to blow a house down. That mustache is also silly. I think it's style over substance and you can't have that in this type of story, IMO.

They do seem to have chemistry though.

The reaction to an actor coming out is usually oh who cares/ oh how could you not tell/everyone knew/publicity stunt how pathetic, but even now I think making that leap is tough to do and I appreciate Kieron doing this, especially on a very popular morning show. I'm surprised they aired the kiss. ITV certainly does not show men kissing on their soaps most of the time. I don't know if you watch Emmerdale but what they've done with Aaron and Jackson is just laughable.

That's good news about Charlotte. I hope she comes back. I don't see the point in writing her out. It's not like the students are full of fascinating names. I read a comment at DS saying it was OK she left because she didn't live up to her potential and was not part of a unit. I'm not sure what units have to do with it -- the Valentines were a huge part of the show and a big family unit, but Marquess still knew they had to go. The show isn't really in a place to where they can just keep firing people, especially since many of the new characters have been iffy.

Carl, I follow Hollyoaks (I guess I have since that one gay storyline became popular on youtube) but I admit I'm not a regular viewer--if it was on TV here I probably would be though (or more so).I actually agree with your thoughts completely (down tot he mustache lol), but am willing to see how it plays out.

And you're exactly right--it's kinda annoying all the responses from people that are basically "of course he's gay"--because i think it's still pretty difficult to do in this day and age (particularly when you're the type of actor he is--someone who is potentially a romantic lead, as opposed to a character actor).

Well, that's odd.

Looking at the 2010 Hollyoaks Hunks Calender, and for February they have some actor named TOM HUGHES who is supposed to be playing a character named, "Logan Fairhurst." If this is the case, why hasn't he been on screen or announced to show up anytime soon?

In other news, Wikipedia lists Kevin Smith (the alien) and Jem Costello as leaving. They've been wrong before but I'll be quite happy if both are true, especially the latter.

I know he's been on for what seems like ever, and he's very handsome--but I can never take him too seriously because I first watched him on the budget S Club wannabe show StarStreet (which for some reason we got for all of 6 months here in Canada) and as a member ofits accompanying cheezey pop band AllSTARS (yes, I own the CD...) I admit that's still who I always think of...

HAHA yeah the show itself was an odd mix of S Club with like sorta less inspired Pee Wee's Playhouse type surrealism. It was a fave of me and my roomates as it aired Sunday afternoons when we'd be lazy and hungover. LOL (and actually I do quite fancy him--he's the main reason I started watching Hollyoaks, but, still...)

One last clip and then back to Hollyoaks--apparently the TV show is finally coming to DVD! lol

You and your Pop star knowledge. Sometimes it scares me. ^_^

Anyway, I,m just happy Marquess seems to really get Darren and sees him as one of the main leads of the show, like he should be. I yearn for the day that he and Cindy finally reunite. They are meant to be! :wub: Of course, that,s only because RARREN' to go, does not seem to be catching on.

    • Of course, sexy silver fox Dr. Jeffrey Russell has to be in cahoots with EJ so that Kayla's morals don't look selfish and skewed when she is completely in the wrong in letting Steve accidentally on purpose look at the important hospital files. Anyone find it funny that a handful of characters slurred their words today?  I can't quite explain it, but sometimes, like today, I feel like Deidre Hall plays scenes too light or passive, for lack of a better word. She's definitely more known as a charismatic personality than powerhouse actress compared to her soap diva counterparts from other soaps, but I just wish she could give me more. I did, however, like that her scenes with EJ got a 'to be continued...' about Belle. Maybe then I'll see more of what I want from her. Have Shawn and Johnny literally ever had a scene together before today? If they start having Sarah in a scene where she connects with literally any other Horton, then I'll be really impressed.  I'm glad they went through the trouble of explaining why EJ bid on Cat. It made enough sense, and I laughed when Chad spit out his asking about it as soon as humanly possible.

    • But Leslie is doing it all for her daughter.

      Such a liar. Great episode but Martin needs to be recast. He hasn't improved. I didn't feel anything for him because of his acting and the writing. He has been so isolated from Ted and Nicole that he doesn't seem like their son, much less family. Leslie is pure evil. She wants Ted and the house and the riches that go with it. She doesn't care about Eva. I felt really bad for Eva.
    • I dont understand the motivation behind it. Eva is her link to Ted and the Duprees and without her, she has nothing. It would have served better for Eva to be all fed up with her and leave the house on her own and Leslie try to make amends bc she needs her for this comeup she's been talking about. Eva can repair her relationship with Ted and maybe build something with the Duprees and cut her out
    • So good today Dante is overreacting blaming gio Hopefully Danny will come clean
    • Not mad at Leslie Locking Eva out, I think it's important for the audience to see her on her own for a while. Curious how scrappy and savvy she becomes on her own. Yeah, I am with you there. It feels a bit hollow; maybe if she was talking to Martin and Kat I would feel better about it. There must be more to this story. Daphnee and Ambyr owned this episode. Tugging my heart in every scene. Nicole process hurt and anger much differently than Dani though.
    • I also really enjoyed Eva's scenes with Kat today. They have an interesting chemistry. I thought it really did feel a bit like sisters at conflict. Especially with the way that Eva was trying to convince Kat to forgive Ted and them both coming to the conclusion that the man they thought was their father was different wasn't who they really thought he was initially. And the way that Eva broke down when Kat said that she was dead to her was emotional stuff. I really do think that in spite of their conflict/bickering Eva really would have loved to have gained a sister, along with a brother, father, etc... Also, I thought it was interesting how Eva kept saying that she loves Ted and Nicole. That and Leslie mentioning that Kat/Eva are almost twins really does make me wonder if Kat may really be her twin and Nicole's as well. I would gladly welcome that outcome, even if it takes a while for it to come out. At this point Leslie doesn't deserve Eva as a daughter as far as I'm concerned. And I would forward to a storyline where we found out that she's Nicole's second baby girl, and all the complex and ultimately happy feelings that would bring Nicole. Eva/Kat could still have a rivalry, especially if Nicole ended up doing some more bonding with Eva. And then we could get the rest of the family's reaction to that as well.
