Well, at least we know that Pete's alive. Macca could be dead somewhere in an Ireland ditch, for all we know. I don't know what to say about it, CarlD2. Other than, I really think that maybe one of HOL writers are trying to base this character and how he's written on the US daytime soap stable of the "redeemable" rapists/abusers that exists on 3 of the remaining 6 soaps currently on air.

Look at the Warren character: He killed his fiance, Louise and then was "killed" by Claire. Then, he comes back from the dead (after the actor couldn't find a job outside of the industry) and now he's on his third relationship with another woman and having a "bromance" war with another abusive male character, Brendan Brady.

Here's a Hollyoaks Backstage video with Jamie Lomas (Warren Fox) and Rachel Shenton (Mitzeee) as they film the scenes where Warren tells Mitzeee all about Louise.

I know as much as I love the show it's only been within the last 6-8 months where there's really been any actual Storylines guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm intrigued to know who's going to win the awards out of all the soaps tomorrow night.

Interview with Emmett Scanlan on Digital Spy:

Part 1 - http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/interviews/a320338/emmett-scanlan-brendan-brady-hollyoaks.html

Part 2 - http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/scoop/a320339/emmett-scanlan-interview-part-two.html

I just love that Emmett hasn't romanticized his character, in the way that many of the Stendan fans have, to the detriment of what's happened to the Stephen character. Stephen's a complete afterthought for some of them.

I'm know I'm probably the only one but I'm going to miss my Alex Carter terribly. :( Him and Ashley Slanina-Davies had great chemistry. I only wish the show hadn't kept going in circles with the Amy/Lee/Leanne story.

The other two, especially Duncan, are just beautiful gifts of fate. Thank you world. Bronagh Waugh has recently expressed that she has been trying to urge the writers to give her a story. Let's hope Philips tells her to shove it! :)

I wonder if they really left of their own choice or if they were fired? Would Alex Carter suddenly decide on new adventures after only a year?

Marquess failed him badly.

I know that a lot of people like Duncan but I thought he was repulsive and offensive and cheap and he's one of the reasons I gave up on the episodes after a few months. As for Ricky, he's just dead-eyed and not much else.

If only this meant the show was actually doing anything of value. I hope it's a start.

I think Alex Carter did probably leave on his own as he was only originally going to be around for six months. He left Emmerdale because they didn't use him properly, so there's no reason why he would stay at Hollyoaks for the same reason.

Unfortunately, I don't think it means anything hopeful. One word: Savages.

The thing I fear most now though is the backburnering of Amy. :(

It seems the show is finally playing with the cast and mixing up the characters a bit next week. I won't be watching, since most of the week centers on Ruby, but it's good to see different people will be interacting. However, the show feels like a transition period and really needs a new solid story to make it watchable again.

I was waiting for you to post that! With Marquess gone, I hope a permanent return is in the cards, especially since I feel Jorgie Porter could leave soon (If she were smart!).

I agree about actors on the show as well. Dawson, Moss and Richardson are the only strong actors on this show. Plus, with Kent, that crazy accent always had me smiling.

And hopefully, on a happier note, the latest spoiler about the Liberty/Ethan/Theresa storyline has me starting to (ignorantly) believe Ethan and Liberty could be written out together soon enough.

    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Ambyr doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.
