The time jump was such bs. Hollyoaks struggled a lot this year and not just because of reducing the episodes and axing fan favorites.

The JJ-Frankie storyline is as really something “new” for that soap genre and well done. BUT NOW they made the abuser JJ sick so Frankie will struggle to go on to get him behind bars.

I don’t know what they were thinking with this and what they will do with this now but it’s a slap for all fans of that storyline that wanted real justice. I mean do they want us to feel sorry now and redeem that dude that abused his sister? This storyline alone is a reason now for oaks to be cancelled next year lol

Mercedes is sick too. Ugh. Great acting overall and with the right material Jen delivers and shows she can be more than a slapper. 
 

im not really feeling oaks anymore which is a shame

I have watched up to the final week before the reboot, but I haven't gotten to the time jump episodes yet. I'm having a hard time with what they did with the cast cuts. I get that cuts needed to be made, but even if you decided to write off Cindy, did you have to also write off Tom? Couldn't we have continued to see him grow and keep that family alive? Then the other exit I found incredibly short-sighted was James. He was one of their strongest male leads and I liked the family unit he had with Ste. I didn't understand that at all.

I do plan to at some point start binging the reboot, but I can't say I'm thrilled with what I've heard so far.

BiG SURPRISE: 

Danny Mac returns as Dodger after 10 years and it will be a permanently return. He started filming already and will be seen in January!

OK! That is a return I didn’t expected… BUT he will be involved with Sienna and her family which is not a good sign coz that storyline has been a flop already lol I bet he will be as wasted as Hannah Ashworth

Great trailer but this whole Abe story is really too far fetched by now and more annoying than exciting.

Mercedes kinda lost Felix and Warren and now she gets written as a tension for Grace/Freddie. UGH enough of Mercedes ffs

I’ve heard about Nancy’s new story coming up and I’m not thrilled. Why are they doing Nancy and Darren so dirty again ?

I finally decided to start the reboot. I started with stunt week and now am getting ready to start Sienna and Ethan's wedding week. I'll say I'm enjoying it, but I still am not sold on all of the cast changes. I do think Tom should've remained and James is a difficult one for me to take, but I can accept that depending on what develops for Ste in the reboot. Misbah, Donny and Diane all could've gotten the boot. I'm shocked they were kept. Especially Misbah considering she no longer has any family on the show. I would've kept Sally over her in particular. 

The highlight for me has been the Frankie/JJ story. They cast these roles incredibly well and it's such a complicated story and the entire family is knocking it out of the park. I also am kinda enjoying Mercedes cancer story but I hate she's run through so many love interests. I wish they hadn't run through so many men with her because it makes it hard to care once they decide to put her back in a romantic situation. Also, it hasn't been featured a ton yet but I am very interested in Cleo's kidnapping and can't wait to see more of that.

I'm glad they're uploading the show in an omnibus. It makes catching up less daunting since it's just an hour a week. I'm going to try to catch up as soon as possible and I think it's strong enough I'll stick with it.

    • That was so surprising to me today. I didn’t see any spoilers that this was coming up so I loved it!
    • Well, VI was leaving, and while Long admits that killing him was stupid...I do agree with letting him go with a big bang...body missing.  They spent a lot of time and money on Infinity, (which I think might have gotten a bit of a better reputation had it not been the harbinger of a total tonal change with the Bauers and Reardon's decimated and its all Reva and the Lewis and the weird people hanging out around Kyle) so they needed it to end dramatically. They could have done so much more with having Alex go after Kyle and Billy, but that ends and she starts moping over weird and boring Simon. With Kurt..what were you going to do.. cute but boring and perfect and with ties to no one (they had a nice little thing where Bea took him under her wing when everyone left but then she did too..) If they had the balls they would have had Rick and Mindy jump in the sack ( I know, Mindy should have learned birth control by then) I would have had it be Mindy who knows about Rick's drug use and she tries to help him...(not that nobody who came and went) of course, Kurt and Roxie misunderstand..that on top of her bad Sampson Girl thing leaves him to leave her temporarily, and in grand soap tradition, Rick and Mindy console each other (again, I would write it that they always really did, and Mindy rushed into things with Kurt) and she gets knocked up, and loving Rick but also Kurt she chooses to believe it is Kurts (which I could see Princess Mindy doing "My life is perfect and I will it that way, this is Kurts kid")But, she had the dumb model thing, then she burned down the house he was building, she tried to get prefers and he dies (but also Kobe was the one who built him up, then she was gone when he was let go.) Ross believe it or not is one of the last of the "old guard" characters, beside Ed (who is now FauxEd) and Maureen, and Henry and Van (who is ties to being the Lewis family mope.) JVD has made jokes that they didn't write him out as they simply forgot that he was there! Reva doesn't even call her mother when she comes back! I never saw the use of Sarah but they could have reunited them and sent her and Hawk out of town together. Hell, I don't like the Shaynes but she should have mentioned Roxie and Rusty.  The weird thing is that Dylan had a ton of story and was very important to the Van/Bridget baby custody story. By the time Reva comes back Dylan had only been gone a year so its not like people wouldn't know him..( I liked him and Bridget together...) So he comes back in 97 and acts like it's no big deal Reva is alive so they must have talked off camera. But Reva was too busy squacking about that annoying toothy Marah and blank Shayne to talk about anything else.  It's not quite as weird as Van, who obsessed over Peter, comes back to SF and never mentions him...i.e. "I saw Peter this weekend and he so barely remembers me but he is happy with Bridget and Dylan...") 
    • Excellent! The OLTL-GH promo places this and the RH episode (which I assume aired directly before this AMC) as airing during the week of Aug. 20.
    • Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.
    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
