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.
