Finally caught up! LOL Everything up to Calvin's murder was painful to watch, but after that, the show's been pretty good. Poor Steph...and poor Tom - everyone around him dies.

What's up with Loretta being a psycho now - it came out of nowhere.

Theresa being Calvin's murderer surprised me. Anyone know who the original murderer was before PM changed it?

Has anyone seen this? It's a "where are they now?" segment on the original Hollyoaks cast, there's also character descriptions, and there's even an original cast picture on it.

It's funny how out of everyone, Tony is the only original character left on this show.

I wish more of the early years of this show were available, though, I've heard it took a few months for the show to really find its groove. I know the show aired in reruns for a time on now defunct UK cable channel Trouble, so surely, someone has some tapes of the early years...

Of all the people to introduce a new family I wouldn't have chosen weird and interfering Jem.

Carley is doing such an incredible job with this story, and poor little Tom was heartbreaking when he learned she had cancer. The whole family is doing a great job. I do wish Darren could be involved. Gemma Merna has also been doing wonderful work lately. I felt so awful for Carmel when she realized she wasn't pregnant.

Y&RWT thanks for the update. I never can remember who the originals are, as I thought there were a few others, like some girl who had psychic powers, and also Finn. It's interesting that even then the show was kind of sort of trying to include black characters but none of them have ever really broken through (unless you count Calvin, which I'd rather not as he annoyed me...).

You've probably all seen these already but these are some old clips with Tony and one of his first loves, Julie:

Is it me or is Nancy just awesome.

Rae & Newt are somewhat a good couple,but they need a story and apparantly Rae is contacted till the end of the year so maybe she will "Die".

Steph is really handling this story well and maybe the only good thing going on after the aftermath of Calvin went pearshaped.

It looks like Carley Stenson is leaving the show :(

http://www.e4.com/hollyoaks/interviews/2010/carleystenson.html

So many wonderful characters are already gone and now Michaela and Steph are going too. Marquess's new characters may be a hit (it's hard to tell based on the descriptions, especially if it involves someone trying to be the new Katie Price), but losing these longtime faces is going to hurt. I wish they could bring back a few old names, besides Lee Hunter.

I also wonder what will be with Jack and Frankie. All their kids are going. Are they just going to raise Tom?

I'd rather they just have Tom go live with OB.

Carley's leaving? :( If Steph dies, that's going to be hard to watch.

I hope Ellis Hollins doesn't leave too. He's such a good young actor. And if Hollyoaks is still on 5 years from now, there's a lot of story for teenage Tom.

Carley's been hinting in recent interviews that she didn't know how long she was going to stay with the show, I guess she was planning to leave for a while now.

Still, this sucks, she's Hollyoaks longest serving female character in terms of being on the show consecutive years. The show won't be the same without her.

I don't think they'll get rid of Tom, Frankie and Jack will probably look after him IF Steph dies. I don;t know if they'll even kill her off, If they do, maybe they'll have Max come back to escort her to heaven (hey, it's Hollyoaks!).

I wonder what Carley will do now. I think she was always one of the strongest people on this show, and if she ever does another soap, I think she would be the perfect actress for Corrie. She can handle both comedy and drama well.

I wonder if any other soap would cast her, most Hollyoaks actors don't seem to end up on other soaps, with a few exceptions. Either they aim higher or they just don't get hired.

I'd like to see Gilly and Steph leave together for a new life. Or Steph leaves on her own for a new life. Or she reunites with Cameron, who was so dear to her.

I hope that they won't kill her off. The show has had so many depressing exits for longtime characters. The last "happy" exit for a main character that I can remember was that horribly rushed "Sunset Ending" which was on the back of John Paul's fiance being poisoned and gurgling and choking oncamera.

    • That would be key; I know they have a "Tribeca" set that's active at the moment, so they could easily use the exterior of that set and then create "indoor" sets on the next set budget. I think that'd be a key idea. I love the community lots we presently have, although there is always room for more.

      Like, you cannot tell me that cannot be some kind of shopfront. Or even a salon front Serenity Beauty & Hair?
    • They really did; I know the transition wasn't as beautiful as many thought it should have been, but at least with Mulcahey at the helm, I felt like there was going to be resolve at some point... even if we didn't know what it was at the time. Seeing everyone turn against Sonny, except for Ava (with her mysteriously nefarious reasons), was beautiful to see. Plus, Mulcahey swiftly fixed Alexis' law license issue that had dragged on far too long. Again, was it perfect? No. But did I get a sense that Mulcahey, if given a true chance, could have done some effective changes? Yes. Very glad to know I am not alone in this, and yes, Harper's chemistry with Sawandi Wilson's Isaiah has been lovely. But it seems like every time there is a viable match, TPTB nix it before it can truly begin.
    • Reading all the theories here and on twitter.  Someone wondered if June is connected to Leslie? So now we have June possibly connected to Hayley, to Samantha&Tyrell, or to Leslie. I love that we don't know! To be honest, the first time she aired, I didn't think June was connected to any major character.  I thought she was simply a client who might prove to have an interesting backstory as part of the "have-nots".   But then June dropped the photograph, so that has to be an anvil or mean something.
    • Thanks for the factoid, that's so interesting! (The character, though, was not, LOL. Ridiculous storyline). You know what? Even though he was a core family member, I think you are right. I would much rather they had kept Alan Michael on the canvas to represent the second Spaulding generation. (Of course, they would have had to write some good stories for the character, which, who knows if they would/could have). Reva, yes, I agree. Her shelf life expired when she drove that car off the bridge. The ever increasing desperation to keep her character relevant after she came back was very difficult to watch.
    • I don't suppose you have that August 4, 1995 episode @soapfan770 has with Hope throwing Nikki out of The Newman Ranch?
    • I have taken extremely long breaks from the show because of Sonny and I didn’t watch in the 90’s so I didn’t realize this was a crutch the show used all the time. Hell even though Maurice hates it, it was the most I could tolerate Sonny because he was written as the ass.hole he actually is at his core. His meds working again don’t erase all the characters I’ve either liked or accepted that I had to watch he and Jason murder and somehow come out as the good guys.
    • When I saw the pic of two kids on a stoop, I immediately though it was Samantha and Tyrell but that could be a red herring. The picture is quite old so maybe it is Hayley and June. This would help to bring Naomi back into Hayley and Bill's orbit. If June is Tyrell and Samantha's mother, that story would seem to be a dead end - unless Martin and Smitty adopted them through improper means. I did wonder if Anastasia is who Shanice has been chatting with during her shift. Her line to Ted about making her mouth even bigger? I was scandalized. Anastasia has to return soon.
    • I would DIE if Shanice’s mom lived beyond the gates and was just as messy I loved her so much. Give. Me. More. Absolutely loved this scene. Looking forward to more bonding between them. She is such a find. If her agents are smart, they’re booking her on bigger things as soon as possible. I want to see her blow up. She is THAT good to me. Ambyr and Trisha are the stars of this show for me and why I watch. Bingo. This show actually feeling like a soap that moves has made it so hard for me to watch the others anymore. I love you Thank god you said this. I wish we’d stop taking the bait but this needed to be said. White male leads cheat ALLLLLLLL the time. But this poster seems to think omg two black men that cheated decades apart are about to set us back somehow. I’m about to add them to the ignore list with Donna, I’m sick of the baiting. This was perfectly stated. Preach my friend, preach. As for yesterday’s episode I loved it. The show is handling the fall out from the Eva reveal so damn well for me. And I LOVED that Ted final scene holding Eva’s hand. I guess I’m in the minority since the recast announcement was made but I will miss Maurice and his chemistry with all of his costars as Ted and really wish he could’ve played the entire fall out of the story.
    • I would love to see it as part of a backlot shopping district where characters can bump into one another in a more natural way. Lately there has too much getting up and leaving then coming back during meals at Orphey's and Uptown. It's becoming a distraction. There could be shops, more restaurants and a coworking space. All of the "you will never be a Dupree" lines definitely are pointing to this. This is one of my favorite stories. I love stories about show business and MVJ has a background in the music industry so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Anita instigated the breakup - we have already seen her mean streak come out with Hannah and Eva. I expect one member (she called Sharon today) to be holding a grudge and another member (Tracy) to be somewhat bitter but more open to the idea of a tour, playing the role of peacemaker between Anita and Sharon. Maybe Sharon will pull a Mary Wilson and write tell-all about Anita.
