AIBU?
Hollyoaks. The acting is painfully bad.

I know I'm probably the only person on mumsnet who watches Hollyoaks ( I watch whilst waiting for C4 news ) but honestly, with all the talent that must be out there why are the actors so bad?
The guy that plays Harry is the most wooden actor I've ever seen in my life, it's like watching Acorn Antiques.
I know I don't have to watch it but it's just annoying because good story lines are wasted on bad actors.

Sorry, YABU.
The bad acting adds to the cheese effect.
It won't be credible with good acting when there is a kidnapping every week, parents routinely can't tell if a child isn't their or simply gets a new head, long lost cousins crawl out of the woodwork so frequently you could mistake them for cockroaches, the murder rate (and death rate of under 30s in general) would cause there to be a public inquiry into policing in the area.
If the acting was good, we would be forced to believe that Tom was indeed the Angel of Death.
Speaking of which, how the heck has Perry survived so long?

I know someone who was in it in the past. They were cast through a modelling agency no acting necessary. Watched them in it for a giggle - they were terrible. They then asked me what I thought. Errm... 'well, you can only do so much with a terrible script' was as kind as I could bear.

I love Hollyoaks too. I dint get to watch it all the time (damp you, children!), but when I can watch it in peace, I am very very happy. It matters not that I don't know what's going on, as none of it makes any sense at all.
I presume that botox woman is grace.
Why is Ste suddenly desired by everyone?
Why does that oldest Roscoe look like a sad bunny?
What does Nancy do to piss off the show's hairdressers?
I love hollyoaks. Can't stand the new loveday family tho
