HI

Do you think it is acceptable for a child, just turned 6 to watch Hollyoaks? I am not going to state my feelings on this as I want an unbaised opinion. Thank you.

I don't think it's acceptable for anyone to watch it.

When I worked in a bar the customers used to talk of it as wank fodder before they came for their Sunday pint.

Confused as to why this is in relationships?

I have never watched it but would guess it wasn't suitable for a 6 year old.

No I don't. Am sick of the overt sex on early evening and daytime TV. Magazines too.

Hollyoaks is shite. I refuse to have it on in my house.

I have older children than that, they nor I have never had any interest in Hollyoaks, I did watch it when it first came out there was that Jeremy bloke who went on to Holby City in it then... I let my children watch EastEnders, although if there is something dodgy coming up I avoid watching it so they don't watch it either, for example I don't like the idea of the dead baby being swapped story, so I will be avoiding it for a bit once the babies are born!

Thanks for your responses. Iamreallyfabnow, i posted on the 'relationship' part as the Hollyoaks saga does wind me up and seems a bit of a battle between myself and partner. I totally agree with you all, watching a man tied to a chair, surrounded by a ring of fire, in a burning building is just one of the Hollyoaks episodes that I am apparently being over the top about!

I suspected that might be the case space2010. Good luck with your partner who by the sounds of it, doesn't get the way children see TV and the world, and that they aren't mini-adults but developing. Shame.
