I know it's sad and everything, but I can't help laughing at Esther's jaundice make up.

Lighthousekeeping · 05/02/2013 14:31

Oh I never knew she didn't push him. I must've blinked. Is dodger now on with the blonde MacQueen.

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 05/02/2013 13:44

Will might end up killing Dodger out of jealousy

I hope it comes out that Texas didn't push him.

MySweetPrince · 05/02/2013 13:41

Will turned a bit wierd after he had been to interview Silas for an essay he was writing. He was always the nice, nerdy character until then. Then Silas escaped from the psychiatric hospital and was last seen getting on a bus with a load of hen party girls. The Silas storyline then just dries up, maybe there is a link between Will's behavaviour and Silas's disappearance?

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 05/02/2013 08:57

light I hope the bullies get what they deserve. Don't fully understand why Esther got it all when it was Bart who was driving and he was the one who didn't want to help.

Hope Will leaves. He creeps me out. There's something very weird about him

Lighthousekeeping · 05/02/2013 00:55

Oh, how distressing has the bullying storyline been? I must admit to fastforwarding when I see that Dodgers family.

FaceLikeAPickledOnion · 03/02/2013 23:13

Hollyoaks is underrated and the best soap EVER imo. Give me a warning before spoilers please, I like storylines to be a surprise.
I have cried and laughed more times at hollyoaks than any other soap.
Duncan was ace, always used to make me smile.
Oh and I'm 32, but have got a bit of a thing for Jack but frankie does my head in, grrr.
I love Brendan, Myra, Jackie, Cheryl (I want to be her mate!)

Skillbo · 03/02/2013 22:37

Both Duncan & Ruby said they had the same.parents but perhaps they're adopted or fostered - they both said they were treated like shit by them which is why they both legged it to Hollyoaks, which.Ian of.course centre of the universe Why oh why don't more people leave... i mean, none if them even go to uni anywhere else because a qualification from the community college is definitely as good!!

Orenishii · 02/02/2013 17:47

hazel ahhhh right...but isn't Ruby mixed race, or at least very light skinned? Are they siblings? Am so confused. I shouldn't be as my own husband is mixed race, with two white half brothers!

Skillbo · 02/02/2013 17:28

I'm up for spoilers

OP posts:

HazeltheMcWitch · 02/02/2013 10:58

Oh, JP and the head teacher? That would be a ridiculously pretty couple. Agree with TCL that it's good that that they have all the gay couples, and that their sexuality is no longer the plot; it's just 2 people, getting together.

HazeltheMcWitch · 02/02/2013 10:56

Duncan was a tubby comedy character. He had a curly-haired friend (whose dad was sick with MS, and he was forced into a carer role), and they were kinda the new Max and OB for a bit.

Right, are we doing spoilers/future plotlines?

Orenishii · 02/02/2013 09:55

Bart was just awful - awful, awful, awful. I don't know how any of them could have kept up the illogical blaming of esther for the crash - she wasn't even driving so how did they come up with that one? I really hope Sinead loses her place at vet school (hahaha!) and Ruby gets her comeuppance somehow. I seem to remember in media studies, in the land of soaps the baddies always have to get their dues...it's like the law of soap writing because otherwise the soap risks alienating its audience. It almost always happens, in some form or another, so fingers crossed!

Agree about Jacqui being such a lovely character - she was the one that helped out the super annoying Becca after she went to prison for having an affair with her pupil.

I don't remember Duncan AT ALL. I have no recollection of Ruby appearing - just one day she was, with her gorgeous hair and lips and annoying voice.

CrazyRandomHappenstance · 02/02/2013 09:27

The baby is Mathew, John-Paul and Craigs son, i kind of hope Craig comes back, even if just to see the baby, because JP and Craig were an amazing couple, but i think JP's new love interest is the new head teacher.

HazeltheMcWitch · 02/02/2013 00:35

Hmm, TimothyClaypoleLover - methinks I may share 2 televisual loves with you...

KatoPotato · 02/02/2013 00:29

It's my remaining guilty pleasure. Marking place!

Skillbo · 02/02/2013 00:26

Am actually not holding my breath about the bullies because they don't always end things very well in Hollyoaks village. For example, i always wanted it to come out that Rhys (him again ) spiked his brothers drink.which caused Josh to drive drunk, cause a crash, become a bit of a lush and basically wreck his life.. with Rhys dead, that's never going to happen!!

OP posts:

Skillbo · 02/02/2013 00:22

Hazel - Sinead is pregnant with Rhys' baby???

How can people NOT love this programme?

OP posts:

TimothyClaypoleLover · 01/02/2013 23:56

I think its quite refreshing though that there are 8 gay characters, much higher ratio than the other soaps.

Oh hope Walker doesn't get his revenge, want to see Brendan and Ste ride off into the sunset.

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/02/2013 23:55

I bloody love Jackie. She has had the shittest life, and she's the nice one out of the bunch and it all goes wrong for her. And Rhys - she loved him and she had no idea that he wanted to run off with Cindy, AND had got that little scrubber pregnant*. I cried too.

Skillbo* - Jackie etc now know that Rhys is the father, but they agreed to keep it secret, for Bart's sake. But he's run off now too (not sure if forever, or just for plotline), and there has been no mention of it all since.

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 01/02/2013 23:50

Hazel I love Hollyoaks. I have no idea why because it is so ott and unrealistic.

I cried when Jackie had to hold Rhys as he died and she couldn't tell him he was dying. Though he was a dick it was sad.

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/02/2013 23:49

Or... I have just googled HO spoilers... shall I post one here?

Walker seems to have got his son involved and has got him to work for Brendan. Brendan and JP had a night together in Ireland.

Doug is the inky other gay so JP doesn't have much choice

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/02/2013 23:47

Sp - we share the same taste in quality telly, don't we.
The bitch deserved to die after ignoring poor Neil. I really hoped he'd been magically blown into a soft corn field, from where he would be rescued

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/02/2013 23:46

Ooh, so obvs John Paul will have to get it on with one of the above. Doug I guess.
