wow! Ellie came downstairs! and everyone was mean to her. poor Ellie.
How often does the Hollyoaks News (or whatever it was) come out?? And how little news is there in Chester to report?

Lisa is attaining Lynn Scully levels of loathesomeness. Telling Lee that loosing Abby wasn't bad compared to her sordid affair with Jake was low. Kicking off on Elly because she feels bad about being a second choice clap ridden spunk bucket wasn't particularly nice either.
She's just a knob.
Zara for president!

Lisa is moving in the right direction for Lynn Scully levels of loathesomeness, but is no where near there yet. Firstly, Lisa's doens't have Lynn's annoying mannerisms. Lynn is still annoying when she isn't being loathesome.

No, but her brother was raped, her sister was raped, her other brother was crippled... She is overdue something horrible happening to her. Going by the law of averages, then, I see a crippling in Zara's future.

Tonight's Hollyoaks had to be the worst episode of any soap ever. I was gripped by the Burton-Taylor's comedy bathroom rota storyline.
I am glad other people can see that Lisa is a bint.

Chris Moyles, (I fell on my radio and it happened to switch on and tune itself in to his show. I wasn't listening to it through choice.....*whistles*) made a very good point about Lisa from hollyoaks basically having the same voice as Johnny Vegas is you just speak like her and slow the way you say things right down.
I suppose its a bit like saying I look like Kylie if I'm standing miles apart from you, while we're both stood in a dark room and we both unknowingly have our back to each other.
Either way I think its true....the lisa thing, not the kylie bit.
I'm more Show-Boat than Show-Girl.

I don't want to hate Lisa because, despite her rather mannish qualities, she's at least fairly pretty (Candy is obviously the prettiest, but oh dear God where has Candy gone? I miss her so much.)
That said, Lisa is awful at the moment, just like the rest of the show. Characters are so inconsistent - Max hated students the other week, and yet today he was sticking up for Joe when Tony started ranting about them. It's almost as good as Zara's 'Becca is my friend! I can't betray her like this! Despite the fact that we've never spoken to each other before this whole sorry Jake/Lisa fiasco!'
And the bathroom 'storyline'. Are we expected to believe that, despite the fact the Taylor-Burtons have been living in that house together for an ancient period of time, this has only become a problem now? Justin needs to get the hell out of that family. He's the only watchable one left.
When Ellie is the most sympathetic character on Hollyoaks, you know there's something wrong.

When Ellie is the most sympathetic character on Hollyoaks, you know there's something wrong. I thought I'd just missed them being friends. Since despite watching Hollyoaks for months and months now, new characters seem to keep popping up and relationships appearing so I assume I've missed lots of stuff. There habit of having characters disappear for months on end doesn't help matters.

Becca used to go out with Adam, Zara's brother didn't she? Probably.

But my housemate, who is Hollyoaks obsessed, assured me that Zara and Becca never had a friendship prior to that storyline. Or if they did, it was never as close as the writers decided to make it for 'dramatic' purposes.

So is that the end of Ellie? The lingering look around the house makes me think so. I think there is gonna be a mass exodus of the la familia Hunter. I can see Les and Sally staying in Norwich, leaving us with just Lee and rubbish Lisa.

What the fuck just happened?! Ben isn't dead, is he? They can't kill off Ben, he's one of the likeable chavs!
I fucking hate that little demon spawn child.

When Ben fell down those stairs I immediatly thought of when Cindy threw herself down those same stairs in an attempt to miscarrage her secret pregency.
I have been watching Hollyoaks for too long and it really isn't any way near as good as it could be.

I get so cross because Hollyoaks really should be much better than it is!
I have been watching it on and off since the beginning and sometimes it could be so good eg 'evil' Rob, the comedy drug dealer, turning Lucy into a junkie overnight, Baz being a secret bisexual, Laura the annoying bint stalker etc. Unfortunately of late they seem to have forgotten how to write a storyline and we have been subjected to the interminable bathroom rota story, the inexcusably dragged out Hunter saga and so on.
And don't even start me on Tony and Mandy - to go from the brave domestic abuse storyline last year to them getting married just made no sense whatsoever.
Another thing that really bugs me is that they continually get rid of the likeable characters like Bella (I hear Cameron and Becca are on the way out too) while keeping all the annoying bints and twunts like Lisa 'Jonny Vegas' Hunter, Ben, Tony and Russell.
A teen soap featuring a cast of beautiful people should in theory be great, perhaps they need to go more 'Night and Day' as some of the directors seem to want to, and make it more OTT and surreal. I would start by axing the Hunters, Ben, Ali, Tony, Zara, OB, Russell, Nicole (oh hang on, that's half the cast!) and getting in some likeable, attractive characters who the viewer actually cares about, and draft in a new team of scriptwriters to turn it around.
Grrrr!

I was spitting feathers when I read they were going to get married. There was an interview with the executive producer in Inside Soap and she made some comment about how they're clearly destined to be together. I was like, "she was beating the crap out of him barely six months ago! What the hell kind of message are you trying to get across here?"

I've gone right off Hollyoaks! It isn't going anywhere. Just when I thought Les and bloody Sally had buggered off to Norwich, they come back, and we were treated to a hunter family row again. One thing good about the 'Oaks though is how they give so much dialogue to Tom. In soapland kids only tend to learn to speak when they are 10.

For one tantalising moment i thought we were finally getting shot of ben, but oh no! how dare the producers tease us with ben dying or at least being severley wounded..
I was most upset when he made a full recovery.
Les Hunter + Back = Why?

God. I actually manage to miss this shit for one episode, and there's some big fire? What the hell happened?
I assume it has something to do with that little evil kid.
That was ace. I loved Evil Rob. It was like fun pantomime Hollyoaks. Remember they were all on that bus, and Rob set fire to it (I think it was for New Year's Eve a while back)? Oh, and then there was that odd abandoned leisure centre! Where he tried to drown Tony and Lucy and Ruth and stuff! Wahey!
Awww. Those were the days.

I just love it! Until last November, I'd never watche dit before, and I know it's kinda crap, but I just love it! I also think it's quite good that they had a "fireworks burn down family home" story line at Easter, as opposed to Firework day. And Tom is the cutest thing since Pikachu.
