Hollyoaks Discussion Thread

Today's episode was good ,the whole Mcqueen family imploded all over again.All of them chucking blame at each other,with the blame going towards Myra and Nana Mcqueen.

With then Nana having a go at Mercedes for sleeping with Tony.Then Mercedes blamed her for everything and then threw her out.It was soo funny when Mercedes was dragging her across the living room Carmel said " dont break her hip" then she threw out the door and shouted " bitch" after her.

I feel sorry for Dom as well though and as I do Myra when Carmel blamed her for everything but I think that was just a heat of the moment,but fair enough Myra should'nt have been feeling sorry for Niall.I think Myra is the only one who understands what she put Niall through all the years.

Jacqui is going to regret not going to the funeral in the end and I am happy that she and Tony drew a line under their relationship once and for all.

I was looking forward to an emotional funeral when "everytime we touch" began playing but after a few seconds the music went off which dissapointed me.

I have to say that the Mcqueens problems are sooo complicated right now since everything that happened since Nialls reign of terror.

I know this isn't related to recent hollyoaks, but didn't know where else to post it. I've been getting real max, OB and Tom withdrawal symptoms so made a tribute vid.

Oh my God guys guess whos quit Hollyoaks!!

Emma Rigby who plays Hannah has quit Hollyoaks and is finished filming in March and is due onscreen until june.

I really didnt see this coming,but I dont really care because I hate the character so much!!

I have indeed also just read that.

I have to say, I'm not overly bothered....

Back when she first arrived, I adored the character and it was so sad that she was incredibly underused. Her involvement in the friendships with Craig, JP, Sarah and Nancy leading up to her anorexia battle were brilliant and a real turning point for both actress and character. The storylines she's been involved in have been great...... until now. Her character has gone so down hill of late it's unbelievable. The strong friendships were completely erased and the one chance they had to really build on the family relations lasted all of 5 minutes. The writers have pretty much screwed the character up completely and whilst I am slightly saddened that she's leaving, I'm also slightly relieved.

IMO, Hannah has been so incredibly annoying and selfish lately. The writers have suddenly changed the character completely from who she once was. It's been ever since she came out of hospital and she's just gradually gone downhill from there. Her getting with Elliott was really the last straw for me and I think that's why I'll be so relieved.

Emma, however, should be incredibly proud. She's a very talented actress that had a major, real, amazing storyline that she did a superb job on and will probably bemostly remembered for. I wish her the best of luck in the future.

VERY intruiged to see her exit storyline....

On another note, I'm actually slightly worried for the show....

Emma Rigby, Sarah Dunn and Roxanne McKee have all announced their departures within weeks of each other. All 3 incredibly talented actresses.

With those 3 leaving and Bryan Kirkwood stepping down at the end of the year...... where on earth will the show go next? I just hope nobody else quits!!!!!

Don't forget

Jamie Lomas is also leaving next year.It's going to be very interesting to see what happens and what sort of new characters they bring in.

I'm reallly worried about the future of the show!

^^

I knew Roxanne & Sarah were leaving (not too fussed about Mandy going), but I didn't know Emma & Jamie were also leaving. All the good ones are off. I guess the Warren & Louise exit storylines should be exciting to watch, but there's going to be nobody left. I agree Hannah's character has really gone downhill since the bullimia storyline ended. I hated her with Danny and I hate her with Elliot (and getting together with him after Sarah), but I agree she's an awesome actress. Good luck to them. The new characters better be good.

The departure count this year is shockingly sad. The list so far:

Matt Littler

Darren Jeffries

Guy Burnet (Kind of)

James Sutton

Leah Hackett

Summer Strallen

Jake Hendriks

Sam Derbyshire

and now we have

Sarah Dunn

Emma Rigby

Roxanne McKee

Jamie Lomas

also leaving. And the saddest part is that the newcomers of the show that really should be making a huge impact in light of all the major characters leaving have been somewhat of a let down (The Roy family are about as interesting as watching paint dry). The characters that have been the shows strongest this year have either been sidelined (Ste, although an appauling character is portrayed really well. Rhys who had one of the years earliest major storylines has taken one step forward and two back) or given such a change of character they've sad to watch (Hannah has gone from being a lovely girl with a serious major storyline to a somewhat whiny one with storylines that are pathetic. And Mandy who was once a popular, enjoyable character has turned herself around in the worse way possible).

I love the show and it's been amazing that they HAVE had a strong couple of years, but everything that's coming up sounds really bad. Don't get me wrong, I'll give it a chance, but wont get my hopes up. Roll on LNHO!!!!

Has Sam officially left? I thought he might one day come back!

[xGlowingAngelx]

I'm just going off the fact he's been put on the "Departed" section of the cast list on the official site. Not sure if he'll return one day. I hope so though, because I really don't think we got nearly enough closure.
