Eli time!

T4 omnibus…

Here’s a thought – maybe the opening credits could be changed to reflect the characters’ current situations? Newt could have Eli whispering manically into his ear and Fletch could be crumpled on the floor in a puddle of wee, needle hanging out of his arm?

Anyhoo, back to business – the main attraction of this week’s Hollyoaks has got to be mad bad Eli. At first just your average whinging student type (with an awesome white man ‘fro), he has graduated to a full-on nutcase complete with smoke bomb making skills, thievery and scary graffiti. Here at WLH we have always theorised that he was nothing but a Tyler Durden-style figment of little Newt’s imagination and now we have had it confirmed. The “Eli’s gonna get you” bit at the end when he faded away was rather cool but I do hope that wasn’t the last of him as every village needs a military obsessed psychopath, even if they don’t actually exist. Plus, after the smoke bombing of Evissa and the Loft we could love to see a Warren-Newt/Eli face off.

We do hope Newt’s fate is something sweeter than that of other Hollyoak’s nutcases (wouldn’t want him growing a beard with mad Jake for example), as he is a lovely eyelinered addition to the Osborne household – particularly when in conversation with Darren. We can’t expect rubbish social worker to notice his latent schizophrenia and the Osbornes are all going through their respective meltdowns – so our money is on Lauren, the first person to discover the Eli madness. Let the emo kid save the day!
