Meltdowns, blingy ratboys and a not-so-welcome return
A rare occasion when WLH is home in time to watch the ‘Oaks in the evening. Hooray!
Chewing the fat
Not sure about the happy-clappy teenagers in the new Wrigleys sponsor bits. We feel they are not an accurate reflection of Hollyoaks life. Where are the pregnancies? The imaginary friends? The crack whores?
What the…?!
Eh eh eh? Why is Warren sleeping on Mandy’s couch? What did we miss in the omnibus? Anyway, definitely spotted a bit of chemistry between the whisperer and Mandy - could our predictions be onto something?
Whatever the rumpus between the village’s power couple, Lady Macbeth seems to be going into meltdown – boozing in the morning, beautiful hair askew, bashing seven shades out a steak as she prepared a romantic meal for her man. Watch out Warren, there is a dangerous gleam in her eye!
Darren o’clock
After weeks of tears, the blingiest of the ratboys is having something of a return to form. It must be the smell of Jack’s life insurance money, but Darren definitely has more of a spring in his step, dishing out one liners (see quotes below) and dressing pimptastically. Frankie is still giving him gyp about what is, dare we say it, a poorly thought out plan to sort out their money worries, but Darren remains optimistic:
“We’ve done it, we can pay off the debts”. Simple as. What could possibly go wrong?!
Vile Niallness
Honestly, what has happened to the secret McQueen? Instead of waging war on his estranged family, he is pining after Steph, offering to fly kites with Tom and buying Max memorial park benches. Whatever next? Singing lullabies to orphaned kittens? We did feel a little bit sorry for him, because deep down he just wants to be loved (awww) but we do wish he would get on with doing what he does best!
Rubbish social worker returns
As if Newt’s life wasn’t bad enough, RSW popped by to offer more insightful advice and support.
“Schizophrenia is a really. Serious. Condition” she said, authoritatively. No shit sherlock.
Eli realised
The story of Eli was revealed – a fellow orphanage kid who killed himself on Newt’s birthday. So even when he actually existed he was still a little shit!
Quotes
“Where’s your better half? Dropping a horses head in someone’s bed?” Darren tries to engage Louise in some conversation.
