stabby new year fun (minus cake)
Well, where do we start with the first Hollyoaks omnibus of the tenties?
blonde v blonde
We expected the Zoe/Lydia she knows that she knows that she knows plot to rumble on for ages, but instead we were treated to a new year’s eve showdown. This was of course after a toe curling scene where Zoe used her womanly wiles to try and honey trap Lydia. Yep. That’s right. There is officially now no situation when Zoe will not use her womanly wiles.
Anyhoo, with Zoe dressed a la Madonna/Material Girl and Lydia, well, being her usual spooky self, things got a little bit stabby down at Sarah’s grave, Zoe getting a punctured stomach and bowel for her troubles. Ouch!
And now, sadly, Lydia is all banged up (though somehow had time to doll herself up a la Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner) – boo hoo. Watching her all caged and mental is fun though, we are hoping she denies her suicidal urges and becomes a Hannibal Lecter-style uber villain, causing all sorts of mayhem from behind bars. In the mean time – her mum and interestingly named sister Persephone are nearby. Will we get to meet them? We hope so!
more familiar grimness
The Hannah-rexia storyline (thanks to @Sugafairey for that one!) continued down the usual “I don’t need to be in hospital” “Yes you do”, “I’m not anorexic” “Yes you are” conversations for what felt like hours, though at least this time our beloved Darren was involved and there was narky anorexia doctor Diane to shout at everyone. Hannah, just have some cake. Go on. Just a little bit.
2010 resolutions
Cheryl: treat body like temple, no carbs after 9pm, win X Factor
Lydia: be dead by 2011
in other news
more steph-gilly-fernando-cheryl yawnsomeness (ignore what we said about Newt and Rae – THIS is the world’s least interesting love story. BORED NOW); The Dog runs out of booze on NYE so gives away free biergrad; Amy takes back her kids (about bloody time); Cheryl is attacked by some hair straighteners; eat sushi off Michael Flatley, get it on with Simon Cowell – Cheryl’s to do list before she settles down; we learn Myra was preggo with her third kid when she was 18; Cath, Theresa’s skank jailbird mum is in town to ponce a grand of her unsuspecting daughter’s trust fund – we know we shouldn’t, but we kinda like her. She’s fun.

Ive Noticed the Hollyoaks writters have some particular faveourite trends…….
-People going psychotic in Churches (Lydia , Niall)
-Killing people on their Wedding Day (Max, Calvin, Louise)
-REALLY UNInTERESTING LOVE TRIANGLES / SQUIANGLES (Steph-Fernando-Gilly-Cheryl / Newt-Theresa-Lauren-Rae-Anita )
-REALLY psychotic women (Clare, Lydia, Laura)
-Zoe sleeping with just about everybody she comes into contact with
-Randomly throwing together two men and trying to make them the next MAX & OB (Duncan & Ricky / Ste & Justin / Gilly & Rhys / Dave & Josh / Lee & Bombhead)

I’ve been jonesing for steph and gilly to get together for ages, but I understand now why it’s gotten so boring to watch them–everyone knows it’s gotta happen, the question is when?? This week picks up that story a little more though–I’m wondering if Gilly’s feelings toward Cheryl are getting to be more serious or not (which I still don’t get), but it looks like Gilly giving up on Steph is the best thing he could do to move it along…(you’ll see or you probably saw already!).
“Hannah-rexia” LOL–it looks like that will be ending for good this week as well : (
Final question from me: do people in the UK always dress up on new year’s? It looked like it was halloween in that episode!
