six degrees of mandy richardson
The shock return of Mandy and the rose tinted rememberings of 15 years of Hollyoaks got us thinking about the life and times of the harbinger and how she is an integral cog in the Hollyoaks machine.
Indeed, in addition to Tony, Darren and Jack she is one of the longest serving characters and, now that Cindy has gone of to shag the elderly, the longest serving female character.
With such a vast history then, it is no suprise that her web of relationships is a dense and tangled one, which is why we believe it is possible to link Mandy to any other Hollyoaks character (past or present) in no more than six steps.
The six degrees of Mandy Richardson game is born!
Mandy and Darren.
This game started when a dressing gowned Darren was making the moves on Mandy this week, and so we tried to work out whether they were related:
Darren’s sister Ruth went out with Mandy’s brother Lewis = 3 moves
linkage type: sort of family (though they did date when they were whipper snappers anyway)
Mandy and Nancy
Mandy shagged Warren who had a Stendan-style relationship with Justin, who shagged Nancy (and her sis obvs) – 3 moves
linkage type: shag (literal and repressed)
Mandy and Lee
Lee was bezzy mates with Zara, who was sister of Luke and Adam, both of whom were shagged by Mandy – 3 moves
linkage type: shag and friendship
Mandy and Kevin the alien/perv
Kevin lives with Darren in student halls, Darren + Mandy are sort of related – 2 moves
linkage type: residential and family
Mandy and Jem
Jem was shagging Ravi, who was bezzy mates with Warren, who shagged Mandy – 3 moves
linkage type: shaggage + friendship (or you could do Jem was engaged to Gilly, who is now married to Steph, who is/was sister-in-law to Mandy)
See – hours of fun! Please challenge us to think of the links between Mandy and other characters by posting your suggestions below, or suggest some linkages yourselves!
