six degrees of mandy richardson

Posted on October 29, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

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!
