There are things that you wait for for ages, and when they finally get here, they’re a bit disappointing.   I dunno, like that last bit of Harry Potter.  Or the World Cup final.  Or the Christmas special of Dr Who.  And then there are things you wait for, your appetite sharpened with every passing second, [...]

No, we’re not standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain, we sometimes wish we were, it would be fabulous.  No, is it just us, or is the Oaks going through one of its revolving door/one-in-one-out phases at the moment?  It’s like being on one of Dennis’s beloved roundabouts, and every [...]

And so Gilleh’s gone again. Deja vu there. “I can’t be here, I need to get away”, definitely heard that before. But it looks like this time might be for real as Gilly looked sorrowfully at Rhys remembering times gone by and left Cheryl crying on THE steps. It was a pretty standard week for Gilly. [...]

Everyone likes Brendan, right? It’s just one of those things. There’s something strangely alluring about a man with a handlebar moustache that big. He may have issues (the dismissal of his underlying gayness, beating up unsuspecting ratboys, accidentally assaulting his own sister, going back for more ratboy beating, grabbing Doug’s face, emotionally manipulating most people [...]

It is now. Well, sort of. It all came crashing down for Silas, like an urn dropping from the hands of our second-favourite Oirish girl, his hopes and dreams of ridding the world of likely Jeremy Kyle candidates fell apart. Gutted. Obviously, it must have been a nightmare for Lynsey being the village crazy who [...]

After what seems like months and months, in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, for a murder that wasn’t actually him (although one of the many unsolved murders in Hollyoaks did involve our favourite moustachioed Oirishman) people, including his devoted sister, finally remembered that Brendan exists. Of course, people couldn’t be blamed for being [...]

It’s a small place, Hollyoaks.  I know, I’ve been, and Brendan could spit his gum from the Chez Chez balcony into the fountain.  But hey, lives get lived in small places.  Bugger Downton Abbey; this week, drama was unfolding down at Hollyoaks’s own Slum Towers, Chester’s least appealing rental property.  The slum is home to [...]

It was freaking mayhem in Hollyoaks this week.  Rae breathed her last at the hands of evil Nietszche-quoting Silas.  Brendan was taken away in handcuffs (phwoar!  Sorry, just had to get that off my chest).  Cheryl broke down and forgot her make-up.  Ste wept in the arms of Amy.  Lynsey went bonkers.  Ethan stared, and [...]

We know Brendan, we know. But alas, the whole village was quick to jump to the conclusion that the lovable Irishman was a moiderer. Not that he can be too outraged since he did kill Danny Houston. Badly. At least if he was responsible for these killings it would be an improvement of his murdering [...]

Oh, Hollyoaks. You are never far from our thoughts. Even when we were lounging in beautiful Zanzibar (and no, we’ll never get tired of mentioning this) you were still on our mind. It occurred to us that whilst we’ve been a bit preoccupied with the hairy wonder that is Brendan Brady (and who wouldn’t be), [...]
