It’s been a week of ups and downs for Hollyoaks’ most enthusiastic business duo. And along the emotional journey on the roller coaster we had tears, tantrums, sulking threats, classic Brendan and a very messy kitchen at Tony‘s. Somehow though it all worked out OK for our favourite crime-fighting pair also known as “Steven and [...]

News of Nancy’s recently-discovered pregnancy has been round the village quicker than Mercedes McQueen and although she may be all smiles now things haven’t always been roses and rainbows in Nancy‘s love life. Nancy Anne Osborne (née Hayton, previously Dean) hasn’t always been too successful in her choice of partners. Back in the old, old days when Nancy was [...]

The “will they, won’t they?” was a question everyone was asking at the start of the week. Although, not Darren because he was convinced it was all going to go to plan. And not Nancy because she didn’t know anything about it. And not Nancy‘s mum because she had engineered the entire situation to ensure [...]

Darren and Nancy, Dancy if you will, are quite the Hollyoaks’ dream couple – no cheating, no illegal activities, no enormous arguments and general drama favoured by the other love birds of the village. As much as my love for Darren knows no bounds, I am quite pleased for them. Because Darren is so wonderfully [...]

With all the “excitement” of the Bart-Sinead-Gaz-Maddie debacle, it’s easy to forget, as Hollyoaks did this week, that anyone else lives in the village and has problems of their own. But in amongst tales of teenage angst, jobs that were dished out as quickly as pints in the SU and a week’s worth of organising [...]

This is hard, right?  We know we said last week that we thought Lee should head for the States to live out his dream.  But it’s a whole different (baseball) game when it comes to saying … No.  We can’t say it.  Not yet.  Let’s rewind. When we left Lee last week, he was staying [...]

*WARNING:  Soppiness ahead.  Proceed at own risk* Some people just belong together, don’t they?  Like they’re just meant to be, and you can’t wait for them to get it together, and you feel a little squizzle of excitement just thinking about it.  Becca and Justin.  Warren and Louise.  Max and OB.  No, we’re getting confused.  [...]

Tom! Thomas! Tomothy! Tom-diddly-omptious! Whatever endearing name it is you have taken to calling dear little Tom Cunningham, I salute you, because it’s not easy to sit and watch possibly one of the most abused characters in soap history. Yes, Tom has had a difficult life, having had to deal with the death of his [...]

….. an article in the Chester Herald. Yes, Darren and Nancy (Narren? Dancy?) took the next step with their relationship this week as she praised him in the local rag in an attempt to make him believe she cares about something other than running about in high heels and pencil skirts with a serial killer. [...]

And so it came to pass that on Sunday 27th March 2011 WLH came within touching distance of an assortment of Hollyoaks menfolk- though we didn’t touch them, we kept our hands to ourselves. Honest. Now that the palpitations have died down and we have regained our sight, here is what we remember from that [...]
