There is an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that is so yucky-poo sickly sweet that it’s divided fans for the last however-many-years it’s been since that episode in which Vampire Angel is visited by the Ghost of Vampire Victims past but it turns out it was just a ploy by the First Evil to [...]

There are some facts in life that we just have to learn to accept. Like the fact that no one knows exactly how the placebo effect works, or that TV shows rarely get renewed after they have been cancelled (just give up, campaigners of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!). Indeed, we beloved and much appreciated [...]

The hot story of the week may largely involve murderous shenanigans with Old Man Silas, but that doesn’t mean that life can’t go on for the regular residents of peaceful old Hollyoaks. Indeed, who could be any more regular than humble, angsty teenage nerd, Will Savage. He may be blood relative to a robot (I’m [...]

Seeing as Silas is currently hoovering up the sexually depraved harlots of the village, like NooNoo after a heavy day in the Tellytubby house, it seems like the right moment to redress the balance in favour of the sisterhood.  Because this doesn’t run one way, right Grandad?  It can’t ALL be our fault.  It can’t [...]

Last week we saw the SHOCKING revelation of Mercy’s sexy time affair with her hubby-to-be’s Pa, Carl! Riley, confused and betrayed as he was, ran off on a presumably murderous rampage. Old Man Silas, Hollyoak’s personal ladykiller, on the other hand, sticks around to cast an eeevil look at… someone. Us! There is indeed something [...]

You boys better watch out – I’ve got a notepad, I’ve got a pencil, and I’m not afraid to use them – Will delivers the least frightening threat in history Ah, university. The perfect place for a new start and a clean slate. Unless of course, you are Annalise, and you arrive with your sponging [...]

Those troublesome teens of Hollyoaks! Their lives are so hard! And yet they provide us with hours of mildly entertaining… entertainment, every weekday. Oh, Hollyoaks, how you spoil us. Old manipulative Maddie, still unsatisfied that Bart and Sinead are hung up on each other, has become the dictator of poor Sinead’s life and as a [...]

Confession.  This started life as a post about the dodgy doings of Mark “Dodger” Savage, the village’s resident sexbot.  But as we watched Dodger and limp hippychick Texas dance around each other’s commitment issues last week, we realised this story wasn’t about them at all.  It was about the guy in the background, the wallflower, [...]

You know what it’s like. You go away on holiday and when you come back all sorts of things have changed – newspapers have shut down, there’s another Beckham in the world and, oh yes, there’s only some new bits in the Hollyoaks opening sequence! Of course, the opening sequence went through a major metamorphosis [...]

The arrival of a new species can be tricky. Just ask red squirrels. Which is why introducing a new family into the delicate Hollyoaks ecosystem can often be a bit hit or miss. Some, like the Costellos, can take their time to worm their way into our affections. Others – we mean YOU the Sharpes [...]
