In keeping with the wonderful festive cheer always portrayed by TV soaps, the end of the Christmas period saw Hollyoaks’ best cat-fight, a bitch-fest to rival all others. It all kicked off when Carmel finally asked why she hadn’t been paid in about a billion years which seems pretty obvious considering there’s never anyone in [...]

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. [...]

It’s been a funny old ride, the Upstairs-Downstairs symbiosis between the McQueens and the Costellos.  This merger of the Premiership with the  Johnstone’s Paint Trophy started near enough a year ago, when Mercedes popped into The Dog for a snifter to help her get over recently-deceased Mal, and ended up accidentally engaged to 19 year [...]

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 [...]

YES!!! No, not Brendan.  Made you look, though.  But in honour of The Big BB, let’s raise a dead-eyed double fist pump to the return of … Gilly.  Yay.  Hmm.  Aw heck, we KNEW the Racqui bliss was too good to last. We’d better warn you, this won’t be objective.  We’re not the BBC.  If [...]

Ahh Doug, dear old Doug, ever the favourite American student turned drug dealer turned good-for-nothing. Having previously been seen being slapped around by Brendan, Doug hasn’t really been up to much of late. In fact, I’m not entirely sure what he’s even living off now or how he can even afford to pay rent. Nevertheless, [...]

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 [...]

Dear WLH, Hi, how are you? It’s been tough without you and your daily Hollyoaks witticisms; it’s hard for us but we know it must be hard for you too. So here’s a little bit about what’s been happening while you’ve been away: Mercy: Still lying (very) badly about the baby being Riley’s. Intuition tells [...]

So as a companion piece to our recent boyz post, we thought we’d take a look at what the female of the Hollyoaks species has been up to: Amy Amy returned from her Inferno Week-related exile. Did she choose to spend time with her neglected offspring? No! Of course she didn’t! Inexplicably given a job [...]

Thanks to flu, Christmas and too much time spent watching Downton Abbey, WLH is now so far behind that to do a post for each of the weeks we’ve missed would be an almost impossible feat. So instead, here are our high (or more often low) points of December. If you notice that Brendan news [...]
