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 [...]

Those super cool sixth formers breezed into Hollyoaks in September with promises of fun, frolicking and not actually going to school (as well as the mystery of where the hell do these people even live?). I can’t say that a lot has really happened with those cool kids, and last week’s Bore & Boringer storyline [...]

Riley is the answer to that question, which came as no surprise to any of us since Carl had already planned to move to America (interesting change of cull-location) and although he could have an affair with his son’s fiancée, keep it quiet and allow him to marry her, force his other son into keeping [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Carl Costello and Silas Blisset. Two characters, both alike in dignity, in fair Hollyoaks where we lay our scene. No I’m not suggesting there’s some sort of homoerotic connection between the two gentlemen, that would be just one step too far! But they are alike, though probably not in dignity? Unless they’re both alike in [...]

I don’t know about YOU guys, but I will always have a special place in my heart for Mitzeee that is labelled “Mitzeee’s special place in Miriam’s heart” or something to that effect. Not only is she smart AND funny AND pretty, but she totally wears the pants in the whole Mitzeee/Warren relationship. And I [...]

OH EM EFFING GEE. The Mercy & Riley wedding promo is all kinds of amazing: After literally dozens of viewings it is still difficult to decide which is the best bit – such a feast it is for the eyes: Carmel’s bountiful breasts. The perfect union of song choice and oops-I-slept-with-my-fiance’s-dad-and-he-might-be-the-father-of-my-unborn-child storyline. Flinty eyed Carl [...]
