The Hollyoaks thread!

Maddie is clearly jealous of Ruby, wouldn't surprise me if she had another go at doing something bad to discredit the girl.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Yes she is a terrible character, but I did like that moment

[bbfan1991]

Diane sighting:amazed:, they need to integrate her in the village more and get her mixing with the older characters instead of just popping up at the School or in Sinead's storylines.

[bbfan1991]

The Producer is lovely to me on Twitter, although I am surprised that Maddie is one her favourite character. TOTB are trying so hard to get us to like her, but it is not working!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I demand the wired looking geek gets more screen time

She also likes Brendan! Gets brownie points for that! :amazed:

That Stug scene was awkward!

Our Dylan is in Hollyoaks:p.

[bbfan1991]

Ste and Doug are trending on Twitter.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

why the storyline is pathetic? It is so cringeworthy

[InOne]

Sadly Stug are gaining a massive fanbase. Why do only gay couples get massive fanbases and not straight ones? Weird :joker:

Hollyoaks star Ashley Slanina-Davies has said that she was thrilled with Sonny Flood's brief return to the soap.

Flood's character Josh Ashworth is back on screen for two episodes next week after nearly two years away from the show.

Viewers will see Slanina-Davies's alter ego Amy Barnes receive comfort and advice from Josh after her relationship with Ally Grogan hits the rocks.

"It's a huge surprise for Amy to see Josh again, but she's really excited about it," Slanina-Davies told All About Soap. "They've not seen each other for a long while, so they've got a lot of catching up to do."

She continued: "As far as I'm aware, it's just a small guest appearance, but I'd love to see Sonny come back for good. It was so good getting to work with him again - it felt like no time had passed."

The actress also revealed that life has changed for the better for Josh since his departure from the village.

She said: "He's got engaged to this really amazing girl. Josh has a picture of his fiancée and she's the most beautiful woman with a perfect figure. Josh has joined his dream music course and he's got his own flat, which makes Amy feel a bit rubbish about her own life in comparison."

Hollyoaks newcomer Neil Newbon makes his debut on the soap this week - but admitted he's unlikely to be tuning in.

The actor plays Brendan Brady's mysterious rival Walker, who unexpectedly arrives in the village tonight (Friday) to stir things up.

But Neil, 35, confessed: "I tend not to watch too much of my own stuff because I get a bit freaked out watching myself on screen. As an actor my job is on set - watching myself back I always find very difficult because I've already had that experience and I've lived it.

"The show is for the audience - I don't do this for me, I do it for the audience. I find it better to hear people's reactions. I do a lot of theatre and on stage you never get to see your own performance back and I kind of like that."

Neil, whose shady character will also cause trouble for Joel, played by Andrew Still, said he's been loving his time on the soap.

"It's a massive ensemble cast, but it's very much like a family and you get very quickly assimilated into it in a lovely, positive way," he added.

"To be welcomed in the way I have and accepted so quickly has been a lovely and overwhelming experience. I'm having a blast."

And the star remained tight-lipped on how long he'll be sticking around on Hollyoaks.

"I'm going to stay as long as the character needs me to stay. I'm not going away anytime soon," he teased.

[bbfan1991]

Disappointing arrival for Walker, although I think he will prove to be a very interesting character with this Brendan rivalry;).

[bbfan1991]

Cheryl and Cindy would work as friends IMO because of their similar personalities. Lynsey would be better off friends with Mercedes, although I like the Lynsey/Cheryl friendship a lot because of their history...

I felt sorry for Esther when Maddie was being vile and when Ruby skanked her to go off with the other teens because they didn't like Esther telling the truth about Tilly/Jen.

The character of Maddie deserves to have no friends LOL:D.

Hollyoaks teenager Joel Dexter is left fighting for his life this week as his ongoing desire to impress Brendan Brady puts him in grave danger.

Joel becomes jealous in the next few days as new bad boy Walker moves in with Brendan following his surprise arrival in the village. Determined to remain part of his mentor's criminal activities, Joel carries out another deal for Brendan - but soon finds himself badly out of his depth as he is stabbed.

Digital Spy recently chatted to Andrew Still, who plays Joel, to hear about the latest dramatic storyline for his character.

How does Joel react to Walker's arrival in the village?
"There's an immediate clash there. With Walker getting close to Brendan, there's some jealousy from Joel. He feels that he's had to earn his place at the table in the past six months, but suddenly Walker is involved in a deal too. Joel and Walker definitely don't get on.

"But in real life, Neil Newbon who plays Walker is lovely - he's a really nice guy and I think he's going to be a great addition to the cast. When people see some of the stuff that he's done, they're going to be very impressed."

How does Joel's stabbing come about?
"It's very much involved with Walker's entrance into the show. Walker comes in with a deal for Brendan, and Brendan decides to go forward with it. Joel worms his way into this and he's sent to take some money in return for some sort of shady package.

"Walker is supposed to be there too, but he pulls out at the last minute. Joel goes in and unfortunately things don't turn out quite the way he hoped. That's when he gets stabbed."

Doesn't Joel have any reservations about carrying out the deal by himself?
"I think the thing with Joel is that he's a wee boy trying to play the hard man. In his mind, he can stand up against the big dogs, but of course he can't. As Joel has been dealing with Brendan for the past six months, he feels like he's proved himself - but he's out of his depth."

Are the stabbing scenes quite dramatic, or are there limitations due to the 6.30pm timeslot?
"I haven't seen the final edit so it might have changed quite a bit with compliance, but when we filmed it, we really went for it. I've seen some of the raw footage and I hope some of that stuff comes through in the edit, because from what I saw it looked good.

"The scenes are really big and it was very challenging to film - I really wanted to do the story justice. Hopefully that will come across on screen, but as I haven't seen it yet, I'm waiting in trepidation like everyone else!"

If Joel survived, do you think he'd change his ways or carry on down the same path?
"I think we'll just have to wait and see! I think something like this would definitely make you look at the world differently, but you'll have to tune in to see exactly what happens."

Why has Joel been so keen to prove himself to Brendan this year?
"Because Joel's never really had a dad in his life, he's constantly looking for that father figure and role model. It just so happens that Brendan has been the person to take Joel under his wing, and so he's going down a dodgy path.

"The fact that Joel hasn't had a dad means that he craves a father figure and older male guidance. I think you can tell he's never really had an adult male in his life - he's a wee boy, and he has a misguided view of how men should react to things and how the dodgy business world works."

Could Joel start to be impressed by Walker in the same way he is with Brendan?
"I don't know, but I think Joel is very insecure and insular - he doesn't like to let many people in. I think Walker would have to do something great for Joel to start viewing him in a different light!"

When we first met Joel, he was a bit of a bad lad with a conscience. Do you think he's losing that conscience now?
"The conscience is definitely still there, but I think all the time that he's spent with Brendan has been hiding that a little bit. I think if Joel was ever in circumstances where he wasn't with Brendan, you'd start to see him becoming his own man - and that conscience would really come out more."

You've said in other interviews that you're nothing like Joel, but are there any ways you can relate to him?
"I can in terms of his romantic side with Theresa. When Joel opens up and lets Theresa in, that's probably more like me."

Could there ever be a happy ending for Joel and Theresa?
"I would like to say yes, but I have to say probably not! I think there's too much drama in both of their lives - which is the case for most people in the Hollyoaks village. But that's what makes it interesting - the drama."

As Hollyoaks is your first big TV role, how has it changed things for you over the past few months?
"It's astronomical the way my life's changed - it's pretty crazy just to even think about it. I'm living in a totally different city, I'm becoming my own person, and I've got my driving test coming up. I'm also finding how much things cost - flats and living expenses!

"On top of that, Hollyoaks is a fantastic place to work - I couldn't ask for anywhere better."

Which stories or moments have you enjoyed the most so far?
"The big fight scene with Joel and Callum was fantastic. Myself and Laurie [Duncan] are mates, and the best thing about doing a fight scene with someone you're friends with is that it's not awkward. I've done fight scenes with extras and it can be a bit weird when you've just met somebody and then you have to pretend to punch them in the face! With Laurie, I think I actually did punch him in the face accidentally during one take, but he said it was fine.

"There's a couple of other bits and bobs that I'm really proud of. Just for me personally, I remember being out filming the Christmas stuff in the freezing cold, and that was a big moment. There's actually been a lot of big moments on the show for me and I've been really fortunate."

I hope Joel dies, he's a wooden actor and his character is just URGH.

no, I might give that a try, I love my soap mags. I read Inside Soap every week, and the other two occasionally, they all cover pretty much the same stories. :)

Yep I'd be very tempted to kill off Bart and several other characters who are rubbish, Sinead is wasted with Bart, could do much better with her, Stephanie Davis is a good actress.

Channel 4 boss Jay Hunt has insisted that Hollyoaks is not facing the axe.

Chief creative officer Hunt, previously the controller of BBC One, acknowledged that the teen soap is experiencing a lull in popularity at present.

Speaking at a Channel 4 corporate event, she said: "Having run one and had similar issues with EastEnders, it is always true with soaps you have ups and downs. I would agree with you at the moment, Hollyoaks isn't on its best form."

Referring to last November's ratings-winning Silas serial killer plot, Hunt added: "At the end of last year, it was on stonking form and we had a great start to 2012. But continuing dramas have highs and lows, one slightly dud storyline can dip the viewing figures. That's how it goes and I'm pretty relaxed with that.

"I'm constantly in touch with Lime and I think Hollyoaks is a really important part of Channel 4. It is an important part of our schedule. It is just part of the ebb and flow of a continuing drama."

Hollyoaks' future has been much speculated since 2010, when Paul Marquess gave the show a major revamp.

The 44-year-old joined Channel 4 in 2010 after two years at the BBC.

Ex-Hollyoaks star Roxanne McKee has revealed that she turned down an offer to return to the soap.

McKee's character Louise Summers was seemingly killed off by ex-fiancé Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) in 2008.

However, she told Inside Soap: "I did get a call to return, but I had other commitments at the time, so I wasn't able to go back."

The 31-year-old, who has starred in BBC Three's Lip Service and HBO's acclaimed Game of Thrones since leaving the teen show, admitted that she is not ruling out a reappearance.

McKee added: "It would be fun to revisit Louise - she's a sneaky character, so she could still be around.

"We never actually saw her body, and I filmed a scene before I left with Louise still alive, so it could be used at any time."

The actress originally told Digital Spy of her plan to rejoin the serial three months after her character had 'died'.

[bbfan1991]

Hollyoaks star Joe Tracini has revealed that his character's unrequited love storyline will come to a head later this year.

The actor's alter ego Dennis Savage has been harbouring feelings for flatmate Leanne Holiday (Jessica Forrest) for some time, but has never yet succeeded in winning her over.

However, Tracini told Inside Soap that Leanne will eventually realise just how much Dennis cares for her.

He commented: "Dennis and I have a lot in common - he puts his all into any relationship and doesn't take it lightly. He wants to make Leanne happy and will do anything to achieve that.

"She just thinks he's having a laugh, but in the coming months, Leanne realises that he isn't mucking about - and it's up to her what happens between them."

Tracini also discussed the on-screen dynamic of the Savage clan, who are expected to have bigger storylines over the summer.

He said: "I absolutely love being a part of the Savage family. What's nice about it is that we're all on the same wavelength and have a proper laugh.

"We genuinely spend time together outside of work, too. All of us just enjoy each other's company and hopefully that's reflected on screen too."

Hollyoaks's first look screening was boosted by Joel Dexter's stabbing storyline on Wednesday evening (May 16), overnight figures show.

Hollyoaks pulled in 541k (2.9%) on E4 at 7pm and a strong 234k (1.1%) an hour later on +1 as fans tuned in to see the teenager's fate after he was attacked.

Earlier, the main airing on Channel 4 was watched by 908k (5.2%) at 6.30pm and 186k (1.0%) on timeshift.

[bbfan1991]

Hollyoaks bosses have officially announced the return of the soap's late night spinoff show Hollyoaks Later.

Channel 4 has commissioned a fifth series of the post-watershed drama, which will air on E4 in the autumn.

As with previous years, Hollyoaks Later will air as five hour-long episodes, transmitting on consecutive nights across one week in a 10pm timeslot.

Fan favourite Brendan Brady, played by Emmett Scanlan, will be among the characters taking centre stage this year.

Jane Steventon has joined Lime Pictures to work as the producer of Hollyoaks Later, while the series will be executive produced by the main show's bosses Emma Smithwick and Tony Wood.

Smithwick commented: "I am so excited for Hollyoaks Later this year. We have been planning the stories for a while, and so the late nights will give the characters a whole new playing field in terms of how we tell their tales.

"Expect a lot of humour and heartbreak for some of the sixth form boys, a good dose of Brady related darkness and a wild excursion for Mitzeee."

Marianne Buckland, commissioning editor for Channel 4, added: "This series of Hollyoaks Later represents the next turn of the wheel for the brand and promises a glossier, more grown-up feel.

"By their very nature, the lateness of Laters allows us to be that little bit more risky and with Brendan Brady at the helm - a character so suited to a post-watershed stint - this year is more dark and dangerous than ever."

The recommission follows the success of last year's series, which featured the McQueens' trip to Ibiza, Riley Costello's stag celebrations and Rae Wilson's death at the hands of serial killer Silas Blissett.

Hollyoaks Later is currently in pre-production and filming will begin in the summer.

[bbfan1991]

Glad that the return of Hollyoaks Later has finally been announced and can't wait to see what storylines they have planned:):D.

Yep wired how he said he had no money for a motel but he had a bag full of money. Maybe he robbed a bank?

What did he do for Brendan in prison? Protect him after warren told people to hurt him?

Yes, i think he saved his life in prison. Walker has a strange fascination with Brendan! I don't like it! :bawling:

[bbfan1991]

Emmett Scanlan is going to be in The Fall with Bronagh Waugh:amazed:.

I've got a feeling that Brendan will leave next year and that Walker will kill him:(.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Nope might wait untill sunday morning and watch all of them.

[bbfan1991]

I like how protective Brendan is over Joel for some reason, despite it being his fault about the stabbing.

Walker is OK, although the characterisation could be better.

Dennis is quite funny and he made Dodger see sense!

[Jords]

Hollyoaks Later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[bbfan1991]

Hollyoaks Later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

The late night episodes are normally good and they can do stuff past the watershed that they cannot do at 6:30 PM:D.

Hollyoaks star Ashley Margolis has announced that he is leaving the soap.

The actor, who has been portraying Ricky Campbell since summer 2009, confirmed the news on his Twitter page this afternoon (May 18).

Margolis told his online followers: "So I can finally say.. My final eps have been written. I will be leaving the show next month. It's been a fab 3 years but time to move on!

"Thanks to all of you lot for your kind messages about my curly twin.. Keep watching anyway!!"

He added: "It was a tough decision to leave but I want to do other things!! I've had the best 3 years of annoying my castmates! They will miss me.. :-)"

Ricky's first major storyline on Hollyoaks saw him acting as a carer for his father Martin, who suffers from MS. Fans will also remember his double act with best friend Duncan Button, who was played by Dean Aspen.

The sixth-former's final scenes are expected to air in a few months' time.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Wait he was all ready leaving last year but stayed on because he was suppose to have a major storyline, what happened there?

Personally I did not mind him, I preferred him with Anita though

[bbfan1991]

It is a shame I liked Ricky.

The Producer tweeted me a few weeks ago saying there were storylines for Esther and Ricky, who I consider to be the most bareable teens coming up...

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Ricky dont gel with these kids though, but Esther is okay. Heard a rumour she is leaving too so maybe they run off together

[bbfan1991]

Esther is not leaving LOL. I personally tweeted Jazmine Franks and she replied back to me:amazed:.

[bbfan1991]

Brendan rightfully is feeling guilty.

[Vanessa]

Brendan rightfully is feeling guilty.

How was he supposed to know the contacts were psychos? Walker only told him after Joel went to the meeting. What a sneaky guy! :nono:

[bbfan1991]

Ooh Cheryl threatening Walker:eek:.

[Vanessa]

Ooh Cheryl threatening Walker:eek:.

Cheryl telling Brendan he needs to change. Then acting like a psycho herself! :bored:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Oh is she not leaving, my mistake.

Ended up watch e4 first loook ever though I watch none of last week :p

Few Questions:

Bart is a terrible character, and why is that lesbian teacher living with Diane, and did Finn die or something?

Why is Callums mum a drinker? Is it true the guy Carmel wants to shag marthas husband?

When is Sinead stop going to be a slut?

[bbfan1991]

I came across this information in a blog from someone who had visited the Hollyoaks set:

Yesterday I was invited on a little trip to the Hollyoaks studio to have a look around, and have the chance to be an extra in their Maverick Sabre episode. I had such an amazing time, I can’t even begin to express it.

While I was there I watched a promo of things that will be coming up in the next few weeks, and afterwards had a little chat with Emma Smithwick about it.

I think bits and pieces of what I said are already around on the internet, but I thought I’d just make a post to get it in one place. If you don’t want any Hollyoaks spoilers I suggest you stop reading.



Okay, first things first - the promo:
A clip of Doug and Leanne, where Doug blurts out that he thinks he is gay.
Later on, a scene where Leanne is talking to Doug in the flat about his sexual confusion, not realising that Riley is behind Doug in the hallway. Riley pops out looking very unimpressed.
The villagers begin to find out about Doug. Dennis, Texas and Riley are in Price Slice (other characters may have been there too, I’m not sure), Dennis looks up and exclaims “Doug’s gay?!”. Cue moody glares from Riley.
Doug and Ste arguing in Carter and Hay. Ste shouts at Doug that he knows how hard it is (coming out), then it cut to them kissing and Brendan watching them through the window looking very sad.

After that the promo became hard to follow, as people were chatting and walking infront of me a lot *grumble*, but I think I saw:
Mercedes and the return of the pimp!doctor.
Someone punching someone else to the floor. Someone got in my way just as it happened, so I’m not sure on this but I think it was Will punching Dodger.

Okay, so then I managed to get hold of Emma Smithwick and here are the things she told me:
I asked if Doug would turn out to be bisexual and she said no. Doug is 100% gay. Definitely.
About Doug and Riley’s falling out, she said it was nothing to do with homophobia on Riley’s part, but that Riley has had a very bad year and will be having an especially rough week around the time of Doug’s coming out. She said that for Riley it’s about people in his life seeming like one thing and then being another, for example his sister becoming his brother and his grandfather turning out to be a murderer.
She told me that when Brendan catches Ste and Doug kissing he will not flip out. He will be hurt, but he will handle it in a ‘very Brendan-y way’ and will ‘play the long game’.
About Brendan’s feelings towards Ste, she said that he definitely wants Ste back with him, and not being able to have Ste but also having to see him happy with someone else will be awful for Bren.
She loves to see Ste happy, and there will be stories for him that do not revolve around his love life.
She also confirmed that Joel and Theresa will get together.
Walker will be returning soon, and will cause a whole load of trouble.

She also told me the following things about Hollyoaks Later:
It will be very, very dark. She talked about having quite a visceral ‘woah’ reaction when reading some of the scripts.
She confirmed that we will meet members of the Brady family, but couldn’t say who specifically.
It will explore Brendan and Cheryl’s background, in-depth, and shed a lot of light on why Brendan is the way he is.
Joel will also be in Hollyoaks Later.
Something major will happen to Brendan, Cheryl and Joel that there will be no coming back from.
Oh, and that Bart, Jono and Neil will also have quite a dark storyline (or something, I might not have listened so well to that part).

I'm loving Cheryl lately. She looks so much better after her image change, and has toughened up just enough, wouldn't want her to be a Clare Devine bitch type, but she was too soft before. Hope she is prominent in Hollyoaks later, sounds like she will be.

HOLLYOAKS: MERCEDES MCQUEEN LOSES THE PLOT

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/gameon/view/252142/Hollyoaks-Mercedes-McQueen-loses-the-plot/

:sleep: Hasent she already lost the plot 5 times already, then claim she will turn her life around only to lose it weeks later

[bbfan1991]

Mercedes McQueen's troubles get worse on Hollyoaks in a fortnight's time when she discovers that Mitzeee Minniver isn't her only love rival.

The new mum has tried to make life hell for Mitzeee in recent weeks, secretly stalking the glamour girl and scheming to keep her out of Riley Costello's affections.

However, Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) receives a shock in early June as she realises that her friend Lynsey Nolan (Karen Hassan) has been the bigger threat all along.

Lynsey and Riley have been keeping their relationship under wraps, but they finally go public during a Jubilee party at the McQueens' house in an upcoming episode.

After striking up a bond of friendship with Lynsey in recent months, exactly how Mercedes will react to the surprising romance remains to be seen…

The latest setback for Mercedes will come just a few days after the devastating blow that Silas Blissett won't stand trial.

Show bosses had previously teased that Mercedes's behaviour would spiral out of control again after learning of the authorities' decision. More details of this have now been revealed with the news that she'll be heading back into the arms of sleazy Doctor Browning again...

The villagers hear the news about Silas on Monday, May 28, while the big Jubilee party at the McQueen house takes place a week later on Monday, June 4.

[Kate!]

Its boring now, I agree, should have been killed back last year, at least she would have gone out in style

[bbfan1991]

I am still enjoying this current psycho Mercedes thing to her usual man eater, not learning from her mistakes.

Jennifer Metcalfe is a good Actress IMO and her best scenes were when they shown Malachy's death, where she really stood out!

I agree, she needs more variety.

I really could not care about the Bart drugs storyline:sleep:.

Mercedes is such a predictable character, shes long past being entertaining.

[Vanessa]

A Brendan and Bart scene! Omg! This is so good! Love it! :devil:

[Mrluvaluva]

It's getting really tedious for me at the moment. I barely concentrate on it.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I agree this Bart plot is awful, so many plot holes

1. Who tipped of the Police to search the McQueens
2. How did he sell the Savages home thing, and when he did where was they?
3. How did he manage to break into the school
4. Why was that lesbian teacher at the school so early

[Vanessa]

I'm so sick of Stug! It's boring! :sleep: Stendan are so much better! Fun, sizzling, exciting! :evilgrin:

Both are terrible tbh

PJ Brennan has revealed that his Hollyoaks character Doug reveals his homosexuality for the first time next week.

Brennan's alter ego Doug Carter shared a kiss with business partner Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) earlier this month, but has since been unable to cope with his feelings.

Speaking to Inside Soap, the American actor explained: "Doug has shut himself off from the world - he hasn't been showing up for work and has been hiding away from Texas, Leanne and Denns.

"He's wholly unwilling to deal with the issue at hand - that's very much like Doug - and to everyone else he appears to be slipping into a deep depression.

"What's been cool about filming these scenes is discovering the nice group of people Doug has around him."

Teasing how Doug overcomes his fears, Brennan added: "Texas comes to the forefront, as she's one of the most important people in his life at Hollyoaks.

"There's a lovely moment where she gently coaxes him into telling her the truth about his homosexuality."

Seems pretty awful really. All this enchanted forest rubbish. Hopefully Lynsey will get a bit of screentime as she got a mention.

[bbfan1991]

The ratings were low last night, weather cannot be used as an excuse.

Hollyoaks is a big franchise to C4, well Lime Pictures as they are the ones who produce it but this will be a big concern to the big bosses.

Looks like we are in for some more axing rumours again:(.

[bbfan1991]

I liked Diane's scenes with the McQueen's, hope there will be more to come:).

[bbfan1991]

Aww Nancy is pregnant again, yay:D.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I am liking the Kane family more and more, and feel bad for Callum in particular.

Bart storyline has been dreadful, hopefully we want see him for a while, nice to see Diane though.

I lol'd when Carmel went on the date with Ed.... "Well I had my own Salon, then I was a Police Office, oh then I was a nun....." :joker:

[Jords]

Like it was a job :laugh3:

[InOne]

So Carmel thinks she's in love? :rolleyes: The whole McQueen clan is silly as well, their silly code is a massive contradiction to pretty much all their history. And it seems odd a mother would put her nephew before the rest of her daughters. Saying that though, she did choose which one of them she wanted to be killed...

Is Silas back? :eek:

[bbfan1991]

Nope:(, he is unable to stand trial because he is deemed mentally fit not to and this sets Mercedes off on a downward spiral again and causes problems for those affected by his crimes.

[Marsh.]

So, what does that mean? What happens to Silas?

Glad there's some kind of follow up though. All of them just moving on and forgetting so soon wasn't good.

[bbfan1991]

Kieron Richardson has hit back at Hollyoaks fans who claim Doug's gay storyline is unrealistic.

Speaking to Heat magazine, the Ste Hay actor - himself gay - referred to his past experiences in justifying Doug's decision to come out despite having dated the late Bex (Daisy Turner).

Richardson said: "PJ [Brennan] has got quite a lot of stick, people saying, 'This wouldn't have happened in real life, you wouldn't have had a girlfriend in the past'. Well, I had a girlfriend, so it obviously does happen.

"From personal experience, there were very limited gay characters on TV shows," the 26-year-old went on.

"Coming from a council estate and going to a school where to even say the word 'gay' you'd probably get beat up, it would've been great to have something on TV to say, 'You know what? It's actually alright' and if you do say the words "I'm gay" you're not going to melt or disintegrate or anything'. I'm proud that I'm kind of helping people."

Meanwhile, the star admitted that kissing scenes with Brennan were "not so nice" due to the pair's stubble, and prefers embracing former boyfriend Emmett Scanlan (Brendan Brady).

"You get really bad stubble rash," Richardson added. "Everyone thinks that Emmett [Scanlan], because he's got the 'tache, that it really hurts - but because it's so long it's quite soft!

"Recently, from kissing PJ, by the time 5 o'clock comes, [our stubble has] grown back. Merging them together is not so nice."

:sleep: He does not get it, it is unrealistic. Doug was all about killing himself because of Bex at Christmas, but suddenly he is now fully gay? It is also the fact he has turned gay over night without weeks or even months to develop.

HOLLYOAKS: STE HAY'S LOVE DILEMMA

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/253382/Hollyoaks-Ste-Hay-s-love-dilemma/

[bbfan1991]

Hollyoaks stars Emmett Scanlan and Karen Hassan have been cast in upcoming BBC thriller The Fall, Digital Spy can confirm.

The pair, best known for playing Chester residents Brendan Brady and Lynsey Nolan, have been filming the five-part drama over the last few weeks.

Starring X Files legend Gillian Anderson and Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan, The Fall focuses on a serial killer on the loose in Belfast and the female detective superintendent in charge of the investigation.

Scanlan is playing the role of DC Glen Martin, one of the detectives investigating the unsolved murder that Anderson's character DSI Gibson is brought in to review.

Meanwhile, Hassan has landed the part of Annie Brawley, a young accountant who catches the eye of murderer Paul Spector (Dornan).

As previously announced, the pair's Hollyoaks co-star Bronagh Waugh (Cheryl Brady) is also involved in the project, playing the role of Paul's wife Sally-Ann Spector.

Scanlan, Hassan and Waugh have all been juggling The Fall with their Hollyoaks commitments and are not leaving the Channel 4 soap to play their new parts.

Other cast members confirmed for The Fall include ex-Hollyoaks star Gerard McCarthy, Holby City's Niamh McGrady, The Jury actor John Lynch, Roy's Simon Delaney and Emmy-winning Good Wife actress Archie Panjabi.

The Fall is scheduled to air this winter on BBC Two.

Hollyoaks star Karen Hassan has praised the soap's bosses for creating a friendship between her character Lynsey Nolan and troubled Mercedes McQueen.

The pair struck up a bond at the beginning of the year, and will share more screen time this week as Lynsey comforts Mercedes following the news that serial killer Silas Blissett will not stand trial.

Hassan told OK Extra of the storyline: "It's been great because Jennifer Metcalfe and I have a good chemistry and we really enjoy filming scenes together. The storyline with the doctor taking advantage of us both was particularly fun.

"I don't think there are enough female friendships on soaps, so it's nice they have that relationship."

Lynsey is currently dating Mercedes's ex-fiancé Riley Costello (Rob Norbury) in secret. The pair leave Mercedes stunned by going public with the romance in next week's episodes.

Hassan explained: "I think [Lynsey's] wracked with guilt… but then she does feel that she deserves to be happy for a change because she usually puts everyone else's needs above her own."

Asked where she wants Lynsey to go next, the actress replied: "It's really hard to think of something that hasn't been done before, but I'm really enjoying the love triangle storyline at the moment because it's so different to the Silas storyline. I just want to do anything that's going to get the tears flowing or your heart jumping. I love all of the high drama!"

[bbfan1991]

Hollyoaks star Karen Hassan has admitted that she wants serial killer Silas Blissett to make a dramatic return to the village.

The actress revealed that Jeff Rawle, who played evil Silas, would return to the role if the show's producers asked him back.

Hassan's character Lynsey Nolan found herself embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Silas last year as she was the only person who saw his true colours.

Reflecting on the plot, Hassan told OK Extra: "That's the sort of storyline you want to get, because it's so dramatic. One minute you're in tears and the next minute you're screaming at someone. I'd like to see more of that side of Lynsey. She's the girl next door but we saw a much stronger and determined side to her.

"I saw Jeff, who played Silas, at the Soap Awards and he said he'd come back if he was asked, so I'm hoping there will be a prison break storyline in the future!"

The 30-year-old added that her current Hollyoaks contract runs until August, but her filming schedule has been less hectic since the Silas plot reached its conclusion.

She said: "During the Silas storyline, I found it hard to do anything but go home and sleep because you're absolutely zonked doing that sort of thing. At the moment I'm not on set as much so I have my evenings to myself just like any other job. I went home for a week recently and also went on holiday with my friends."

This week's Hollyoaks episodes see the villagers forced to revisit their memories of Silas when he hits the headlines once again.

[bbfan1991]

Finally the words I wanted to hear from Riley: ''My grandad killed my mom''.

Oh Myra.. socks n crocs :|

About time that there was some aftermath to what people thought of Silas' killing spree.

I wish Maddie would go away!:bored:

Kieron Richardson has revealed details of next week's twist in Ste's Hollyoaks love life.

Speaking to Inside Soap, the actor declared that abusive ex-boyfriend Brendan Brady (Emmett Scanlan) will next week manipulate his alter ego into reigniting their relationship at the expense of Doug Carter (PJ Brennan).

"This is typical Brendan - he's messing with Ste's head," Richardson told Inside Soap. "He tells him he's changed, and promises their relationship will be different this time.

"Ste has a tough choice to make: either stick with Doug, or take a big leap of faith with Brendan."

The star further teased: "We're going to see a very big reaction from Doug in the final episode of the week.

"We've got the 'Stendan' fans, and now the 'Stoug' army. Both camps will be very happy as the week goes on, but by Friday, their worlds will be rocked as well."

Richardson recently stated that he prefers filming Ste's happier romance with Doug to his alter ego's dark relationship with Brendan.

A Hollyoaks special next month is to get an innovative new social TV experience, after Channel 4 teamed up with Bauer Media's Heat magazine.

Heat4…Live! is a dual screen experience that will run on E4.com and Heatworld.com, providing companion content around three key episodes of Channel 4 shows this summer, starting at 6.30pm on June 8 for the Hollyoaks 'Savage Party' special.

http://i1.cdnds.net/12/22/618x380/media_heat_4.jpg

The service will act as a 'second screen hub' when the show is on, as well as host a live and interactive 'show-about-the-show' for 15 minutes after the programme ends.

Bauer Media created the campaign after Channel 4 issued a call for "an innovative and noisy new platform that speaks to Channel 4's core values, providing a richer viewing experience for fans of C4's shows".

Heat4 seeks to take advantage of a growing trend of "dual-screen" behaviour, involving viewers accessing social networks and companion online content while TV programmes, such as The X Factor and The Voice UK, are being shown live.

As Hollyoaks is being aired, the Heat4 experience will serve up bespoke companion content and curated Twitter feeds, which Channel 4 hopes will "create an experience akin to the audience watching telly together and bantering with friends".

Box TV, the subsidiary of distribution group DCD Media, has produced the 'show-about-the-show', which will be hosted by T4's Will Best and Heat editor Lucie Cave.

Broadcast live from a London living room, the show will include appearances from cast members and Skype chats with celebrity fans.

The second-screen experience will 'spring to life' on E4.com and Heatworld.com as the show starts, and will exist in companion mode throughout the duration of the 10-week campaign as a bespoke entertainment hub on both sites.

Heat4 will be run live for episodes of two other Channel 4 shows this summer. The identities have not yet been announced, but they are likely to be more youth-oriented programmes, potentially on E4.

"We are thrilled to be producing this brilliant campaign in partnership with Channel 4," said Lucy Banks, the executive creative director of Bauer Media.

"It allows us to use heat's ability to ramp up engagement and 'editorialise' excitement about great Channel 4 shows with this ground-breaking new format that rewards their viewers - and ours - with an even deeper experience of the stuff they love best."

Channel 4's acting head of marketing James Walker added: "The way people watch TV is changing all the time and we're constantly looking to create new and exciting ways that bring audiences to, and engage them with, our shows.

"Combining Heat's strong editorial with Channel 4's great programming will make for a really captivating viewer experience and we've loved working with Bauer to bring Heat4 to life."

Heat4 comes as Heat prepares to launch a new celebrity and music TV channel on July 3, as a joint venture with Box TV and Channel 4.
