I think they'll start to use Finn more if they're going to develop the teen group.

:nono: Finn has to die. now.

Bad times, did you see E4? lol

DS interview with Stephanie Davis:).

After a year at Hollyoaks, has it been everything that you expected?
"It's been everything and more. It's just so good to come to work and do something that you love. Everyone's lovely here and it literally is like the Hollyoaks family. Even when I spoke to people from other shows at the Soap Awards, they commented on how we all seem like a family and really look out for each other. So I get to come to work to do what I love with people that I love - it's brilliant."


We've seen Sinead show more of a bitchy side in the past few weeks - what are your thoughts on this?
"I love it! I love playing the bitch and I want to do it more. I think Sinead did start out quite cocky and a bit of a bitch, and then as things went on with Diane and things like that, she did become a bit more laid-back. I think Sinead feels like she can't trust anyone, so she puts a barrier up and pushes them away a bit."

How will things progress for Sinead in the coming weeks?
"She will open up a bit more and make a few new friends. She's got some interesting stuff coming up. She goes nice for a little bit, but then the bitch starts coming back! She'll have a bit of a rivalry with someone…"

Is the storyline between Sinead, Ruby and Esther just schoolgirl bitchiness or could it become more of a serious bullying storyline?
"I think it could be more serious with Ruby, but not with Sinead. I don't think Sinead's really like that. I don't think Sinead is a bully, I think she's just the 'bad girl'. So I don't think we'll see Sinead as a severe bully, but we could see her getting into the wrong type of things and mixing with the wrong type of people - the bad characters of the show!"

Do you like the relationship between Sinead and Bart?
"Yeah, Jonny Clarke who plays Bart is one of my best friends in real life, we're really close. Everyone always asks if we're together in real life and I'm like, 'No!' because he's got a girlfriend!"


We do see Sinead away from the rest of the O'Connors quite a bit, so would you like to see more scenes with her and the family?
"Yeah, I would. I have had quite a lot of stuff with Diane and recently we've been filming together so much - it's been non-stop with full days. I think Diane is going to start speaking to other people, not just the kitchen sink! (Laughs) We'll have also scenes together over meal-times and things like that, but I am enjoying working with the other characters as well - Sinead's getting out there and doing different stuff."

Could we see Sinead's real mum return any time soon?
"I'm not sure at the moment - I don't think we'll see her return any time soon. Maybe we could see her return later on, but I think everything's cool at the moment. I enjoyed working with her as she was lovely - she was really laid-back and very different from me!"

Finally, are you enjoying working with Hollyoaks' new boss Gareth Philips?
"Yeah, he's really nice. He's really easy-going and if you have a problem, you can go up and speak to him. The other day, I had a meeting with him in his office and he said, 'This is what's going to happen - tell me what you think'. He's like a friend and he's very straight with you. I like that, it's really nice and it's never daunting going up to the producer's office. When he first started, obviously we all saw him as the boss but now it's just completely relaxed and I get on with him really well. I think he's done really good with the show as well."

Glad that Stephanie said that Diane is going to feature more:D, only right that they use Alex Fletcher more after making mistakes with her character.

Even better that Steph seems to love it there, although I do see her departing for a music career at some point unless she decides to stick with the acting?

Why they signing people who just want to sing? D:

Search me, although Stephanie Davis is a trained actress too and a good one at that:).

Must say now i'm warming to Sinead being a bit of a bitch:blush:.

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has predicted that her character Mercedes McQueen will continue her cheating ways in the coming weeks.

Mercedes has enjoyed an on-off fling with pub landlord Carl Costello this year, despite being engaged to his footballer son Riley (Rob Norbury).

Although Mercedes has recently tried to keep her distance from Carl, the storyline is revisited in next week's episodes as her sister Jacqui (Claire Cooper) finds out about the affair. Jacqui also learns that Mercedes is planning to fake a miscarriage after lying about being pregnant.

Jacqui is left disgusted by her sibling's behaviour and her discoveries leave Mercedes panic-stricken as she believes that her betrayal of Riley is about to be exposed to all.

However, pondering her character's next move, Metcalfe told Soaplife: "She wants Riley. She loves Riley. But she can't help fancying Carl. There's a difference between love and lust in Mercedes's eyes. Carl is really keen and if she gave him the nod, he'd be right back in there.

"If Jacqui keeps her mouth shut, Mercedes will be relieved she's still got Riley and won't be thinking about Carl - although I think they could end up in bed together again!"

Metcalfe also admitted that keeping Jacqui quiet will prove a difficult task as she seems determined to reveal the truth.

She said: "It's horrible. Mercedes feels like her world could collapse around her at any moment."

Predicted? She would know if they have filmed the scenes:laugh2:.

Hollyoaks star Craig Vye has admitted that he expects his character Ethan Scott to find himself single at the end of his current love triangle storyline.

Ethan is currently in a relationship with student Liberty Savage (Abi Phillips), but has also found himself attracted to Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) over the past few months.

Episodes of Hollyoaks airing later this month see Ethan finally get dumped by Liberty after she finds out that she has been betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend.

The couple's break-up paves the way for Ethan and Theresa to finally get together, but a further twist sees the policeman soon drawn back to Liberty, taking him back to square one.

"Liberty has been quite needy with the whole wedding thing, but Ethan sees her in a different light when she gets all standoffish with him," Vye told Soaplife of the storyline. "He sees her sing at Chez Chez and it's clear he's still smitten."

Vye confirmed that Ethan secretly reunites with Liberty, despite having told Theresa that he is free to be with her.

"He's fallen for Theresa yet part of him still loves Liberty," he said. "They share a kiss and it looks like they're secretly back on."

Asked whether Ethan's actions could end badly, the actor replied: "It looks like it. I can see Ethan ending up on his own, but that could be the best thing for him - he's clearly not ready to settle down!"

hopefully this is Libertys exit storyline :joker:

I think it will, reckon she'll find out about Theresa being a killer (stumbling upon a conversation between Theresa and Ethan) and will then attempt to blackmail her but then Silas strikes on her wedding day to Ethan (my storyline idea:p).

Liberty is easy to get rid of because Jorgie P is popular and they won't want her chracter to leave, even if they wrongly made her a killer.

I was liking what I saw on E4 till I remembered Emmerdale was on:p, trying to watch the 6:30 episodes only from now on ha ha.

It's annoying how they have a few good storylines going on then one really awful one that kills the episode. Basically Duncan lol He's just awful

I think the actor is alright, they've just given him awful storylines and cringy stuff to act:shocked:.

Wish I could give a dam about the Mercedes-Riley-Carl plot but it's awful. It was rushed into, repetitive and eventually boring. Even the Silas plot hasn't added any extra spark.

Plus, I'm sure Mercedes has lied about a miscarriage before. Only it was after an abortion. Unless they can give her something good I say it's time Mercedes left.

^ I really like Mercedes and they had the potential to really change her adulterous ways after Mal died but oh no they had to go and make her have another affair:bored:. Hopefully once the truth comes out they will this time redeem her!

Can't wait to hear whatr Gareth Phillips will have to say in his DS interview about the plans for HO:).

The Noah Ste Brenden thing is back next week. It's like they can't think of new stoylines :bored:

The love triangle business is going to take a backseat once..

.

Brendan and Ste have struck up a fanbase so the producers will want to keep their fans happy...

That good then I guess lol

Yeah and we've been promised more Diane scenes and her talking to other people:amazed:.

She was looking very fit on E4. I like Bart and Sinead together, I hope Jason/Jasmine stays out of it :bored:

I prefer him with Jason:joker:. Although he is fun with Sinead!

The character Lucy Dixon plays is his ex;).

Yeah but it's all just soppy drama with Jason. Better him just being normal with Sinead. Anyway hopefully the McQueen/O'Connor thing puts Jason in the backseat

Carley Stenson has won the lead role in Legally Blonde: The Musical. Really pleased for her!:amazed::)

It baffles me how the tides turn in fanbases when a character turns gay.

People didn't really like Ste and laughed at the thought of Brendan as a villain. Put them together in a domestic abusive, closeted homosexual relationship and people are acting like they are gods. Same thing with Christian and Syed on Eastenders. And Sophie and Sian on Corrie. Hated characters that people suddenly love. The appreciation threads these characters get on DigitalSpy makes me wanna hurl.
