Glad to see so much of Jennifer Metcalfe. I love Mercy! I hope she takes revenge on Claire ! :devil:

Spoiler:

Ooh now they know about Clare having Mercedes.

Clare going back to Tom:o:devil:.

Mercedes and Dr Browning are good together.

Mr C mention, legend.

Leanne sees through Will and then falls in love with him, he is using her though. Weird twist!

Darren was a genius then stopping Clare.

The police tracked Browning's phone and Myra finally let Jim call the police. Myra then took off in Jim's car and found Mercy.

Omg! Doug dressed up as Lady GaGa! :laugh2:

Is Leanne leaving the show ? :shocked:

'Hollyoaks' Nikki Sanderson: 'Maxine future is exciting'

Quote:

Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson has said that the show's bosses are lining up an "exciting summer" for her character Maxine Minniver.

The actress hinted that Maxine's relationship with Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) could be taking centre stage as the unlikely pair continue to grow closer.

Sanderson told All About Soap: "It's a very interesting coupling, because they're complete polar opposites.

"The jury is still out on Patrick - people are trying to judge who he is and just what he really wants from Maxine. It's going to be an exciting summer for my character, and I can't wait!"

In the meantime, next week's episodes see Maxine become unsure of Patrick's motivations when he buys her sister Mitzeee's flat.

Sanderson explained: "She's not happy at all, because he's bought it from under her. Maxine is quite a proud person - she isn't the brightest spark, but she's someone who'd want to do that for herself.

"Maxine feels like Patrick is taking control - and being such a strong, independent woman, of course this sort of behaviour would annoy her."

Keen to keep Maxine interested by making her jealous, Patrick arranges for her to find him in a compromising position with Cindy Longford. However, his efforts backfire badly when a heartbroken Maxine heads to Chez Chez and collapses after drinking a beer spiked with drugs.

Good because I like Maxine and think that Nikki Sanderson is fab:). The Patrick thing sounds interesting, although we all know about his dark side.

'Hollyoaks': Mandip Gill on Phoebe, McQueens, George and Deena

Hollyoaks actress Mandip Gill recently caught up with Digital Spy to tell us about Phoebe McQueen's upcoming romance with newcomer Vincent.

If you haven't read the main chat yet, catch up here to find out what's coming up for the pair.

Here, though, we present some bonus Soap Scoop snippets from Mandip about being part of the McQueen family and whether last year's trafficking storyline should be revisited.

As Mandip, how do you feel about being part of Hollyoaks' best-known family?
"Absolutely chuffed! I used to watch Hollyoaks before I joined the show, and I always loved the McQueens. To be part of that now is just brilliant. They're such great characters and they work so well together, so I can't think of any other family that I'd want to be in."

Is there more coming up for Phoebe and George?
"Absolutely. They're going to go through a lot, but fingers crossed they'll stay close. We've seen them go through a lot already, and Phoebe's journey in the show has been with George. I'd hate for that to end now, even if we might go through a little rough patch…"

Do you hope Phoebe keeps her outspoken side?
"Definitely. I love playing this character. She's so different to me, and I'd never have the chance to say some of the things that she says! Phoebe is also a lot younger than me, so I get away with saying a lot more that I wouldn't say in real life!

"If we got rid of that outspoken side, it would be a big part of her personality that we'd lose."

http://i2.cdnds.net/12/14/618x447/so...aks_3323_2.jpg

Earlier this year, we saw that Browning's boss at the hospital was involved in last year's Deena situation. Would you like this to be explored more?
"Definitely. I think there needs to be a time where something big does happen, and people are punished for what they did to Phoebe and George. The viewers need to see a conclusion to this story.

"I think it would also help Phoebe and George to move on. Obviously it will never totally leave them, but at the moment they're constantly reminded of it and we haven't seen anyone be convicted for what they've done. I think the audience needs to see that there are consequences for people like this."

How would you sum up your time at Hollyoaks so far?
"It's been absolutely brilliant. I've had such a great time and I've learned so much, but it really doesn't feel like work. I'm so grateful for this job and I know I'm so lucky."

What do you make of the recent changes to the show?
"I think they're great and it's all starting to fall into place. I know that we've got a lot coming up in the summer and we'll be going onto bigger and better things, so I'm really looking forward to that."

What kind of a viewer response do you see to Phoebe these days?
"It's really, really positive and I'm so lucky with that. I might get the odd little negative comment, but as a whole, I think that everyone has really enjoyed watching Phoebe and George together.

"The viewers also seem to like that Phoebe is really gobby with the McQueens. I know that people really appreciated the relationship between Phoebe and Jacqui, and with Myra now taking on a motherly role with Phoebe, I really hope people will take to that as well."

Phoebe is fab and Mandip Gill is a good Actress:).

'Hollyoaks': Mandip Gill teases Phoebe McQueen's new romance

Quote:

http://i2.cdnds.net/13/17/618x614/so...een-jacqui.jpg

Hollyoaks kicks off a romance storyline for Phoebe McQueen next week as she realises that she has feelings for Vincent Elegba.

Vincent, played by show newcomer John Omole, is one of the illegal immigrants who were set free by Phoebe and Jacqui in last week's episodes.

Phoebe is surprised when she sees that Vincent is hanging around in the village, but as she starts getting to know him, she quickly realises that she wants him to stick around.

Digital Spy recently caught up with Mandip Gill, who plays Phoebe, to hear all the gossip on her new storyline.

How do you feel about Phoebe getting a love interest?
"I'm quite excited! It's been a long time coming, and I know that a lot of viewers have wanted it to happen. It's going to be great working closely with another person.

"Also, after working a lot with Steven Roberts who plays George, I'm interested to see how Phoebe and George's friendship is going to be affected by Vincent coming into the show."

Do you think Phoebe and Vincent are going to be a good match?
"Well, they've got a lot of things in common and I think there's instant chemistry there. The only issue is that we don't really know much about Vincent, but from an initial point of view, they could work well together."

In next week's episodes, Phoebe spots Vincent outside College Coffee. Is she surprised to see that he's still in the area?
"Absolutely. I suppose Phoebe didn't expect to ever see him again - she had no idea where he was going to go. When Phoebe sees Vincent again, she's actually just had a mini-makeover because George is trying to take her to a party. She's really shocked that he's in the village."

Later in the week, Phoebe sees Vincent take control when Maxine collapses at Chez Chez. How does she feel then?
"Phoebe just really admires him. Vincent takes the lead straight away, and Phoebe is just smitten - this is the only guy that she's ever liked. It's great to see him just take control, as he helps Maxine, gets her into the recovery position and waits for the ambulance.

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/16/618x411/so...nconscious.jpg

"As the ambulance and the police arrive at the club, Phoebe realises that Vincent could actually be arrested and deported. So then Phoebe is scared and she realises that she needs to get Vincent out of the village."

What happens next?
"Phoebe takes Vincent back to the McQueens' just to give him some money, so that he can get back on a train to Newcastle. What's interesting is that Phoebe knew she liked Vincent, but once she's in the comfort of the McQueens', she realises just how much she likes him.

"Phoebe also starts to wonder whether Vincent could stay and whether he really needs to run away. As she's handing him the money, she asks him to stay in the village, hoping that he'll agree."

Is Vincent slightly wary of Phoebe's help, or is he accepting of her straight away?
"I think the only thing Vincent is wary of is that he could get Phoebe into trouble. He knows that Phoebe is a nice person and wouldn't get him into any bother, but he's also reluctant to get her involved in this situation. Vincent knows how much of a big deal it is that he's here in the country illegally.

"They actually go on to form a really nice friendship, just as Phoebe did with George when she found him on the streets."

Does Phoebe confide in Vincent about her own time as a runaway?
"Yes, she does. She tells him about her time on the streets, and I think that might be a way to make him more comfortable with her. They've been through some similar experiences, so I think this is a big part of their connection. They can relate to each other."

How are you finding working with John, who's playing Vincent?
"It's brilliant - we get on really well and we have a laugh. We've got a lot of stuff coming up, too.

"I feel like Claire Cooper helped me to learn new things when I joined Hollyoaks and I'm now able to pass those things onto John. I've only been here for 18 months, but I've learned a great deal from working with Claire, Steven and Nicole Barber-Lane, who plays Myra.

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/17/618x417/ho-tx-030513-04.jpg

As Vincent is in the country illegally, do you think Phoebe could be asking for trouble with this romance?
"Well, it is Hollyoaks so nothing is going to be straightforward!"

What was it like to say goodbye to Claire when she bowed out as Jacqui recently?
"I knew that I'd see Claire outside of the show, so in that respect it wasn't too bad. But at the same time, Claire has taught me so much and we've shared so many scenes together. In that respect, it was really emotional to do. A lot of the emotion in those scenes last week was real, because I was saying goodbye to a friend and a colleague.

"As for Phoebe, it's like her 'mum' has gone again and it's a really big deal. She really trusted Jacqui, but she fully appreciates and understands that she had to leave. Phoebe doesn't hate Jacqui for it and she knows that she'll be looked after at the McQueens'."

Do you think Phoebe will fit in well at the McQueen house?
"There have been times when Phoebe has felt like an outsider at the McQueens', but they've always made the effort to bring her back in again.

"You'll see that Myra starts to take Phoebe under her wing and looks after her, so there's a nice little friendship that's formed there. I think Phoebe will be fine and she'll fit in. She'll have her ups and downs, but it'll be nothing like before when she was threatening to leave. Hopefully those days are behind her and she feels comfortable now."

Spoiler about the club! :shocked:

Spoiler:

I preferred the club as The Loft tbh, so it kind of makes sense for that name to be back.

''Chez Chez'' made me cringe:o.

I wonder if Ste gets the club! It would be amazing! :amazed:

'Hollyoaks' Nick Pickard: 'Tony, Diane relationship could blossom'

Quote:

Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard has hinted that Tony's feelings for Diane could develop.

Tony and Diane will be thrown into more jeopardy when they discover they are having twins. Diane is unaware that Tony has been diagnosed with testicular cancer.

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/12/618x549/so...hutchinson.jpg

Speaking to Inside Soap about Tony's relationship with Diane, Pickard said: "I think there is a sense of responsibility there. He opens his home to them because it is the right thing to do.

"It may not necessarily be what he wants at the time, but he still does it! Hopefully from this point onwards, he and Diane might even be able to make something blossom out of these circumstances."

http://i1.cdnds.net/13/17/618x413/so...aks-3591-2.jpg

Pickard also reveals that Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) will be a great support to Tony in his hour of need.

"We're filming the operation scenes at the moment, and it's interesting finding out how this affects other characters.

"Tony confides in Darren initially, and although they've had a love-hate relationship in the past, Darren's still supportive.

"I've got some great stuff with Ashley Taylor Dawson and also Steph Waring - even Cindy comes out of the woodwork! All these people really do care about Tony and are by his side."

This storyline will be sad, but I am strangely looking forward to it because the acting will be good and it involves some classic HO characters.

I think Clare will get her hands on it in the Summer, hope that they have the club more livelier and I do like the dark goings on that take place in there.

Ste could get a share! :hugesmile:

The uni halls/SU bar need to be back too.

The party costumes are good:D.

So Theresa was at the hospital in one scene with her family and back in the village in the next one. Continuity fail!

Theresa is right. Dodger still loves Texas.
