Yes because James Bulger's mom got upset, I understand it would have been hard for her and other victims families to watch had they gone through with it but the storyline they had planned was something different.

Hollyoaks have covered some gritty plots through out the years i've watched for a long time now. The new producer will sort things again and cull the deadwood and also bring it back to form.
