The Cheryl/Brendan scene just was nice and emotional.

Spoiler:

Cheryl accusing Nate of cheating on herm sees him buying flowers for someone and then she follows him to his house, where it turns to be his Mother. Awkward entrance to one another!

Seamus is fast becoming like a sinister Columbo, he misses nothing.

Kevin drugging Maxine, oh dear.

Big spoiler here:

Spoiler:

She survives and he double crosses Walker to save her, this then sets up the Walker vs Brendan showdown because Maxine tells Brendan that Walker is back and Walker has Seamus hostage.

This Will and Texas storyline is awful.

I enjoyed Phoebe having a go at Sinead and Ruby about how they treated Esther, plus John Paul telling Ruby she is not a victim.

'Hollyoaks' Gemma Bissix: 'Clare Devine is extra evil'

Hollyoaks returnee Gemma Bissix has promised that her character Clare Devine will be "extra evil" when she heads back to Chester.

The actress recently reprised her role as Clare and is expected to be back on screen later this month.



Bissix told Channel 5's The Wright Stuff today (March 1): "I've been filming last week. It's good to go back and it's very, very evil.

"I have to promise you - it's extra evil! It's exciting times at the moment."

Show bosses have previously teased that Clare will be causing trouble for Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and Doctor Browning (Joseph Thompson) in her latest storyline.

Bissix is also currently busy working on a touring production of Agatha Christie play A Murder Is Announced alongside Dean Gaffney, who was recently hospitalised after a car crash.

She said: "He's fine - the crash actually happened when we were on the way back from Derby after a show. It literally happened 10 minutes after the show. But he is fine, he's still got a little scar. He had to have something like 68 stitches, but he's back on stage and loving it.

"We start a new play on the 2nd May, so we've got another play starting."

Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.

'Hollyoaks' Gemma Bissix: 'Fans enjoy Clare Devine drama'

Hollyoaks star Gemma Bissix has expressed delight over the response to her return news.

Last month, show bosses announced that the actress had agreed to reprise her role as Clare Devine, who is expected to arrive back on screen later this month.

Bissix told PA: "The feedback has been really great and everyone's been saying, 'We're going to start watching the show again, it's going to be like the old times', stuff like that. So I think it's exciting for people.

"The drama that Clare brings, that's what soaps are about - murders, shootings, killings, affairs and this and that - and it's quite nice to get a dark edge back to it. I think fans really enjoy that. It's real edge of your seat stuff."

Bissix also admitted that she never gets negative comments from fans, despite her character's evil ways.

She said: "I only joined Twitter a few months ago because my boyfriend persuaded me to, and I've never been on a social network so I'm completely new to it, but I've now got 2,000 followers in the last few weeks and they've been lovely and I've not had one negative comment."

I agree, they need a comeuppance too but they are showing fickleness, which I think most people are fickle at some point in their lives when it comes to decision making.

Spoiler:

On Hollyoaks, the drama surrounding Brendan Brady escalates in his penultimate week on screen.

Brendan (Emmett Scanlan) receives alarming news when he discovers that his dangerous nemesis Walker (Neil Newbon) is back on the scene, ready to destroy him once and for all.

The nightclub owner learns of Walker's return when Maxine Minniver drops the bombshell, having escaped after being held captive by Walker and Kevin Foster.

Brendan immediately realises that he needs to get his loved ones to safety, so he bundles Ste and Cheryl into a car and arranges to meet them later.

Heading off to find Seamus (Fintan McKeown) too, Brendan enters Cheryl's flat, but is stunned to discover his father tied up with a gun-wielding Walker standing over him…





Hollyoaks airs these scenes on Friday, March 15 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.

'Hollyoaks': Finn O'Connor recast, returning in April

Hollyoaks bosses are bringing back Finn O'Connor with a new actor in the role, Digital Spy can exclusively confirm.

Keith Rice has taken over the part of Finn and has already begun filming with the Channel 4 soap.



Finn - brother of Sinead and stepson of Diane - was previously played by Connor Wilkinson for a year from September 2010. The character later departed the village to live with his father Rob.

The teenager's return scenes will air in mid-April, making the O'Connor clan a bigger presence in the village again.

Alex Fletcher, who plays Diane, first hinted at Finn's return in an interview with Digital Spy last month.

She said at the time: "I think it's nice to have that single mum and daughter situation. That's the reality of life and there's a lot of single parents out there. Although I do like that, it's not to say that the rest of the family won't make a comeback. It may not be just the two of us forever."

Finn's biggest storyline was an underage sex plot in 2010, which saw him father a baby daughter with Amber Sharpe.

New recruit Rice has previously appeared in three-part children's series Rocket's Island, which was made by Hollyoaks' production company Lime Pictures. His other screen credits include parts in Little Crackers, Small Creatures and Casualty 1907.

Good news IMO, although I would have liked to have seen the previous Actor returning tbh but I wish this new one all the best and will give him a chance.

I'm loving Walker so much! I wish he was staying on the show.

'Hollyoaks': Stephanie Davis teases Sinead's adoption plan

Hollyoaks teenager Sinead O'Connor drops a bombshell on stepmum Diane this week, admitting that she no longer wants her unborn baby.

Fearing that she's not ready for motherhood, Sinead suggests that Diane should adopt the child instead - but is the surprising idea just going to cause more problems for the O'Connors?

Stephanie Davis, who plays Sinead, recently caught up with Digital Spy to chat about the baby plot and the aftermath of Esther Bloom's bullying ordeal.

You must be enjoying being so busy on screen at the moment!
"I am - it's been nice to play something different. Usually Sinead is always just a bitch and she's just had the bullying storyline, so now it's nice to get into a story that shows her as a bit more vulnerable again. It's been really fun and I'm loving work at the moment."

Ruby seemed to be redeemed at the end of the bullying storyline, but that hasn't really happened with Sinead yet. Do you think there'll be a turning point for her?
"I think Sinead has got to be redeemed to be on the show, otherwise she'd just be hated and nobody would speak to her!

"Maybe it hasn't happened yet because Sinead has just had a lot on her plate with the baby in the past few months, so she feels quite alone. She's putting a barrier up and she's not letting anyone in at the moment."

Have you ever been worried that the viewers won't forgive Sinead for bullying Esther?
"Well, when I've been watching the show, I've thought, 'Oh my God, she's such a bitch!' But I do also think that Sinead is a likeable character and sometimes when you watch her, you can't help but laugh at some of the things she does.

"I think Sinead will be forgiven - and she can't really not say sorry for what she's done, so she will apologise. She might not be forgiven straight away, but in time hopefully people will give her another chance. If Sinead doesn't get forgiven, she might go down a very dark route."

There were a handful of Twitter users who confused you with your character during the bullying storyline. Was that difficult to deal with?
"I think it just means I'm doing my job right. You get a lot of people who point out that it's just a TV show, but then you get some people who do think that it's real. It makes me laugh as it is quite funny. Me, Jazmine Franks and Anna Shaffer are really good friends in real life and we have a giggle about it. It's all part of the job."

Why does Sinead decide that she doesn't want the baby this week?
"It starts when Sinead is working at Price Slice. Cindy is being a bit unfair on Sinead and putting her through quite a hard time at work. In the end, Sinead ends up falling off a ladder when she's cleaning the shop windows. She goes to the hospital with Diane, and I think secretly she's hoping that she's lost the baby at this point.

"Then Sinead finds out that the baby is fine, healthy and it's a girl. Diane's happy because she's always wanted a baby, but Sinead now wants an abortion and doesn't tell anyone apart from Cindy. She has a heart-to-heart with Cindy where she asks for advice, and then that's a turning point in Sinead and Cindy's relationship.

"Cindy has been in the same position when she was 16 and pregnant but didn't want Holly. They have a really deep heart-to-heart and become friends. Cindy sees Sinead as a miniature version of herself, and she gives her a few options to consider. In the end, Sinead speaks to Diane and ends up asking her to adopt the baby."

What makes Sinead choose adoption as the best way forward?
"I think Sinead was very open to going for an abortion, but then she hears from Cindy about how she didn't want her baby but Holly became a big part of her life. Sinead feels bad, because an abortion would mean getting rid of a life.

"If Sinead gives her child to Diane, the baby will always be around but not such a big part of her life. Sinead is young so she's still thinking about going out partying, university and her career. She's not ready for motherhood as she's still a child herself. If Bart had stuck around, she would have gone ahead with keeping the baby, but now she's having second thoughts."

How does Diane react to Sinead's offer?
"You'll have to wait and see! I think Diane will have a lot of questions to ask before she even considers this. If Diane says no, Sinead will have to consider other options."

Where do you want the storyline to go next?
"Well, I think this is a good storyline, because I know there's a lot of people who do get pregnant at a young age. One of my friends was in a similar situation after getting pregnant young. It happens a lot and it's a touchy subject.

"Character-wise, I think probably I'd want Diane to adopt the baby, because that means I can still film the giving birth scene! That's the one thing I haven't done at Hollyoaks yet!"

How do you feel about Diane becoming a bigger part of the show?
"I think that's really good - she totally deserves that. Alex Fletcher who plays Diane is so good - she's such a great actress. We have so much fun when we're on set together, and we get through the scenes so quickly because she's such a professional. Alex is like a breath of fresh air, she really is."

Bart (Jonny Clarke) was Sinead's main love interest for a long time on the show. Is it strange not having him around now?
"It's so weird. When Jonny left, it didn't really hit me at first. I spent my whole time at Hollyoaks filming with him, especially with the Jasmine/Jason storyline. Even afterwards, we practically did every scene together.

"It's weird not having him around, but it's good because I get to work with different people and I've got this storyline, which could go in a lot of different directions."

There are a lot of new male characters joining the show in the next few weeks. Could there be a new love interest for Sinead among them?
"Well, I don't think being pregnant would stop Sinead from going after a fella! I don't think anything would stop her, pregnant or not! I think she will always have a flirt. It'll be hard for her, because she is pregnant and she's got a lot of baggage. But in time, I think there will be a new love interest, yeah."

Who else from the recently-departed cast are you missing?
"I miss them all! Claire Cooper was one of my really good friends and we shared a changing room together too, so we always used to have chats at dinnertime. I'm going to miss that. But Claire donated a space in the changing room to me, and she wrote down that it was 'from one chav to another'!

"I miss working with Jonny and it's the same for Scarlett Bowman, Tosin Cole and Dylan Llewellyn - our little group. It was weird when they left, because we were all really good friends on and off set, so we'd hang round together a lot. But I still speak to them all and I know they're doing really well."

Big spoilers and pictures for Brendan's exit- I think some stuff has been rightly hidden by Hollyoaks though.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s1...discovery.html

Spoiler:

I am swaying towards the idea that Cheryl hears her father and Brendan's argument over the sexual abuse and she is the one who shoots Seamus dead.

Brendan then takes the rap because he wants Cheryl to leave Hollyoaks and go and live a happy life.

Don't think they like her on DS.
