I watched a bit before, its unrecognisable now to how it was a year ago. Its like a different show and with 16 characters leaving, its only going to feel more like a new show and there will be no chance of old viewers returning. Ratings have completely fell through now and I think its only a matter of time before C4 get rid of Hollyoaks. With all this creative renewal stuff I'm surprised they haven't already done it.

He did the same to Family Affairs and it was axed the following year; The Bill was completely slated when it took the new approach after he took over.
