"Leanne cannot let her relationship with Lee go" grumbles our informant "She really doesn't care abou the impact of her accusation- even if it means someone with two children to look after might be headed for the slammer! But Lee will have to work out who's side he's on- and whether he still wants to be with Amy in the face of Leanne's allegations"

As Jason sets off on his first date this week, pal Bart isn't just worried about his safety- he's also confused about his feelings for his ex girlfriend Jasmine. Now that Jasmine is living as Jason, Bart's made it clear that thier relationship is over. Will he change his mind once he see's Jason with someone else though?
"Bart's definitely not gay, but the situation isn't so cut and dried" shares our sneak "He's throwing himself into his new romance with Sinead but even she can see that he's still got a strong bond wih Jason. Sinead's keen to get Jason out of the way for good- but that really isn't going to be as easy as she'll think".

Brendan and Warren are at loggerheads again this summer, as they disagree on how to launder a stash of stolen money they've hidden at the club. But with Ethan hot on thier heels, will thier bid to outsmart eachother land them both in hot water?

But if Warren goes down, will he take Brendan with him?"

[InOne]

The Mercy one and the Leanne one have been done :S

Leanne accused Amy of attacking her :S

[bbfan1991]

I think they get confused with the spoilers, or just rehashing plots for the sake of it...

[InOne]

Better not be Sick of Leanne

[bbfan1991]

It really is the Ruby Button show at the moment.

Wonder when this big Nancy storyline that they promised is coming?

[InOne]

Yeah Ruby is ok but meh... Surely Frankie wouldn't take all that crap from a practical stranger lol She'd well be thrown out

This scene was so epic. I love how she breaks the fourth wall and love the music they used.

I would really like to see Clare return, she was my all-time favourite.

Was just about to say love how she made it know she was looking at the audience!

Only seen a few eps back in Clare's day, seemed an epic character and seriously should be brought back.

Channel 4 has reportedly identified up to £12 million worth of product placement opportunities for Hollyoaks under newly-relaxed UK regulations.

According to documents seen by Broadcast, the placement opportunities cover six areas, including fashion, health and beauty and coffee/retail expected to gross up to £2m each. Opportunities were offered to relevant companies last month and sealed bids are due to be submitted by June 10.

Channel 4's bidding process follows weeks of conversations with brands and media agencies about the best ways to integrate product placement in its flagship soap opera.

Product placement deals on British television have been made possible by changes to the law introduced by the government last year, and brought into force by Ofcom in February.

A 52-page 'Product Placement Prospectus' has been prepared by Channel 4 with input from Hollyoaks producer Lime Pictures.

The broadcaster hopes to have contracts signed by July 8 in order to enable Lime to introduce the products in line with Ofcom's rules and guidelines. It is expected that the first brands will appear on Hollyoaks by August or September.

Channel 4's product placement document reveals that the broadcaster wants to secure deals that also include off-screen licences and promotional rights, such as using Hollyoaks cast members for PR.

David Charlesworth, Channel 4 head of sponsorship, placement and funded content, said that the strategy is to demonstrate how product placement can drive sales.

However, he also warned that Channel 4 may not be able to secure its £12m target for Hollyoaks. Instead, the "ambition" is to take "circa £3m for PP in Hollyoaks for the first 12 months, one way or another".

Other expected product placement money spinners for Hollyoaks include technology and mobile at £750,000 to £2m, along with retail finance and film/music events at £500,000 to £900,000 each.

In March, Channel 4 agreed its first product placement deal involving retail chain New Look appearing on a new fashion show for the T4 strand.

^ That's good news at least, shows that Channel 4 still have faith in Hollyoaks and they wouldn't have done this if they had plans to axe the show.

Hollyoaks is still an important programme for their schedule as it's got the core fanbase age range that are watching it.

[InOne]

Suppose it makes things seems a bit more realistic as well

[bbfan1991]

I like how the plots all interweaved into one another during this episode and that it was set on a night out.

Ruby actually is good with Riley and co, much better than the silly bitchy panto act.

['Conor]

just caught up with Hollyoaks.

Todays C4 ep is arguebly one of the best episodes of the year so far loved it all being at night and SOOO many characters being involved i liked the inclusion of Mitzeee, Carmel, Amy and even Jamil

[bbfan1991]

I want Lynsey back.

I've got a feeling she'll be heavily involved with Silas' storyline again because surely there will be a scene with people admitting she was telling the truth all along?

[bbfan1991]

New Waveguide spoilers and no mention of Ruby for once.

Like the look of these!

[bbfan1991]

Yesterdays C4 episode pulls in 660,000 viewers. Well it is the summer holidays plus when they count the C4OD viewers it totals to more or near abouts a million anyway.

Hollyoaks bosses have today confirmed details of a new set that's due to appear on screen in the coming months.

The soap's official website reveals that a coffee shop will open in the Hollyoaks Community College campus later this year, providing a new hangout for the show's student characters.

Hollyoaks' new set is likely to fill the gap left behind by the loss of Il Gnosh, which burned down in a blaze last November.

In a further twist, show producers have invited viewers to name the new set and are inviting suggestions via the official site. The idea deemed the best will win and the coffee shop will be named accordingly.
