Because the viewers really like Esther aswell, It'd be so effective if it does actually happen.

Jonny and Steph who play Sinead and Bart are a couple in real life, they make a good couple and we've just seen Jonny's on screen departure as Bart, but I did not like Sinbart as a couple anyway!

Dr Browning and Mercedes' engagement party will be at Chez Chez? Have Brendan and Cheryl forgotten that he killed her despite him worming his way out of prison?

I blame the writing.

I blame the writing.

They both said that it was Riley who killed Lindsey. Wait until Walker comes back. The good doctor will be in serious trouble!

Paul will slither out of it somehow.

I think Walker will kill Brendan, well Emmett wants Brendan to go out in a blaze of glory e.g. death but I think the Producers might have different ideas?

Walker knows that Seamus abused Brendan. I'm hoping he realizes he wasn't to blame for Cameron death. They can join forces against Pa Brady!

Walker knowing about how Brendans father abused him should play a big part, considering hes the only person that knows & now Brendans father has arrived

Yes. I'm hoping Walker will help Brendan to get rid of dear old daddy!

'Hollyoaks' Emmett Scanlan promises 'epic' ending for Brendan Brady

Hollyoaks star Emmett Scanlan has promised that Brendan Brady's final storyline will be "epic".

The actor recently confirmed that he will be departing the Channel 4 soap as Brendan Brady after two and a half years.

Speaking about his final episodes, Scanlan told What's On TV: "It's going to be an epic storyline, there's going to be a lot of twists and turns.

"Since I joined in May 2010 I've been spoilt anyway with storylines and this is no different, it's an honour. I want to do it justice, not only for the characters and the Bradys, but I want it to ring home for the audience."

Scanlan also outlined plans to relocate to Hollywood following his final scenes for future projects.

"That's where I started, that's where I was working on a show beforehand," he said.

"I'm not going over there in the stereotypical 'Soap actor leaves Hollyoaks to go to Hollywood', it's got nothing to do with that.

"I'm going over there to stay with my manager, I've got auditions and meetings and stuff like that - they're already set up but predominantly I'm going over there to rekindle old friendships that I've kind of neglected over the last couple of years and to relax and take a break, and come back here as well.

"[Hollyoaks producers] Lime Pictures have approached me with the possibility of working on another project, another drama, with me at the forefront of something like that. The ideas they have are very ballsy and make me very excited."

Good luck to Emmett.

'Hollyoaks': How should Brendan Brady exit? - Have your say

Fans learned earlier this week that Emmett Scanlan will be leaving his Hollyoaks role of Brendan Brady.

Since arriving in 2010, Brendan has become one of the most popular characters in the show's 18-year history.



So how will writers choose to say goodbye to the Irish bad boy? Will he flee the village? Could he be killed off?

Of the more unlikely scenarios, could Brendan walk off into the sunset with Ste?

Speaking to Digital Spy last month, Scanlan insisted that he would refuse a dull exit storyline: "I absolutely don't want him to leave in a taxi - I won't shoot that scene. If you write me a taxi scene, I'm not shooting it!"

Indeed, yesterday the actor promised that Brendan's departure would be "epic", whetting viewers' appetite three months before he bids farewell.

Soap Scoop would like you, our loyal readers, to come up with your own fantasy exit storyline for Brendan.

Leave your idea for Brendan's exit in the comments section below and we will publish your best ideas next week...

'Hollyoaks': Esther's bullying plot to take tragic turn

Hollyoaks' ongoing teen bullying storyline will take a tragic turn later this month as college student Esther Bloom makes a suicide attempt, Digital Spy can reveal.

Show bosses have worked closely with the BeatBullying and Samaritans charities while planning the story development, which follows months of torment for the troubled sixth former.

Esther has been bullied by her peers since last summer, when she began to be targeted with a variety of harsh comments, jokes and pranks, with 'queen bee' Maddie Morrison (Scarlett Bowman) as the ringleader.

The mistreatment, which has taken place both at college and online, has intensified in recent weeks with Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) and Ruby Button (Anna Shaffer) unfairly blaming Esther for the recent mini-bus crash which killed Maddie, Jono and Neil.

Upcoming Hollyoaks episodes will see the bullying become even more malicious and relentless. Esther then reaches breaking point without the support of her family, who are oblivious to her desperate situation.

Failing to seek help, Esther makes the devastating and unnecessary decision to end her life. Her suicide attempt is non-fatal, but will have significant consequences for her health and relationships with her loved ones.

By working alongside Samaritans, the Hollyoaks story team are aiming for a sensitive and responsible approach to the issue, following the charity's comprehensive Media Guidelines which advise on how to safely portray suicide and self-harm.

Sal Lalji, Press and PR Manager at Samaritans, commented: "Young people can be a vulnerable audience as they are more likely to be influenced by what they see in the media, and this subject matter is very relevant to them.

"We are pleased to see that Hollyoaks has worked hard to ensure that the storyline has been handled as responsibly as possible to try to limit the risk of copycat behaviour.

"It is important that these issues are tackled responsibly to help people understand the potential consequences of not sharing their problems and that help is, in fact, available."

Jazmine Franks, who plays Esther, added: "It has been a huge privilege to take on the challenge of this storyline. As an actress I have been given the most powerful, emotional and challenging scenes to perform, but also as a young woman I feel extremely lucky to have been given the opportunity to meet and work with some truly inspirational young people through BeatBullying.

"Hearing the stories of young people experiencing similar difficulties to Esther has been both shocking and saddening, but hearing how they have turned their lives around is truly inspirational. I am really proud of this story and hope that it is well received by the audience.

"I can't stress enough how important it is for anyone affected by the issues raised to seek help and support from BeatBullying, Samaritans or any of the hundreds of support networks available."

Meanwhile, Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said: "I am really proud of this story and how it realistically approaches bullying, which is so relevant to our audience.

"We have seen the 'teasing' progressively worsen to a serious case of bullying that leaves a once confident and self-assured young woman in a very lonely and desperate situation."

The show's work with BeatBullying and C4 Education has also recently seen the launch of DocYou, a fictional social networking site that aimed to address the issues of cyber bullying. Additionally, cast members have been involved in BeatBullying's Cyber Mentor Training scheme.

Hollyoaks airs Esther's attempted suicide on Monday, January 21 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.

Samaritans is available for anyone in any type of distress on 08457 90 90 90 in the UK or 1850 60 90 90 in the Republic of Ireland or by email at jo@samaritans.org.

I am glad that Phoebe's homeless storyline has been remembered and not just been forgotten out, although it obviously involves Dr Browning and Mercedes up to no good again.

'Hollyoaks' James Atherton: 'Emmett Scanlan will be missed'

Hollyoaks star James Atherton has spoken about how the cast of the Channel 4 soap will miss Emmett Scanlan.

Scanlan, who has played Brendan Brady since 2010, will make his on-screen exit in March after two and a half years on the show.

Atherton, who plays Will Savage, told PA: "Emmett's a brilliant actor and he's been great to have on the show. I share a dressing room with him and he's brilliant craic as well.

"I think the cast will miss him, absolutely, he's such a huge character. It'll be great at the same time. Him leaving will allow other storylines to come through, other families and that kind of thing.

"The Savages I think will have quite a lot to do. The show will still be as strong but he will be hugely missed, without a doubt."

Speaking of his Hollyoaks departure, Scanlan recently confessed that he didn't want to start to repeating storylines.

RE the big news spoiler...

Spoiler:

It was inevitable and I once what people realise what Esther tried to do and what she has been through that they feel guilty about it. Glad she survives though and now Ruby, Sinead etc need a comeuppance for their bullying!
