I enjoyed the Dr Browning and Mercedes appearances. Mercy's scenes with Cheryl were good too.

I am happy that Darren and Nancy are back on track.

Did you see Brendan and Eoghan on the sofa? Cringe!

[bbfan1991]

I did not see the E4 episode.

I liked Eoghan at first but not sure now after this business with Brendan, although he leaves soon anyway.

They all ready done something similar when Brendan first arrived, I forgot his name but someone from Ireland came to hollyoaks and he was a ex of Brendan as well. Boring.

Macca. But Brendan never tried to shag him!

Over on Hollyoaks, news that former Neighbours star Dan O'Connor is bowing out from the role of Ally Gorman has also now been confirmed.

At the weekend, reports said that the soap's cast had gathered for O'Connor's 'leaving party' in Liverpool. In fact, this was O'Connor's birthday party rather than a leaving bash, but Ally will indeed be departing the show as his storyline reaches its conclusion.

Hollyoaks bosses are keeping tight-lipped over exactly how and when Ally will make his exit.


So that is confirmed. I hope they continue to trim the cast down now there is new management again and stop making the cast too big.

'Hollyoaks' to launch online anti-bullying initiative

Hollyoaks bosses are launching a special online project to tie in with Esther Bloom's ongoing bullying storyline.

Esther, played by Jazmine Franks, is currently experiencing a tough time at sixth form college as her so-called friends continue to tease and isolate her.



The plot develops further this week as fellow student Dylan Shaw (Mikey Riddington-Smith) innocently creates his own micro-blogging site DocYou to enter a filmmaking competition.

When the other sixth formers begin to misuse Dylan's creation, it soon becomes a public forum to broadcast humiliating content about Esther, which makes her situation even more unbearable.

Hollyoaks are now teaming up with Channel 4 Education and Beatbullying to bring the fictional micro-blogging site online for real. DocYou will allow viewers to further explore the emotional storyline through a range of exclusive content, including videos, photos and text posts.

Show chiefs hope that the project will help to highlight the impact of social media on everyday life - including the issues of cyber bullying, privacy and the pitfalls of revealing too much online.

A Hollyoaks statement said: "The project is supported by Beatbullying and will explore the impact of social media on everyday life, and what happens when somebody is constantly picked on in small ways.

"This ground-breaking initiative will add a whole new level of depth to the story and highlight how easy it is to miss what is really happening on a site full of seemingly benign content, and how this content can become an additional source of bullying for some people."

Content will also include behind-the-scenes videos of the Hollyoaks cast talking about the issues raised and their own experiences with bullies.

Additionally, Hollyoaks will work with Beatbullying offline on a series of other initiatives, which will see some cast members train and shadow as cyber mentors to raise awareness of the issues involved.

Esther's bullying storyline launched in May but has become more serious in recent weeks as Maddie Morrison (Scarlett Bowman), Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) and Ruby Button (Anna Shaffer) have been making her life a misery at college.

It has now been confirmed that the story will develop "right through to the New Year", leaving Esther in a lonely and desperate situation as the 'teasing' worsens.

Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood commented: "Hollyoaks has always had a youth focus and we never shy away from tackling difficult youth issues. I am really proud of this story and how it realistically approaches bullying, which is so relevant to our audience."

Channel 4 Education editor Gemma Brady added: "We are delighted to be working with Hollyoaks on this project. The show has a strong track record of tackling difficult issues and feels like the perfect home to explore the complexities of bullying in a connected age."

DocYou will go live tomorrow evening (October 25) at 7pm after the Channel 4 airing of Hollyoaks.


This is a really good idea, well done to Hollyoaks and I hope Esther's ordeal helps those who are going through the same things as her in real life.

[bbfan1991]

Sad that Esther's SL will be going on to the New Year at least, which means that Maddie etc survive the crash.

[Marcus.]

poor Dylan

[Kate!]

glad the Ally character is going, had a lot of promise initially, but has been a big let down, they could have done more with him.

[Vanessa]

I just want to see Brendan. He's the best! Then i like Chez, Ste, Joel, Dancy, Rhaqui , Esther and the McQueen.

[bbfan1991]

RIP Lynsey Nolan.

[bbfan1991]

Is that Lynsey's Mother and Father?

The funeral episode was highly emotional, I was choked up, awww.

[bbfan1991]

It is so good seeing more of the older and popular characters on screen. I am excited about this new era with BK back in charge with Tony Wood and all these behind the scenes changes, although I wonder if they will announce a new Series Producer or simply keep Bryan in Emma's role with Tony as his boss?

[bbfan1991]

"Now she looks perfect" Brendan about Cheryl in her red clothing. I hope Cheryl gets her fun side back soon.

Aww at her and Double B carrying the coffin.

[bbfan1991]

The karaoke looks fun.

[bbfan1991]

Oh Brendan. Darren was out of order with that remark though.

[bbfan1991]

Why must every new character shag or have shagged Brendan Brady?

[bbfan1991]

Ooh at Cheryl and Ste seeing Brendan and Eoghan getting it on.
