Hollyoaks is easily the best soap on TV right now!

God, have you watched it lately?
If not, you really should.
Great characters from Paul Marquess, which I didn't like what direction he was taking the show, until recently.
I think his era is better than Kirkwood's was at Hollyoaks!
From the trans storyline to Brendan & Ste, to Warren & Mandy.
Its actually BRILLIANT right now, and it does not deserve the bad press it gets and low ratings.
I just hope they don't axe it!

Yes, being trans is not easy, as a trans person myself, I know that.
But the story is great.
Ste and Brendan stuff is amazing.
Loving Jasmine/Jason's struggle and relationship with Bart.
Eva and Cheryl are amazing.
The Mcqueen's are being great. Loving Jaqui and Rhys together.
Steph's loved ones coping with her loss.
Not too keen on the guy candy stuff though!
But overall it's brilliant.
Yeah, I am not keen on the guy candy bore fest either. :yawn:
But then again, do you remember the awful 'MasKara' play!?
Anything involving Lee Hunter bores me, although I like Leanne and Lee together!
I do not know they thought people would be interested in that MasKara rubbish.
The Guy Candy stuff reminds me of the awful Baby Diego stuff a few years back. I hope we're heading towards the same thing!
I loved the Baby Diegos and I love Guy Candy - but I did not enjoy MasKara. The characters and the comedy are really working for me at the moment.
Could not agree more with the consensus of the thread - Hollyoaks is fantastic at the moment. There's so much to love: Jas/Bart, Brendan/Ste, Jacqui/Rhys - the whole Chez Chez crew in general really. As I've said I love the comedy stuff, I like Eva and Sinead and Cheryl and Mitzeee (all the fiesty females are great).
I can count the things I don't like on one hand, which is great. For the record the things I don't like (Amber/Gabby Sharpe, Riley/Mercy/Carl triangle and Warren's return) the rest I am loving.
India's storyline looks amazing however. Will definatley be tuning in for that!
The triangle between Mercy, Riley and his dad looks interesting, I know is quite repetitive for Mercy's character but the actress is quite limited in her acting.
Alex Fletcher so underused she needs to be given more prominence.
Darren needs a storyline not crappy Guy candy stuff he is one of the best characters on the show.
Brenden emm his interesting but my attention has not really been catched by the whole gay storyline with Ste.
Mitzeee we need to see her more she one of the best new additions to the show
the aftermath of Steph death was done very well.
Jason's transformation another one that looks like it going too be good.
the new years spoilers with India and new come Cameron look very promising.
Tony needs some more screen time
Turn off so far
Too many characters, not enough focus on core storylines, plus some awlful acting recently
Warren return's dreadful done, really don't see the point
The band stuff, really I thought they wanted to bring some integrity too this show.
The detective, Liberty and Teresa triangle, boring and the guy looks like his 16.
Gabby, Amber and her pregnancy really badly developed
The ongoing Calvin, Angel baby drama, needs to end soon gone on for too long either lock Tersea up or move on.
You know the characters have personality... the new famalies are settled, they did a blinder with The Costello family inparticular, you would think they had been in it for years!
Stand outs for me are Sinead, Eva, Jas, Bart and Mitzeee. Also love how Eva changed Anita from one annyoning character.. Ricky to is a character that is better these days, it's like her learned how to act better!
Only thing I didn't aprove of is the chopping of scenes because it was so obvious... also still wondering is Warren is needed anymore... Brendan and Danny have stolen the role me thinks.
On the departure front I think they were perhaps needed...
but a big Mistake in letting Charlotte Lau go!!!!!!! (Also Amy if she really is off...) Veronica I'd of also liked to see more off.
