I didn't agree with the way they wrote Steph out by her deciding to stay in the fire, it felt like a cop out after the time they had spent developing her cancer storyline.
Thank you!!
Totally agree with you. I'm still annoyed to this day that they had Steph commit suicide instead of living her last days/weeks out with her family.
And as far as I know Gilly never told her family the real circumstances behind her death.
Kind of see he wasn't right in his mind after having to witness his wife do that not that it would excuse what happened between him and Jacqui.
He wasn't a ghost, he was a dellusion by Bombhead who was becoming increasingly more mentally unwell after the loss of his mother. I always thought it was quite clever how that happened, at first the viewers just thought it was some mad Hollyoaks thing where people talk to the dead every now and then but it turned out he was symptomatic of a mental illness.
Brendan killing his grandmother. He crossed over to the dark side with that. He was always iffy, but had interesting moments. Now I only see him as a total mess.
The absolute worst storyline of all time was the Justin's "drug addiction" plot. Justin smoked a joint and then instantly became hooked, started hitting his mum, pushed Darlene through a glass window, bullying Ali, running away from home, stealing money, all his stoner mates would come round and trash the place and act like a bunch of junkies...it was the most ridiculously over the top crap I've ever seen.
I'm glad the show has moved on from demonizing weed (a far more accurate depiction was shown in Hollyoaks Later, with Bart and his friends simply getting a bit giggly and chilled out on it, rather than becoming complete monsters.)
Also worth mentions are the beast of Hollyoaks, India shitting herself in the car and poor Dan Hunter's not stop misery throughout 2004 when he's convicted of Toby's crimes, and then just when his ordeal is over, he competes in a car race and his car blows up and kills him.

I thought the reason Justin was acting out was cos he found out his dad killed himself or something?

As good as the storyline was Gilly raping Jacqui was stupid he was a nice guy then suddenly he's supposed to have raped his best mates girlfriend eh no.
Rhys and his sister/cindy not sure which I find worse
Warren's sister Katy, her acting was poor, along with Rhys's sister.
The last later Amsterdam Story line seemed a bit pointless to me.
Anything with Bart or Teresa in, can't stand them. Fortunately don't watch HO for long periods of time, but am always disappointed when I have a watch and see them still there!
India and the car and Carmel and the potato have to be the major dire ones!
Story wise, mercy and Calvin was just so unbelievable. Mercy and Malachy and Calvin and Carmel were both strong enough couples on their own, they didn't need an affair
Rhys current transformation from sleazy git to great guy and now BACK to sleazy uncaring git is something im hating aswell!
Doug going Gay after the heartbreak he went through with the so called love of his life Bex at Christmas. The writers must think we all have dementia or something.
I’ve only just got back into watching HO and my mind is a little fuzzy on all the small stories like jesus potato so most of what I can remember is worst relationship storylines. That said, I’ll never forgive HO for blowing up Dan
Finn & Tony’s mum – Still grosses me out
Darren & Suzanne + Twins – Stop pairing men with their friends’ mums. Why make her pregnant? Why twins? Why does he barely mention them? It was utterly pointless.
Rhys & Kathy – WTF? Again no point other than to be disgusting
Rhys & His Sister – Ew, it’s a shame because I quite liked her and their relationship before finding out she was his sister. It shouldn’t have gone any further after he found out though it didn’t help that I liked his pairings with Sarah & Mercedes around that time too.
Riley & Mitzeee – If they weren’t so closely related then fair enough but they were so ew.
Steph, Dan & Darren – Surely she could find a boyfriend who wasn’t her sister’s ex?
Nancy & Jake – Same as above. Did I dream she also had a brief thing with Justin? If she did add it to the list.
Nancy, Kris, Ravi - No comment
Will faking Kris’ HIV results and then Kris having another HIV scare not long after
Gilly raping Jacqui – No comment
Doug & Leanne Wedding thing, also Ste’s attitude to it when it was his idea and he convinced Doug who didn’t want to do it initially
Not a worst storyline as they’d be fine as a one off but the amount of straight characters that are suddenly gay is ridiculous
Warren & Sasha and also his fake death
Will/Silas stuff – was there even a point?
Bart’s existence
THIS IS NOT NORMAL NOR A GOOD STORYLINE
Carmel/Theresa/Mercedes & Calvin
Mercedes/Tina & Russ
Jacqui/Theresa/Mercedes & Tony
Mercedes/Jacqui & Rhys
That was only one episode, not a whole week like when Hollyoaks devoted a big storyline to Justin and Ali barricading themselves in the family bathroom as a big storyline.
All of the above, plus Carmel's flirtation with nunnery and Duncan bumping his head and briefly becoming a mathematical genius as a result. Oh, and the sheep.
I actually found sheep St quite funny. Shame they made him into lamb chops . If someone's dog was killed, that's sad, someone's lamb pet, that's fine.

What it's not started yet??
Well it'll more than likely be S**T no matter what they do........:(

Heidi and Gaz :eek:
Oh Gaz. How I miss you.
And for anyone who wants a little reminder...
Hahaha, I loved Kathy Barnes! Wish they would bring her back
Also I remember for one episode Duncan decided he wanted to do karate and then totally forgot about it!

John Paul and Kieron story was at its best, dire.

Argh I totally repressed Heidi and Gaz. No wonder Kim Tiddy left.
