Although many people have not liked what bart has done recently or turned in too,
i feel like his exit was far to rushed and quick the Character has been through alot and they should of redeemed him
they should of had him arrive back at the mcqueen house hold to find a group photo of him jono and neil then a photo of him and jasmine as he looks himself in the mirror he realises what he has become and breaks down
he then Dumps the weed box and hands himself into the police for what He has done
Bk really didnt plan out this exit what so ever imo
any thoughts/

I liked bart but the character has declined alot recently as for joel didn't care much for him at all
they tried to rob brendan and where caught joel says to bart we can never return to hollyoaks again cue shot of barts face and thats it
They had set up a storyline of him being caught out for his role in the crash, then all of a sudden they had Joel seek his help to go against Brendan, something which Bart wouldn't do because he is a coward, then a episode later he is gone, running away with someone who threatened him last year with the drugs that he was growing.
The exit was pretty rushed but the character hadn't been particularly important to the show and isn't going to be remembered in, say, five years time. In the short term, it was probably better that they get the exit out of the way and concentrate of strengthening the characters that remain.
Unfortunately I think they wasted the character and the actors potential after Victoria Atkin left.
Imo Bart was never the same after Jason left. But maybe that's me being biased as I loved there relationship.
how, joel was never progressed and was changed between good and bad every 5 minutes the exit suited his character
That is rubbish makes you wonder what was the point in lying to him about the baby they could of least gave the storyline some closure.
i agree, but it was never properly explored joel would disapear for weeks then come back all innocent then become hardfaced again they never explored it properly
Never cared for Bart so don't really care, but I had a soft spot for Joel (and I think Andrew was very capable) so I wish it had been built up better.
That's how I thought he would leave.
Anyway, can't say I'll miss him too much, but I'd feel a little bit annoyed if I was the actor playing him, I have to say. He's been on the show for a decent amount of time and hasn't done a bad job in the role. He deserved a better send-off than that.
What are you talking about? Bart didn't kill 4 people. The bus crash happened because the brakes on the bus were faulty. It would've crashed into the wedding venue whether Bart gave chase in his car or not.
infairness though if bart wasent chasing them they wouldnt have been speeding so they could of quickly swerved or something
None of that needed to be shown on screen, they could have got the police to arrest him just as he was about to run away, then that could have been it. The McQueens/Sinead could say that as he was caught running away he has been locked up until the court case, which can all be off screen and then that's it. None of it needs to be seen. I know of several soap characters that were arrested and no court case was ever shown, they were just gone.
I really don't know why they didn't do it, it would have been a more satisfying exit for the viewers to watch.. Some characters should get away with what crimes they have done, but Bart isn't one of them, running away with a guy he doesn't even really like was a bad exit for both of them.
I was hoping that Joel would grab the money as he left and just ran and Bart should have gone to jail.
