Interesting you should say that, because some people have been speculating about whether Gemma Bissix should come back to play the part of her sister...!:)
It's a soapy solution to fixing mistakes like killing off popular characters.. :-)
Emmett Scanlan has given an interview on the main page where he talks about Hollyoaks and his upcoming projects. It's a brilliant read and he is very brutally honest.
This however is hysterical.....
What do 'Stendan' and 'Stug' mean to you?
"A digestive biscuit and tea. Two things that shouldn't go together end up making the perfect marriage. That's Stendan. Leave that biscuit in too long, it gets soggy and limp, breaks off and ruins your tea. That's Stug. Stug to me is a wet biscuit that's ruined my f**king tea."
Which main page?
eta: found it. In the spirit of that honesty he says he admires: he sounds miserable and awful.

Both hilarious and apt. Witty, talented, and gorgeous - what a man!
I feel like Lindsey is literally Lynsey as if they killed her off for shock but still wanted her actual character in the show. She's a nurse who is nice to everyone but wont take crap from anyone, she feels the need to do good by Mercedes, she seems to crop up all over the place and not take no for an answer.

And seems a little bit dirty minx (can't think of another way to describe how I mean ), not in the hygiene sense, and its not necessarily a bad thing I guess.
I don't mean dirty in a horrible way, I think she's quite cool.
Far, far better imo. Old Lyndsay was just blessed with a good storyline written to have viewers rooting for her
Practically every character back then was better than what we get now :cool: I think this soap more than any other has its 'eras' - when you'd have loved it a few years back, you'd absolutely hate what they've done with it now.
Oh dear. I suspected it wouldn't go down too well. But I'm just calling it as I see it. It seems a very strange casting choice in my opinion, which detracts from the credibility of their relationship.
I'm sorry if people think that's superficial or nasty, but I think many people will have thought the same and even those that protest probably secretly thought the same at one point or another.
Every other relationship in Hollyoaks is entirely plausible to me except that one.
How does it lack credibility?
In every day life, you will see plenty of coupls with one partner being more attractive than the other, we'd be in quite a predicament if people were that superficial over looks all the time.
@peejaybrennan: Regardless of how he felt about me, I'm surprised Emmett felt the need to disparage our hard work to make the same show he made for 3yrs.

That's your opinion,not mine. I've watched the show on and off for almost 18 years, mostly off for the first 10 and haven't missed an episode for the last 8. There's always been a mix of good characters/actors and storylines and not so good. I've never loved all of it, nor hated all of it. I'm quite happy with the way its going right now
This might not go down well, but is anybody else wondering why they chose to cast such an unattractive woman as Danny's wife?
I really do have to suspend my disbelief anytime she's on screen, looking like a bullTog chewing a wasp, in trying to accept that she and Danny would actually be a couple and have numerous kids.
I'm honestly starting to wonder whether they deliberately cast her so that the audience would be more supportive of Danny and John Paul's affair/relationship.
I don't expect every cast member to be a supermodel, but I expect the casting of a husband and wife to be more appropriate and realistic.
I know a lot of people don't agree with this quote but I wouldn't dismiss it so readily. I thought the same thing myself the actress who plays Sam isn't ugly but isn't gorgeous either. Most female actresses in Hollyoaks are very good looking and when they aren't they often get a lot less screen time. They could well be setting up so that the viewers accept Danny and JP more easily.
Well get ready for this. According to The Sun, in an interview with Nick Pickard
Tony is going to die as his cancer turns terminal
Oh dear. I neither like nor dislike Tony, he's just part of the furniture there as far as I'm concerned. But another of the long-term stalwarts leaving? That doesn't sound like good news to me. There will be very few characters left that the loyal, regular viewers have any kind of connection with. Sad news. I guess it must be Nick's choice - I know BK is a loon, but is he crazy enough to axe the character?
If the Tony rumours are true then that will leave Cindy as the last original character and even she was played by a different actress for the first six months.
BK seems to be getting rid of some good characters without any good ones to replace them. Out of all his additions, Freddie and Lindsay have been the only good ones so far. If he dares to kill off Tony, I'll be furious.

Not a fan of Freddie to be honest, bit of a dull plank like his brothers Ziggy and Joe. Trevor and Lindsay are the only mildly decent ones for me...altough saying that I'm finding the Lomax's just about watchable at the moment..more then what I can say for the majority of the cast. Was a fan of DI Trent too.
Oh god, if that is true then it is not a good sign of the show that everyone seems to be leaving. One thing I foudn strange was Nicole Barber-Lane said Jorgie Porter was very upset when she told her she was leaving and wouldn't speak to her, but shortly afterwards Jorgie announces her exit too??

Cindy is not one of the original characters. She was close, being there since 1995, but she wasn't there from the first episode.
I can there been a lot of unrest behind the scenes at the moment with all these actors been giving the boot/quiting. Laurie Duncan has already expressed his frustration at how the Kane's we're treated over on twitter. It seems if you weren't a BK creation you could be gone soon. Not a very stable job to be in is it?

Let's not go nuts. There was a bit of deadwood there too. Still is, to be honest.

She's literally the same character but not Irish.
And not as good
