Im 90% certain that the secret is he's actually really poor. HO have been dropping hints about it the past couple of weeks, how he was eating out of date biscuits, didn't have enough money for a sandwich, etc. He's either really poor and/or spending all his money on fashion.


I'm not that excited about the SL and the new producer Emma Smithwick clearly hasn't listened to any fans (even though in her interview she said she has, several times!) because it seems no one cares or wants to learn about George and i'm with them. Maybe this SL will make him more likeable and less stereotypical?

    Whatever his secret is it's going to be painfully dull.

    I think it might be interesting. My sister suddenly like George very much after the Brendan/George scene. She felt sorry for him. So I guess they can sway people. She hated him beforehand. Slowly, I think as we get to know him we may grow fond of him.

    Yes....just very recently I've started to warm to George a little bit. The teens in general, really. I liked Tilly when she stood up to Maddie the other day, and I REALLY like Callum. Jono and Neil are inoffensive no-marks. Sinead is a pure irritant and the less said about her, the better. Bart has one facial expression: that of the constipated indignant. Maddie....I've gone from hating her to tolerating her, despite her being so horribly "typical". 'Nobody GETS me. Nobody GETS me.' Yes, we do: you are an incredibly attractive girl doing the tortured soul act. Nothing new.

    So yes. In summary: teens are getting better as they are tolerable now, rather than making me want to smash my face through the TV.

    For me i want him to be axed after his secret is revealed along with his friends and the people i name already in this post but i have a feeling that they have converted people HO have shown them so much over the past wks that people are bound to like the 6th formers

    George was going to have a storyline sooner or later, at least it isn't a shallow one. I don't like George, but there have been a couple of scenes lately when he has been okay, hopefully his storyline will be watchable and maybe it will change him when people find out the truth.

    If it is about George's family, it may also tell us how and why all these teens are going to this college despite living miles away, unless George is homeless and his family kicked him out.

    My money is that his secret that he is some rent boy for old men;)

    Be an interesting storyline if it really would be and would add depth to his character.

    I didn't like George at first. But now I am warming to him. I don't even mind the 6th formers to be honest. (As long as that is not entirely who HO focus on).

    I really like Tilly too, I hope she gets a good storyline.

    Can't wait to see Cindy coming to the forefront of the show as well in the New Year.

    I think they need to carry on letting the teens interact with other characters, rather than their little group. I actually thought George was nearly bearable after his scenes with Brendan. Same with that one with the lisp after his scenes with Tony. Nearly.

    I think they should just have - Maddie, George, Tilly, Bart, Sinead. And maybe Jono at a push.

    I agree with you.

    He has just got a bad press on here with those who presume gay people all act like butch men.

    Really? Or because he seems to be treated as "one of the girls" and frankly I find the phrases he uses supremely irritating. Maddie and Jono speak like that too and I dislike them too. He's like Hollyoaks' version of Kurt from Glee but without the singing talent.

    Saying that it was an enjoyable scene with Brendan the other day, maybe he'd be better with other characters rather than the girlie clique.

    The core of hollyoaks has always revolved around the students, dating right back to the first time it appeared on our screens.

    I am a big speaker on growing Mercedes and hating George. HOWEVER

    Maybe, like Janine Butcher, Mercedes just isn't going to grow out of her connection to sex and therefore prostitution is the most obvious and natural step for her and I think it will really deliver.

    George has become a real person the last few weeks and based on his break-down over Maddies diss and his general self I expect he's got some kind of depression which is very common inn gay teens and I was thinking how HO is very good with gay characters yet has never done a full homophobic bullying story - with 12 gay teen suicides inthe US press this year I'm stunned.

    Exactly - no one likes one of the guys being one of the girls. Same old story.

    If they aren't playing football, battering anyone in sight or dressing like the boy next door - they're accused of playing a stereotype and criticised for showing one - when all they are doing is portaying a character that really does exist on a big scale in society.
