The acting is shite, the storylines are completley stupid and not in a good way like Sunset Beach etc. Its full of, dull, vacant and completley talentless "actors" who were hired for looks rather than acting ability.
Its not the storylines I object to - its the appalling acting abilities of some of the cast.
Far too much attention is paid to looks and image, as opposed to acting abilities.
It really says something when people on this forum talk about how the little guy who plays Tom is the best actor out of the lot of them!
Saying the guy who plays Tom is the best actor is not saying anything baout the other actors abilities, it's saying just how good the little guy is. Put him in any show and you'd be hard pushed not to think he is one of the best in it
Hollyoaks is a student staple I have found! Is great fun and is on just when I have my tea so is perfect! Agree that it doesnt take itself too seriously which is quite refreshing, I also find it quite funny for some reason!
I watch and sometimes enjoy. It's a fun programme that fills half an hour, some plotlines are just plain cringeworthy others are pretty average but they do throw in the odd good plot that I enjoy although it's usually nothing serious (comedy).
None of the cast are stars though and were hired for their looks.

People seem to forget that this wasn’t always the case and even as far back as three years ago, Hollyoak’s was better acted, the storylines were actually good and the comedy was much better.
Hollyoaks is a Farce; glad I don’t watch it anymore!!!

Plus its aimed at 12 year olds.
not 12, 13 it's a teen show
Anyway, I don't hate Hollyoaks they just fill it with useless storylines with all these young good looking models with no acting experience at all. Not all the acting is bad, Bombhead, Lee, Sally, Ben, Frankie, Justin, Becca, Tom and Lisa are all very good actors, they're not the best but they do stand out.
And your not allowed on the show if your not blonde or good looking.
Actually thats a good reason. Loads of fit girls.
So how on earth is Zara still in it?!
My husband asked me that question last night LOL!
I love watching Hollyoaks and I'm 27, married with a baby. It's fun to watch, they tackle some hard issues but counter that with good comedy moments - something that Eastenders could do with (and something that Corrie already does - which is why I'm watching more Corrie than Enders these days )
Zara (Kelly Greenwood) is the exception that proves the rule, in the way that Chloe did. Zara is actually very pretty, but in a real world way, and I hope this isn't the beginning and end of her acting career.
Saying that, even the strange looking ones suddenly get better looking, Bombhead for example.
Hollyoaks reached a high level of quality way back with Luccy hooked on drugs, pyscho Rob scaring everyone to death, and Carole (the fab Natalie Casey) livening things up. It's been downhill ever since though!
I used to love Hollyoaks but no longer watch the show. I miss the days of Ruth, Kurt, Jambo, Rob, Lucy. It was when the show was at it's best. Nowadays, the plots are drawn out for so long, you forget that it was interesting 12 months or so ago, when it first started. The majority of characters all look like supermodels. There is hardly any realism in the show - the exception being Bombhead and coping with the death of his Mum.
I do agree with them ever so slightly about there being too many oldies in the Street though but I don't mind them that much afterall they climb trees and stuff so it's all good

The old cast members are the ones who have made Corrie what it is and in most cases, their characters are ten times that of the young ones. Therefore, I think it is unfounded to complain about the older cast members of Corrie.

He really is! The acting is terrible most of the time, but the recent storyline with Bombhead was well worth wading through all the rubbish ones for.

And, funny enough, I speak with a Northern accent - not a bloody Southern one!
