Can anyone think of any storylines that they haven't done. Because they have done a lot of storylines that other soaps haven't. So, can you think of any?:)

    Giving characters over the age of 35 a decent thought out storyline?

    I don't know if this has happened prior to 2007 as that is when I started watching HO, but has there ever been a shooting at the school/sixth form?

    With the new EP hellbent on giving us as much teen time as possible, it could be a good storyline if a member of the sixth form just snapped after a build up of issues at home or school and went to college and pulled a gun out on other students. I know it's a horrible situation in reality, and that it has happened before over the years, but it could also be a way to get rid of some dead wood characters?

    Actually love that idea:p So that way most of them could be killed off and the student who shot them would be sent to prison for a looong time:D:D:D

    I'd be all for that but I doubt any of the teens would go and do something like that. It would have to be a new character or perhaps Phoebe?

    I was thinking a new student. If it was left until September then the sixth form would be getting a new set of first years, including Esther and Ruby, so one of the new first years could do it. That way the current teens would still be there. I must say now though that Callum, Tilly and George cannot be fatally injured :D

    They havev a death character coming in.

    Thinking back they've done...
    Domestic violence (Mandy & Tony, Amy & Ste, Ste & Brendan)
    Male Rape (Luke)
    Parental abuse (Mandy)
    Incest (Kate & whoever her brother was, Beth & Rhys)
    Meningitis (Jess)
    Coming Out (Gina, Craig, John Paul, Sarah, Ste, Brendan, Texas, Baz FM)
    Luekemia/Cancer (Dawn, Steph, Russ)
    Miscarriage (Frankie)
    Rape (Dannii, The Twins, Nancy, Beth Morgan, Jacqui)
    SIDS (Baby Grace)
    Stalkers (Maddie [90's Maddie])
    Arson (Claire, Dom)
    Mental illness (Will, Newt, Kathy)
    Sleeping with a friends parent (Dawn and Jack, Zoe and Mike)
    Sleeping with a partners parent (Rhys and Kathy, Carl and Mercedes)
    Drug addiction (Lucy, Fletch, Sasha)
    Being paralysed (Adam)
    Eating disorder (Hannah)
    OCD (Cameron)
    Fake death (Jack)
    Suicide (Lewis)
    Murder (Um, everyone thats not left in a taxi)
    Serial killers (Toby, Silas, Warren)
    Teen pregnancy (Cindy, Amy, Theresa, Amber)
    Bankrupsy (Tony, Cindy)
    Homelessness (Norman, George)
    Bullying (Lisa, Esther)
    Self Harming (Lisa, Jason)
    Transgender (Jason)
    Teacher/Student affair (Justin and Becca)
    Learning difficulties (Ruby)
    Autism (Spencer)

    I am not classing the stunts as storylines though they do like a good explosion/fire from...
    The bus explosion (1999)
    The first fire at the loft (2002)
    The dog explosion (2006)
    The second fire at the loft (2009)
    The crappy Il Gnosh fire (2010)

    I'd like to see them tackle a teen dealing with having gay parents, Alzheimers (would be great for Frankie), a cancer storyline where we see them ill not just see them faint a couple of times then die.

    Paedophilia?
    Also they should do a killing by self defence I.e. Robber breaks in, brings out a knife and gets whacked in self defence

    There was a paedophilia storyline with Simon the swimming instructor being accused by Gilly. And Mandy's father abusing her counts I think too - I seem to remember he raped her?

    there is a bbc Northern irish program called six degrees, which is a bit like a belfast version of hollyoaks. They are doing a storyline with a student coping with thier parents alcoholism, which could be one for the oaks to do
