That's what they said about brookie around the time of it's anniversary. Under a year later, it was gone

I do believe it this time however. They aren't axing hollyoaks in the near future.

ITV said the same numerous times about The Bill in late 2009 and early 2010. Channel 4 said the same several times about Big Brother in early 2009.

I don't need to tell you what happened next in both of those examples, because you know. Anyway:

Channel 4's new chief creative officer Jay Hunt who takes office at the network next week
There's nothing stopping her walking into office and saying 'Hollyoaks goes off the air in December'.

Exactly, short-term, that's all we can do isn't it? Take one short-term at a time......cause in the long run, we're all dead

True, but she'd have to find something to replace it. They already have an entirely empty summer because of BB being cancelled. And an empty channel at E4 because of cancelling the endless Friends repeats. I'd say she's got enough to worry about.

Bloody hell, there was rumours it's being axed now, it's been confirmed that it's not been axed now - we can't worry about what might happen in the long-term, anything could be axed in the long-term!

Exactly cyrilandshirley. Hollyoaks is the only serial drama Channel 4 has, axeing that would be a big mistake because it's just not on once a year, it's on everyday! Like the article said, it's the only thing teenagers really have on that station, and true, it's the only Channel 4 sitcom I watch on a daily basis.

The dreaded vote of confidence its like a manager of a football club standing by his manager and then sacking them the next day.

However, a spokesperson for Hollyoaks' production firm Lime Pictures told Digital Spy this afternoon: "There is no link between Paul Marquess's departure and Jay Hunt's arrival. Paul Marquess agreed to a 12-month term.

Really i would say thats BS judging by his latest interview where he was planning stuff well into 2012 seems they're saying one thing and doing the complete opposite.

That interview was done in November. He probably didn't realise how quick the time had gone and that his stint was almost up!

Maybe he was just not offered a new contract? In my eyes that's not the equivalent to axing him.

Hope HO doesn't go off air in the near future, it's good at the moment

It's not really DS that isn't reliable - they can only report what they are told. The unreliability is the press offices of the major soap production companies. They can give out some pretty misleading stuff at times.

They copied that source from a newspaper rather than in this case getting it from the horses mouth, big difference.

Also it seems people are reading too much into this, PM looked to be planning for the future in hope that once his contract was up it would be renewed, they decided not to renew it. Don't see an issue here, PM was doing his job and Channel 4/Lime Pictures decided best for a new approach hardily a sign of axing something.

As to the muppets comparing this to BB and The Bill. BB was signed to 11 series, Channel 4 did not want to renew that and made clear up the last series. The Bill was in trouble for years before the axe and you could tell due to the change of timeslots, approach, storylines and so on (Basically doing a Brookie). None of that has happened to Hollyoaks, so I don't see where you can make the link. Furthermore they have signed with a new sponser for the next 12 months, ensuring that for those 12 months Hollyoaks wont be axed.

Channel 4 has many issues, axing Hollyoaks doesn't make it better it would make it worse and only a fool would do that without tackling the long list of wrong things with the channel (i.e. the big hole left by BB, Friends that Come Dine with Me cant fill)

Channel 4 gave themselves two years to replace Big Brother from announcing it being axed to them having to air it's replacement this year. Just because there is this "denial", it's premature to pre-empt what Jay Hunt will do when she takes over her new job. It is naive to think Hollyoaks is safe.

It's also naive to think that it isn't possible to replace Hollyoaks as it is. Just because it takes up a large part of Channel 4 and e4s scheduals there is only 2 and half hour a week of new episodes and the rest is repeats. That's not to hard a job to fill with a replacement.

And besides if they replace Hollyoaks with another drama series aimed at teens, then there is as much chance of it growing as Hollyoaks did. Afterall there was life before Hollyoaks, and there is life after programmes get axed as TV moves on.

Well the figures are still lower than what they should be, however they have been extremely consistent this week and fridays episode got 1.3 million so, people are not just switching off after one episode. The thing with brookie is the ratings were extremely lower compared to HO, around 200k sometimes.

LOL

You do realise that the Gazey contract article was reporting off the back off something else.

This is an exclusive from the Lime Press office... Big difference.

Also DS usually corrects any mistake in reporting.

Oh god, do you have to be so negative? We've just been told the soap's safe for now, isn't that enough? No-one knows long-term. But there's no point sitting about pointing out the negativities, or saying "Oh well, Hollyoaks might be axed in the future, may as well stop watching now!" You seem so negative and so......empty???
