Is anyone else sick of this storyline already? Every scene with Carmel and Myra has been awful! Them to dinner scenes over the past 2 days have been worse than anything Lucy Allan ever did. Need to axe this storyline and bring in Jason

I love Myra, but I hate how they try and make Carmel funny, when she's just not anymore. I also find it hard to believe that SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD RILEY is marrying Mercedes...

He has to be younger than Jem though.

I wonder if Jem and Michaela will make the huge venture up from London to attend the occasion ?
Likely not
And yet this was Michaela who went all the way to Belfast to attend Mercedes' last wedding!

Why do people in Hollyoaks get married after going out for 3 weeks? and no one thinks its odd!
Mercedes has been married 3 times soon, completely ridiculous, her and Riley have about as much chemistry Chas n Dave and he knows she's the town slag?
Also, If he's suddenly supposed to be mid twenties, wouldn't he be too old to be an up and coming footballer?

I always thought he was 17 as well!! He looks so old to be 17 if that is the case!!

I thought Riley and Seth were meant to be Heidi's sons so how old is Heidi meant to be if Riley has been "aged" to his 20's?

About the scenes though, they are quite funny in my opinion!!

I think that too....that's a bit like the whole Darren/Nancy "engagement" - are they actually engaged or was it a joke at the wedding?

Mercedes just seems to jump from 1 marriage to the other - considering how devastated she was that Malachy died , she's got over it pretty quickly to consider she's engaged again!!

But mid 20s is too old to be an up and coming footballer. By that age he should already be playing regular league football.

It's ludicrous. But it's also boring. They're obviously not going to make it to the altar, but the worst thing is, who cares? Mercy and Riley say they 'love' each other, but they barely seem to get on. She's still grieving for Mal, and she's shagging Carl. He has no personality. The SL would only work if we were rooting for Mercy and Riley, or if we really liked Riley and wanted to see him open his eyes before he makes a massive mistake. As it is, it's just a snooze. Though I liked Myra's posh cake stand.

Come on, they've been going out longer than three weeks, I think!

Plenty of people have gotten engaged quicker than Riley & Mercedes did.

I couldnt disagree more, Im loving the scenes with the mcqueens and the costellos, Myra trying to be posh - Briliant comedy!

Agreed, this story doesn't work because i couldn't give two craps about either party and it's just made exponetially worse by the fact that she is shagging Carl too! Mal has only just died, I hate this slag and I'm sick of it. She has been a dirty tramp for like four years now, I'm over it. SILAS!!!!!!

Whoever came up with the idea for this storyline is a complete and utter moron. They had such great potential to change Mercedes after Mal's death. Make her stronger, more independent and less dependent on blokes, but no. She was distraught over Mal for two minutes (grief is not allowed in Chester apparently - just look at the Longfords!) and then the week after she was hopping in bed with Riley and having it off with his father on the side. There's no logic to this storyline.

It would have been more realistic if Mercedes was shown to be grieving - then as she started to get back to normal, she would fall for Riley and how she would cope with the guilt of it all. Mercy reverting to type, just doesn't make sense.

I totally agree with this!! Maybe we could have seen the softer side of Mercedes and make her a little bit less one dimensional but no, we get a couple of days of grief before she leaps into bed with someone!!

He was definitely seventeen when he came into it, they've just conveniently aged him He can drive now though can't he and he's not in school, which would put him around 19...He has to be younger than Jem.

I always thought he was 17 as well!! He looks so old to be 17 if that is the case!!

I thought Riley and Seth were meant to be Heidi's sons so how old is Heidi meant to be if Riley has been "aged" to his 20's?
About the scenes though, they are quite funny in my opinion!!
I always thought Heidi was meant to be in her 30s, Kim Tiddy is 33 and there's no way she looks any older than that. Unless Carl is meant to be a lot older than her.


But mid 20s is too old to be an up and coming footballer. By that age he should already be playing regular league football.

Totallly hate what they've done with Mercedes, the Carl/Riley thing is ridiculous and they could have done a lot with her after Malachy, whcih seems to have been forgotten
