I am very impressed. You know all the actor's names.

Do't you hate when someone people come on threads just to be dismissive? Then again, if it makes them feel better....

Ok, best atm are Ashley Taylor Dawson, Jennifer Metcalfe, Claire Cooper and I'm one who really roots for Paul Opacic! Jeff Rawle, Rachel Shenton, Emmett Scanlan (Marquess did really well bringing in those two)....

Worst are Law Thompson, that one who plays Liberty, Anthony Quinlan and I think Sikander Malik......


Tbh, I agree with most of your opinions, apart from one - I think Jazmine Franks is alright! She's good for her age! She's just not repeating out her learned off lines

Kieron RIchardson, Emmett Scanlan, Jessica Fox, Claire Cooper and Ashley Taylor Dawson are brilliant.

The worst is by far the one who plays Liberty

Forgot all about Liberty and as for Paul Opacic he's really becoming one of the strongest actors on the show. He started slow but is really improving

She really is a new low, you see more convincing acting in your average primary school play. The "confrontation scene" with Ethan and Theresa....

Of the regular cast: Emmett, Kieron, Ashley TD, Claire and Jessica always impress.

Rachel Shenton is also very good, as is Ashley SD, when given the chance to prove it. Jen Metcalfe, I'm also a big fan of. Love Bronagh too but she needs a big story.

He's not a regular cast member but Jeff Rawle - amazing, no two ways about it. Fantastic actor and a real coup for the show.

On the other hand:

I'm not sure of some of the actor's names but Liberty, Anthony Quinlan, the Costello sons, Law Thompson (Noah), Texas - all do very little for me.

All those guys who live in the flat are truly awful. Noah, Doug, Riley & Ethan. Some of the casting choices there are just baffling. I'm sure they could've found some prettier people with better acting skills than those four spuds.

He's finally coming into his own element now, he seemed to be overshadowed in the last era.

Liberty...well maybe it's nerves

Hollyoaks' version of the Likely Lads, it's not working. Riley and Ethan becoming best buddies in the space of 2 eps...but Riley in particular comes across a poor man's Rhys Ashworth.

The best are Claire Cooper, Jessica Fox, Emmett Scanlan, Ashley Taylor Dawson, Rachel Shenton, Kieron Richardson, Bronagh Waugh, Paul Opicic, Suzanne Hall and Alice Barlow.

(Those who are saying Esther is bad is a little baffling, she's played by a capable actress IMO.)

Then you have the really bad ones.. Anthony Quinlan, Miles Higson, who ever plays Ethan, Jessica Forrest, Anna Shaffer (Who I hope will improve..)

But they can be thankful that they are not in the same category as that Abi girl who plays Liberty. Worst ever...

No way! Rhys is a drummer, Riley's a footballer - big difference! People would laugh at Rhys trying to play football or Riley having any musical bone in his body!


And from Ethan's very first episode, he was mentioned as Riley's friend. They met later in the police station, where they talked, and later in The Dog, so I don't think it was sprung on us.

Sorry but IMO if not directly Riley's a rehash of Rhys. He's a walking STI like when Rhys was sleeping with Sarah Barnes and her mum, think he's gods gift to women (Rhys seems to have been tamed now though), deluded with his football 'talent' like Rhys was with this studies and drumming, meddles in his family's life like how Rhys used to put down Suzanne alot and criticize Josh, essentially quite selfish like Rhys was in the early days...

Being best friends all of a sudden felt very rushed, I'd have liked seeing them on the phone to one another first or even a mention of Ethan before his arrival.
