I love Hollyoaks and think that it has been so much better since Paul Marguess took over but seriously what was he thinking with Ethan and Liberty, I've never seen two worse actors. Ethan's facial expressions are just plain annoying and every time he tries to act emotion is just laughable, whilst Liberty seems like she is just reading lines like on a school play. It's not as if either of there characters are interesting either i couldnt care aless about there engagement
I'm also confused about the ages of them both, in this weeks eps Liberty has mentioned about being at school which must make her no older than 18 which means there has to be a big age gap between her and Ethan as even by Hollyoaks standards there is no way Ethan can be a 18 or 19 year old Detective. I just hope Liberty gets silased soon as I really cant stand her and then hopefully Ethan leaves
I actually dont mind the rest of Liberty's family from what we have seen so far but I do agree that to many new characters are being introduced at once, we need to see more of Doug, Jamil, Diane and less of Ethan, Liberty and the equally annoying Ruby who is just an utter bitch and not even a good looking one at that.

2 words: Beth Clements. She was so wooden and only spoke in 1 tone, I've seen more reactions from trees. I was suprised because she was good in drop dead gorgeous.

I like Liberty's singing but that's about it.

I like Ethan.

I didnt notice her being that bad, maybe because she was working with better actors in Andy Moss and Anthony Quinlan that it wasnt as noticeable.

Abi Phillips has a great singing voice, but she's not a very good actress. As for Craig Vye, I just find him really unconvincing - and his back story doesn't help. He has an eighteen year old girlfriend (she's in sixth form not even a Uni student), hangs about with Riley (meant to be 19), Noah and Doug who are in their early twenties, but is a high ranking police officer? Something doesn't add up.

Liberty is just a waste of space. They obviously created the role to get some publicity off the back of the girl's singing career (if she has one), but she makes no sense. The Calvin murder is more than enough to keep Ethan and Theresa apart as doomed lovers. Liberty really is a plank - she just stands and blankly reads the words, and when she tries to put emotion into her voice, it's even more painful.

Ethan isn't the greatest, but they haven't helped his character by giving him a schoolgirl bride, which is frankly icky, as he must be 25 minimum. He's not too bad when he's with Theresa. But if I'm honest, they should have ended the Ethan/Theresa thing after the Kyle kidnap, when he decided he couldn't be with her. Now, it just feels like they're dragging it out endlessly.

So Ethan is getting married to a 18-19 yr old and is best mates with a 19th yr old.
Hollyoaks didnt think this through, why make him a detective and not just a a PC.

Ethan's fine - there are worse actors on the show than him. Liberty is the worst actress, worse than the actresses who played Beth and Katy combined .

Liberty's absolutely awful but Ethan's fine, it's Ruby who gets me! "gets silased soon" love it.
I think Ethan is meant to be about 20, which is amazing as he is a detective

I actually quite like Ethan, although they've really messed up with his age. Liberty, on the other hand, is pretty dire, and I cringe whenever I see her on screen. One word: Silas.

I don't mind Ethan but Liberty really is terrible. It looks as if she's sticking around too seeing as her family's been introduced.

It's Ruby who makes me cringe the most though, she makes me want to throw something at the telly. I think it's the character as well as the acting, awful!

Liberty's voice really irritates me.

PLEASE HO let Silas get Liberty!

I couldn't make out where Liberty was from when she first joined. She sound like she was from Birmingham, but clearly she is from down south as the rest of the savage family have cockney accents.

I can't take to the new Savage family yet.

Liberty is beyond bad - where the hell did they get her from?

Ethan's acting isn't bad in comparison & he's easy on the eye, so I don't complain!

I just think Hollyoaks need to be a bit more realistic in terms of age...

Ethan must be in his mid-late 20's if he is a detective and Liberty is in her late teens.

And then we got Riley who is 19! I always thought he was 23-24 until his birthday recently.

I don't think its a case of being bad I think as usually the case with HO they are miscast in the wrong role.

Riley looks 26 yet is supposed to be 19. Its damn right silly casting.

Liberty definitely makes the ever growing list of "those who can't and really shouldn't". Ethan is just miscast, Craig Vye isn't a bad actor and would have been better cast as a student than a police officer.

The guy who plays Ethan is actually 28 this year, he just doesn't look it on screen.
