So says Charlotte Bellamy!!

Is anyone else beyond embarrassed now by the actors and Stuart Blackburn's attempts to convince us and themselves that Marlon and Laurel are a remotely convincing and likeable/popular couple?! I literally had to grab a bowl when I read that quote by Charlotte incase I was sick!

I think the actors have developed Stockholm Syndrome where this story is concerned. They're the victims too

The only chemistry I see during this whole storyline is between John and Charlotte by far.

Very embarrassed for them and disgusted at the same time. All these quotes about Maurel being the love of each other's lives and having this amazing chemistry. Yuck. They have the opposite of chemistry.

What annoys me most is that Charlotte also said the majority of viewers want to see Marlon and Laurel together
If they want to delude themselves, fine, but they shouldn't be speaking for the 'majority of viewers', especially when it's a blatant lie about how the majority of us are feeling.

Yes this is what bugs me aswell! I can just about stomach what's supposedly their own personal feelings (prompted by SB!) regarding this story, but please don't try to pretend that the "majority" of viewers are enjoying it too, just because a few 'starstruck' fans are tweeting Mark Charnock about it!!

That's what I think as well, maybe we're both wrong. As characters Ashley and Laurel just work together.

How do you that the majority of viewers aren't please with it, DS does not represent the whole viewing public, whilst on here they might be hated never under estimate the GBP, I mean look at x factor winners

This is true and that's because there's was a slow-burner from the start and built up over the years, whereas Maurel's slapdash affair was dreamed up and thrown together overnight, therefore zero chemistry between the actors:yawn:!

The only views that we can know for certain are the views expressed

Perhaps there is some 'silent majority' that love Maurel- if that is the case they are very silent indeed


I knew Brendan Brady is a popular character on Hollyoaks because it was obvious from these forums ever before he won awards

They're over 45 and only use the Internet to buy stuff from Tesco and to Skype their feckless relatives in Australia.

The only good thing in that quote was that Laurel will be intimidated by Bernice's arrival due to Gabby favouring her. However, we're probably going to be forced to sympathise with Laurel's 'hell' at the hands of big bad bitch Bernice.

These are the kind of things which catch up tv was made for. She thinks chemistry, I think fast forward button and try to never read about this steamy romance on here, I did once and was later found digging a hole in the garden, not sure why rumour has it I was in a trance and crying, I can't remember it as I had my memory wiped, but people remind me often

If by 'amazing' they actually mean zilch, zip, nada, zero chemistry then I agree totally.
This is one of the worst pairings in soap history. And its not helped by having those 2 characters constantly rammed down our throats

She is a scruffy drip and he comes across as someone not quite right in the head. I wish the pair of em would move somewhere far far away Looking forward to Bernice coming back to put Laurel in her place!

I just hate them as a couple, before all this, I liked Laurel but think the producer has totally ruined her character now.
I have never liked Marlon.

I rememberMarlon buying his cottage when he first got married, I can also remember him sayng it was two bedroomed property so where are they all going to sleep?

Yes she is a scruffy drip, isn't she, that hair drives me mad - I don't like Rachel's dress sense, i.e. none, but at least her hair always looks neat. Laurel's is dreadful. Maybe she looks lovely IRL, I don't know.
