Are there too many gay/lesbian characters in Hollyoaks at the moment?
At the moment we have...
Doug Ste John Paul Vincent George Tilly Esther A new gay character called Danny is arriving. Jen and Brendan have not long since left the show too. I've seen a few people comment on recent threads about how there are a few too many gay or lesbian characters in the current cast list, do you agree? |

From a cast of 50, two lesbians is normal. I do think George, Vincent & 'new camp' Doug need to be axed

I liked George when him and Esther went to that London for the fashion stuff. He's not done much since. He should have been more involved during Esther's bullying.

I don't think it really matters: none of them are defined by their sexuality. They're characters that just happen to be gay.

I like the fact it characters are well rounded and isn't just about there sexuality but I would say there is enough for now and I hope they don't turn another character gay just for a storyline its lazy.

I don't think there's too many but they could do with getting rid of some of that list simply because they're rubbish characters, and bring in some better ones. I'd only keep Ste, Esther and at a push JP and Tilly on there.

No. It's refreshing to see a show where there's not a lack of representation for gay people.

No it doesn't bother me at all. I said I had noticed people commenting on there being too many gay or lesbian characters and asked if anyone agreed. It was a simple question and I was interested on peoples views on the subject
do you think theres too many blond people in it? do you think theres too many black people in it? do you think theres too many people that wear shorts? |

If there are too many gay characters, then there is a ridiculous amount of straight characters.
Should they be gotten rid off because of their sexuality as well? |

Out all of them the only one that for me isnt (sadly) serving a real purpose now is Doug, the rest I would say are and have a role to play within the show and that at the end of the day is what matters.

I say get rid of Doug first and foremost. The character and actor (have you seen PJ's Twatter?) have overstayed their welcome. Next, I say deport Vincent. Have George kill himself for being insufferable, then send Ste off to find Brenda, or something.
Then, we can focus on JP's hot new tryst. The only gay story worth tuning in for. ![]() As for Esther/Tilly? They can stay. |

Hollyoaks/Chester where they all live is a place where youngersters are based - mostly young community so i assume you will see more gay characters then a in place like Emmerdale village or EE Albert Square lol
