She's a pretty 'marmite' character, she's central to HO and many of it's plots and personally I think she's an interesting character but some just think she's irritating.

She obviously has her nasty, ruthless side but I never considered her a villian as she has a heart. However in tonight's E4 she was responsible for 2 people's deaths (Clare's accidental) so I'm not sure where she is going from here.

However, I still reckon she's a brilliant character and easily one of HO's main characters.

What do you think of Mercy?

Will you do a poll? Will be interesting. Anyway I like her and I can't imagine the show without her to be honest.

She has a lot of sides too her and the Jen is very capable of playing all of them. I like mercy, I think she's probably one of the best of the cast.

Ah sorry, too late to do a poll, the option's not there now

The fact they've made her a murdered reinvigorates my belief she'll leave next year.

I can see why people hate her though.

I just find her constant 'getting away with everything/never learning from her mistakes/blaming other people for the mess she causes' irritating and I'm fed up of her.
However she's a good actress, I think the character needs a break.

She is a brilliant character and IS Hollyoaks. I posted this on a thread yesterday-

Obviously she comes across as a bitch, a slut, careless, un-remorseful and plain spiteful on screen but she is complex. When she first arrived in the show, she was simply a slut. All she did was sleep around, cheat, get married, lie to men e.t.c. Back then it was because of the way she was raised by her Myra. She witnessed all the men, children e.t.c that Myra had and out of all the children, she took after her mother the most. But the whole slutty thing did get tiring, that's true, that's why she went down a new route with the Silas thing. Being trapped up by Silas left psychopathic thoughts in her head, she was more disturbing, hence the stabbing herself and not leaving Browning. She also felt as if she needed to fight more and as if everything was a struggle. She wasn't prepared to let Mitzeee take Riley, so she fought her by going to drastic lengths. Yet throughout all of this, all Mercedes has wanted is to be loved and understood, especially after Silas. That's why she clung on to Browning, because she believed he loved her and that's what she wanted. She has many levels to her and could go on for years and years. I'd definitely say she's the heart of Hollyoaks.

The trouble is with Mercedes is she's been going round in circles for years. She is a good character and a great actress, but it's the same plots over and over again. Although of course some people never change they had the opportunity to take her in a different direction after Malachy died and it soon went back to being same old same old.

She WAS going round in circles from 2008-2010. She's gone to a new level since being tortured by Silas and has become a better character.

She was good, the actress is capable but they've taken it too far now.

The character never evolves.

Personally with Theresa going I'd write the remain McQueen women out too (whether long or short term) and have them all sentenced for their part in Calvin's murder and the subsequent cover up.

Then next year have Hollyoaks Later: McQueen's Behind Bars.
