HO: Blessing Storyline
Is anyone else thinking this has been done well?
Having Dennis involved works well for me as i do like Joe Tracini i think he does comic and serious pretty well and Modupe Adeyeye who plays Blessing is doing a good job in my opinion. I just wish they hadn't made Finn a part of the story because as much as it makes it more shocking i feel he's more shoehorned in for shock value more than benefit to the story. |

I think it's been really well handled and the actress who plays Blessing is fantastic.
It's also proved Joe can do serious acting as well as frothy comedy bits. |

I really like this sl, so far they've done a good job and Joe and Modupe have proved themselves in this sl.

Not a big fan of either characters, but they are doing a great job with this storyline so far and my opinion is slowly changing.

I think Finn's involvement, along with his online viewing habits, are trying to highlight how he's evolving, crime-wise. I wouldn't be surprised if it is leading to him blending the two - extreme violence and rape - with a third (and hopefully final) attack on an actual girl he fancies.

That "I know what I want and how to get it" or wtte sounded like signposting a rape of someone he actually desires (as opposed to it being a pure act of violence, punishment and degradation) to me.
To Blssing herseld - yes I think it has been really, really well told. Both actors are really solid and I think the reactions are spot on. Of course Tony reacted better than Dennis - he's not in love with Blessing, sexually attracted to her, it doesn't have the same impact on his life (and what he thought his life was going to be with his new girlfriend) and it was a shock and must seem like a betrayal of trust. But...Deniis is a kind, reasonable man and he will come round. whether he feesl able to continue with the romantic, sexual side of their relationship remains to be seen and will be interesting to watch unfurl. It is head and shoulders above the Jason Costello storyline but then I suppose they are at different stages of the process - both physically and psychologically so that is perhaps to be expected. |

With Finn as soon as a girl is nice to him, he wants them. He doesn't see it as someone being friendly he actually thinks they are into him.

Modupe is amazing; I wasn't sure on her during her first few scenes but this story has been fantastic for her. There must be a reason why Finn is being put into this and I'm hoping it leads back to JP.

Best thing about Hollyoaks at the moment. Modupe has been a revelation. Makes me wonder why BK never brought her back to EastEnders after that E20 finished. Still she is perfect for this storyline. Hope Dennis comes round.

Dennis - love Joe, great comedy timing and good with the dramatic storylines.
Modupe - not a lot there - no sincerity Finn - interesting the way this story is turning. There's been a lot in the press recently abut the affects of porn on teenage boys and it looks like that's being picked up here |

If they had done this prior to the rape then his actions would have made more sense and not come out of thin air the way it seemed to. I wonder if Finn being a father at 13 is the root of the issue here. He was aware of sex from a very young age. I would say its caused some lasting damage on his sexual development and his understanding of sex. You could actually say he was a victim of sexual abuse. |

I usually watch Hollyoaks to be entertained and it's something I can detach from but last night when Blessing was attacked I was disturbed it, it was really well done.
I think it's good they involved Finn in this story because I guess it's a fear some transgender people have, that they will get abused for who they are or someone will find out and react horribly towards them. Blessing must have kept her guard up for a long time and Dennis finding out meant she let it down and became vulnerable, then it meant she made a stupid mistake with Finn who found out and now she's being attacked for it. I think it's quite a good storyline although I really hope she's not too upset by all of this as I love Blessing, she has so much strength and a good personality, very watchable. |
