Hollyoaks character axed ahead of their first scenes?
It looks like the upcoming Brendan Brady 'look-a-like' Sammy has been axed before he's even appeared on screens. All articles and pictures of him have been removed on DS and he doesn't appear in next weeks DS spoilers now. It looks like Hollyoaks bosses decided to get rid of him after many Stendan fans were angry at the decision to introduce a Brendan look-a-like.
It's a shame as I was interested to see where they were going to take his character and, as far as I know, he was only going to be a minor character. What does everyone else think? |

I was looking forward to seeing his character too and I bet that the axed scenes have only been replaced by more Freddie rubbish

The Stendan loons aren't that powerful.

If this has happened it proves Kirkwood spends too much time reading forums and not enough time producing the show. Fans should NEVER dictate the direction of the programme. No wonder things are so disjointed. People on sites like this are a tiny, tiny minority. While its fine to note their feedback it should never be acted on.

I would assume this would be common, just we wouldn't hear about it as much in other cases. We are aware as Ste fans clearly jumped on this story, often you see stuff on wave guide that you don't see in the show, with 6-8 weeks ahead story lines are fluid and may change if they can't see where it's going or when they edit it the story isn't what they want

It was a terrible idea in the first place, so I'm glad they realized it and decided to scrap it.

I feel sorry for the actor that was meant to be playing him.

This is when you know stuff is starting to go wrong. HO done this a lot in 2010 - they shot a tonne of episodes using Logan from HO Later then axed him and quickly drafted in Ethan (WHY?!?!) to replace him. They cut Mandy and Warren in to episodes days before they aired whihc had a ripple effect and ruined storylines for weeks on end.
They added Riley and Lindseys deaths days before they aired and Silas' return was added because scenes were removed. I guess it's the advantage of having an independent production but the stuff we get in its place is usually dire. The actor may be under contract and appear as something else though like when Lorettas child killer storyline was cut they had the actress play a crazy nurse for a few episodes. |

There's no way that BK gives a rats arse about the opinions of Brendan or Stendan fans, so whatever the reasons are for cutting the scenes, it'll be nothing to do with that.
Maybe he just realised it was a stupid gimmick that did nothing to service any of the plots, and thought better of it. Disappointing for the actor, I suppose, but he'll get paid regardless. |

They axe storylines and reshoot things a lot more than the other soaps; things like the fire week in 2010, most of summer 2012, and the Loretta storyline in 2009. |

Wait, so there was an uproar from Stendan fans because an actor looked like their 'hero' Brendan Brady? Good god, some people need to get a life it seems

Of course it is possible they have just reviewed the scenes and independently decided they didn't work or they have just postponed it. |

Yes, fans should never have that much power. If it is what has happened Kirkwood is on a slippery slope.
Of course it is possible they have just reviewed the scenes and independently decided they didn't work or they have just postponed it. I agree fans should not that much power, especially when the character in question was played by an actor who left the soap voluntarily. Sad for some fans I know but producers can't make decisions that way. |

Woah, hang on - where did the "it's the Stendan fans' fault" mob mentality come from? You do realise it was a minority of people that moaned and you know most of those awful Stendan fans were quite interested and saw the funny side.
Things are cut from episodes all the time for various issues. It looked like a minor 'comedy' plot within a episode focused on Nancy's rape. Maybe it wasn't deemed appropriate in tone. Maybe there's been a timing issue - too much to cram in. |

Exactly. People's opinion have nothing to do with it, imo. They decided to cut it because they decided to cut it.
