I'm sorry I don't know if it's intended as a bit of fun but seriously?
Shagging a 17 year old? Really?
I could take her doing it once by mistake but to then embark on an affair with him... Really?

I'm afraid to say this storyline is pretty insulting to the viewers and stretches incredulity beyond breaking...
Finally, does anyone believe of the sexes were reversed the storyline would a)be allowed or b) be treated with the same levity.

A storyline fail in every respect.

Same thing happened a few years ago in Hollyoaks with the teacher and the schoolboy. And I think he was younger than 17.

They are making Vanessa into a creepy character, Her last story line was her stalking Rhona and supplying her drugs, then she seemed to just disapear and be background fodder and now she's back with another dubious story line
The current story is ridiculous I have yet to meet a 17 year old boy that looks like he is in his twenties, clearly the actor they are using is in his twenties so it just looks stupid and fake.

Vanessa and Kirin will probably get found out, very soon.

Then Vanessa will go back into the background.

I could get on board with it if there was an ounce of chemistry between the pair but there is NOTHING. NADA. ZERO. ZILCH! I usually like the character of Vanessa as well as Michelle Hardwick but this storyline is doing neither any favours. We had a similar storyline in 2012, did we not?, with Moira & Alex. What was the reaction to that on here?

Agreed. I'm not liking this storyline at all.

It was so predictable when Vanessa said she had slept with someone she met a club that it was going to be Rakesh's son who was yet to be seen. Exactly the same thing happened in Corrie a few weeks ago when Gary copped off with a girl on a night out and it turned out to be Kal's daughter who suddenly appeared on the cobbles the next day!

I do like Vanessa but this storyline is just ridiculous.

True that. He was (well is) hot, RIP (not the actor, obviously)

Yes. Poor DoomedHotScouser.

If only Cameron/JerseyBoy had killed Marlon, instead!

Or James. I know he wasn't invented at that time but seriously you could have taken a day trip JerseyBoi.

This sums up how I feel about it too. Vanessa deserves better characterisation and sls than she's had so far.

And the bloke playing Kirin has been hopelessly miscast and isn't even a sufficiently good actor to pull off the mannerisms and behaviour of a 17 year-old, let alone look like one.

I don't like that Vanessa one bit. A predator the likes of which the Dales has never seen before. I hear Noah is her next love interest, the saucy mare.

I say go Vanesssa he is over age of consent and age is just a number and I know some men who have much younger girlfriends/wife's and nobody seems to care.So why should it be different for a woman being with a younger man.

I doubt that any 17-year old could make himself out to be 24, like Kirin did. Of course the plot thickened as Nessa initially made him out to Leyla to be 30.

I doubt they can keep their relationship a secret for long. While I have seen a spoiler for next Friday, I had a feeling that Alicia would flirt at the bar with Kirin, and Leyla blurt out something like "David won't like you flirting with Kirin, and nor would Vanessa"!

This "17 year old" looks the same age as his dad. What nonsense this all is, especially with Pyria and her hammy acting yesterday.

I think it's funny, Vanessa is obviously still reeling from everything with Rhona... so she rebounds.

If you're trying to keep a romance a secret the very best course of action is banging on the sofa of the house you share with two other self-employed people who set their own itinerary and can come and go as they please.

Ludicrous.

She seems to be some kind of sexual predator who , when she gets an infatuation, will not let go until that person gives in to her demands,and them she like to hide her dirty little secret, really creepy character.

If this was a male character there would be uproar.
