Hollyoaks storylines aren't believable enough
The "twincest" storyline for example - it's weird how they managed to meet a couple times and conceive a baby, then meet again and not even have an instinct of each other's existence. Even Patrick showed no recollection for his entire time on the show until a few weeks ago when he blurts it out.
It seems Hollyoaks always wants to take things that one set further. EastEnders does incest, Hollyoaks does twincest, Coronation does tram crash, Hollyoaks does train crash. Obviously it's not like Hollyoaks are spoiled for choice on storylines and soaps often do the odd few stunts that have already been done, but come on. You don't need to take it that far. |

But since Sienna found out Nico was alive and found her, it's all come crashing down which is believable as Sienna had no reason to think about her babies father until now. I actually remember when Sienna first arrived, there was a scene were Texas thought she was Dodger's new girlfriend and I remember it standing out to me as there was something more to it that was being hinted at.

It doesn't have to be real life, but the twincest angle is pushing it. I refuse to believe that Dodger is Nico's father. In my mind, it was some unnamed guy Sienna had a one-night-stand with.

You not actually trying to pretend this shambles was the plan from day one, are you? Lol.
I don't think it's competing with the other soaps but that now Brookside has gone it can make itself the shock soap. |

But then they do a u-turn from that and have her sleep with a random who turns out to be somebody she knew after all as they grew up together but were split at 7 years old.
I thought that the boy would turn out to be a fantasy excuse used to forget where the child really came from. And I definitely think the house was going to be the moment of reveal. |

Yet again, this rewriting of history that Hollyoaks has never believable rears its head. Yes, it has. It may have had its comic moments and then moments of soapy high drama (like ALL soap) but until last year, there was some semblance of characterisation, development and reality.
And the notion that this Dodger and Sienna plot was planned from day one is laughable! There wasn't even a baby plot right at the start until six months in and Dodger and Sienna suddenly aged 5 years out of the blue to make it possible for her to have been pregnant and have a grown child. |

The problem Hollyoaks have is that it has a young audience who want spoilers and indeed grew up with them. There is little left to shock or surprise so they have to come up with something unpredictable. Unfortunately this means them creating ridiculous contrivances.

It is absolutely ridiculous now, case in point the recent episode where Mercedes and Phoebe break Theresa out of prison and the absurdity of Sienna living in the same village as her victims let alone not having constant pysch meetings. I know they don't want the actress who plays Sienna to leave but at least make it so that it appears she is still getting help. |

I don't see why Sienna can't be put in a hospital and go on a break. Personally I would like for her to be cured because I preferred her when she was relatively sane.
lol
