So obviously there's a lot of talk on the main forum about what people would and wouldn't do with HO. Everytime there's a big "we hate HO" era on here (every 2 years or so) I like to have a crack at where I'd go so I will do 'waveguide' size episodes for each weeks starting Monday October 6th.

All announced/known exits will be honoured and all current stories will exist and be dealth with/fixed how I would wish to do so. All announced characters and returns are void so this is my cast list

* Temporary exit

Sounds interesting. LOVE the new students- lots of potential, but massively disappointed with some of the departures as I think there are some good stories and characters wasted.

I shall be following avidly.

I can see why with some of the exits. I wouldn't have chosen Dennis, Mercedes, Carmel to leave and some of the other exits aren't permanent but I think you'll like the stories planned. Anyway, here is week one

Monday October 6 2014

Freshers Nina, Dougie, Lucy and Ross are recovering from the SU Freshers ball in 'Magic Bean'. As they discuss how Ross got into the college based on his portfolio after failing his exams Esther is inspired to give it a go but what will she do with the 'Magic Bean'?

Meanwhile, John Paul visits Diane to offer his forgiveness but Myra isn't so forgiving and continues to attack Diane. Sinead and Tonys involvement gets to Ste who struggles to stay off drugs with all the important people in his life fighting.

As Darren returns to his old flat he continues to form a bond with Robbie who is growing ever tired of Rick and Freddies ways. Darren takes over the running of 'Magic Bean' and asks Robbie to join him.

Tuesday October 7 2014

Grace is less than impressed at discovering that Esther has handed the batton over to Darren and Robbie but will Robbies ability to talk himself out of trouble bode well for the brothers?

Esther prepares to start college and is instantly welcomed to the group after shooting down Dougies drunk advances in a hilarious fashion. Sinead tells Esther that she wishes she had done things differently as the anniversary of the bus crash approaches.

The McQueens recieve a note saying 'I know what you did' causing panic in the ranks as they're forced to confess to John Paul what has happened. As they clear up his things Carmel comes across files in Sonny's room that could see Theresa released but will she tell her family?

Wednesday October 8 2014

Nancy is shocked at how quickly Darren appears to be moving in but Robbie tells her he is struggling to keep himself afloat and asks her to leave him alone so that he can heal. The boys decide to give 'Magic Bean' a new lease of life and organise a student bar crawl but when it ends in ''The Loft' they're forced to hand their earnings over. On the crawl Lucy makes her interests in Esther known.

Diane tells Tony that she needs to get away from the village and wants them to start fresh but when Harry arrives after his Mum kicked him out Tony refuses. Getting the wrong idea after she sees Sinead putting cash into the till at ''The Hutch" a devastated Diane leaves her family a note and flees the village with the twins as they sleep.

Meanwhile, Carmel is shocked to see that Sonny's credit card has been charging to a local B&B but when she and Mercedes go to investigate, nobody is there.


Thursday October 9 2014

It's good news for Grace and Trevor as they recieve word that 'Big Bob' has been killed in a drug siege on one of his properties but does this mean that Esther and Darren are off the hook? Ready for a quieter life Grace suggests to Trevor that they swap 'The Loft' for the 'Magic Bean' but Trevor isn't going to let things sail so smoothly.

Mercedes turns to Freddie to help find out where Sonny is and what he's up to but there's bigger distractions ahead as she recieves a call that Theresa is at the hospital - she's gone into labour. Freddie begins searching for Sonny and finds him a bit too easily as it turns out Sonny has hired Freddie to stalk the McQueens for him.

Blessing is feeling more alienated than ever as the new students bond with Esther and even take to helping Tegan out with Rose. Another night of drinking leads to Dougie needing his stomach pumped.

Friday October 10 2014

John Paul and Nancy are desperate to move on with their lives and when news of Dianes exit from the village reaches them the old friends decided it's time for a fresh start but as they go about planning a holiday for themselves and the kids, Nancy becomes continuously irrate and as the pair argue she collapses.

Meanwhile, Dodger is attending a check-up with Maxine when he sees Theresa being carted into the delivery room and she tells him that she is having his baby. The McQueens gather at the hospital and Freddie reports to Sonny that they're planning on doing a runner with Theresa. Sonny convinces Freddie to rob the hospital of its drugs but he has a secret agenda - an irrate Sonny barracades the exits of the hospital and vows revenge on the McQueens.

With Lindsey, Carmel, Theresa, Maxine, Dodger, Mercedes, Esther, Dougie, Lucy, Ross, Nancy and John Paul inside it's a crisis like no other.

Outside the hospital Darren arrives after recieving a message from John-Paul. Grace and Trevor tell him what's happening as the police arrive.

A furious Sonny shoots a bullet into one of the electric supplies and cuts the power to one of the floors. Screaming to Carmel to surrender Theresa and telling them that if they don't hand themselves in they'll be killed.

A nurse tells them that the power generator is on the level before the roof and the swat team begin making their way up there. Mercedes and Freddie try to help Lindsey through her labour but she's losing a lot of blood and with the hospital on lock down nobody can help her.

Trevor gets Esther and the students to safety and unwittingly ends up on the same floor as Carmel, Theresa and Sonny. As Sonny torments the girls who are trying their best to hide, Trevor antagonises him as means of a distraction whilst the swat team are on a wild goose chase to the roof. As fires ring out the girls make a run for it but Sonny takes his aim. The swat team respond rapidly and as the power comes back on they take Sonny down.

As Sonny falls to the floor he is stunned to see Theresa covered in blood as she holds Carmel in her arms.

Knowing that she is dying a weak Lindsey tells Mercedes to tell Joe that she's sorry and to look after their little girl. Lindsey dies. A nurse calls code blue but they are unable to revive her.

A distraught Mercedes is unable to leave the floor for hours until the hospital is secured as soon as everything is cleared Myra, Phoebe and John Paul rush to Mercedes to ask if she's seen the girls. Theresa is passing with the police and tells them what's happened. Dodger is quite literally left holding the baby as The McQueens are told that Carmel has is in a critical state and is unlikely to survive.

Liberty <3

Poor Lindsey.

Very dramatic. I like the pairing of Robbie and Darren. Finally so merit behind them being brothers.

Gutted for Lindsey.

Brilliant. You clearly know Hollyoaks inside out.

Devastated to hear that Nancy is leaving, though. All of the other exits are much-needed for the show to move forward.

MONDAY 20 OCTOBER

Carmel remains in a critical condition as John Paul begs Nana to tell the family the truth about her illness before it gets worse. Mercedes returns from the airport having taken Jacqui back under cover (She does not appear onscreen).

Ross is still incredibly shaken from the ordeal at the hospital and struggles to focus on his studies. He finds a friend in Phoebe when he visits with flowers for Carmel. Holly turns to Esther as she realises that she never dealt with what happened on their trip but Esther has more on her mind when she discovers her cousin Carley is attending HCC.

The McQueens reminisce about Carmel and begin talking about the regrets they have for the way they've treated her. Myra is angry that they're talking as if she is dead and Mercedes pleads with god to take her instead as the guilt of Brownings murder takes over - is she about to reveal all?

WEDNESDAY 22 OCTOBER

Frankie and Jack are stunned to learn that Esther "just vanished" after her Dad's funeral and nobody knew where she was except for a brief letter saying she was okay. Carley tells her that her step-brother 'lost it' when he thought she was dead. Esther has a lot of explaining to do especially when Frankie questions where she got the £50,000 from.

Within hours Carmels state returns to that of the previous day and she is completely comatose. Myra is insistant that they keep her alive and that she will get better but Mercedes takes it out of her hands and has both Michaela and John Pauls backing that they've let her suffer enough in her life.
