Is Hollyoaks dead yet?
I stopped watching around 3 weeks ago and haven't regretted it. Since then I believe Carmel has gone, the guy who plays Dodger is leaving, and there is an upcoming "shock" storyline of Perry having Toms baby.
I see the drama never stops to draw in the younger audiences for Hollyoaks, but i'd be surprised if we saw this soap go on past 2015.

I know that everyone has different opinions, what one person likes another hates, but I can't see HOs being axed any time soon.
I'm about half and half with it, I wont quit watching it anytime soon, not while the Blakes are still around, but I do think they are going over the top with the drama without giving enough breathing time in between, plus all those pregnancies! |

The quality has certainly gotten worse but I haven't given up yet.
I'm sort of forcing myself at this stage just to see if any good eventually comes. If not, then I'm close to hanging the gloves. |

No because it's very lucrative in terms of targeting a demographic audience through its advertising, sponsorship and product placement deals. It's true, someone posted a link where c4 boasted about it being lucrative at targeting 15-35 year olds. Demographic targeting is a big tool in marketing.

It probably is dead, or getting there at least. I'm still watching but I've really no idea why.

If dead means has it lost its soul then yes.

I've not missed an episode in about 5 years but recently I just can't find the motivation to watch it.

The truth is Hollyoaks actually generates less advertising revenue that it once did. There is no multi million pound sponsorship deals and advertising revenue from selling airtime during commercial breaks is down from what it once was. Even the audience share for those in the 16-mid twenty age range is getting less than those over 35. Hollyoaks is tired, clichéd, and repetitive in plots. Any half decent commissioning editor would have axed it ages ago, unfortunately Channel 4 has Jay Hunt, a woman who couldn't organize a party in a brewers if she tried who is keeping Hollyoaks on air due to her incompetence. |

I've actually enjoyed the last few episodes with the Diane/Tony wedding. Nice to see Darren too.
No McQueens is fine by me. |

However I simply can't see where else there is for the show to go. Bryan Birkwood has sucked the life and soul out of it completely. There is just nothing left. Its just one big display of sillyness start to finish. |

Thing is with HO, it's on quite a lot & the quality has gone downhill, it's been showing on TV for a while now. |

Actually it isn't Hollyoaks target demographic is much narrower. The 16 to mid twenties. It was that demographic that was targeted by both the Nescafe and Wrigley sponsorship deals.
The truth is Hollyoaks actually generates less advertising revenue that it once did. There is no multi million pound sponsorship deals and advertising revenue from selling airtime during commercial breaks is down from what it once was.
