Ok, I'll try to be positive. In no particular order:

1. Brendan Brady (+ Ste/Walker/Seamus Brady)
2. Silas Blissett
3. Jacqui marrying Rhys
4. Mitzeee - especially the Mitzeee/Mercedes stabbing
5. The murder of Lynsey by Dr Browning
6. Nancy marrying Darren
7. The 6th form group: Craig, Sarah, JP, Hannah and Nancy
8. Luke's rape
9. Death of baby Grace.
10. Claire coming between Max and OB

I also liked the student group (Zoe, Zak, Kris, Jess, Elliot) and Warren and Louise were a good doomed couple.

- Hollyoaks Later with Brendan and Walker = incredible.
- The (mostly) good continuity with JP and Finn - even now, 14 months on we're still hearing little bits about how JP is, which is good because I hate it when such big storylines are forgotten about.
- Jason's eating/body image storyline
- The redemption of Robbie after he found out about JP and Finn.
- Ste's children Leah and Lucas - so cute, great young actors, and good for continuity.
- Putting Grace and Trevor together.
- Bringing Harry back.
- Giving Esther some screen time (finally!) and putting her and Kim together.
- Extending the McQueens
- Giving Theresa a job (even if it does have to be with Patrick)


I do think HO does a lot of things wrong, but I've always said that when it's good, it's brilliant.

1. Stendan.
2. McDean
3. Hannah's eating disorder
4. Max/Clare/O.B
5. The Seamus/Brendan abuse storyline
6. Rhys and Jacqui.
7. Darren and Nancy.
8. Becca and Justin.
9. Mitzeee
10. Lynsey's death.

It's hard to choose just ten, there have been so many fantastic storylines and characters - Andy Holt/Sam Owen, Silas, Tony/Jacqui, Luke's rape, Toby Mills, Amy/Ste domestic violence storyline, baby Grace's death, the student group under BK's first stint, and Scott/Barney/Annalise. Too many to mention.

Erm I'm not sure I can come up with 10 but bad as it is at the moment HOs has done a lot right over the years.

1) Bringing Brendan Brady into my life and giving Emmett Scanlan his big break.
2) My Silas. And allowing him to use the phrase slurrisome tarts on national tv.
3)Jacqi McQueen and her fabulous crotch high boots.
4) The Luke rape, very hardhitting and moving.
5) Toby the serial killer.
6) Later, not always great but fascinating to see who swears. Could do without Theresa in her pants all the time.
7) Some of the stunts, the dog explosion and the minibus crash stand out.
8)Myra, sometimes.
9) Lovely Jack.
10) Warren the worlds worst gangster.

Well I did manage ten, oh I used to love this show, what have they done to my baby?

Oh I had totally forgotten the baby Grace thing that was very sad, as was Mandy being abused by her dad, they ruined her character in later years but she was very good at the beginning.

I also forgot Max and OB and the total legend that was Rob Hawthorne,

BIB - Ah yes. I didn't include Silas in my list, because I didn't love him as much as everyone else did, but you're right - 'slurrisome tarts' swings it. Also that really creepy scene in the Dog, where he was dressed as Santa and Texas was sitting on his knee, right after he had murdered her sister.

1. Mitzeee
2. Silas serial killer storyline
3. Hollyoaks Later 2011
4. Darren and Nancy (pre-Sienna)
5. Lynsey's death (just for how shocking it was)
6. Esther's bullying/suicide attempt
7. Sienna Blake at the beginning (I'm hopeful for some character development when she returns)
8. Warren Fox (I quite liked Warren/Mitzeee too)
9. Mercedes McQueen (Mitzeee vs Mercedes, Browning murder are highlights)
10. Mitzeee/Brendan friendship

I'm not even going to attempt the 10 things Hollyoaks shouldn't have done because my list would be far too long.
It's sad what the show has become.
