I dont rate the lovedays highly at all
I find them annoying

Ziggy is the only decent Roscoe.

As much as I wish the family would leave, he can stay.

This story kidnapping Rose ridiculous, Tegan been throw allot losing her parents, her cancer, her daughter switched at birth and worried Diane would try take the daughter she raised since birth. Tegan shouldn't of been apart of this silly kidnapping story, the way Diane do anything to take Rose from Tegan it should of been her behind this kidnapping not Tegan.

Same. I think the Simone actress is good but not the other two, and I don't like the characters at all.

Tegan did it because she was scared that Diane would get custody of Rose. Diane feels no need to do this, as she arrogantly believes social services would just give her Rose ...

I don't want to see Diane going the village with the three kids showing off telling everyone she's a better person, saying she's wonderful mother and perfect parent. As if she's a great mother Diane such a bad mum protecting her nasty bullying daughter Sinead and her rapist son Finn.

I care very little for her as well, its very odd how they think we should adore them

I feel the same, I've not warmed to them.

A lot of people like them, but I've actually not got any real interest in the Lisa storyline at the moment. Maybe that will change, who knows, but at the moment it bores me.

Since BK been back on hollyoaks I think the only decent characters he made Blessing, Dylan, Trevor, Grace, Patrick and Sienna.

Patrick & Sienna & their storyline going in circles has ruined them. I also hate Grace's fling with Kim coming out of nowhere.

Kim never looked like a nutcase when she come to hollyoaks she can be a decent character they should use Kim in better story's but this thing with Grace has to end getting silly. There were other things they could of done with Patrick & Sienna but they keep making them villians

Everyone have a nice weekend and enjoy next weeks hollyoaks.

Marianne have a great weekend, enjoy your shows and movies.

Evening / morning folks
Are any of you lovely lot still around? I'm a bit fed up at the moment. Maybe I'll make a weekend thread up

I thought today's episode wasn't too bad. The Loveday bits were good, and the rest was OK, obviously with the exception of Scott (that scene with the policeman was vile) and Ziggy being an absolute bellend as usual. Though I'm glad the Rose saga is over. (But Rose is always a delight to see, she's such a little cutie.) The Cleo and Pete story is interesting still, even if boring Harry is involved. Hopefully, when the truth is revealed there should be some serious fallout happening within the McQueens.

Tegan and Diane issue could've finished then and there : Tegan says Diane:" If you start to fight for Rose, I'll start to fight for Dee Dee." Done. But it won't make a storyline, so it had to go in the stupidest way possible .
They could've tried also start legal battle, too. Of course in real life any lawyer would advices agaist it ( even Mr King adviced Diane to not go there), but it's Hollyoaks .

Your response explains perfectly why this story still has a reason to be told. For viewers to still believe things like this are based on physical attraction and sexual desire shows how much awareness is needed.

I also agree that Cleo is having doubts but is playing a dangerous game in order to keep her Mum happy. She thinks she can handle Pete but I doubt that will be the case.

Pete is a master of manipulation. He flips from being intimidatingly sinister to generous and loving.

I know Karl Collins has his knockers but I tell you what I appreciate is an actor who throws himself into the role and isn't a robot reading lines. Actors in soap struggle to show emotion in even the saddest times like funerals. For him to get himself so worked up for those scenes was impressive. Even Duayne Boachie is beginning to show some depth. That family has so many emotional scenes they must be drained by the end of the day.

In contrast I find Parry Glasspool and James Fletcher disappointingly dull to watch.
