It's just not an interesting story, or one that hasn't been done a million times so I'm not sure why it's being treated as a fantastic storyline

I like Leela and Tegan (can't stand Ziggy!!) but they just need better storylines.

'Teggy' and 'Leggy' this is why I hate ship names and wish people would just stop making them up. It just sounds so stupid and infantile.

I haven't minded this storyline in the past but I think its already been dragged out far too long. The main problem with it is that Leela doesn't really seem to give much of a shit about Ziggy so it doesn't make much sense whatever way you look at it.

Leela getting worse and worse to make Tegan look better

Tegan blubbering and gurning like I don't even know what

Ziggy bleating "I love you Teeeeeeeeeeeegs"

and during the ad break, I will quietly bash my head until the pretty blood comes

What is the obsession with family love triangles. Ziggy / Tegan, Cindy / Jason , Robbie/ Holly and Freddie and Lindsey all running simultaneously. I doubt many viewers find this entertaining. It would make a nice change to see a couple remain loyal to each other instead of cheating and chasing after other people.

Three of the worst characters of current Hollyoaks, so of course BK is going to shove them down our throats whilst pushing characters we actually care for (which we're running thin on) to the sidelines. Love triangles are always unimaginative tosh and this is certainly no different.

While I don't mind Leela, I wish they'd give her something meaty, I loathe Tegan and Ziggy. The characters don't work together and I find it so unbelievable! It actually makes me want to switch off when I see 'Teggy' onscreen!

Basically, HO relies on the storyline to make the show popular with young girls, by allowing them to project onto Tegan and imagine a gorgeous guy choosing them over their perkier/thinner/more popular rival. But why, why, why, would anyone want to be like Tegan? The whole kidnapping storyline just goes to show that as well as being a nasty piece of work who smugly tries to take her sister's man, she's also a complete idiot ...

Is Leela more popular, though? They're both pretty terrible characters. It does annoy me though that we're clearly meant to think Tegan's lovely when she's really, really not. She's utterly stupid, was laughably gullible re Fraser, is selfish, repeatedly betrays her sister and was cruel enough to make Diane and Tony think Rose was really missing and could have been killed or god knows what. Much as I loathe Diane, that is despicable.

On top of everything else, it's hard enough to believe that one of these sisters would go for that dope Ziggy, never mind both.

More importantly, none of these three characters is interesting enough or appealing enough to base MONTHS of episodes on. Kirkwood seems to have a death wish.

I meant more popular as in has more friends, more outgoing, more at ease socially, etc. Tegan has said several times during the storyline that she thinks that people like Leela more and warm to Leela more easily. Tegan was never really shy or reserved before (especially when she was off chasing Fraser!) but they seem to have made her into more of an introvert so she fits the "underdog" role better

Any remaining vestiges of sympathy I had for Tegan went out the window when she left Rose with Scott - the very last person in Hollyoaks who should be entrusted with a child, and that's saying something!

Oh yeah, that makes a lot more sense with what you said! Silly me.
You're right really, we seem to be being told that Tegan's shy, quiet and anxious but that's not what we're seeing with her at all. A person who is really that way would probably never feel able to do some of the things she's done.

Berkwood really is an absolute joke. The man is so out of touch with what the fans actually want, it's laughable. His arrogance is astonishing too. He really thinks he the be all and end all of Hollyoaks.

Tegan kidnapping him from Leela and making Scott lock him in a flat for her own sexual pleasure?

Perhaps BK is stealing the plot from Stephen Kings Misery. This show has really run out of ideas so it turns to multiple l;ove triangles and squares.

Since when are Teegan and Ziggy popular?! And they are so utterly unbelievable and yes, as many people mention....it isn't even that Teegan is this loveable person! She isn't! They are more like best mates!

No offence to the actress who plays Tegan.

But in real life, Ziggy wouldn't go for Rump Roast (Tegan) when he has Filet Mignon (Leela)

I don't mind Ziggy. He's by far the least annoying of the show killing Roscoe clan, but only when they use him properly as a bit of comedy relief.

I also don't have anything against Tegan & Leela, although Tegan can be somewhat annoying.

But there is not one convincing thing about them all being in love. Not a spark of chemistry, nor anything in terms or acting of plotting to make us believe that it might happen.

Pushing it even more is ridiculous.

Between Tegan and Ziggy there is about half a brain cell between them so why the hell Berkwood thinks the viewers want to see more of them is beyond me. He must be looking at all the tweeney twitters

Sorry ... what's Teggy and Leggy?

And how is someone 'bringing up the wrong daughter'?

I did laugh at Berkwood's comment that he's so happy it's a hit with the viewers.
They always say that when it's something they want to drag on even if the viewers hate it! lol
