Is it just me or was this one the poorest move by the soap in years? I just can't warm to them. I think the male characters are ok, but the females are particularly awful - especially Ellie & Neeta. It's actually quite sad because they are other actors who struggle to find work that would be much more convincing than these two.

Do you think they have mileage in them, or should they be first to go on the annual Hollyoaks cull?

James has potential.

I don't mind Alfie, think he could have a place in the village. But the girl who plays Neeta doesn't seem like a very competent actor. I've seen better actors in unpaid theatre

I could watch David Easter and Lysette Anthony read the phone book, the rest of them can go.

I like Neeta, Alfie and Nathan (although he needs alot more development) . Ellie has potential.

Rachel is awful and Mac is never around and a very terrible landlord. Granted I've just started watching when the GHK was reveals I don't know what the Osbournes were lime there. Also the new ones were awful too.

I like Alfie. Whoever plays Neeta is a very poor actress but Neeta is so bad she's laughable and that makes her somewhat endearing.

Mac and The middle Son are ok.

I don't like Ellie and what I've seen of Marnie and James so far.

All this stuff with Cindy being Alfie's mother is really far fetched. So they met in Spain 15 years ago had a fling. Cindy got pregnant and Alfie was adopted. That is believable but why would they suddenly meet again after 14 years and get married. As they have history it obviously meant something, so I don't understand why they are trying to say it was because Cindy was ill. Also if Mac married Cindy, the mother of his child. Why didn't he just tell Cindy and Alfie the truth at that point?

I think they should have either left it as Cindy married Mac when she was not well and not add on the Alfie backstory. Or Have Cindy and Mac have had the fling and the Alfie story but no marriage 14 years later.

Cindy being ill would explain why Cindy acted as she did but there is no logic for Mac wanting to get married whatsoever I agree.

Are you being serious? The actor (and I use that term loosely) that plays Ellie is one of the weakest actors I have seen in a long time. Yes, she is very pretty but she doesn't portray the character as believable - it's actually as if she is taking the p**s

Exactly. The same goes for the actress who plays Neeta also.

I love Mac, deffo the strongest and best of the bunch.

Nathan and Rachel are ok, need some improvement but competent enough

Ellie & Neeta...weakest of the bunch, acting is just dire.

Marnie & James not seen enough to judge, son seems ok time will tell I guess.

Alfie babyish ways have toned down slightly but still find him annoying at times, unfortunately with all family you will have weak members.

I like Alfie, seems like a classic Hollyoaks character.
Nathan and Mac look very believable as father and son, Nathan and Alfie's brotherly relationship is good to watch.
Ellie is okay, I quite like her one liners and loved her fight with Cindy and calling her Kim Carcrashidan
Neeta seems like a new Carmel, again she isn't terrible.
The only one I don't like is Rachel, poor actress and a crap character so far.

Overall I like them, Alfie, Nathan and Ellie are probably my favorites.

It's a shame cos there are so many talented actors looking for jobs and then Hollyoaks casts these 2

Ellie has a nice body, so I don't really care if she can act or not! Being shallow like most on here!

Marnie is the worst of the bunch for me, wouldn't miss her if she never came back. Mac I',m not really a fan of, and the rest are okay.

Mac is ok, I really like Alfie now, the other boy is alright but I can't even remember his name and his finance is a bit meh....the older sister and Neeta are shockingly bad at acting! Hopefully Silas will figure out a reason to take them out!

Ellie is just horrendous. Honestly she has to be one of the worst characters/actresses I can rememebr on Hollyoaks (and I've watched since 2010 so this includes all those awful characters from that period who were axed a year later like The Sharpes, Noah etc etc etc etc!!!), there is just nothing redeemable about her and she wrecks every scene she's in. The rest are modtly passable (Neeta's actress is rather crap but she's likeable as a characer and ok to watch), it's just I don't care about them much and I'm bored of them being featured so much already! New characters, unless they're like the Carters in Eastenders who are all great, shouldn't be thrown in so quickly into so many scenes, because it's hard to care about new characters that much! I really like Alfie though, he's the only who's fitting into the village and the storylines he's in are interesting, the others I either just don't care or they feel really pointless. Plus at least Nathan is hot.

Marnie is brilliant... total bitch and loves it. Mac can get a bit too overactive. Alfie is settling in well. Neeta didn't get much time onscreen before she left. Maybe Ellie needs time?
