Over the past few episodes (E4 pace), there's been a few scenes of Nico showing a kind of obsession to Peri (there was a scene on Monday's E4 I think it was where she touched her hair and kind of stared at her, and then there was a few more scenes including tonight where she said they were soul-mates and that she was all hers). Does anyone else think Nico's going to turn into a lesbian overnight, or develop some kind of obsession with Peri? It's not exactly out-of-character for Hollyoaks to turn a character gay overnight...

I thought it'd just be an obsession until the lingering look when she stroked her hair and the line about soul-mates tonight, which is making me think Nico's developed a crush on her?

It'd be nice to hear others' opinions, maybe I'm just looking into it too much

Obsession, definitely not a crush imo. Knowing Nico, someone is going to end up dead. I can see Tom being her next target once he returns especially if him and Peri start to get closer.

I just Nico to get caught and be punished, also she needs to stay well away from Jade/Alfie, I love them.

I was hoping Peri would grass on Nico, but that'd be too quick. I honestly thought Nico was going to try and smother Peri in the final scenes. Would it be such a bad thing if Tom were to be killed? I know he's a long-standing character, but he's not the best actor and his character gets on my nerves.

I love Alfie/Jade too, I hope there isn't a twist and Alfie dies from the cancer - I wouldn't imagine so considering Rachel has not long died, but knowing Hollyoaks they'd still probably do it!

It was just typical that Kirkwood had peri unconscious while Nico confessed so he could no doubt drag it out more

Idc for Tom as well and I thought she was going to suffocate Peri as well like she did with Patrick.

I don't want a twist for Jade/Alfie, they are a cute couple with no annoying 'drama' which is rare to have. I hope Alfie beats cancer and they are a happy couple..but knowing Oaks one of then will suddenly decide to cheat or one will die

I'd hope that the fact that Alfie refused to cheat with Peri is a sign that Alfie wouldn't cheat, but knowing Hollyoaks that'll be forgotten.

Yeah, I was getting Patrick vibes from the scene, which is why I thought it'd end with Nico suffocating Peri. I generally like Peri, but I don't like the nasty Peri we're seeing at the moment - I preferred her a lot more when she grassed Nico up and tried to be nice to Jade.

Agreed.

Nico just needs to be found out then killed off. No "she should suffer for her crimes by going to prison, death is the easy way out" nonsense for her.

Agreed. I don't think it helps that Persephone (Nico) is not really the best actor (is that being too kind?), which just makes the storyline all the more dragged-out and tedious!

Nico gives me the chilly willies.

Nico needs to die. So sick of the character and let's face it she isn't exactly the leave in a taxi character.

I was hoping Nico would kill Peri but you could be right Nico could develop feelings for her. I can't see Nico killing Tom though, I think Nico is living on borrowed time and that Sienna is going to end up killing Nico.

Too easy. She needs to suffer before she dies.

I just hope her inevitable comeuppance (so I say, although it's probably a million years off!) doesn't result in the departure of Sienna, who I absolutely love!

There have been moments this week when we have wondered whether Nico would enable or help Peri die. I have been relieved that Hollyoaks has avoided the obvious and allowed Peri to survive. If anything, Nico thinking Jade should be punished for "driving Tom away and leaving Peri feeling hurt" sounds not a million miles from Silas logic.

BIB - Tonight's scene on E4 of is making me think I could be right even more

If I'm not then I'm not, it's just a guess.

I'm also glad they let Peri survive as I generally like her, although I hope Hollyoaks don't make me regret that by making her stay as the nasty cow she's been recently. I liked her before the Jade bullying, and I've also liked her over the past few episodes, tonight's especially, when she showed remorse to Jade.

I really wish Silas has offed Nico when he had the chance

I was definately picking up a vibe of her becoming interested in Peri Clearly she is obsessed but the way she was stroking her neck when she was unconscious and now talking about soul mates and her photo in a heart in her scrapbook I think there coulf be a sexual or romantic interest.

Peri has been quite nasty recently but having the controlling Cameron as a father< Tom as an ex *who was also quite controlling over the baby) and now Nico poor girl doesn:t stand a chance!

Speaking of Cameron, generally I do quite like him (yes I know he's done dreadful things, I wouldn't want to know him in real life but I do find his personality and looks quite attractive) but had to double take at his attitude to Warren when he has killed 3 people and tried to kill his ex girlfriend< mother of his child who he is now living with again. Cam having spent more than half his life in Prison must be public record, why didn:t Warren bring it up?

I agree 100% with this post.

BIB 1 - This was literally my reasons for think she could be developing a crush.

BIB 2 - Yeah I like Cameron too. He was one of my favourite characters, and I really wish they hadn't have had Cameron kill Sam & Danny on purpose, followed by him causing Ziggy's death and then killing Lockie. And he is quite attractive I also found it strange how his attitude to Warren being a murderer was so bad.

Although, that being said, I read somewhere that Cameron was under the influence of Magic Mushrooms when he confessed to Lockie? I can't remember, so I'm not sure how true this is? Although it definitely looks like he killed Lockie...

I agree and I think it needs to be Silas to do it

Cameron confessed to Leela about killing Sam & Danny when he was under the Magic Mushrooms influence in January last year. Leela did not report him to the Police for fear of how Peri would feel. Peri found out last August anyway. Meantime on her wedding day to Ziggy Leela said to Cam "The only thing I feel for you is hate. You killed my parents. You killed my mum and you killed my dad". Leela has of course had a change of heart since then....

Bib. That made me Lol.
Cameron is actually a serial killer and judging Warren

Yes, it was confessing to killing Sam and Danny that Cameron did when under the influence of magic mushrooms, he hasn't confessed to killing Lockie to anybody yet.

It is the circumstances of his confession, plus comments last September, which makes me think they changed their mind about Cameron doing it on purpose. Given he had no reason to confess at all at that stage as he was settled with Leela and Peri and not suspectEd at all, it seemed like the drug almost acted as a 'truth serum'. So, why didn'( he tell thw full truth at that stage, why say that it was an accident if it wasn't when he was making an unneeded confession? Then there was all the stuff in September, him accepting arrest, pleading guilty, saying that he owed the Lomaxes' a prison sentence lfor what he'd done to Sam and Danny and that he realised Leela was an obsession, not real love?

It actually felt like that was his leaving storyline, he'd come full circle going back to prison, missing out on his newly born grandchild as he had his daughter but this time he was,'t bitter as he knew he deserved it. It was redemptive to a certain extent and fitted with what i'd thought - he was basically a good man who'd made mistakes when he was a teenager then had years to grow bitter, resentful and obsessive in Prison and kept making mistakes when he got out (I'm not excusing his killing Sam and Danny, even by accident, and driving off though i can understand he was terrified of going back to Prison) but once he got on an even keel, decent job, girlfriend, he came good to a certain extent.

Then, within a week at Xmas, they trampled all over that character development and just made him a psycho.

Now, he's a hypocritical psycho!

BIB - I know he's not confessed to killing Lockie (well, not properly), I meant the scene in The Loft at Christmas where he confessed TO Lockie that he killed Sam and Danny on purpose.

I agree about Cameron's character development, I was really hoping they were going to show a different side to him upon his release, and I adored his relationship with Celine.

He'd been drinking and was clearly in a bad place because of Leela taking Peri away and Celine dumping him, but there wasn't anything else (like magic mushrooms) triggering that confession.

The only way you could write it off as a lie would be that he was so upset with Leela, he was venting. But the fact that he calmly planned to kill Leela after that and then showed no remorse, indeed gloated about Ziggy dying and kept Lockie captive for weeks, then killed him - i think it has to be accepted that he was telling the truth and did kill Danny and Sam deliberately - even though that wasn't how it appeared at the time or when he talked about it for the year afterwards.

Nico, i think she will come to a sticky end eventually (as will Cameron, going against Ste will see to that in time I'm sure) but think it could be a while yet.

I don't think they'd ever kill Tom off. He's just too important a legacy character as a Cunningham/Richardson and quasi Osborne plus the whole grim reaper thing - people around him die, he doesn't!

It's a shame that they not only ruined Cameron's character, but also messed the storyline up by bad planning - they obviously changed their minds halfway through (I wish they didn't!) and it's just made the storyline look amateurish
