This is my first thread so sorry if it's a bit lame I stopped watching Hollyoaks around 2013 or 2014, I think the former as I don't remember much that happened in the show in 2014. Anyway, I stopped watching perhaps a couple months after Brendan Brady left.

Now I've decided to start watching it again, but so many of the characters are new to me and I've missed quite a lot of backstory, so I was wondering if there was any way I could catch up on what has happened inbetween?

If this thread is pointless no worries, I'll just start watching again and maybe it'll make sense after a while

I think it's quite easy to pick up on who-is-who with Hollyoaks to be fair.

IF you have time, I'd probably suggest using Wikipedia to catch up on the newer characters you don't know, but I honestly don't think it'll matter too much.

Good time to start watching.

Attitude and some of the other regular hollyoakers will probably do it better than I can but lots of exciting stuff coming up

It's hard to describe what happened while you've been away

Suffice it to say I took a break in 2014 or so but it's easy to get back into

Try Wiki for the list of characters in the show, but like other's have said it's easy to get back into, the show moves so fast it's easy to understand and to pick up who is who.

There is a lot of exciting stuff coming up, currently it's Point Of View week and there is a Halloween Fright Night complete with stunt plus however the show celebrates the 21st Anniversary. Lots of new characters too which will be interesting.

Thanks I also read the synopses of recent episodes which has helped. It's just that there were so many characters new to me that it seemed like everything has changed

Thanks yeah you're right actually, it's not been too difficult to catch up on everything and it seems like the show is quite good at the moment

Just to let you that Jade and Alfie are fantastic as i'm sure you'll pick up on when you watch their story.

Yeah, they seem really sweet together I like that they've got interests and hobbies too, I can definitely see the difference between teen characters in HO compared to EE for example

Love jade and Alfie. They are a breath of fresh air.

James Nightingale is one to watch too. Best addition to the cast this year imo.

Overall, it's been quite decent these past few months. Like others have said wiki is a good place to start but it's easy to get into.

BIB - I wouldn't go expecting Hollyoaks to make sense.

Basically Ste has been with most of the village, married Jp, got a woman pregnant, had a baby, she left, He and JP split. he started dating Tonys son, and got a new family from no where and a drug addiction

JP was raped, Married Ste, dated his cousins hubby, and the most orange person on the planet

Nancy hasnt changed still tells Darren off

Mitzeee has a sister, she is Maxine, and married to Dodgers Dad, who was killed by the child of Dodger and his twin Fruit Loops, though she likes being called Sienna, the kid is called Nico

Tony is still around, lost the resturant to Morticia Adams, though she is called Marine Nightingale in the show

The dog belongs to the original family who we had never heard of til they randomly appeared having bought it from Jack

Warren is undead again

Well all the new characters are absolutely atrocious so I see no need to get to know them as hopefully a new producer will be along soon and they will be axed.
Its good to see Amy back though. Personally ide rather they just reboot the show back to 2011 so we can forget the whole sorry past 5 years ever happened

The only thing I can add is that if you're not sure about anything, you could always drop into the HO daily thread, and ask us on there - I'm sure somebody will be able to help.

Oh that would be great but at least a few of them seem okay, like Jade and Alfie. I don't like how there are new McQueens though, to me the real McQueens are Myra, Mercedes, Jacqui, John Paul, Carmel etc

I'm not a fan of the Mcqueen family and we have even more on the way

Of the new mcqueens I like cleo though I don't really see her as a McQueen per se. I do find celine quite flat and uninteresting and i think she should be written out.
