Returning to Hollyoaks
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. ![]() https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...aks_characters |

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.

It's just that there were so many characters new to me that it seemed like everything has changed

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. |

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.

I don't like how there are new McQueens though, to me the real McQueens are Myra, Mercedes, Jacqui, John Paul, Carmel etc

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.
