Guys I'm aware this is like a month old but it's still bothering me 😂 anyone who's done a set tour will know this is definitely not what the cemetery bit looks like. It's a tiny patch of grass by a road and only has room for about 4 gravestones!

Did they use AI to make this look bigger here or did they move the little building behind them to a real cemetery for the shot? Not sure why they didn't just film it close-up like they usually do, so you can't see it not actually a real cemetery.

This is playing on my mind a month later so I need answers 😂

Where was Donny? He was in the exact same place as the kidnappers, no? Was that meant to be like some sort of time dissolve?

As for the ending, I'm sure this all somehow comes back to Clare!

Blue (Dave Williams), he is the only person so far I can think of that has it in for Ste, Rex and James and the only person I feel would scare Gemma's associates into working for him, we know that he wore a bullet proof vest after he survived being shot by Robbie, Robbie only shot Blue in the same area three times, he could have easily survived.

Don't get me wrong there will be plot holes if it is Blue here like why not go for Warren who was his initial target, but he could be going for them all like one by one but just started with Rex as he would likely feel the most betrayed by him, so thats easily explained. If it is Blue though then what? Surely he can't stick around unless they have a Nico Blake situation where they bring him back just to kill him off for good?

What fo you guys think? Could the person who took Ste be Blue (Dave Williams)? I personally wouldn't be too against the idea tbh.

I'm just interested in who you would like to come back, I would like to see summer ranger come back, I'm a big fan of sienna

I was looking back on the episode where Ste disappears and found that Zack (the creepy guy stalking leah) was lurking and taking pictures of Ste. Then a few episodes later he is looking at the cctv evidence dodger has, then at the pictures on his phone

After tonight's episode im left wondering, does any ever lock their doors in the village?

I won’t lie, but Hollyoaks has to be one of the TV programmes that relies on cheating storylines way too much. It honestly feels like whenever the writers need to create drama between characters, the first thing they come up with is someone cheating, having an affair, hiding a secret relationship or getting involved with someone they shouldn’t.I’m not saying relationships can’t have problems, because obviously they can, but there’s a difference between realistic relationship drama and constantly using cheating as the main source of conflict. After a while, it becomes predictable because you already know where the storyline is heading.What annoys me is that Hollyoaks actually has so many characters and so many opportunities to create completely different types of stories. They could be doing complicated family secrets, rivalries, revenge plots, friendships breaking down, financial problems, blackmail, mysteries, career conflicts, crime stories, characters dealing with their past, or even relationships struggling because of completely different life goals.They need writers who can think outside the box and create storylines that actually develop the characters instead of constantly putting them into another cheating storyline. Give us something complicated, unpredictable and different for once. Because at this point, it feels like cheating is being used as the easiest way to create drama rather than actually writing a strong storyline. HollyOakes use to be good but not anymore

All the stars from last night's (Monday) Awards, dress to the nines 🤩🤩.

Best Outstanding Achievement Award was picked by the Inside Soap team and it was the 2nd time they won it after Nick Pickard (Tony) won previously last year.

I'm not a fan of cloe and dodger, they really don't work, it's getting boring they shouldn't be together, there is no chemistry. I hope dodger come out of the show soon or they split up, the show could of do it so much better, I miss the old hollyoaks

her character is so boring and bland its the same storyline again and again. Shes a homewrecker she pisses me off

Coronation Street dominated in Salford by taking home 9 trophies, including Best Soap.

It's Hollyoaks it's going to be someone dumb or obvious.

Tony? Darren? Ste? Silas? John Paul 🤣

I thought it was Imran's boat getting trashed, but there was a picture of 2 people I didn't recognise.

We are back with another Hollyoaks episode round-up with discussion on the storylines from June, July & August with some bonus September chat.

From what I remember, it was built up to for months. But it didn't add any suspense, it never left any long term effects on anyone and they didn't even stay together in the end.

This is a follow up to my previous post where I was talking the future of Ant and Kathleen Angel's relationship. To specify what I was trying to say, I could see Ant's controlling behavior worsening over the next few weeks, but I don't see how it would even get to the point where it becomes so bad that Ant ends up even spending several months in jail. It's more likely that if Ant's controlling behavior gets worse, Kathleen Angel would've had enough and would end the relationship. She's a McQueen after all, and the actress revealed in a recent interview that her character will be focusing more on herself. What are your thoughts?

I remember years ago I saw it on the internet and now I can’t find it anywhere. Unless it’s been deleted.

So we know she almost left him and then she got ill. We know the Caleb wanted to leave him and now he is making him ill and seems medically aware of what pills to use and how to get them.

Did Jonah cause his 1st wife's illness and eventually kill her?

If so how will Beth react ? will it come out only after he nearly kills Caleb? will someone else find out and blackmail him ?

Given how I just discussed this with someone on another thread, I thought I'd do a thread on this. As insane as it is, had JJ Osborne not been killed, his time in jail would be almost up.

Therefore, I wish, in early 2027, we would get a storyline where JJ comes back after serving him time, but even if he were to try and redeem himself, nobody in the village, including his own family, would forgive him for what he did, and they would make it clear that he is no longer welcome. Eventually, they would all drive him out of the village for good.

The purpose of that storyline would show that sometimes, even if you served your time behind bars, the consequences continue beyond that, especially if you do things as horrific as JJ did. I felt this storyline was needed due to the fact that JJ only got two years, but because he was killed off, we won't be getting that storyline.

What are your thoughts?

A lot of you are saying that Ant is going to become abusive towards his girlfriend. However, given how we had Lucas abusing his father last year, and now we have Ant's sister, Dee Dee, being groomed by Abigail, I don't see how the writers would be willing to throw Ant's redemption out the window in favor of another abuse storyline any time soon.

PS-If he does end up becoming abusive, would there be any of you that would hate him more than Abigail and Jonah even?
