George is 16 going on 17 and in high school. He's perfectly mature for his age and given what he's been through. He is one of the sweetest and most considerate characters on Hollyoaks. He just made the mistake of thinking Ste was a rational, kind older guy. Leave him alone.

Will and Sonny are together. Why should Will need to prove anything to Brian? Brian had his shot, he took it, he failed. It's not Spartacus. If Sonny wanted to be with Brian, he wouldn't have gotten back together with Will. Brian should be able to just accept that and move on. I think having Will "confront" Brian or WHATEVER is just so old-fashioned. Who does that anymore? Whether Will and Sonny are a together or not, Sonny has agency and his own mind and he has made his choice. He wants to be with Will because he's in love with Will and Will actually, finally, knows and believes him.
There is no point in bringing Brian around so he and Will can piss at each other over Sonny.
Sonny is a human being, not a prize to be won or fought for.

I think Will has suffered enough and he doesn't need to add Brian returning to the list of things driving him crazy. Why can't Sonny be jealous for once? Will has been jealous of Brian on like 5 different occasions. It's just not interesting anymore. If Will and Sonny had actually gotten to be a couple for more than a couple months before the baby drama reared its ugly head, I might feel differently. But they have JUST gotten back together. What is the point of yet again, bringing in Brian to make Will even more insecure than he already is. If Sonny was interested in Brian, he would BE with Brian now. UGH.

The problem is Lucas is completely useless. Since he's been on the show all he does is walk around yelling at Sami or Will and apologizing. He has no power to do anything to help Will. He hasn't even told his mother (who DOES have some power) what's going on. Lucas is just ridiculous. He just always seems 4 steps behind and lost about how to handle things. I feel sorry for Bryan because I literally have no idea why Lucas is on the show.

How in the world would "WILSON" get full custody of Will's baby? Even if Gabi died or went to jail, surely Will would get full custody of his baby just like Sami has full custody of Sidney and Johnny. Sonny doesn't need custody of a baby that isn't his. Sonny and Will can still date if Will is raising his daughter. Having a kid has never stopped any of the other characters on the soap from having a love life, why would it stop Will? Sonny and will are still in college and haven't even lived together yet. I don't think Sonny is ready to be anybody's father any time soon.

Yes but JP hasn't slept with anyone over whom he has authority. He has sex with Doug so it doesn't really matter.
And George slept with Ste, not a teacher or anyone who has authority over him.
I was simply clarifying what George's age was because someone was unclear and confused because of the word "college".
Pheobe is 15 so it's possible that George is 16 or about to be 17. But he's definitely not 18.
That was my only point. LOL

If it's not an actual spoiler yet, it's it a bit irresponsible to bring it to TGODT? Why not leave it over on DS until there is an actual spoiler about somebody being raped? Why put that out into the rumor mill unless it's verified?

That's why I asked about the UK law. In most parts of the US it doesn't matter if he did it voluntarily, if the person is under 18 it's considered statutory rape. This is the law in the state I live in. The age of consent is 16 in the UK but George must be over 18 now anyway. He's 2 years older than Phoebe and he is going to finish college in a couple of months. Ste's 22 or 23 so not really that much older. There were lots of terrible things about that hook up but the age difference wasn't really one of them. Someone explained this a couple times in the Hollyoaks and Emmerdale threads but from what I recall, in the UK, "college" is equal to what we in the US would call the last 2 years of high school. Pheobe, George, Tilly, Callum are all in "UK College/US H.S." in their last year. They are a year older than Esther and Ruby who are in their 1st year of UK College=US Jr/Sr Yr. H.S. That is why JP was freaking out. George is a minor. Though he is at the age of consent to have sex. None of the "UK College=US Jr/Sr Yr. H.S." kids are 18 yet. The older kids are in what we in the US would call Community College - Callum's sister, Will, Texas Ste and Doug are mid 20s I'd say. JP is late 20s.

The baby is Will's daughter, not Sonny's. I don't think Sonny needs to think of the baby as HIS in order to care about what happens to her because he loves Will. Why can't folks just let Will be a father and Sonny be his boyfriend without trying to make Sonny a father too? Sonny and Will are college students, they aren't married, they haven't even been together for 6 months and they were broken up for 2.5 of them. As long as Gabi is alive and not in jail, the baby will have only 2 parents, Will and Gabi. If Gabi says married to Nick, the baby will have a STEPfather and the boyfriend of her dad.
Sonny is not automatically a dad just because Will is a father.
Lucas is not the dad of Johnny and Sidney (even though he has been in a relationship with Sami since they were born), Rafe was not the father of any of Sami's kids even though he was married to Sami and lived with them They have their own fathers. Rafe was a step dad, that is what Nick would be. Lucas was not even that because he wasn't married to Sami.
Will and Sonny can have a solid relationship without Sonny having to act like he's the father of the baby.
I feel like folks are doing with Sonny the same thing Nick was doing with Gabi, taking ownership over the baby because of the relationship with the parent.
As for Brian. I actually wish Will would NOT confront him. Sonny is a grown man. It is not Will's place to tell him who he can and can't see or hang out with and Brian went on a couple dates with Sonny when Sonny and Will were broken up. Brian didn't force Sonny to do anything he didn't want to (even if his heart wasn't really in it).
Will should mind his business. Being someone's boyfriend doesn't mean you own them. They still have free will and Sonny is perfectly capable of making it clear to Brian where he stands. He has done so in the past and he'd have no trouble doing so now.
Will had nothing to be jealous or insecure about when it comes to Sonny's feelings about him. Even Brian knew he didn't really have a shot because Sonny couldn't even bring himself to sleep with him because he wanted to be with Will.
Will should not take the bate and just look right through Brian and keep on walking. Jealousy and "fighting over" someone is so old-fashioned and played out. I just makes someone look sad and desperate. I don't want to see Will any more sad and desperate than he already is.
If Brian needs to be told off, it should be by Sonny (assuming he does something worthy of being told off for) and if Will has doubts about Sonny wanting to be with him, he should talk to Sonny about it.
The WORST thing you can do when some hound dog is after your partner is to let them know it gets to you.

In what episode does Kalle come out? Does anyone find out about his secret, or does he tell anyone himself? In what episode do we get to see his first boyfriend? In what episode did Kalle return after 10 years? Just curious.. The Kalle's story thread might have more answers for you.

Ste's behavior doesn't surprise me and bless Doug, he tried his best. I still think it's cruel that Amy lives so far away with the kids. It's not good for the kids to be so far away from their father and they will inevitably resent him if they have to grow up away from him. You have to sacrifice for your kids and Amy is right to keep them with her but she doesn't have to live so far away. Poor little George. I'm glad that he was ready to have some sex and I hope it was a good experience but ugh, drunken first time with an angry lad on the rebound and he really has no one to talk to about it because Tilly has moves to Mars (apparently). I hope Callum is around to talk with George and get him through this, they are so good for each other. It shouldn't be such a big deal but the first time you have sex can be a big deal for some and especially for George who has come so far in accepting himself and feeling healthy and actually wanting to get close to another boy. Ryan should come back NOW. He's George's "Spike".

He didn't "save" Cheryl from anything. There is no proof she won't still go down. He's dead, he's not there to protect her. The police couldn't even figure out who actually killed Lindsey. There is no reason to believe they will buy the story Cheryl is selling and she is the only witness. Let's just hope Brendan DIDN'T die or left a written confession. Nevertheless, Cheryl would be considerably more "saved" if Brendan had allowed himself to be arrested, confessed to murdering his father and gone to jail. Cheryl would still have a brother, Ste would not be destroyed by having to watch that AND lose Brendan and Brendan would go to jail but possible get out some day to live his life. As others have pointed out, there are cameras all up and through the bar and there is the tape of what happened with Walker in Brendan's apartment. All of that could have proved to get Cheryl off due to emotional distress and a desire to protect her brother, etc. This entire "Brendan sacrifices himself" thing is bollocks. It makes no sense.

What Brendan did doesn't save anyone except himself. Cheryl is still left devastated by everything she learned and the fact that she killed her own father in cold blood (and we still don't know if the police will buy her story or if she'll hold up under investigative scrutiny given how hysterical she can be under pressure) Ste had to watch whatever happened to Brendan (unnecessarily cruel if you ask me) and without even really knowing what happened. Brendan should have at least called Ste and told him to run, get the hell out and don't look back. No one thought to call Nate so that he could be there for Cheryl to support her so Brendan just left her in a surrounded building with her dead father on the floor? I guess more will be explained today But so far I'm not impressed with Brendan's "grand sacrifice". He only saved himself.

Ste did not need to see that. Once Brendan saw that Ste was there, he should have just let the cops take him. He may have spared Cheryl going to jail but he's just scarred Ste FOR LIFE (again).

It's kinda weird since we know what Tyler looked like when he was little because he was on TV and he looked exactly the same as now but the actor they've chosen is totally believable. Excited to see the new season.
As for the twins, I was hoping one of them would be gay and involved in a REAL romance with Danny. I hope it starts off fake but becomes real because I love Danny as a character and he has such great chemistry with Styles and Scott. The three of them becoming better friends would make sense give all they have been through together.
I'm also excited to learn more about Scott's mom and what happened to his dad.

Excuse me for saying so, but if you've said something a dozen times, does it really need to be repeated? At some point you have to let things go. I think we've seen Will and Sonny be as sexually explicit as the network is going to allow them to be. Regardless of what the straight couples do in bed, we don't live in a world where all things are equal, that's just fact. So unless we're talking cable television, I think Sonny and Will have gone as far as any gay male couple is going to go on afternoon daytime tv in the US. For good or for bad, that seems to be the fact. Personally, I don't think "chemistry" is objective. It is something you either feel when you watch a couple or you don't. It is no different than "attractiveness" or "sexiness". It's all about personal taste.
For me, chemistry is something created by two actors with each other when they are in character and it has to do with connection, believability, intimacy and some intangibles.
I don't think chemistry has anything to do with the explicit nature of a sex scene. Two characters can have white hot sexual chemistry over a cup of coffee if that is the intention of the scene and the actors have that connection while in character.
There are plenty of explicit sex scenes on soaps that have no fire at all from where I'm sitting. Boy and Hope (I actually like the characters separately and I think they are each sexy in their own right but their scenes lack passion even when they are actually having sex. The same was true for John and Marlena. But even though I can't stand Nicole, I thought she had amazing chemistry with EJ and not a drop with Daniel.) ' Anyway, my point is, it's not about the sex scene but how it makes a viewer feel to see two characters together. To me, that is what chemistry is about.
As long as these actors are playing these characters, folks will either feel their chemistry or not, take it or leave it
I'm not sure there is anything a director or actor can do to make a viewer feel chemistry between two characters if they just aren't into it.
I think the writer, directors and actors' jobs are to make viewers believe whatever emotion the characters are meant to be conveying in a scene. I feel that Sonny and Will are in love and have sexual desire for each other and they enjoy each other as people and sexually. I can feel it when I watch them. To me, that is what chemistry is about.
As for passion, each couple is different. You don't always kiss the same way. It changes depending upon whom you're kissing. Sami kisses Rafe, Lucas and EJ differently even though she has passionate feelings about each of them.
Again, to me, it comes down to the two actors. It's contextual, not generic. Chemistry is about the moment and the individuals involved. it's not a formula, for me.
I think if you aren't feeling the chemistry and love and desire between Will and Sonny by now, you're probably not going to even if they reenacted 91/2 Weeks shot for shot. LOL

Okay but how does the tortured woman and the kidnapped boy play into loving Paul and Jacob together? I'm confused about what you're asking, but I'll try to explain. Jacob, Paul and Emma kidnapped Joey, who is Joe Carroll and Claire's child. Joe actually asked them to kidnap him. For what I don't know. It's kinda confusing.. for revenge maybe? He never liked the fact that Claire and Ryan were together. As for the tortured woman.. do you mean the woman in the basement? Well.. Paul got kinda mad at Jacob when he was hooking up with Emma again, so he decided to kidnap a girl, so he wouldn't be "the third wheel" anymore. Now he had someone too. I know it's crazy, but Paul obviously wasn't in his right mind. Then she was tied up there for a while because they had to kill her, or else she would blew their cover. They forced Jacob to kill, since he's never killed before. But he always wimped out in the last minute. He couldn't do it. She was in the basement when the police and FBI surrounded the house. I'm really bad at explaining things.. I'm so sorry. You should watch the whole show. I promise it's really good. I don't think you'll regret it! I know what happened on the show. I watched it. I was just not understanding why anyone would care if two murdering psychos got together. They are both evil. We don't actually know if either of them are gay. It's just weird.
