Thanks! That does work... Uhm; is it oke to discuss spoilers non-JP related here or do we have to discuss them at the spoiler discussion thread? Anyway: [highlight] I'll be glad if Beth leaves too. Anything to see this relationship end: it's really unhealthy! (You did mean Beth right? Rhys I do like so I hope he's not leaving... ) Now I have to go and read the other spoiler, cause this made me curious. [/highlight]

Very wooden and mumbles. I think it should be ok to discuss the non-JP spoilers here cause some people watch just the JP/K stuff and others watch or are interested in non-JP storylines as well so this thread is for the folks who are part of the latter group.

And so did I... Unfortunately Hollyoaks is the only soap I can't watch on my own tv screen or on the internet, so I have to do it with whatever is uploaded on YT... And I do read the spoilers and recaps, so I do know what's going on most of the time.

Okay. I knew that the 'Jake Dean loses his mind' storyline had to have some sort of final resolution, because there was NO WAY that TPTB could tie up everything in a nice and shiny bow for that character. Jake tried to kill Charlie and was emotionally, mentally and physically abusive to Nancy.
I'm glad that Kevin Sacre's looking at this turning point in his professional life as a positive one and it was his decision to leave.
I wish him the best of luck.
Now, we just need to know the status of another actor who's currently on the show.

Over at Digital Spy there are rumors Loui Batley (Sarah) may also be leaving. And Roxanne McKee is supposedly leaving when her contract is up later this year. The future for James Sutton and Jennifer Metcalfe is also unsure, and I can't see Chris Fountain (Justin) staying past his contract. The show seems to be losing a lot of actors, not sure if they have any new characters ready to replace them. They seem to be bringing in short-term faces (Summer, Beth).
I'm surprised they're putting Sasha and Justin back together. I thought they were going for Nancy/Justin.

From the spoilers:
I just wish I knew what they were planning for Darren, since he's one of my favorites.
I hope the reaction to Carmel's "Free Louise" plan is "Who cares?"

I read somewhere that Kris is going to be getting a big storyline. Does anyone know what it is?

Is that the story Gerard McCarthy said people would love or hate? Did he say that?
I can't believe they seem to be moving so fast with Niall and Steph. They almost kiss in a few weeks, they've barely even had a conversation, have they? Steph almost slept with Sam Owen before he went crazy (they never actually had sex because he couldn't get an erection), so this will be her first official psycho love interest. 8 years on the show, I guess I should be surprised it took this long.

My eyes flew into the back of my head when Sarah was going on about what Ste had turned Amy into. Amy has been a selfish liar and brat for years. She has made her own choices and I hope we aren't supposed to feel she is somehow just going along with him because she has no say in the matter.
Jacqui storming into the Valentine apartment and promising revenge on Valerie, completely ignoring useless Leo...I loved it. I hope she runs them out of town.

She's beyond pathetic and just so very tiresome. She and Ste deserve one another.

I'm a bit behind with watching HO and since it seems I'm not able to fall asleep (It's three in the morning here ), I thought I might as well be doing some catching up... I just watched the episode of 08-04 where Eliot is found by Kris and he discovers the truth about his dad. Geesh, I think I've never seen a better make-over before ;D. I love the new Eliot! I was watching a recent clip before I started catching up with what I missed and I saw him together with Kris. First thing I thought: Has Kris found himself a new boyfriend? I really didn't recognise him at first... ;D PS. I don't like Ste and Amy at all... Stupid kids . O and Darren is such a fun character: I really like him together with Mercedes and Kris.

I guess until JP/K comes back on, I will be content that I might be getting the Sasha/Justin I always wanted but was denied the first time around. I like their chemistry and she's not nearly as irritating as Katy or Nancy.

I also liked Sasha and Justin together. I just don't trust any Hollyoaks relationships to last more than a few minutes.
The fallout of everyone finding out about Beth and Rhys was just fantastic. I watched those scenes with the Ashworths in the living room over and over. That's what happens when most of the people in the family (not named Beth) can act.
God, Sarah makes me so sick. I have tried to get used to her egomania, but to go on about how much Rhys sleeping with Beth affected her? And if some of the stuff I read on Wikipedia happens, then my loathing for her is going to cause me to burst into flames.

I finally watch the 4/16/08 clips with the fallout over Beth/Rhys. I felt badly for Gilly, Hannah and Josh. I am counting the minutes until Beth is gone cause the "actress" is so wooden, so awful that she just about killed the scenes attempting to emote remorse. I won't miss her. She makes Hannah Tointon, aka Katy, seem like Cate Blanchett in comparison. Also, because it needs to be said often: Sarah, it isn't always about you!! Ugh, she's so self-absorbed. Hannah's rightly upset about Beth/Rhys and all Sarah can focus on is that Rhys was seeing her when he was also diddling Beth & that people are probably having a laugh at her. I am so tired of Sarah's ME ME ME attitude. Over the past several months Sarah has effectively murdered any compassion I felt for her over getting dicked over by McDean. Boy did Craig dodge a bullet not marrying her. Carld2, what did you read on wikipedia that might cause you to burst into flames?

While I am a big fan of the John Paul/Kieron storyline, I am also looking forward to the show hopefully aiming for Sasha/Justin redux. I so want them together this time instead of the disastrous "almost" of a few years ago and reading the May 2nd stuff gives me hope. Sasha has the drug & insecurity issues and she needs to get away from Fletch pronto. Justin is a mess, now a father and thankfully now Katy-less. I really, really want to see them happen this time. The timing for them is a better now than in 2006 though it's not great. It's definitely workable.

Sorry, I haven't had time to reply until now. The Wikipedia comments which caused the flameage were that she would turn to Danny for comfort, causing Hannah to relapse. Since Hannah has already relapsed, hopefully this Wikipedia entry was wrong.
How good did Mike Barnes look in the buff? Very nice backside. I will always prefer Zoe with Darren, but I want Mike to be happy too, it's nice to see a happy couple.
Niall seems to be written as much more...human, funny, warm, romantic lately. I can't figure out if they have changed his writing because he's popular, or if they are setting us up for something awful. I really don't want them to ruin this character like they did with Will, with Andy, other great actors whose characters were turned too dark.

Wow - I'm a month or more behind on Hollyoaks, but it sounds like I've got some good stuff to watch. You know, much as I liked the JP/Craig storyline, the couple I thought had some *real* chemistry was Justin and Warren. There were a lot of moments when I expected them to move from slugging to shagging.

I definitely do not like the direction of Amy and Ste's storyline, but I hope that writer's don't go for an easy way out to explain away Ste's physical, emotional and mental abuse of Amy in the future. It saddens me that someone so young, with so much going for her, has allowed herself, along with her child to get "trapped" into a relationship with someone that wants her to be utterly dependent on him.
