A welcome crossover

Antony Cotton & Ross Adams.

Speaking of boyfriends for Scott, a couple I really would enjoy is Scott Drinkwell from Hollyoaks and Sean Tully from Coronation Street! They are both adorable and hilarious and I think they would be very cute together! So how about some... Drinkly? I would like to have a crossover. Now. Please give it to me They have both been deceived and need some love. Give it to them. Now.

McNight

Gregory Finnegan & James Sutton.

Don't get me wrong here, I really liked McDrink and I wouldn't like them getting back together but I really do believe that McNight could be, at least almost, the real deal. McDrink was very cute and Scott is fun and adorable but James Nightingale is really diverse and interesting! The fact that he has been abused by his father makes him just more interesting. But I hope that there will be some love as well and not just abuse and James being damaged goods. So, right now I feel, still not being completely over McHay, I like McNight. And even though I hated the thought of Ste and Scott together when Scott first arrived, I kind of like the idea now. I want Scott to be happy, he deserves, because to be honest, John Paul just hurted him and used him over and over. So, in my world, I would rather like Ste to be with Scott than Harry. When is Starry going to break up? Really? But I still won't start watching Hollyoaks again.

JP & James?

First of all, I have to say: vacatin mode! I'm not doing much actually. Sitting in my sofa knitting... Watching some youtube of course... But, before I went to Estonia I had catched up in Hollyoaks (at least what's interesting, and that's NOT Starry) and as you know I really enjoyed McDrink! I actually love McDrink! But, bak home again I was told that JP had a relationship rollercoster including both Scott and James Nightingale! Don't go there again JP!

Gregory Finnegan & James Sutton.

So, before I went away I was actually considering start watching whole episodes of Hollyoaks again but now I'm just not sure... Or I mean, no, I'm not ready yet. With McDrink together and Starry broken up it would have been worth it but now JP has a thin for James it seems and Starry is back together. What are you doing Hollyoaks?! I don't like it at all!

Gregory Finnegan as James Nightingale.

And I'm really split about James Nightingale. I mean, I love that there is a new gay character in Hollyoaks and I love a gay villain, but do I like James? Not really I think. I could accept him being with Harry and ruining the dreadful Starry but do he really have to ruin McDrink? Maybe James and John Paul would be good together but who will Scott be with then? I really think he deserves a great boyfriend! No, I think James could be with Harry so Starry would break up for good, McDrink would stay together and Brendan could come back from prison and sort Ste up for a wonderful and awaited Stendan reunion! I would love that! Because seriously, it's just ridiculus with John Paul and a James! Weren't there any available names or what?

McDrink!

I've realised that it's not unusual that I am not shipping the same couple that everyone else does. Lalle/Larias is proof of that. I just can't stand Larias any more but Lalle makes my heart skip some beats. McHay/Starry is even more proof. There weren't so many McHay shippr out there I've realised, but almost everyone seemed to love Starry, which I just couldn't stand! At all! I am not sad that they broke up. Normally I would now be rooting for McHay to get back together, but I'm not so sure any more...

Ross Adams & James Sutton in Hollyoaks.

Because now I am a McDrink shipper! I really hated Scott Drinkwell in the beginning for flirting with Ste, but now I totally dig hin with John Paul! It's weird how feelings work actually. But they are just so darn cute together! But, by the comments on youtube I can see that most people hate them together and that they still hate Scott. But I have to say that he is terribly misunderstood! And I have to say that I just can't stand Ste any more. After the awful Starry storyline he just feels... dirty! So I enjoy McDrink, I enjoy Scott very much because he's cute, I still love John Paul because he is amazing and I absolutely love Sally! The storyline about her being JP's father is just amazing! So, a McDrik shipper I am! James and Kieron have to be very convincing to make me go there again! But I know that James loves working with Ross so I'm not sure it will happen vary soon. And also, Ross apparenty came up with the ship name Scone-Paul but I think that sounds ridiculous. I'm sticking with McDrink!

Meet Aaron Dingle!

Danny Miller as Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale.

So, it's finally official! There's no Aaron Livesy no more, there's just Aaron Dingle. I can really understand why Aaron changed his name from his pervy fathers name. And I don't even think it will take any time to get used to it. But Aaron's name change got me thinking about if there's any other gays who changed their last name...

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay/McQueen in Hollyoaks.

The only one I got to think of is Ste who changed from Hay to McQueen when he got married to John Paul. And as far as I know he hasn't changed back. We know that Harry booked a hotel room or something in his and Mr McQueen's name and everyone thought it was John Paul and I haven't heard anything about any divorce. I really wonder how they are going to pull the storyline with Scott proposing to JP off... But everyone still calls Ste Hay and not McQueen, so I think I will stick with that.

There has been some weddings through the years in soap operas but I can't recall that any other of the characters changed last name. Can you think of any?

And then this happens...

Ross Adams & James Sutton in Hollyoaks.

JP is on fire! Finally we get some quality John Paul time! I hope something good turns out of his kiss with Scott!

JP on a roll!

James Sutton, Nicole Barber-Lane and Juan Pablo Yepez.

Last week we got to know this, that John Paul is to develop feelings for his mother's boyfriend Diego. I was actually hoping for that. I approve. But this week there's more!

James Sutton & anonymous.

And then this happens! It's said that John Paul is set to date new-boy Jake (the actor is still anonymous for us), and that seems promising indeed! I approve! But there's more!

James Sutton and Ross Adams.

And then THIS happens! I do like that one! I like Scott (nowdays) and I actually think JP and Scott could be somethong real. Scott is very missunderstood and he just needs love, just as John Paul, and I think they could love eachother. If I can't get Mchay, at least I could get McDrinkwell? is that too much? McWell? McDrink? McScott? I kind of don't like any of them, but I could settle with anyone. I kind of hope that JP snogs all three of them. He need some really good snogging! Yeah, every day I get a little closer to start watching Hollyoaks again. Any day now.

Another transgender!

Annie Wallace as Sally St. Claire.

I am ctching up on Hollyoaks because I have to bee in phase when Christmas day comes! Bring back McHay! But I was very positively surprised when I realized the new hedmistress Sally St. Claire is a transgender! Both in the series and in real life! Scottish actress Annie Wallace is the first ever transgender actor to get regular in the show. And I love her! She's kind of the female version of Patrick Blake, without the evilness. So this is the third transgender character in Hollyoaks. We've already met Jason Costello and Blessing Chambers before.

Annie Wallace as Sally St. Claire and Jeremy Sheffield as Patrick Blake.

Hollyoaks just keeps delivering LGBT characters again and again! Right now there's one transgender (Sally obviously) four gay males (John Paul, Ste, Scott and Harry), two lesbians (Esther and Kim) and also two bisexuals (Lockie and Grace). That is nine LGBT characters, nd it has been ten this year! I still miss Dylan very much! So, Hollyoaks, even though Eastenders has made an eeffort with both Paul Coker and Ben Mitchell, the wonderful Christine and the newcomer Kyle, Hollyoaks still is queen of LGBT in the soap world, all over this planet!

The Hollyoaks bisexuals

And there has also been some bisexuals in Hollyoaks. Of course. And dykes as well. But let's get to know the bisexuals.

Gerard McCarthy as Kris Fisher.

First out is Kris Fisher. Kris Fisher were both crossdresser and not that scrupulous about his partners. He slept with a guy called Nathan, then a girl called Jessica, and a girl called Summer and later he starts sleeping with both Nancy (later Osbourne)...

Stephen Uppal as Ravi Roy.

...and her boyfriend Ravi Roy. Well, both the affairs was revealed and actually Kris, Nancy and Ravi decided to start a polyamorous relationship. That's a first in soap operas if I'm not wrong. I have never heard of any more poly relationship at least. Unfortunately there's not much to see of this relationship on youtube. That's a shame. And unfortunately the triad broke u because Nancy thought it was weird. What a shame! And I don't think that Ravi had any other same sex partners either. He moved from Hollyoaks in 2010.

Guy Burnet as Craig Dean.

Craig Dean was in the show for six years between 2002-2008. And I actually don't think he was bisexual. Well, I think all people are bisexual somewhat, but if there's just black and white, Craig was not grey. He was just a straight guy who fell in love with his best friend who happened to be a guy. But I count him to the bisexuals anyway. His and John Paul's lovestory was beautiful. Even though it didn't end well. That's a shame. But I kind of hope that Guy Burnet will come back and reprise his role as Craig Dean at some point and reunite with John Paul. Well, he's done it before!

Stephen Billington as Danny Lomax.

I'm not sure I like Danny Lomax. Well, he was a quite good guy and I didn't hate him with John Paul, but he was quite a bastard. He was openly bisexual, at least to his wife, but he also cheated on her. John Paul was really hurt, and so was Sam, but to his defense, he really loved John Paul. Fortunately, John Paul chose his son Ste instead. And speaking of Ste, he and Danny almost made out once before Danny knew that Ste was his son! How lucky that didn't happen! But he did have time s´to snog George a bit before he died. And I actually miss Danny and Sam Lomax. They were great! Especially Sam!

Nick Rhys as Lockie Campbell.

Well, Lockie took Hollyoaks by storm when he arrived last fall. As the fiancé to the McQueen cousin Porsche he arrived and did not hesitate to flirt with John Paul, even on his wedding day! And at least I didn't really like him when he arrived. He as well was a threat to McHay and I just can't tolerate that! But he was quite fun and when he and John Paul started something again this summer I didn't hate it. But it ended because he is after all married to Porsche and he also had an affair with Mercedes at the same time. How about that! Three McQueens at once! He would deserve a medal. But I am quite glad it ended with John Paul so he can reunite with Ste. So, as I told you before, I wouldn't hate Lockie with Scott. Harry is to young though. But perhaps a new gay character for Lockie? I just can't stand Porsche!

The Hollyoaks gays

Ok, because of the celebration of Hollyoaks 20 years I think I will have a small Hollyoaks special here on the blog. That could be a sequel, because there's just so much to tell! Hollyoaks has dealed with a lot of LGBT related issues through the years with two gay rapes, at least two transsexuals, a poly relationship, crossdressing more than once and lot's and lot's more. But let's just concentrate on the gay regular characters for a while.

James Sutton as John Paul McQueen.

It all started with John Paul McQueen in 2006. He fell in love with his best friend Craig Dean who he had a secret relatiosnhip with and both dated a DJ and a priest before he left the show in 2008. Thank gods he returned in 2012, after James Sutton made a litte voyage in Emmerdale as a straight character, who actually worked with Aaron Livesy. The world is quite small indeed. Then he slept with Ste's great big love, Brendan Brady, dated Ste's ex Doug for a short while, had a secret relationship with Ste's dad, Danny Lomax, before he ended up with Ste Hay himself! And they broke up and he also had an affair with his cousin's husband, Lockie. A lot has happened to John Paul McQueen! And I love him, both John Paul and James Sutton. I hope he will stay for a long time this time around!

Jake Hendriks plays Kieorn Hobbs.

So, Kieron Hobbs played by Jake Hendriks. The gay catholic priest who stopped preaching for love. He was a nice guy but I never really liked him. He was quite boring and he just wasn't Craig Dean! So I never really liked him with John Paul. But he didn't deserve to die. Damn Niall. Well, Kieron wasn't a regular for so long, about a half year, but I think he was a popular character in the show. Everybody liked the priest. Except for Myra McQueen for a while when she discovered his relationship with John Paul...

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay.

And then there's the lovely Ste Hay. I have to say that he is lovely, even though he started up as a bad guy who tormented por Amy and cut her hair. Ste is just so dum, but of so wonderful! He can't help that he is a twat, because he is damaged goods. But he also has a good heart and you just have to love him! Even though he always takes the wrong decisions! Every time! But he is also very cute and funny. And I just love Kieron Richardson so much! he is an amazing actor! I don't always agree Ste in his choice of boyfriends though. He started off with Brendan Brady, who also abused him, then he dated the boring Noah Baxter for a while, then there was a bit more of Brendan, then Doug then more Brendan, then more Doug and then finally John Paul. Unfortunately he has moved on with Harry lately. I do ot approve and I am just waiting for Christmas and the McHay reunion that we are all waiting for!

Emmett J. Scanlan as Brendan Brady.

An then, my personal favourite, Brendan Brady. I know that he is a super villain, but it's just not possible to dislike him! He was really treating Ste like shit for so long, and he didn't really deserve our love right then, but Emmett J. Scanlan is doing such a tremendous job and he is just so brilliant! Brendan Brady will for ever be my favourite gay character in Hollyoaks, and that's because of Emmett. John Paul is the most sympathique character, but Brendan is just the best! He was so weird and funny. It's so obvious that Brendan has a lot of diagnoses and he makes a lot of sick stuff, but we always forgive him. I mean, is there anyone out there who doesn't love Brendan Brady? Ste was the love of his life but he also had a one night stand with John Paul as told before, and he also seduced Ste's boyfriend Noah just to get Ste back. He did everything for love except for sacrifice his sister. I am still a bit bitter for that. Damn you Brendan!

Law Thompson plays Noah Baxter.

I never liked Noah Baxter so I won't dwell on him. He was boring, he was totally wrong for Ste (rebound) and I never really got why he snogged Brendan. Ok, Brendan is amazing, but Noah hated him! I do not miss him at all.

P J Brennan as Doug Carter.

Doug Carter was Ste's first husband who kind of sorted him out when he was atrain wreck after Brendan. And Doug was lovely! He started off as straight, but then he came out after falling for Ste. And even though I am a Stendan shipper, I really liked Stug. They were just good together. And it might be so that I accepted Doug because I knew that Ste would choose Brendan anyway. In any case, they were really cute together and they were also very good for eachother. Unfortunately Doug had to die. That was really a shame. And I also liked Doug with John Paul. They were cute to. I miss Doug. I think Doug could come back as a ghost for Ste just like Steph Dean did for him. That would be great!

Steven Roberts as George Smith.

And here's an underrated gay character. George Smith was a regular in Hollyoaks in 2001-2014 and according to me he never got the gay storyline he deserved. It was just boring stuff with other character's in focus. He had one serious relationship with Vincent Elegba, but they were really boring together. He also had some kind of crush on Ste, who he also lost his virginity to, and he also almost had the hots for Danny Lomax a short while. I would like to have seen more of that. But at least he got a happy ending when he left Hollyoaks for London and Vincent. I hope he will come back some time I miss his funny character and his always amazing and a bit tacky clothes. I think he would be great with Scott actually! Could we please see that Hollyoaks?

John Omole as Vincent Elegba.

I don't really have much to say about Vincent. I haven't seen the storyline about him and George enough to have an oppinion about him, more than that it was quite boring and that Vincent seemed like a nice guy, but boring. Not enough sparks basically. But at least they got to have sex at last. And an happy ending. But boring.

Ross Adams as Scott Drinkwell.

Oh Scott how I disliked you in the beginning. But now I love you! Scott Drinkwell was a pain in the ass when he arrived because he was a threat to McHay, but now he is really funny and cute and I so would like to see him in a real storyline in the name of lööve. There's not much to choose from if George doesn't come back, that is, but for Harry or maybe Lockie. I think I could live with both the alternatives. He thinks that Harry is cute, but I think that he is maybe a bit young. But I would really like Lockie Campbell in a real "can't-live-without-eachother"-storyline, and why not with Scott? Or at least give him a great new character to play with! Just keep him of Ste and John Paul!

Parry Glasspool as Harry Thompson.

Last, and least right know, there's Harry Thompson. Harry is young and innocent and completely wrong for Ste if you ask me. If you read y blog you already know that I am not a fan of Starry. I see no sparks and I am just longing for McHay so much right know. I couldn't care less for Starry! Harry actually started of with a small crush for, and snog with, John Paul and I liked that much more. I could see it. But I just can't see Harry with Ste. It came from nowhere and makes no sense at all! Please break up soon!

So, that was all the regular gay characters in Hollyoaks. I don't think I have missed anyone. But there are a lot more to that show! Hollyoaks is really the best soap opera to watch if you are a faghag!

Hollyoaks beauty!

Ross Adams, Parry Glasspool, James Sutton and Kieron Richardson.

OMG. While watching this I have two questions. One: why can't I by this magazine in Sweden, and two: how is it possible not to be a McHay shipper?! Just look at them! Look att James Sutton and Kieron Richardson having a major bromance! Not convinced? Ok, look at this:

Beauty.

It is just so obvious that they do like eachother! James has been quite clear about being a McHay shipper and and actually, it was Kieron's idea to get Ste and John Paul together because he wanted to be a McQueen. I meen, who wouldn't? Well, that leaves Scott and Harry, and I am not sure about that, but I don't hate the idea. I like Scott, nowdays, and I like Harry so I am open for trying it. I mean, it can't be worse than Starry! Mchay ftw!

Scott Drinkwell

Ross Adams as Scott Drinkwell in Hollyoaks.

I have to say that I've changed my oppinion about Scott Drinkwell. He's actually a lot of fun! I enjoy watching him nowdays and I am really looking forward to Scott finding a love interest. I actually wouldn't mind seeing him having a thing with Ste or John Paul. But nothing more than a fling, because Ste and John Paul will be meeting eachother on Christmas day! And as you know, I really don't enjoy Starry. Even though I would want to.

And speaking of Ste and Scott, it is said that Sinead's last episode is tomorrow. I really don't mind at all!

Annoying

I am really quite annoyed by Hollyoaks. I mean, what are you doing to all the storylines?! First this HIV business, then John Paul snogged Harry and then the dreadful Scott came along! And don't even mention the kerfuffle with Sinead! And then John Paul BROKE UP with Ste! Ok, I do understand him, Ste is really utterly stupid right now, and John Paul really deserves better, but anyway! And we all know that Ste is going to hook uo with Harry, and I hate that. It really doesn't rime well in my ears. And then this is going to happen:

I mean, WTF?! Why oh why?! Ok, it's James himself who decided to leave Hollyoaks, but why?! The tranny storyline about Dylan has just started! I was so excited abou that that I kind of hope that they will recast him. I mean, that is not that uncommon in soaps, and Hollyoaks is no exception. Both Darren, Cindy, Holly and Harry has been recasted through the years. I really do think that that is a too important storyline just to scrap like that. Please, Hollyoaks, please!

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay and James Sutton as John Paul McQueen.

At least we can hope for this. And I really do hope that McHay will be reunited. I really didn't think I would like John Paul and Ste together but I really do! I think they are really cute and that they have amazing chemistry. I mean, if Brendan Brady will never return to Ste, John Paul McQueen is the second best thing. And also, I really think that they will meet under the archway at Christmas day. James Sutton has insinuated it, and really, it is served to us like they will. Don't blow this Hollyoaks!

A new character

Ross Adams as Scott Drinkwell.

Hollyoaks has introduced yet another gay character, that is Scott Drinkwell played by Ross Adams. And I really don't like him!Sorry, but I just don't. He is so annoying! Scott is Sineads cousin, and that says just about it all. Sinead is just awful if you ask me! Currently, she is in love with Ste and that can only end in disaster. It always does when Sinead is involved. Ste and John Paul do not need any more kerfuffel! The spoilers says:
 

The newcomer's antics will cause further problems for the already-complicated situation between Sinead, Ste Hay and John Paul McQueen. Sinead is currently expecting Ste's baby, which has caused tension for the chef's marriage to John Paul.

Dreadful! And I also read something about Scott being cozy with Harry and I don't want that either! If Scott absolutely has be cozy with any of the other gay character, he has to shape up a wee bit and don't be such a conspirator! He is not nice at all!

But there are some Dylan spoilers that are more interesting:

Meanwhile, Nico and Dylan plot revenge on bullies Aiden and Kyle. It backfires when Aiden and Kyle catch Dylan pouring pasta sauce into their kit bags and they pour it over him instead. Dylan comforts himself by trying on Grace's clothes.

Meanwhile, Dylan's secret looks set to be revealed when Trevor finds a lacy bra in his bag.

Poor Dylan...
