Downton Abbey

The main cast of Downton Abbey.

Well yes, about a century after everyone else, even after my mother, I've started watching Downton Abbey. And it's really addictive! I love the characters, the clothes, the actors, the environments... But there's one character I don't like...

Rob James-Collier as Thomas Barrow.

...and that's the only gay in the village! At least the only gay at Downton. That we know of. But he is just such a asshole! I always, always, sympathize wit the gay character, even if he's not very nice. I always think that he's a bit misunderstood. But Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) is not misunderstood. He is just an ass. And I am a bit disappointed that they just dropped the gay storyline from the first season when he first had some kind of secret relationship with the Duke and then tried to snog Kemal Pamuk. Now he's just not gay any more or what? But he's still an ass. So, there are gay characters that I don't like in other shows like Miska in SE, Harry and Noah in Hollyoaks, and Felix in General Hospital (which is a series that really lost me in it's boringness) but I don't dislike them. I really dislike Thomas. And despise.

Allen Leech as Tom Branson.

But this is a character who I really like! I am actually a bit in love with Tom Branson (Allen Leech). I am so in love with him so I doesn't mind that he's not gay. More Branson in Downton Abbey please! I have just started the third season so thankfully there's lots of Branson left for me!

Six weeks of summer and all the triangles

So, yesterday it had it's premiere. I don't watch Hollyoaks anymore because the love went away, but I still enjoy a good gay storyline when it's there! In this trailer it's obvious that it's still going on with both McDrink and McNight. McNight seems to be the official ship name for John Paul and James Nightingale. My faghag friend said to me that she would enjoy a love triangle with James, Scott and John Paul. Well, I always love a good love triangle (in soaps that is, in real life it sucks), but there's just something really painful with this and I just have the feeling that it is Scott who will be hurt here? And I just hate it when John Paul is the bad guy. And haven't we just seen it before?

Sarah, John Paul, Spike & Craig.

Yes we have! Back in the days there was a huge love triangle with John Paul, Craig and Sarah. John Paul loved Craig, Craig loved both John Paul and Sarah, Sarah loved Craig and also Spike loved John Paul, so actually it was some kind of love square. It was really dramatic and Sarah and Spike got their hart broken. Eventually even John Paul got his heart broken after Craig was a bit heart broken for a year. Everyone was hurt, basically.

James Sutton, Guy Burnet & Jake Hendriks.

Before John Pal got his heart broken he just managed to avoid breaking Kieron's heart. Kieron was murdered so... But even so, there was a small love trinagle between the tree guys and John Paul chose Craig anyway and Kieron was hurt. Before he got murdered. Too bad. Kieron was a nice guy. I kind of miss him. Even though I never prefered Kieron to Craig even just a little bit.

Stephen Billington & Lizzie Roper.

So, when John Paul came back from Dublin, after he had sex with Brendan, he dated Doug Carter for while (PJ Brennan), but he realised that Doug still loved Ste so he told him to go and get hin back. So there never was a love triangle there. But then John Paul met Danny Lomax and fell for him quite hard before he realised that Danny had a wife. Sam Lomax was a great character! But she did not approve of her husband sleeping with John Paul. Nothing odd there. But even efter John Paul got to know of Sam he still carried on with Danny for a while, before he broke it off. So a quite short triangle. But still a triangle.

Sinead, Ste & John Paul.

And then there was that awful time with Sinead, Ste and John Paul. I just hate how she wrecked McHay apart. They never were the same again... Girls falling in love with gay guys is ridiculous and in this case... He went for it and that is just so unecessary! A love triangle gone really bad.

Lockie, John Paul & Porsche.

Back in the good old McDean times John Paul told Craig that he didn't want to be someones dirty little secret. What I don't get is why he went for his cousin's husband! I kind of liked John Paul and Lockie together, they were quite cute, but Lockie was a player and there was never anything real there.

James Sutton, Jennifer Metcalfe & Nick Rhys.

Especially when he also, at the same time as he screwed both John Paul and Porsche, also screwed John Paul's sister and Porsche's cousin! He was just such a nasty player, may his soul rest in peace...

Starry vs. McHay.

I liked Lockie though. Another character I used to like was Harry Thompson. I just could go on and on for ages how much I dislike him now, but I've already done that. Several times. So let's not. Let's just say that I will never forgive Ste for choosing Harry over John Paul, I will never forgive John Paul for throwing Ste in Harry's arms and I will never forgive Harry Thompson for being such an annoying character! Ok, I might be biased of the great love for McHay here. But anyway, it's just such a shame.

So, let's face it Hollyoaks, it has been done before. Several times. I don't hate it, I don't but... Can't you just do something else of it? Why not a polyamorous relationship, finally? I don't think we have seen one since Kris, Ravi and Nancy. And at last, I just want to say: McNight doesn't measure up with McDrink (at least not yet), and McDrink doesn't measure up with McHay, but nothing measures up with McDean. But almost.

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?

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?

Missing Brendan

I mentioned Brendan Brady yesterday. I miss him. And apparently I'm not the only one! Just follow the link and watch the video below:

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hollyoaks/news/a792036/starry-vs-stendan-hollyoaks-kieron-richardson-rings-emmett-j-scanlan-in-hilarious-new-video/

Well, I'm with Emmett! Starry is ridiculous and is nothing compared to Stendan! Here's some proof:

Emmett J. Scanlan & Kieron Richardson.

That's genuinly cute...

Kieron Richardson & Parry Glasspool.

And that's just ridiculous. Ok, I'm a bit biased. But I just can't stand Starry! I don't know what it is but the relationship lacks sparks and just don't make sense! So Hollyoaks, how long will we have to put up with this ridiculous relationship between Ste and Harry? Kieron misses Brendan and Emmett thinks Starry is blaha. Do you need more?!

Are you shitting me?!

I found this on Instagram. Is this some kind of sick joke? I am not even bothering to google translate it. They are rubbish on Finnish anyway. And Estonian. But really?! I don't think I could handle some kind of Kalias! I mean, Kalle and Elias? That is just ridiculous! Ok, they are good guys, and would probably have a good time together, but is this some kind of Hollyoaks where every gay guy have to screw one another?! I really hope it is a joke... Anyone who knows Finnish? No, really, I don't think I want to know... Come on Salatut Elämät! How much more can we handle?

Jonny Labey as Paul Coker.

And speaking of rubbish, what the hell is this?! Now when things finally are looking good for Ben and Paul. I do ship Pen quite hard, so I think it's such a waste! I like Paul Coker. I think he is a very loveable character, so this I do not approve! I read something about an explosive departure. I really hope he won't die! Because we want him to come back to Eastenders in the future, with or without Jonny Labey! And the thing with bringing back dead characters a la Bobby Ewing in Dallas, is just so old fashioned! No, this makes me really sad.

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay.

And speaking of deaths, what's this?! I just can't take any more! Even though Ste is not my favourite person right because of that Starry twaddle, but I don't want him to die! Stop killing off all the gay characters! I am hoping for Ste to get his senses back and stop fooling around with that boring Harry. Ok, I really don't think that they will kill Ste, I mean, he is one of the Hollyoaks inventory. But he has bin in Hollyoaks for ten years now so you'll never know!

And speaking of Harry, he might have something going on with the newcomer James Nightingale, played by Gregory Finnegan. I would like that. Anything that might break up Starry is good!

Stendan in 106 inches

Emmett J. Scanlan and Kieron Richardson.

Do you know what's really great? To watch Stendan in Dublin on a big screen. 106 inches to be accurate. Brendans mustache is really big! And that's about all the Hollyoaks I get right now! I've gone from Hollyoaks-lover to Hollyoaks-loather. I won't return until Ste breaks up with Harry or John Paul get a new love. And that's it!

Merry fucking Christmas Hollyoaks!

Starry on Christmas day.

How could you Hollyoaks?! How could you ruin the best love story since Stendan? How could you make Ste choose Harry instead of John Paul? Because that it what seems to happen. I am so pissed off right now! I know that everyone doesn't agree with me, but I really think that Starry is the most boring thing ever! So sorry Hollyoaks, I won't love you any more! Well I know I can't keep away that long, but today I won't even bother watching it! So me, my faghag friend and James Sutton are really disappointed right now. It's obvious that James is a McHay shipper as well, if you watch all the interviews with him and Kieron Richardson. So bye bye Hollyoaks, I won't forgive you for this...

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!

Winter is here!

I know that because the Hollyoaks winter trailer is here! And now we do know that John Paul and Ste will meet at Christmas Day. I am so hoping that Harry and his sixpack will keepp away. We don't want Harry to ruin anything! I really need some McHay again! All other couples are so boring. And there are almost none anyway. McHay for life! If there will no more Stendan that is...

Men för helvete Hollyoaks!

That is Swedish. Feel free to google translate. Words cannot describe how disappointed I am about that statement! Starry is just not my thang. I was so looking forrward to a McHay reunion! Well, I have a small small hope about that being just something to mislead us. But Starry just is nothing to McHay! And that chemistry he is talking about, I just don't see it! Anyone with me?!

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!

Interns

What's happening i soap operas right now? Are there just interns writing the manuscrips or what?

Guy Wilson and Freddie Smith.

Let's start with Days of our lives. Well, Sonny's just left the show and it is already a rumour that he will return. And Will on his hand, will die! Why? Why make a character leave the show just to take him back when you kill of his husband? I really don't get it. An really, Will Horton is an icon in this show! Personally I like Chandler Massey better than Guy Wilson, but I was hoping for Will to be kept alive. Interns, I has to be interns...

Parry Glasspool and Kieron Richardson.

And what on earth are Hollyoaks doing? First they seperate Ste and John Paul, the married couple, who according to me are made for eachother, just to make Ste go straight and start dating Sinead, the witchy bitch, a female, and later cheat on her with Harry, the 17 year old! I just don't get it! Sinead and Harry, when John Paul is around! Please make this storyline stop soon! And I can't wait for Christmas! This storyline is just so bad and messy that it can't be anyone else than interns who writes it. The HIV-positive gay man with a girlfriend and a 17 year old lover. I mean, come on!

Ronny Roslöf and Pete Lattu.

But then there's Lalle and Salatut Elämät. I think that storyline is the worst of them all. Ok, it's not as messy as the Hollyoaks shit, but it is just so boring! I mean, we have all seen it before, and more than once! What happened to writing an own storyline instead of borrowing an old worn out storyline from Days, Hollyoaks, Eastenders etc. The list is long. Very long. And it gives me headache! It is so obvious that this baby-storyline is just a long-drawn way to get Lalle to slit up and Larias to reunite. And that is so what to expect. How about a bit of a surprise writers? How about a wedding between Lari and Kalle? How about not doing the expected? Well, ok, I didn't think so. But such a typical, old a worn put storyline can't be written by anyone but interns. So how about sacking the interns and get back in track with the storylines?

Starry

Parry Glasspool and Kieron Richardson.

Sorry guy but I am _not_ in love with Starry. Not at all. I like Harry a lot. He is a great guy and I really think his worth a real romance, but why Ste? It just came from nowhere! I mean, he had a thing for John Paul a while ago, and what made him go for his husband instead? Because that's what he is. Ste is still married to John Paul, and know he is snogging Harry while he is in a "serious" relationship with Sinead! I mean, what is that?! Sinead is not a gay man and Harry is 17! Hollyoaks, what are you doing? When are you going to bring back McHay, which is the most sane thing in Ste's lovelife since Brendan?! And Doug, for all means. I no there is a lot of anti-McHay shippers out there, but come on. You can't really be shipping Starry? A low-water mark from Hollyoaks. I hope Christmas day will come soon.

And the anticlimax...

Parry Glasspool and Kieron Richardson.

All summer there has been a lot of fuzz about the coming Starry romance, and the last weeks we all have been waiting for the very well written kiss Hollyoaks was going to give us. And yesterday was the day. BUT THERE WAS NO KISS! This was as close as they got. And I don't really get Ste. When he was with John Paul he could both shag Ste, kiss George and even shag Sinead, but when he is with Sinead he can't even kiss a cute guy like Harry without bad conscience. Well, he was high with coke when he shagged Connor and he was at least wasted when he shagged Sinead. But, anyway. I can't wait for Sinead to go away and I cant wait for Christmas day...

Hayden Byerly and Gavin MacIntosh.

And speaking of anticlimax, last nights The Foster's! We were told by Connor's (another Connor) dad, the homophobe, that Jude and Connor were making out, without their shirts on. Why didn't we get to see that?! Well, I know that the actors are young and stuff, but we have been given one kiss and one pinky-flirt in three seasons, so far. And a danceThat is really too bad. I'll say, that to be believable, they have to level up a bit! And what will happen with that now that Connor is going to move away. Do not give us a meningless, prematurely interrupted storyline like Finn and nurse Darren in Emmerdale! We want more Jonnor!

Six weeks of summer

So, the trailer for Hollyoaks: six weeks of summer is here! It seems promising indeed. So, John Paul and Lockie, McBell, will be continuing, and also Ste and Harry seems to begin. Well, if John Paul and Lockie are McBell, Ste and Harry has to be Starry then. And I am really looking forward to their storyline. Everything that splits Ste from Sinead is good. Very good! I guess it can be both entertaining and cute with both McBell and Starry while we are waiting for Christmas day to come. And poor Dylan. I am not sure when James Fletcher is going to leave the show but I've seen spoilers that might indicate that he might die. And speaking of dying, what will happen to poor Jason? I like Jaseon and it's a waste if they kill him off. But Hollyoaks is celebrating 20 years this year and somebody told me that they are going to do that by killing off at least two characters. What a celebration eh!

And don't miss the extra after the trailer where Kieron Richardson talks about the first Stendan kiss and mentions Emmett J. Scanlan! Oh joy!

Hollyoaks, what are you doing?!

I really thought it couldnt get any worse since I wrote about James Fletcheris going to leave the show and the Dylan-tranny-storyline probably is going to end and that John Paul and Ste broke up and we all know that Ste and Harry will get together. And I am a fool to think that was it all!

Ste and Sinead soon to make little Hannah.

If it wasn't enough that Ste and Sinead slept together when Ste and John Paul were in a little bit of a kerfuffle and made a baby, now they also are together! But why? Ste is gay and he will get together with Harry so what's the deal with Sinead?! Why do they have to squeeze that in before the Starry (I guess it will be called that) -storyline? Unbelieveable.

James Sutton and Nick Rhys as John Paul McQueen and Lockie Campbell.

But what about John Paul? Well ofcourse he will start something with his cousins husband Lockie, whom he already has flirted with before, but that was when Ste was a junkie and before Lockie got married. But actually, McBell (which seems to be the ship name) is what I'm most excited about this summer in Hollyoaks. That could be a bit refreshing, accept for the fact that Lockie is married. To John Paul's cousin. Well it is a soap opera so I shouldn't be surprised. But me and my faghag friend are convinced that it's interns who writes the script in Hollyoaks right now. It seems so!

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!
