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.

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!

Happy 20th Hollyoaks!

Hollyoaks gays.

So, Hollyoaks turned 20 years! How great is that?! I guess it comes as no surprise that I am a huge Hollyoaks fan! Hollyoaks have had a lot of gay characters through the years. And not just that a lot of bisexuals, lesbians, crossdessers, transvestites and transgenders to. I guess that's why I love the show so much. That and much more! So can we just take a few moments to appreciate John Paul, McQueen, Kris Fisher, Craig Dean, Ravi Roy, Kieron Hobbs, Ste Hay, Brendan Brady, Noah Baxter, Doug Carter, George Smith, Vincent Elegba, Danny Lomax, Lockie Campbell, Scott Drinkwell and Harry Thompson. And many many more.

Gay Times front pages.

Let's also take some time to appreciate how Gay Times has appreciated the Hollyoaks beaty through the years. I think that Kieron Richardson is their favourite. Mine are Emmet J. Scanlan.. and James Sutton... and Kieron Richardson... and...

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!
