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.

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!

Awkward kissing

Stephen Billington and James Sutton

I've started watching Hollyoaks again. I've just seen the end of John Paul and Danny. John Paul has just discovered that Danny is married. Poor John Paul. He has not always good luck with guys. I kind of like Danny though. He is a quite nice guy, even though he is a boring lover. But the kissing! So awkward! I mean Stephen Billington, you are a grown man with lots of actors experience! I just can not be that unpleasant! James Sutton on the other hand, as we know, is very good at kissing boys on screen. I don't think I've seen him in any awkward kiss. Except with Stephen Billinton...

A little bit of age difference

Well, if you have read my blog I guess it doesn't come as a surprise that I am a huge Lari and Kalle shipper right now! I think they are perfect for each other. But there are some people that doesn't agree, both in the series and in real life. The biggest objection about a relationship between the two are the age difference. But I don't really get what all the fuzz is about.

Pete Lattu as Kalle and Ronny Roslöf as Lari.

Ok, there are 16 years between them, but that's nothing! Been there, done that. Lari is of age, and Kalle is both warm and kind. Lari has been through so much that he really needs a mature boyfriend, and that is not Elias right now. Just go for it!

Dennis Grabosch as Roman and Igor Dolgatschew as Deniz.

There has been some couples with a bit of age difference before. One of the clearest examples are Deniz and Roman, DeRo. Ok, Deniz Öztürk was 17 when he joined the series in 2007, which makes him born 1990, that's 7 years younger than the actor. Anyway, Roman turned 30 in 2009 or 2010 or something, if I haven't gotten it completely wrong, which makes him about 10 years older than Deniz. And that is nothing! Nothing to worry about there. Maybe when he was under age, but that's niceties. The biggest issue with these two was that they persistated on breaking up all the time!

Carlo Degen as Joscha and Alexander Gier as Kai.

Well, I guess the writers of Alles was zählt like a bit of age difference in their gay storylines. Joscha and Kai, that we had the pleasure of following last year until May this year had a little bit of age difference to I guess. If I understood it right Joscha was about 20-22. Well Kai was a doctor, who had been working for a while, so he have to had been in his thirties. I guess there was about 10 years between those cuties to. And we have already noted that 10 years are nothing! Even 16 years are nothing!

James Sutton as John Paul and Stephen Billinton as Danny.

And then there's John Paul MacQueen and Danny Lomax who had a fling last year. Danny and John Paul worked together and also started sleeping together. Ok, John Paul actually was 17 in 2006. That makes him 25 now. He looks older. That might be because James Sutton is 31. But anyways, Danny Lomax has grown up children so he would be at least 40. I would guess about 45. That means about 20 years of age difference! That is quite a lot, but if everyone is happy it is not a problem. And really, that is just fur years older than 16 years, and as stated before, that is nothing. The problem here was that Danny was married. And, just as an anecdote, he is also Ste's biological dad. Ste and John Paul is dating right know. And Danny also died in a car crash.

Ferry Doedens and Dave Mantel.

There is also suppose to be an age difference between Lucas and Menno from Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden, but I haven't seen that storyline yet and they also broke up so I don't really have much to say about them. But I will see it, of course. Anyone who know how much of age difference there was?

So, my point is that age difference is a phenomenon from real life that we also see in soap operas, and not just with yung girls and rich older men. There is nothing shocking with a little bit of age difference so stop nagging about it and let Lari and Kalle snog in peace. Amen.
