Producers of British soap Hollyoaks criticized for being too gay

UK soap Hollyoaks premiered 20 years ago, growing into a television touchstone with a revolving cast and sometimes hysterically overwrought melodrama. One thing the show has not skimped on (especially over the last decade) is gay representation, with same-sex romance and hot button issues (gay domestic violence, homophobia) a large part of the landscape.

About a month ago, Hollyoaks won the Stonewall Award for the "Broadcast of the Decade" for its consistent inclusion of LGBT stories over the last ten year.

I'll say one thing for Hollyoaks - at least they had the guts to do the whole male-rape storyline with Luke. That was pretty fucking brave back then - especially as how Luke's rapist wasn't gay and neither was he. And it handled the fallout from the rape pretty well too.

While I applaud Hollyoaks for its gay representation, its as awful as the U.S. soaps.

by Anonymousreply 3December 6, 2015 10:44 AM

I think Hollyoaks has it's moments. And the annual stunts can be fantabulous. I view it as a guilty pleasure most of the time. And one thing about all the gay characters is that there are so many of them, on a consistent and regular basis, that one need not feel the necessity to ship or even like them for any reason. They can behave just as awful as the straight characters in the village, which they often do. Now that's equality!

Well it is incredibly gay. It's almost as if they live in Canal Street not Hollyoaks Village. If the acting weren't so shit I'd probably watch it.

R6 In their fact sheet on male rape, the New York Alliance Against Sexual Assault quotes from a research study on the rape of males (listed in the footnotes), writing:

[quote] There are many reasons that male victims do not come forward and report being raped, but perhaps the biggest reason for many males is the fear of being perceived as homosexual. However, male sexual assault has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the attacker or the victim, just as a sexual assault does not make the victim survivor gay, bisexual or heterosexual. It is a violent crime that affects heterosexual men as much as gay men. The phrase "homosexual rape," for instance, which is often used by uninformed persons to designate male-male rape, camouflages the fact that the majority of the rapists are not generally homosexual (Donaldson, 1990).

I'm laughing just remembering watching this show religiously after college and work, back in the 2000's when it was even more heinous but a lot less outlandish. It's charming, precisely because of absurd melodrama and shouty characters, and I've always liked it more than other UK soaps because the characters are more emotionally wild, and get unpredictable developments season to season (including sexually). HO doesn't take itself too seriously or stay too far inside the box, or even pretend to any continuity or quality.

I liked the writing and scenes for Craig and Dean, and the slow-burn of the plot (an odd direction for a usually ADD show) but it was hard to watch due to Craig's sometimes nasty and rough treatment of JP, and also Craig's character 180, but I get that it was done that way to show the emotional pressure of his coming out, as well as the fact they were both passionate teens caught in a bad situation. They were both at their most compelling in their little, happy scenes together (Craig gifting JP the watch is a lovely and delicately played moment that still stands out to me), and considering they later both admitted to being uncomfortable kissing, they really sold their physical chemistry well. I can’t believe this storyline is 10 years old, now, it still holds up pretty well as the best thing HO ever did.

I used to crush on Darren (played by Ashley Taylor Dawson), the son of Jack and the informal Big Brother figure to Craig. He made a delicious bartender, and used to constantly tease Craig for getting wound up about every little thing; at one point Darren was the only easygoing, comedic character in the whole show. I thought they'd end up writing him a gay storyline (he already had the camp and the style down), but in retrospect it obviously wouldn't have worked, since he clearly relished running through women and this worked well for various plots. I think it was his accent I was into, combined with his cheeky smirks, playboy antics and crazy boyband hair.

I caught HO recently (hence this post) and was suprised to see both JP and Darren still in it? Darren looks have changed (bulked up, tanned, preppy outfits), and he is strangely married to SJW Nancy and seems dull as dishwater now. JP’s storyline seems weird and upsetting, idk.

R19 If you don't care about participating in discussion forums and such, you can watch Hollyoaks "legally" on Hulu, with it being just two weeks behind the actual UK broadcast. e.g. right now the latest episode is dated January 11, 2016. I think they've currently got almost two years of history going back to 2013

Otherwise you can find pirate channels on youtube that upload the current show. These sometimes get shut down. The channel with the best quality and most consistent uploads I've found is on the channel run by "Price SliceTwo".

JP's kinda been in a dull "holding pattern" ever since he married Ste, with the duo deciding to separate and wait till Christmas to decide that to do about their failed union. Now that that relationship appears to be over, I'm thinking JP might get a new love interest. Harry and Ste were recently seen gossiping at the caf and believe the new James Nightingale character is gay, so perhaps he's on tap for JP.

As for Ashely Taylor Dawson, I think he kind of bulked up and got tan when he was Strictly Come Dancing a couple years ago. ftr - I thought he should have won. And I totally agree about Darren and Nancy. The way Nancy is now, she drags his character down. I find her pretty insufferable.

Slightly off-topic, but what was the UK soap that had the brother-sister incest storyline? I think was in the late '90s, early '00s maybe. I couldn't quite believe they went there. Not campy, but deadly serious. I think their storyline ended with them going off together to start a new life where no one knew them.

R32 Hollyoaks had the Rhys Ashworth and Beth Clement brother-sister incest story, but that was about 9 years ago. As I recall, they were going to run off together, but got in an accident, and Beth died.

by Anonymousreply 33January 31, 2016 2:40 AM

More recently, Hollyoaks did the "twincest" story between Sienna Blake and her twin brother, Dodger Savage. These two had been separated early on and were unaware of each other; but somehow ended up having at sex 13, with Sienna becoming pregnant and having a daughter that was taken away from her by her father, Patrick. Years later, when Dodger found out, he was sickened by the reveal, but insane Sienna wanted to reunite with him in every sense of the word and held her brother hostage. Many thought Hollyoaks would eventually undo the incest factor and that somehow the daughter born from it, Nico, would not be Dodger's after all , but they never have. Teenage Nico bears the scars of thinking she's a "weirdo" as a product of incest and has become a serial killer herself. I believe she's up to three dead bodies now. Will, Carly, and Patrick.

R70 James obviously wants more. An can't deny Harry has some kind of chemistry with James. I wonder if it will turn to lust-hate?

But I'm surprised Harry gave the money back to James. I thought the cash would eventually play into the concurrent story about Tony needing 8K to fend off Myra's lawsuit. .. i.e. Harry gives Tony the 10K to pay back that exact amount (which Tony wasted on Harry's college tuition) with the proviso that Tony gives Ste back his job/partnership in The Hutch. With that, James and Marnie's plan would have been foiled - rather ironically - since the money to save the restaurant would have come by way of James. But I guess not.

I can't remember the last time (if there was one?) where two guys were in bed on this show without one of them having some kind of shirt on.

They could also style James a little different. I know he's supposed to read "elitist solicitor" but they could surprise us and show him more casual with a fuller 'do and some weekend scruff at some point.

At least the UK soaps are not afraid of portraying gay characters. American tv shows have a huge problem with neutering, killing off and genuinely giving their gay characters very little screen time.

by Anonymousreply 156August 5, 2016 9:47 PM

I don't watch Corrie, but one thing about Scott is, the character is meant to be queeney. It's part of the storyline, in that they've actually covered how other gay guys (e.g. James) roll their eyes over how Scott acts as well as addressed whether Scott is an embarrassment to John Paul. So at least Hollyoaks has made his queeniness topical. I don't know if I've ever seen that type of prejudice among gays broached on a soap.

R185 I've seen some responses that, if they don't can Clapham, then it would appear to be a double-standard, since they canned Stephanie Davis. But I don't see it that way at all. She brought her behavior to the set and interrupted filming - affecting the other actors, the crew, the whole production. Plus, Davis had reportedly been warned to clean up her act more than once. This was on his own personal time.

To me, this is far more similar to the Helen Pearson (Frankie) situation. Hers was alcohol, but she was driving under the influence and could have killed someone. (3X over legal limit and arrested by the police on the M6.) I know the appearance in Clapham's case is hard drugs and all, but for them to fire him outright, I think there'd have to be some evidence that it's been an issue in the workplace. They could do like EastEnders did with Ricky Norwood (ex-Fatboy). Suspend him for awhile, then write him without much story, and eventually ax him when his contract's up. - jmho

R225 Bart came back as strung out heroin addict, usually homeless or living in squalid conditions.

Scott trying to kill himself seemed to come on very suddenly. But apart from that, it was done pretty well. The things he said about how he is treated, even in his own community, were issues not dealt with in American soap operas.

[quote] Scott trying to kill himself seemed to come on very suddenly.

I think they were going for that message you often hear about real life suicides and attempts when friends and family later report, "they had no idea." And I think what sent Scott over the edge is finding out his bio-mother has another son. And yeah, how Hollyoaks has shown the disdain by other gay characters (like James and John Paul) for Scott's flamboyancy is definitely something different for soap operas, and of course, very real life too. It's been very well done.

Should Imran also become a victim of Buster?

by Anonymousreply 357July 3, 2018 3:10 AM

R357 I'd say, "No.." But I also think the more applicable question might be: "COULD Imran also become a victim of Buster?"

Presently, I don't view Imran as the type of boy Buster hones in on. Based on what we know about Brody and Ollie, Buster apparently looks for "normal" boys who suddenly find themselves in a situation where they're facing some big problem or dilemma - one not of their own making - but something that they're desperately tying to deal with. Enter Buster.

In Brody's case, it sounds like he was a good kid trying to deal with a horrible situation in his own home. He found refuge at the Smith-Kinsella home with surrogate mom, Maggie and near-brother, Damon. This environment apparently saved him, even if it meant having to put up with Buster. The alternative seemed worse.

Similarly, Ollie's also a good kid who's now faced with trying to live up to his alcoholic father's expectations of him. The burden of Luke living vicariously through him weighs heavily on Ollie. And I imagine, just like young Brody must have felt, Ollie is now putting up with Buster, because in his young brain, he doesn't see any other solution. Ollie thinks he needs to be a success for Luke, and Buster says he can do that for him.

Conversely, Imran isn't facing some problem or dilemma external to him. In Imran's case, he IS the problem, and he's the one trying to control his mother. Moreover, unlike Brody and Ollie, Imran's not a good ("normal") kid. Imran's been labeled a "freak" more than once, and he's basically on the road to becoming a psychopath. I imagine a predator like Buster wouldn't target a boy like Imran, because he's not easy to manipulate and control, and he's totally unpredictable. Anything could happen with hothead Imran, so Buster would probably avoid such a boy.

I agree. .. I was thinking about the guys currently in the village, and I wonder if Sylver would work well with Ste? .. Hs sexual history could be questionable, because he looks early 30s, and they've said he was in prison for the last 15 years. (Maybe he had a prison bitch or two .. lol!) I know Simone begins to look at Sylver that way, but that wouldn't stop Hollyoaks from making him fluid.

Nancy and Kyle were teen sweethearts. I can't recall if it was implied that they'd ever had sex or not, though. .. But when they first reconnected, Nancy didn't know or consider that Kyle was now gay, because she went on to make up this lie to Darren about Kyle having a wife, so that Darren wouldn't think that she and Kyle were having some kind of (renewed ??) affair. .. When Kyle corrected Nancy, she was surprised to learn he was gay.

by Anonymousreply 442October 20, 2018 5:49 PM

I first started watching Hollyoaks when Ste was involved with an actual good guy - Doug.

I remember that Mitzee had just been murdered so I only got to know her through some brief flashback scenes. But I remember thinking that she would have been a really likeable character and it was a shame I didn't get to know her more.

Come to find out that this was her winning an Oscar for best short film this year.

It's actually "Mitzeee" with three e's ... The spelling was part of the story. ;-)

btw - She's not dead. She's Maxine's sister, "Anne" who lives out in Los Angeles. Every time Maxine mentions "Anne" she's talking about "Mitzeee." In fact, I think Maxine just mentioned that she's got Minnie stashed out in L.A. with Anne, because of this recent, dangerous ordeal with Glenn.

One of funnier arcs with Mitzeee was how she was one of the first characters to discover that Brendan was gay and having a down low affair with Ste. She made a pact with Brendan. She'd be his beard, if he managed her career. She was trying to become a "celebrity model."

Don't know why I confused her for Mitzeee.

Laurie's handsome.

One thing I noticed was when he was talking to Sami about his legal problem, the writers used words that didn't identify the sex of the accuser.

Instead they had Laurie use the words "someone" and "person." And the other day the phone message from the mystery person just showed the letter "G."

Perhaps the accuser is boy with a crush on him ?? .. Anyway, at some time, I could see them doing the flip side of the recent grooming story, showing a young male student making up a story about a teacher he's in lust with.

He should've gotten a job, a new man and made a real return to the village that kicked him out; establish a life outside of those 2 old farts. 3 months couch hopping, no job, living out of a box? really Hollyoaks? He's in his 20s now ffs give the man a job.

Hollyoaks is a Royal Television Society nominee for this story.

I really hope it wins.

The other two nominees in the "Soap and Continuing Drama" category are Coronation Street (Aidan's suicide) and Casualty (aftermath of the big explosion).

So who died? Did Lily carry the self harm one step to far this time?

by Anonymousreply 541March 14, 2019 5:10 AM

R541 More than likely it will be Lily, plus it's been previously confirmed that the actress is leaving the show. And several of the characters seen on location for the funeral are connected to Lily somehow: Husband Prince, Lover Romeo, her Auntie Diane, Cousins Sinead and Scott, and Laurie who lives in the same flat; then there's Mother-in-Law Goldie, and her friends, Peri and Cleo.

I guess it’s a good thing that Hollyoaks doesn’t do full frontal male nudity because Muslims are cut but the actor that plays Sami is probably uncut. The Imran actor should be cut

I hope they don’t have Romeo hook up with Sinead when Lily’s gone, just because they are an item in real life.

by Anonymousreply 549March 19, 2019 1:57 AM

R549 I don't think HO typically tries to find a reason to do that. Examples: Sienna and Lockie were never paired, and neither were Jesse and Kim - though the actors playing them coupled up in real life. And even though the actors who play Cleo and Joel became an item when their characters were paired on the show, HO has now taken them in different directions.

by Anonymousreply 550March 19, 2019 3:01 AM

The actors playing Cleo and Joel were recently in California on holiday but are back in the UK.

by Anonymousreply 551March 19, 2019 4:24 AM

Another couple like them ^^^ are the actors who played Holly and Jason. They were paired on the show when they started dating IRL, but then the show broke their characters up when Holly hooked up with Jason's twin, Robbie. IRL, they're still together too, I believe.

And Hollyoaks also didn't pair Brendan Brady and Jacqui McQueen. Emmett Scanlan and Claire Cooper were dating IRL when they were on the show and got married a couple years ago.

So I guess John Paul returns for the wedding. I was wondering how they were going to handle the fact that since his parents were getting hitched. I wonder if he'll mention whether he and Craig actually did reunite after the phone call we saw when he exited last time.

Why in hell did Mercedes propose a double wedding, it was literally months ago that she was going to do the same thing and it was a disaster. She shouldn’t be getting married anyways, it’s a slap in the face to Russ’ son.

As I recall, a couple of weeks ago, Davis reportedly referred to the ring Warner gave her as "a promise ring."

And speaking of rings, I noticed that at the very end of John Paul's skype video shown at his parents' wedding ceremony, he raised a toast to them with his left hand, and JP was very clearly wearing a wedding band himself. I wonder if we're supposed to infer that John Paul and Craig got married. (They wouldn't have been able to do that in Singapore, though.) Or, maybe it's a "promise ring" .. lol!

I suppose it could have just been an oversight, and it's actually just James Sutton's own wedding ring in real life. I believe he got married last Fall.

Cause I’m in the states and see it on delay on Hulu, I only know from online articles that Lily dies of sepsis from her selfharm. That’s a pretty gutsy twist, especially for a character who is involved in healthcare; also, quite a brutal end for such a fragile innocent one. I can only hope that Romeo is so scarred from this that he vows to never have another girlfriend and starts running after boys like his dad starting with Ollie.

Given the years and years of psychological trauma that heterosexual Luke Moran suffered from being raped, having him hook-up with Scott might be a rather weird story to sell. .. But I have to say, I really really enjoyed Gary Lucy playing bisexual "Danny Pennant" on EastEnders.

R588 I doubt they'd kill Scott off so soon after cousin Lily. But I agree. The drag thing has had its moments, but if it's meant to be what he does as a career, then it should be showcased sparingly. And he still lacks any kind of love interest.

R593 Is this the connection you're thinking of? From youtube:

[quote] Jacqui has agreed to be a surrogate for Max and Susannah and in an attempt to keep the pregnancy a secret, Jacqui has left Liverpool to stay with Susannah's sister, Lisa, in Chester. Whilst best friend, Katie, visits her, look out for the appearance of two Hollyoaks characters in the background!

The two Hollyoaks characters passing by in the background near the beginning are Kurt and Ruth.

And yes, that's young Alex Fletcher, Diane from Hollyoaks playing Jacqui in Brookside.
