What is HollyOaks?

I keep getting clips of gay scenes from HollyOaks.

Is it a gay soap opera?

A British soap with lots of hot gay characters. It's prime was 2007.

It is set in Cheshire in the North of England. The fact that many of the characters have London accents is an enduring mystery. An actor friend of mine worked on the show some years ago. He told me that the younger members of the cast were always having to deal with outbreaks of crabs.

I don't like Summer at all and think this thing with Sienna is a real stretch. .. Oh, and the "Simmer" squad is nutzoid.

They seem bound and determined to put John Paul, James, and Ste in the same orbit. .. Not into that. .. I'd prefer all three guys find someone new, or at least one of them find someone new, and the other two in a triangle with someone new.

And since characters seem fluid at the drop of a hat, can Shaq go bi- for James? .. lol! .. I like their chemistry. .. I notice that actor (Omar Malik) played gay "Omar" in the Leeds Playhouse production of "My Beautiful Laundrette."

R28 Darren's never switched teams, although some viewer were thinking he and Kyle should have taken their psych support for one another to a different level.

That probably would have confounded the seriousness of the mental health issues they were dramatizing, but I can just hear Nancy screeching at Darren, "You fucked my fiancé, and you think I should forgive you!?"

by Anonymousreply 30July 21, 2021 8:35 PM

Speaking of Craig Dean, I think it's been long enough, and they should just bite the bullet and recast the character. Burnet's never returning (which is fine by me, btw), and a recast could actually help create new drama with the other boys in the village.

Craig's not only JP's ex-, but he's supposed to be co-parenting Matthew. When last heard, Craig had been living with JP and their son as a family down in Singapore; then Craig up and ran off with his personal trainer. .. So reintroduce Craig to the village, then have the cute personal trainer soon follow. He'd be a hot twunk who'd fill the gap left by Harry, and immediately catch James' eye. Maybe Ste's too.

To answer OP question, Hollyoaks is a magical place where sexuality is fluid and at any moment a character can suddenly develop bisexuality and become involved with a member of the opposite sex. Suddenly the town seems to maybe developing a similar situation with non-binary.

R34 Interesting, because I was wondering why introduce a non-binary character just to have one of their regulars suddenly go non-binary. I don’t know enough about non-binary, but is that a regular course of coming out, meeting another non-binary person and then figuring out that you are? It seems like that would be something you live and feel from very young young rather discovering later in young adulthood.

Billy Price has been a great addition to the cast in the last few year and is a very strong actor. He and Owen Warner live together and it looks like super fit Owen has gotten Billy to start working out as he seems to be bulking up and developing some muscle.

[quote] It seems like that would be something you live and feel from very young young rather discovering later in young adulthood.

R35 The teenage character who is about to come out non-binary (Brooke) is also autistic and one of the things they've highlighted over the last three of years she's been on is that she isn't always certain or aware of social cues and/or needs things that are understood by nearly everyone else explained to her. I can't tell you that this non-binary self-realization would be real-life for someone like her, but Brooke's story related to her autism has often been about "discovery" -- and after she met the non-binary Ripley and had what that means explained to her, they've written in some *light bulb" moments for Brooke where she now recognizes something about herself that she relates to.

I know most of the gay fans hated Sarah for her part in the McDean storyline, but I actually rather liked her and felt sorry for her. Even her lesbian turn sort of made sense—IRL I’ve known a couple of clueless lipstick femme model straight women who can’t make it work with men or objectifying themselves in the patriarchal world, and suddenly a light goes on psychologically and they discover what’s been missing.

R28/R30 the funny and interesting thing about Darren is that he’s a rare example in soap of a very camp and swishy straight fella. The joke is that he’s not gay, but he acts like the worst outdated stereotype of a gay man, i.e. incredibly bitchy and vain and always ready with a catty comment. It’s actually refreshing to see a straight man with these qualities on telly, because it’s more common IRL than people assume (I was socially teased in secondary school by a straight boy with his sort of nasty streak).

What I did like about Darren is how beneath all the banter and teasing he looked after his stepbrother Craig Dean so well, and even grew to love him. He was a better big brother to Craig than Craig’s actual biological brother, the homophobic and creepy bully Jake. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Craig & Darren are rather alike, and that had Darren been into men then he would have been Craig’s mentor of sorts.

R37 Talia Grant, the actress playing Brooke is very well-spoken, and more high-functioning than her character. I suspect she has Asperger’s rather than classic autism.

As a female with Asperger’s myself, I think she is courageous to tackle such a role. Women like us are very often misunderstood and misapprehended.

It’s a bit of a shame that Grant has bought into gender identity politics, but unfortunately autistic women often fall into that trap.

On another note, James and Ste are boring. And I'm really sick of Ste and his daughter. It's one annoying screamfest after another.

The only other gays currently in the village r63 are Scott and JP. James certainly has no interest in Scott and JP rejected James after finding out his involvement in the shooting of Mercedes. Ste doesn't seem interested in JP.

by Anonymousreply 65September 20, 2021 8:06 PM

Putting two guys together simply because they're the only two who've never been together (e.g. James & Ste) isn't al that different than ye olde "two gay guys in the village" trope.

As far as Ste is concerned I think they should look into recasting Sami's other brother, Azim, for him. .. Recall, those two were about to start something when Ste was getting out of the right-wing group, but the duo opted to put it on hold. .. Just find a hotter guy to play Azim.

James needs a new twunk in his life. .. And if they want to do a dance story, then I'd have Romeo take a weekend job as a pole dancer and have some fellow mentor-dancer (gay) catch James' eye .. lol.

If John Paul sticks around (I'm not really sure I care), then just bite the bullet and finally recast Craig. He is, after all, supposed to be Matthew's other father. He should show up at some point in time. It's been long enough.

Scott's typically comic-relief. Just set him up on one disaster date after another - a few times a year - until deciding what to do about his absent husband, Mitchell. A recast on that front would be hoped-for as well.

Of course, I realize they probably wouldn't play seven or eight gay guys in the village all at once, so not all of this could go on concurrently, but IMO, they definitely need some NEW BLOOD on the gay front.

You know, I don't think anyone in the village has ever made a comment about Summer's missing arm. And in some interview I glanced over, I recall the actress playing her said something about how Hollyoaks wasn't having her disability play any factor in her characterization at all. So perhaps not having the police use this in Identifying her tied into how the show was totally ignoring it in general. - jmho

Ethan from the Chen-Williams family was previously on the show several years ago as a character named Jake. An online hookup who seduced John Paul and begin to fuck him at the school only to be interrupted by Sally St. Claire.

R117 Now that you mention that, I recall that scene. .. I remembered the actor from his stint on the Russell T. Davies, Channel 4 mini-series "Cucumber." He played a supposedly straight character named "Tomasz" who came off somewhat bicurious. As a twink, he had a little less weight and a stronger jawline.

I think Darren and Ethan should bond and get together over both of them being shackled to these women who regularly belittle them. .. They can jointly decide to 'make the switch and ditch the bitch' .. lol.

It would be funny r118 if John Paul saw Ethan and said he looks kinda familiar.

Who wants Sylver to be their Daddy!?!

Anyway, there's a rumor now that -- with Sylver's recent mention that he's moving to Spain (minus Mercedes) -- he could be one dying in the upcoming January stunt. .. Some are saying the idea that David Tag might be the next to exit could be supported by something James Sutton (John Paul) wrote in an Instagram story yesterday about "missing" him.

I've been wondering if a drink problem is what they were going to do with JP., since every once in awhile they've shown him asking someone if they want to join him in a session, or it's mentioned that he has a hangover.

Of course, it would be more interesting if he were doing this at the gay bar and throwing himself at other guys.

[quote] "This is just me making a presumption, but there was a bit of a change within the production team and the executives. I personally think that maybe they just wanted to create a bit of a new stamp. Obviously Lucy Allan has taken over as executive producer. She wanted to make her changes and things like that. I fully respect her for that because she wants to make her own mark, which is great. I have had a really good run with some really good storylines. It was probably a good time for me to leave anyway."

Seems like the "new stamp" is getting rid of hot guys... lol!

Celeste dying doesn't bother me. I'm surprised about Marnie, though. Her exaggerated "reactions in French" were getting kinda old, but she still entertains in scenes with James, Misbah, and Donna-Marie.

btw - The McQueens living inside the old Hutch restaurant looks so odd. What are there? Eleven or 12 of them in that place?

Here’s the new opening and it doesn’t make any sense. Half of these families have just had someone important to them die and they are all smiley and dancing around. I guess Luke isn’t dying anytime soon, certainly not soon enough for me. It looks like they may have recast a bunch of the children. If they aren’t going to do anything with Romeo beyond make him vacuous and eye candy they may as well let him go do another show where they will let him act. Is Scott homeless living under a pile of coats on a picnic table? I think I’m bottoming out about this show. Not one member of that new family looks related to any other member, it’s like they hired a bunch of different actors and said you’re a new Hollyoaks family, congratulations! Don’t worry, it doesn’t make sense for us either! I really thought we had gotten rid of Diana recently, but that was just a lie.

Because it's a "yours, mine, and ours" situation, I'm guessing the show was going for an obvious blended family look.

If you count Maxine, Dave has four kids with four different women. Maxine, Sam, Lizzie, and Mason are Dave's, but they all have different mothers.

Honour brought Serena into the marriage from another relationship, and young Mason is her only child with Dave.

And even Dave and Ethan are only half-brothers - born some 18 years apart with different mothers.

At least Maya’s name is pronounced properly on this show-like “mah-yuh.” I was always so irritated by Maya in Emmerdale being pronounced “may-uh.” It’s never pronounced that way.

by Anonymousreply 141January 17, 2022 3:45 AM

R141 I wonder if that's why they included the running gag of Darren repeatedly correcting Nancy's mispronunciation of Maya's name .. lol.

by Anonymousreply 143January 17, 2022 2:44 PM

R143 Yeah, I think they did it with Nancy 4 or 5 times; then eventually, poor Darren himself even said it wrong (after Maya had been killed), and Ethan corrected him.

by Anonymousreply 144January 17, 2022 6:59 PM

Haha, R144, that’s great.

On one of those soap message boards the idiots got all defensive about how the mispronunciation of Emmerdale’s Maya’s name was actually fine. I think it was just an anglicization. When Mad Maya existed on Coronation Street, though, her name was pronounced correctly. But then again her character was Anglo-Asian so maybe that played a part.

Has "Maya" become the first choice for crazy females on UK soaps now? .. lol.

There was also Mad Dr May in Eastenders who was involved in a plot where she and her husband did a Boy George and handcuffed a pregnant Strictly Come Dancing to a radiator where they planned to give her a caesarean.

The only clip in the new main titles that impresses me is showing Romeo distracted by his own reflection in the mirror. That's both character-driven and funny. .. The rest of it seems rather ordinary .. like let's eat some hamburgers .. lol.

Damon has landed himself in debt after his recent gambling. He tries going to Grace for some help, but this proves to be useless.

Later, a drunken and grieving James approaches Damon and offers up a dangerous proposition, which could either fix his problems or make them worse.

James and Damon have made a high-stakes bet and they anxiously await the result. Another gamble soon makes things even more interesting.

Tonight’s episode marked the writing debut of Daniel Alexis-Rochefort, whose husband Damon writes for Coronation Street. He managed to get in a reference to Betty White in the episode so that alone deserves kudos.

R149 Isn’t Damon a bit old for James to be pimping him out? Then again they tried to convince us that someone would want to traffic nearly 40 year old Maxine, despite many nubile girls being around Hollyoaks to sell into sex slavery.

R162 Who knows? .. He's been my first choice to play "NuJohnny Carter" for quite some time. Dyer's leaving as "Mick," but whether that means "Linda" and "Nancy" will be written off, who knows? .. I could easily see Parry taking over as Johnny. He's got the hotness of Johnny #1, but could also pull off being the requisite educated scholar type of Johnny #2. .. And given some of Parry's hilarious instagram postings, they could use him to add some humor to EE, perhaps in scenes with sister Nancy. .. Plus, I think Parry actually looks like he could be related to both Kellie Bright (Linda) and Maddy Hill (Nancy).

Instead of Ethan humiliating Ste by having him get down on his knees and scrub floors, he should have had Ste down on his knees servicing him. He'd keep Ste in line by having video of it that he'd threaten to send to James.

It seems like they're trying to make Ethan a "Liam Donovan-type character," so it would make sense if he were bisexual. That way, Ethan could be screwing around with both Sienna and Ste, literally.

If they go through with James and Ste getting married, then they might as well just kill James off, cuz I don't think they'll ever get rid of Ste.

And what's John Paul's purported "big story." A personality transplant? He's another McQueen who should buy a one-way ticket to Alicante.
