I have it linked also but it's crap but in a funny way - I never got into the first series, loved the 2nd series but this 3rd one is shit in an amusing way

I stopped watching that shite about 4 years ago - utter wank ETA: I was 'forced' to see a couple of episodes last week and it seemed nothing had changed - few different people but same old.electrogirl

I think you have to watch Hollyoaks with a certain amount of tongue in cheek. I enjoy it, but I also enjoy laughing at it.
They are blates taking the piss most of the time, the intros are becoming more and more elaborate.
They had the McQueens doing Oliver the musical the other day!

YES! He was a judge for a talent show.
He basically played it as Bob Fossil aswell. It was good.

I'm feeling wistful for the old skins
there where a couple of funny bits. and i like that its a bit of a retirement home for 90's comedians
i have faith that it will all come together towards the end.

Brilliant - thanks for that. Turns out it's David Holmes.

I agree, I actually felt myself engaging with this one.
Like you say, best of a bad bunch though.

A bit disappointed by the overall premise last night that JJ could be normal if he just tried hard enough.
Em being the catlyst of have you tried being normal? Giving him a little treat out of charity cause he had tried.
The inference that doctors are not the answer. They'll not listen and just throw pills at you. Dangerous territory / message to be sending. Could disaude people with mental health problems from seeking the help they could need.
The idea that any company would call their pills STUN and that they would act as truth serum conveiniently at the most unconvient time
But still miles better than the first couple of episodes.

There have been 2 or 3 episodes (the ones mentioned above) that were not a total embarrassment compared to the first series. But I was looking at the first episode of Series 1 (where they crash the house party and end up in a Merceded in the Avon). That was a different league.I can't believe they ruined skins.
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Last night's episode started off alright but spoilt it with the cliched wank at the end.
The only highlights -
The bloke playing the twins' Dad, he was brilliant - "If they're not still virgins by tomorrow, I'll hunt you down like dogs", all with a manic smile.
JJ / Freddy interactions - so much better without Cook stealing the focus.
Katie being manipulative as fuck and nearly getting away with it.
No Cook or Effie.

I thought that it was all a little too tidy. No unresolved issues at the end.
Everything was tied up neatly which means as a character Emily now has nothing left to bring to the table unless they invent something new.
Well i guess they can do the parents coming to terms with her sexuality but aside from that. Will JJ get the blame?

I've stopped watching now. And they should be pretty offended by that cos I'll watch most crap.

I think they handled the Emily and Naomi thing really well - it's played out over a number of weeks and has been well written and, at times, beautifully acted. They're totally believable as a couple as is the angst and confusion they've both gone through to get to that stage.
I haven't seen either of the first two series but I've really enjoyed this one while admitting that the quality can be extremely variable even within single episodes.

He's definitely my favourite non-core character this series, closely followed by Katie's Bristol Rovers Reserves boyfriend, who was superb.
