OVERVIEW Hollyoaks started in October 1995 and I started to watch it around 2008. It is targeted at teenagers and young adults, unlike a lot of other soaps such as Coronation Street and Eastenders that are targeted at a middle-aged and older audience. Same as other soaps, everyone lives within a small area with a local pub, local club and local shop where most of the episodes are based. If several episodes are based elsewhere, they are usually shown outside the usual timeslot of 6:30pm on Channel 4, and played as "Hollyoaks:Later" around 9pm. FAVOURITE CHARACTERS My favourite characters have to be the McQueen family, in ...  Read the complete review

I watch Hollyoaks everyday, its exciting at the moment because we are waiting to find out who shot Calvin. Also the story with Josh and the car crash has been ok. That character Gaz Bennet was really annoying at first but I am starting to respect him now because he is totally fearless. A few years back we had the story about Mira's son Niall (who she gave away as a baby) who tried to kill the whole family, that was great. However, some of the acting is really bad, but I wont mention any names. There is SOME good acting though from: Mecedes McQueen, Duncan Button, Dave Colburn, Leo Valentine, Spencer Gray, Cheryl Brady, Myra McQueen, Kris ...  Read the complete review

I have to confess that I haven't watched Hollyoaks for a while now but used to watch it religiously when it was first released way back in 1995. I find it hard to believe sometimes that this soap has been on air now for fifteeen years as doesn't seem that long. The soap is aired on Channel 4 and has been since it's start and remains one of their biggest shows even now. This soap is set in a small fictional town in Chester and like so many other soap operas has it's regular settings where characters tend to congregate. It is certainly more geared towards the younger generation than most soaps and centres around the lives of groups of young people. Alot of the ...  Read the complete review

Hollyoaks is a british soap first aired in October 1995 and shows every weekday on channel 4 at 6:30pm or first look on E4 at 7:00pm. The show was created by Phil Redmond who also brought The Bill and Grange Hill to our screens. The show is set in Hollyoaks village in Cheshire and the main focuses are Hollyoaks High, Hollyoaks Community College and The Dog in the Pond pub. It was announced in January 2010 that the show would now be produced by Paul Marquess who seems to be addicted to axing members. Since he's took over the show has taken a turn for the worst as much as I've always loved Hollyoaks, I can hardly bare to watch it anymore. The show just hasn't ...  Read the complete review

Kurt tries to get a date with Natasha but fails miserably. Sarah Barnes has her parachute cut by her lesbian lover who thought her best friend was trying to steal her. Can you spot the earlier storyline with the later? Hollyoaks is meant to be a village with its very own college/university. Yes I know. It recounts the wacky lives of the residents - half of them are models, with a quarter being psychotic and all having severe memory lapses after 1 month. The show started with only around 8 characters and had one show per week. It was meant to be light and not too serious. A year later and of course the 'Emmerdale' effect took hold, bizarre stories ...  Read the complete review
