Advantages: Some humour

Disadvantages: Drag out storylines, poor acting

Hollyoaks is in the top 4 UK soaps - however it clearly comes in at 4th position. It is aimed at teens - mid 20s. A year ago the soap was one of the best shows on TV with the Niall McQueen storyline. Now however, the soap is a former shadow of itself. The storylines are weak and focus too much on the kids in the soap.

Some of the lines are funny admittedly but in general the programme has gone downhill since the departure of key characters such as Max and OB. The acting is rather poor in the show now compared to past characters such as Clare. You can also tune out for a few weeks and nothing will really have changed. Storylines such as the one with Ste's baby have dragged on for months now and viewers are no clearer as to whether Amy will ever return and if his mad friends are going to kidnap the baby or not.

Sorry Hollyoaks but unless you come up with stronger storylines that don't play out for so long you are never going to be up there with Coronation Street!

Summary: In last year this has really gone downhill
