Brilliant - from start to finish. Bringing Justin in to the episode was key too - better than it being left for him to find out later. Hope they bring his mum back in it for a bit!

A nice touch too with the body bags at the beginning - you could tick them off as we went through the episode!


I'd heard several rumours on who would die - so no major surprises except:

Jake isn't dead!

Well, not yet! However, Hollyoaks have a nasty habit of letting you think characters have survived and then they suddenly die!

No surprise though that they had the Calvin be the one to save him!




Hopefully we'll get new credits and that on Monday - they should at least update the current ones, but with a whole new production team on board I'm expecting more than that. I don't think the current light blue look works that well - especially on darker shows like tonight!

Time for the theme tune to be updated too as well I think!

I suppose there's always a chance that...

somebody else had Joe's mobile


...that was a theory I came up with during tonight's episode. It wouldn't be too outrageous, for a soap. Smile

A possibility, but they were first on almost all the rumoured lists!


Also, just thinking their were five body bags outside The Dog - yet in fact one of the twins died at the church - so is it possible someone else has died?


Although it was all part of the storyline, some of the smaller aspects of it is what really made it work. We've already mentioned Justin, and in addition there were a couple of notable things such as Max going to the hospital with OB, Jack's reaction to finding Darren, Becca's concern about Jake and even the new characters Chris and Zoe playing a key supporting role.


Just one minor criticism which is basically the one I've had throughout the Sam storyline - where are his parents? Once again Mr and Mrs Owen are off on holiday - why not just throw them in the pub too and kill them off considering how underused they are.

I wonder if Mr and Mrs Owen will even appear in the aftermath of this storyline. I also wonder if the twins mother will attend their funeral? There is no pictures of her in any of the soap mags, just Justin.

Apart from Jack and Frankie most of the parents dont appear!

That's a good point, and it would be yet another good twist - but I have a feeling that's too exciting, even for Hollyoaks. I reckon "one of the twins" (I don't do names, yet. Laughing) got put in the body bag later - obviously they wouldn't just leave her in the church.

I do like the idea of Liz coming back for a bit and having to stay with Becca!


I wonder then if that is the end of the Dog or whether it will be rebuilt as part of the new Hollyoaks set? (and knowing soap builders, it'll be open by Christmas again!)

I don't think Liz is coming back. Very unrealistic, but soaps do seem to have a habit of doing this.

It would be a good storyline with Liz having to stay with Becca, although they did this kind of thing before when the twins had to stay at Becca's.

I hope they keep the dog, its one of the few sets thats been there since the start - infact its possibly the only one since the Cunningham's house also burned down I think.

So Justin now rivals Mandy for being cursed with his step-brother and both his twin sisters being killed - and also his dad killed himself before they moved to Hollyoaks!
