Hollyoaks: In the City will conclude with a two-hour double bill on Monday 18th December. From listings it appears Claire King's role continues till the end of the series!


So no In the City next year - but I expect instead we'll see the return of some late-night spin offs directly linked to the main show sometime next year.

It's a few months old, but a nice little Hollyoaks promo from the channel4sales.com site - just a shame things like this aren't used more often on the channel itself.

Having said that though, last week's events were pretty heavily advertised on C4!

Although I'm getting sick of a new murderer cropping up every week in Home and Away, I'm rather liking the storylines with Claire and Will in Hollyoaks at the moment. Claire is certainly the best bitch in the show for quite a while!


A couple of pieces of news from the website - the opening titles are in the process of being updated and also a Hollyoaks fanzine show is now available on 4 Radio.

I have been in touch with the HOLLYOAKS' production team, and have been informed that the opening credits are in fact in the process of being changed.


- Hollyoaks OS

I wonder if "changed" does just mean updated, or if they're doing something completely new?

No idea - when they introduced these graphics they stated that after two years with out of date titles these could be updated quite easily - but obviously not easily enough for them to bother!

Since they were introduced though a new production team has come on board - so perhaps they will be replaced. I'm not overly keen on these (they might be better in a darker shade though).

It's also time the theme tune was updated IMO - this version feels quite dated now - though it is about four years since they introduced it!

Maybe it would be better to have different titles every year, bit like Neighbours? I would like that but maybe thats going a little way off normal.

Clare has got to win best bitch at the Soap Awards next year!

What, when she's up against the likes of Stacey from EastEnders! Evil or Very Mad

Andy was by far the most evil villian in soap over recent years, but with Hollyoaks you just have to acknowledge that your opinion is far more important than the readers of What's on EastEnders!

You are quite right. The ratings are showing that it is gaining support though. Nearly every episode for a while has got 2million or more.

Actually in the long term Hollyoaks had probably held on to it's audience far more successfully than the big three!

No way. Mad Maya was by far the best villan. Id say Andy is the best villan Hollyoaks has ever had though, and he made the final 4.

That's well sick, what Will did at the end of last night's episode on E4 with the webcam.... (tonight's C4). I hope Zak, or someone catches, him soon - Zoe must suspect Will who trashed her room… surely??!!

Surely she'd notice the big hole in the photo!

I'm quite liking this story (in a sick kind of way!) but I guess it inevitably means that at least one of the students will be leaving sooner rather than later.
