I think considering there are no episodes until a triple bill on Boxing Day E4 will always remain ahead, and I think Hollyoaks on C4 is finished by 7pm anyway.

9 days later

Brilliant episode tonight on E4 regarding the paedophile storyline.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is to appear in three shows at the end of January as Summer decides to follow him in the hope of winning a West End role.

Brilliant new promo aired before tonight's E4 screening - quite a lengthy one too featuring most of the cast "behind the scenes". Quite reminisent of "the one to watch" promos 7 did down under. Catch it on E4+1 at 7.55pm if you're quick!


Also, however many break-ups there are in Hollyoaks and soaps in general, none are as effective as when it's Max and OB.


P.S. Great to see Kathy going mad again too - looking forward to her exit storyline.

Thanks for that - I'll be on the look out then for a longer one. Anyone know when they began?


EDIT: Longer one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXQtIbHjlNc

Two and a half minutes that longer one - brilliant promo.


One thing bugging me - who's the bloke in the red top, seen sitting at the table and then dancing in a line with four others. Played it a few times and still can't place him!

It's a good promo but doesn't tell viewers much about the show, does it? Except "these people are in it".

That's the point. It's been a long time since Hollyoaks has done a promo along those lines - for the last few years they've all mainly been using clips out of the show, with the exception of the Who Killed Claire promo (which I don't think I ever saw on TV.)

There's probably been one since, but the last campaign based more around the cast rather than the storylines that I can recall was around the time the Hunters arrived - so a good 6-7 years ago.


It's about building the brand, and nowadays it's about getting into the MySpace world etc. Like the Skins promo last year, this is probably designed with that in mind just as much, and I'm sure it's the sort of clip people will find and then link too.


Another "who is it?" - an older woman about half way through the longer promo. I thought at first it might be Samantha Giles, but I don't think it is.



Only criticism I'd have is that they should have used the Hollyoaks logo at the end, especially as for many viewers it's E4 where they watch the show.

Wasn't there a non-tv-clip promo last year? "Life's better when you rub Hollyoaks on it"
