He was doomed the minute he was born really, but Jake and Nancy are set to be devistated by the news that Charlie is suffering from Lukemia - which presumably handily brings the issue of Charlie's real father back into the frame.


Interesting. Jake's character is turning very nasty nowadays!

Yes, he's going the way of Will, and needs to be locked up.

And, what a surprise, Frankie flies off the handle again. They really don't like this character do they? Always getting her to believe in the wrong.

Well good work from the NHS!


Within hours of Charlie being rushed into hospital, it's established he has leukaemia, there is no bone-marrow match on the national data base, Jake isn't a match and that he's not the father either!

E4 pace:

Well, he's not quite left the show yet but it looks like he's left Hollyoaks. Wasn't fully expecting that tonight and although we've known for quite some time he was going, it's still a bit of a shock to see OB's exit storyline playing out. It really is the end of an era.



Next week looks good though with:

Niall's campaign of revenge against the McQueen's beginning in earnest as he drugs Michaela up with heroin.

Also notice this week with the Leukemia storyline and some other things they've been using a black sting into most of the breaks.

Basically Hollyoaks plan to have storylines which start on screen and then play out on broadband or mobile, generally filling in the gap from Friday to Monday. However, it's not exactly new - one of the first things Brian Kirkwood did when he took over was axe the "Hollyoaks Weekender", which is basically exactly what this would be.

Anyone enlighten me as to who the artist was singing " Over the Rainbow " on Hollyoaks ( First Look on E4 ) tonight?

Well having seen the E4 episode isn't quite out of the programme yet, although its leading up to the cameo of
Andrew Lloyd Webber


Slightly OT but OB was down our Local last week and I got to meet him and he seems a decent chap, but he wouldn't give anything away about his exit.

So "Summer" was planted in Hollyoaks by Andrew Lloyd Webber - though the idea actually came from the current producers while they were still at Corrie before How Do you Solve A Problem Like Maria?


I knew Summer Strallen was off to star in The Sound of Music in real life, but I'd assumed that's why she was quitting so quickly, not that the character had been planted with that in mind. Probably the reason too they used the actresses real name for the character.


Anyhow, it's something different, but I can only wish her the worst of luck in her new West End role in the hope she returns to Hollyoaks some day soon - as frankly she's one of the best new characters in a long time.

I didn't like the character at the start, but tonights C4 episode i thought Summer was excellent, and the actress.

A lot of good storylines coming up this month for Hollyoaks in general

Yes - and good to see Michaela getting a meatier storyline.

Where did Josh's sudden bout of depression come from?


Anyhow, what do people think about Summer's exit storyline in relation to OB - is she stealing his thunder, or is it a good way to be writing OB out after 10 years?

I think storyline wise it has been on. Are they leaving both at the same time (same episode?). I'd prefer it if she left, and then he went a week later.
