Oh, I have to confess. I haven’t view it in years. I kept up with it, because I simply had to know if they were ever going to verb James again and return him to the man we all know and love. But all of his storylines after Harry’s death were just bull. So Out of Character, badly written etc. And well…now he’s dead.
So, I have no notion what is even happening anymore.
I execute think the exhibit is on its last legs and ending soon.
I know they hold lucas and dillon, but it never caught my attention.
And Ste and John Paul are still there, but alas, don’t care much about them anymore either.
I assume whatever HO is creating it’s not really going to fly high. It certainly isn’t even making a ripple on the gayest social media platfrom there is.
The show and their dedication to killing off characters and destroying trendy pairings pretty much guarentees that people won’t want to get invested in anyt

4. M EXCLUSIVE chat with Metro. You can’t think Hollyoaks without thinking LGBTQ+. Synonymous with years of representation, groundbreaking storylines and character journeys, as well as iconic ships that have had audiences over several generations in a tizzy, the Channel 4 soap is an ally and then some. Now approaching its 30th anniversary, Hollyoaks boasts a history of fantastic gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and non-binary characters, all who own been at the centre of storylines both focusing on their gender identity and sexual orientation but, just as crucially, not. As show stalwart Kieron Richardson said when we sat down for a chat on put recently, the characters ‘just are – they can be lead characters at the forefront of the show. ‘It’s not like, “We’re going to have a gay one, we’re going to include a lesbian in it or a trans person,” they were just verb characters. They had stories and their sexuality was just a part of them, it was never that this was a focal point of why they were in t Soap operas have always held a particular place in my heart. Growing up, I sought solace in soap operas, finding the enormous emotions of All My Children’s extended suffering Erica Kane the perfect parallel to the vast emotions I was dealing with as a queer kid. The powerful women and the seductive men offered an escape from a reality that was sometimes difficult to accept. I didn’t see myself reflected in the characters, but this was something I didn’t mind as a kid. After all,I was still learning to accept myself.
