Gays of our Lives (March 23, 2009)

Hollyoaks - After a few weeks off, the bisexual triangle is back in play; sadly, it’s not much more interesting than the last time we saw it. The highlight of the story is the performance by Gerald McCarthy’s Kris, who is suddenly showing some real emotion and heart. Nonetheless, it’s all rather hard to believe after all of his game playing. If the show really wanted us to buy that there are genuine feelings between any of these characters, we should have seen it play out over time instead of having it introduced at the very end. And the lack of chemistry between any of the characters doesn’t help. It’s too bad the show didn’t make hottie Russ the object of Nancy and Ravi’s affection. Now that would’ve been worth watching … if only for the eye candy.

Ravi (Stephen Uppal) suggests the three of them keep
the story going. But do we really want them to?

The Snyders and Noah eventually show up at his bedside where, to their great relief, they discover that Luke is relatively unharmed, but Luke and the Snyders are later shocked to find the no-good Damian Grimaldi, Luke’s bio-dad, at his bedside. Papa Bear Holden’s suspicions are quickly aroused, leading to the question: was Luke’s accident just that or did someone intentionally run him down? And did Damian have anything to do with it?
