To start with, Elliot was hilarious. He and John Paul really went to town in this scene. It is too bad American soaps like ATWT don't incorporate more humor like this. They tried with Casey pretending to be Luke's boyfriend, but the new actor playing Casey looks good sans shirt but he has yet to earn his acting chops.

I love Elliot, and I'm so glad he's spending time with John Paul again. This scene is especially funny when you think about the scene back in December, when Myra first thought Elliot and John Paul were dating. Elliot said he didn't want people thinking he was a gay, because he had enough trouble interacting with women without them thinking he wasn't a sexual threat. :o)

I thought he looked great without the hat and glasses, but I'm glad to see Elliot looking like himself again.

"I'm not a gay! They don't do that in Wales!" says Elliot, the boy with Doctor Who and Torchwood posters adorning his walls. He should really know better.

Elliot is a brilliant character. His best moments are when he's out with Zak, Kris and John Paul, though I don't think they're on youtube.

Does anyone know whay it's not on the schedule anymore? Or are they going to bring it back? It's still on their website, just not on the schedule. Just discovered the story lines and have gotten caught up with the McQueens.

....because in the audience at large wasn't watching. :-(

The Gays Of Daytime

I mention this everytime I comment on Hollyoaks, but I so love the family interactions. In the scene between Myra and John Paul, they're each keeping something from the other, and at the same time each is genuinely concerned about the other. You can tell there's a real bond there.

Elliot is wonderful and funny. I wonder if we would ever have heard Casey telling Luke that he's "rubbish in bed." The comedy in Hollyoaks is great because it lightens the mood amidst the drama, but it doesn't detract from the seriousness of the other events. I also love how they use Elliot for humour without making him just be the comic relief. He's a 3 dimensional character with real feelings and desires.

"I'll help you with your telescope if you be my boyfriend"

That is certainly one of the more interesting sentences in this clip, lol.

Great one liners in this one. That gay tart of Hollyoaks line had me laughing for a while.

Elliot is great. Its good to see him being funny in his awkwardness while not being the joke for it.

And JP is quite the temptation, I agree there with Kieron.

They're getting rid of the Hollyoaks webcasts?  This seriously sucks!  They are just now getting to the big John Paul-Craig reveal, which I've been looking forward to seeing in its entirety rather than cut up on Youtube.

The programmers at BBCAmerica are complete imbeciles and have no clue about their audience.  The Torchwood raitings are proof that American viewers are looking for edgier shows, yet most of the stuff on BBCA is mainstream crap. In addition to Hollyoaks, they should be airing shows like Skins-- riskier stuff we can't see over here.

BBC American apparently thinks that constant reruns of gardening shows are the kind of exciting programming Americans will flock to! When I was living and going to school in England way back when we used to laugh about all the American talk about "quality" British TV when all we were seeing was gardening shows, sheepdog trials, and "Opportunity Knocks"!

I didn't really know where else to post this. Channel 4 have commissioned a series of 5 episodes called Late Night Hollyoaks. Each episode will be 60 minutes long, and it will allow the writers to explore more adult concepts. It also heralds the return of Guy Burnet as Craig Dean.

Hollyoaks are quite notorious for their previous late-night specials. Some people love them, others think it's just so the writers can throw in a few swear words. There hasn't been any specials since Bryan Kirkwood became executive producer.

 I see on Utube that apparently there will be a return of Guy's character - Dean! 

I have never stopped loving Hollyoaks, even though it mysteriously vanished from any mention on AfterElton for like the past 8 months. And I totally agree... there's nothing like easing too much tension and drama in a soap than with a 100 milligram injection of pure comedic genius!
