"Hollyoaks" video clip update: Spike returns ... for gay pirate night?

I love Spike.

He's gorgeous and open and sassy and sweet and confident.  He's not just gay, he LOVES being gay. And he has a gay dad and step-dad so possible visits?

I love that Hannah (whom I can't stand as far as I could throw her is STILL jealous of Spike) but neither she nor her parents are even remotely homophobic.

I'd loved to see Ravi and Spike play off of each other.  Could be very hot. Oh the banter and blend of accents!

I'd also love to see Kris and Spike hanging out and flirting and giving people what for on Kris's radio show.

Now that the old "DOG" is gone, I say bring on the gays at the Jolly Roger.

I hope TPTB at Hollyoaks won't make us wait to long to know whether or not Spike will stick around.

Gay 'Jolly Roger' night at the Dog pub is throwing up some nice, funny little storylines as various characters try to work out who else might be gay and what 'gay' means in terms of music choices. There's one nice little exchange: 'Graham Norton - well, yes, of course he's gay'. [character shudders] 'What about Will Young?' 'Will Young is gay? But I saw him in Manchester. He wears a suit!'

No doubt it'll all turn nasty and become a storyline about homophobia as is Hollyoaks' wont with gay issues, but at the moment it's displaying some nice light touches. As for Spike, the current arc seems to suggest that we'll be seeing more of him - very probably with Ravi.

Yay, I love Spike! I loved the odd facial expression on Spike's face when Neville is talking to him outside the pub at the beginning of the clip - it's priceless.

Hope Spike makes a full return for something of his own.

This was awesome.  I especially liked Rhys being uncomfortable getting hit on by so many guys. 

Having Spike return feels so right now that John Paul's gone.  He's such a mischievous character but good hearted underneath.  I'm definitely writing the producers to keep Tom Vaughn around.  Can we say love triangle with Ravi, Russ and Spike?  That would be a great way to keep McDean fans watching!

Strike that... I love Spike. He is adorable. I would love to see more!

We still barely know anything about him, and he's still just a plot device, this time to cause some comic problems for the Ashworths. They never let us know Spike, or see his vulnerabilities. I wish they could have done more with Spike, he's such a fascinating character, Tom Vaughan's a great actor, gorgeous too.

Like many others, I was very very upset when John Paul dumped Spike for Craig, and I am very happy yet a bit stunned by the change in career for Spike.  I hadn't thought it was that long, but apparently he had enough time to go to college, get a degree in journalism, and start working for a newspaper.  I just hope he doesn't end up falling for Ravi, he deserves so much better!
