It'll be Alright on the Night...

10/2/2012 15:56:00

What’s that sound, off in the distance?

Could it be wedding bells? Or is it, rather, the sound of a major DING-DONG on the horizon?

Busy organising the perfect Valentine’s Day wedding, Darren's neglected on one minor component – making sure the bride turns up!!!

In a major case of sticks and wrong ends, Nancy saw Darren kissing Cindy goodbye last night and now she thinks they’re having an affair…

To make matters worse, that arl biddy Margaret's been in her ear all week, dropping her poison...

How do you think it's all gonna pan out?

We always knew our Jorgie was a stunner, but we've never seen her looking like she does in this amazing photoshoot for Pillow Magazine...

How BEAUTIFUL is Jorgie P?

As flawless as a porcelain doll...

So delicate and feminine...

And here's the video from Jorgie's photoshoot. So beautiful yet understated it almost hurts...

Dirty Dancing: No One Puts Brady in the Corner

Some things are too good to watch just once.

That's why, when we saw this, we just couldn't keep it to our ourselves...

"Eye contact, eye contact".

Yep, whilst Nancy thinks Darren's away having a regular old affair with a member of the opposite sex, this, yes THIS is how he's actually been spending his last days of bachelorhood...

Come to think of it, Brendan's been lending his talents all over town this week. As well as being an excellent dance partner, he was also very handy as an interview coach for our Lynsey...

Wed That Man: 10 Reasons to Marry Darren

9/2/2012 15:29:00

Our Nancy's been having a bit of a wobble this week. That's the proper medical term for it anyway. Symptoms: doubt, uncertainty, tendency towards rash, erratic behaviour.

Basically, she's not sure about marrying Dazza. Who put the seed of doubt in her head? Darren's evil, conniving MONSTER-IN-LAW Margaret, that's who. This woman makes Frankie look like a wall-flower.

Anyway, in an attempt to keep Nancy from making the worst decision of her life, we've gone to the trouble of listing 10 reasons why she should DEFINITELY marry Darren.

Regardez:

1. Nuff said.

2. He's got great fashion sense.

3. Er, 'someone' else might snap him up first.

4. He comes from a very respectable family line. Good genes. Just see the evidence above.

5. Expanding on point 4 'Good Genes', Darren's kids would definitely have fantastic hair.

6. He's naturally lucky.

7. He has a mild, easy-going temperement.

8. He's very handy around the house. Particularly the bedroom...

9. Yeah, as if we need to point it out again...

10. Last, but certainly not least, we'd like Nancy to marry Darren if only because it may just wipe the smug look off that dragon Margaret's miserable mush.

Those are just a few of the reasons Nancy should DEFINITELY marry Darren. Obviously, we could go on. What do you like most about our Daz?

Monster-In-Law

9/2/2012 14:24:00

Monster-in-law Margaret in on a mission to ruin Darren and Nancy's relationship. And we don't like it one bit.

Who on earth doesn't love Darren? We almost fell off our sofas when we heard Ol' Margo utter those words:

"Darling, he's always missing and he's got a criminal past. Darren. Who seriously thinks he's a guy to commit, who?..."

What a miserable old boot she is. 'Nancy can do so much better, Nancy has ambitions, Nancy's so brilliant and he's an ex-gambling addict, blah, blah, blah...'

*NEWSFLASH* Remember Jake, Nancy's ex? The psychotic rapist who inflicted serious domestic abuse on her? Hmmm. Pick your moments Margaret why dont you...

But Nancy has been slowly buying Margaret's manipulative spiel, perhaps due to Darren 'always being missing' or the fact that she has no idea that his favourite choice of confectionary is a penny chew...toffee penny...licorice torpedo...oh, damn it, who knows? Who cares?!

Thankfully there is an equal force of power to be reckoned with. Fool the fella who underestimates FRANKIE OSBORNE.

Margaret: "What an interesting colour..."

Frankie: "What an interesting fabric, I didn't realise they still made that one..."

Touché Frankie. Margo... you've just been zinged.

Place your bets ladies and gents, 'cause this is gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better. Who are you backing in the war of the in-laws: Frankie or Margaret?

The Secret Wedding

Hollyoaks and Centrepoint

8/2/2012 16:29:00

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been gripped by George’s homelessness story. We shouted at the TV until we were hoarse when he, Phoebe and Thunder had to escape Deena’s evil clutches.

Thank Jeebus it's just a soap!

Unfortunately though, lots of young people do have to cope with some of the things that George is facing for real. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Centrepoint to try and highlight some of the dangers young people face living on the streets.

Centrepoint are the UK’s leading charity for homeless young people. Every year they provide housing and support for over 1,200 16-25 year-olds, helping them into education, work and a home of their own.

On Monday, Steven Roberts - aka George - and Laurie Duncan - aka his Knight-in-shing-armour Callum, took a trip down to one of Centrepoint’s hostels in London, to learn a bit more.

Steven said:

"Youth homelessness is a very real and disturbing problem - for far too long it has been too easily ignored. I hope through this storyline we can raise awareness and, in conjunction with Centrepoint, put in place initiatives to combat this problem. We at Hollyoaks are immensely proud to be supporting such a brilliant charity and hope to be involved in many fundraising endeavours over the next few months."

Laurie added:

"I'm very proud to be involved with Centrepoint, it's such a great charity which is clearly making a difference in young people's lives."

Hats off to Centrepoint for all the good work they do and hopefully George’s story may help to highlight a very serious problem. To find out more Centrepoint – have a little look at their website here

A Charlatan I

3/2/2012 15:28:00

This was definitely the week of the Charlatan and the con-artist.

Top of the pile was pretend do-gooder Deena. At first, we were like - oh isn't she lovely and warm? She takes homeless kids into her own home and feeds them. She even wears cashmere!

That was before we realised what she was really up to - trying to lure George, Phoebe and pet dog Thunder into a lurid sex-ring. Did they manage to escape? We certainly hope so...#SaveGeorge!

How fitting then that, in a week full of Charlatans, Charlatan numero uno @Tim Burgess aka front-man of massive British band 'The Charlatans' had this to say on Twitter:

"Once again @Hollyoaks speaking the truth. How long till this show gets the BAFTA it deserves for their amazing scriptwriters ; )"

That was after Rhys and new guy Ally sung his praises with the brilliant track 'You're so Pretty - We're so Pretty'...

Gay or Straight?

2/2/2012 14:25:00

Is he a mans' man, or is he a man's man? Confused-much?

It looks like Aussie Ally is taking the phrase 'Everybody needs good neighbours' a little bit too far, flirting with both Ste AND Amy.

What do you reckon: Is Ally gay, straight or a bit of both? Take part in our poll...

Beware the Deevil

2/2/2012 12:24:00

We all let out a big sigh of relief when the friendly lady wearing cashmere offered a way for George and Phoebe to escape the dangers of the streets...

But then this kind and caring Deena lady turned into a terrifying monster - one of the nastiest women in the history of Hollyoaks. Will this be a big enough warning to show George that he needs the support of his friends?

You can join the #SaveGeorge Campaign here.

Please continue to show your support for George by using #SaveGeorge on Twitter, we've had an amazing number of hashtag donations so far - thank you if you've got involved in raising awareness.
