I wonder if Jason & Robbie will come to Joe's funeral.

If they hold it in Hollyoaks. Sandy Roscoe (who was played by Gillian Taylforth) might make arrangements from South Africa. Didn't Kathy Beale from EastEnders live out there too? I often wonder about Charlie Clapham's appeal. A couple of months back it was mentioned that Bryan Kirkwood saw the Freddie/Ellie relationship as important for the future of the show. So he might be around for quite a lengthy time (in Hollyoaks cast turnover terms, at least a year).Shame its their weakest actor that's holding on.

Well, when you put it like that...Oh well. Two deaths (one deliberate murder), 3 attempted murders (one posthumous!), three cast departures, four different opening title sequences, a slapping, a prison release, prisoner statement retractions, a family vanishing, at least two revenge plots launched, stolen money being stolen and stolen back, a marriage proposal, two relationships rekindled only to be broken again the same day, another relationship broken up, two characters who don't speak to each other providing comfort for each other, dead siblings remembered, Warren Fox deciding which of two people to rescue from a burning maze, a dead character's video, some will scheming and bluffing and some arson at the funfair. That concludes another quiet week on Hollyoaks.
Yeah, I believe she did and now she has two reasons to return, one for the funeral and one for the kids...Sandy Roscoe (who was played by Gillian Taylforth) might make arrangements from South Africa. Didn't Kathy Beale from EastEnders live out there too?

I've read some people's complaints about Joe being switched off very rapidly and needing opinions of senior medical staff, rather than have Tegan deliver the news.I'm grateful they killed off Joe quickly and didn't drag it out over a few episodes
Charlie Clapham was nominated for the Best Actor at the 2016 British Soap Awards this year, having been up for but not making the shortlist for that award in 2015, and had been nominated for the Best Newcomer in 2014. The topic came up on Digital Spy and someone said, "Mr Clapham is an example to all young actors. His performance is a masterclass in how a single all-purpose facial expression can adapt to any situation, no matter how ridiculous or contrived."They put him forward for best male actor in one of the recent award ceremony's (I forget which one) and that puzzled me. More so because I think the actors playing Ste, John Paul, Joe, Cameron & James come across much more believable in their roles. I could only put it down to them thinking he would win it on looks alone.
Gillian Taylforth did an interview for The Sun in June, where she mentioned that she didn't think she would be back on Hollyoaks again and considered working on EastEnders as being back where she belongs. The video of the interview is here:Yeah, I believe she did and now she has two reasons to return, one for the funeral and one for the kids...

Well, they said that Ayden Callaghan said that he wanted to leave. Jennifer Metcalfe did a little Bye-Bye Ayden video, saying that she is sorry that he is going but adding that with Joe gone, it it provides some strong material for Mercedes, which she is looking forward to. There is a nice Facebook posted video of Joe's best moments.Poor Joe, my favorite Roscoe, shame he has gone.![]()
I thought both Jennifer Metcalfe and Anna Passey were excellent in Friday's instalment.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Goldie McQueen, you can never have enough McQueens![]()
Really going to miss Nico. One of my all time fave soap characters. She can walk on me wearing stilettos if she wants to.
Ooh! The Hollyoaks Winter Trailer should be out at the start of next week!Shame its their weakest actor that's holding on.

Nico was delightful though. She was the child of twin siblings who didn't know they were related to each other when she was conceived. She beat stabbed and repeatedly tried to poison her mother/aunt, she pushed her uncle (who had previously drowned his mother/Nico's grandmother in a bath) off a roof and let her father/uncle go on the run for it and he is currently still hiding out incognito as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. She killed her future stepsister, tried to murder Theresa McQueen, murdered her own grandfather and tried to frame her step-grandmother for it (although her grandfather was trying to frame her step-grandmother for his death too but relented) and eventually framed and let her mother go to prison for it, tried to murder Tom Cunningham sometimes...like the time she amusingly poisoned his aftershave, caused her step-grandmother (who was pregnant by Nico's mum's multiple murderer boyfriend under a different name, who was her ex-fiance and had previously tried to murder her sister and had previously murdered his previous fiancee on their wedding day at Christmas, when she was pregnant) to have a miscarriage, kidnapped her school friend and poisoned her a little bit, murdered her mother's lover (whose son she had been involved with) on his wedding day and let her stepfather go to prison for it. Sadly, Nico got deliberately set on fire in a maze at Halloween by her best friend's father after annoying him by kidnapping his daughter (although he's murdered his brother, caused the death of his daughter's matrilineal grandparents and caused the deaths of at least three other people, including two of the Roscoe brothers, the hypocrite). Nico made one more posthumous attempt to murder her mother with poisoned orange juice. I miss her charm.You've never once asked me to do that @Mo Mouse
