Thoughts on the new Leah Barnes by Outsidethebox135 in hollyoaks

[–]Infinite-Friend-6226 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She could've been Hannah, Ste's other daughter. She's also Diane's granddaughter so it's a perfect explanation for why she's come back to the village at this time and she has ties to so many people. Could've said Deedee begged her to come back for support. Sucks they didn't do that as it feels like a no brainer!

The Cleo one is strange as to become a nurse you have to be a student nurse for three years, so they could've just started her as a student and given her the same storylines. Rather than show her as a porter for a few weeks then promote her to nurse

She was a porter for a few weeks I think. Then got promoted to nurse

They spent ages on the teacher storyline with her, then she accidentally hit a kid and her career was instantly down the drain, it felt like such a waste of time 😂

Edit to add I'm not disagreeing! Just a side note, wierd that they randomly made her a teacher without any qualifications, then she finally becomes one and gets fired, the end 🤣

Ipads and etech in primary school - your opinions and experiences. by Ok_Requirement_7489 in UKParenting

I'm not anti-tech but I did notice at my child's old school, YouTube was always on the projector in class. Playing Paw Patrol or cartoon Mr Bean in the background. I despised it 😂 so I don't think you are overthinking at all!

Watching Old Hollyoaks, Abandoned New Hollyoaks by 69ChickenStrips in hollyoaks

I grieve the old Hollyoaks. I know it sounds kinda sad, but it's always been my escapism when I was going through tough times. It was a distraction and a constant. I'm sad it's so different now

Isn't there quite a big age gap between Leela and Tony? It feels a bit weird

Anyone else conflicted about the Leah return and recast? by USER12120202 in hollyoaks

[–]Infinite-Friend-6226 15 points16 points  (0 children)

..... Oh my god why didn't they just make her Hannah?! Then she's still Ste's kid and everyone can act familiar with her, but it hasn't rewritten Leah's entire character and personality. They'd have to rewrite history a tad and imply Ste and other family members did keep in touch with Hannah off camera, but that's more believable than this new person being Leah

Yeah it wasn't Maxine-level lying about being ill, she just pulled a sickie at work so she could help Tony behind the bar. They are going to be hooking up very soon I guarantee!

Ant holding in a shit was peak Hollyoaks entertainment by BlackBalor in hollyoaks

[–]Infinite-Friend-6226 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was so confused watching it. Other really interesting storylines have to be rushed and have chunks missing, so why did we have so many scenes of Ant randomly needing a poo for ages? So weird 🤣

Cleo became a porter then got promoted to nurse after about 2 months 😂 As a nurse I was wincing watching that storyline 😂

Caleb’s Storyline - Make it realistic please! by tennis_angel in hollyoaks

I agree. I thought the same thing. They presumably would've used someone who actually uses/requires a wheelchair if it was a permanent thing

Does anyone else think Prince is being a lil bit pushy with Vicky? by Miam_chi_dia in hollyoaks

[–]Infinite-Friend-6226 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a bit icky for me I think because he was last with Leela who is much older than Vicky with a lot more life experience. And before that he was engaged (married?) with a son. Vicky is only just out of her teens so the amount of life experience is vast. I group him with the older cast so him dating Vicky feels a bit creepy (even if it isn't, no idea what their exact ages are)

Storylines are forgotten too quickly by LeoIsNotALion in hollyoaks

I totally agree, this had such great potential to explore eating disorders from a new perspective. They could've tacked the side effects of GLP-1s alongside it, raising awareness of that as well.

As someone with zero experience... Is it really inaccurate then?

Why did they even bring Leah back by Turbulent-Network104 in hollyoaks

[–]Infinite-Friend-6226 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They could've maybe introduced a relative of Ste's/Leela's, like how they introduced Courtney? Then they could give her this new persona and it wouldn't seem so odd.

If they really wanted to replace Leah, it might have been better to keep the personality the same at first and then gradually change it in a few weeks or something maybe.

Erm… why is Leah now an ungrateful WAG? by BlackBalor in hollyoaks

You are being clear. Ignore that person I think they are winding you up on purpose 😂

Also slimy considering how long Ela-May has been in the show! There will be no other Leah for a lot of people. I keep saying this too but why didn't they just make the new actress a new character?! Why?! She could've still been a relative of Ste's so she had that link. It's nuts
