Hollyoaks is something I do like watching on a weekday, and is mildly entertaining. Sure it is in the shadow of EastEnders and Coronation Street, and doesn't always tackle the serious issues conveyed in those two soaps. But it is a good soap opera, directed mainly at teenagers. (I am a teenager, so that may explain why I like it) Yes, sometimes the writing's a bit clumsy, and the acting is rather amateurish. Though I do like Gemma Merna as Carmel, she is very funny in a quirky sort of way, and I have always liked Gemma Bissix's Clare Devine.(aka Cunningham) Hollyoaks have recently been brave with dealing with serious issues like drugs and teenage pregnancies, not to mention Hannah's annorexia, and that is commendable. I will confess some of the climax episodes have been rather disappointing, Warren's death certainly could have been done much better. Still, I do like it, it is mildly entertaining. 7/10 Bethany Cox.
