Hollyoaks/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: A lot of Jacqui's ~~behaviour~~, mood-swings and why her preferred mood of talking involves screaming at people, actually makes a ''lot'' more sense if you interpret her as having an undiagnosed case of severe manic-depression or borderline personality disorder.

* [[Arc Fatigue]]: The Jacqui and Gilly rape drama. It started out as an interesting storyline due to the fact that the rape drama was showed from both points of view, and that Hollyoaks fans were offered the chance to work behind the scenes to decide if Gilly would be found guilty or not. He wasn't, and the aftermath was dealt with in an impressively realistic manner. Then it went on. And on. And on. Episodes consisted of Jaqcui bleating ''E' RAPED MEH' in the streets, and Gilly being tormented by most of his peers despite the fact he had been found innocent. While impressive drama, most viewers agreed that it went on for far too long.

** Unfortunately above storyline has made a recent return, on Gilly coming back to the village. Although it's Rhys, Jaqcui's other half, who is going around screaming that he raped her.

** For some, Silas's reign of terror which has stretched out to almost a year now.

Line 7:

* [[Complete Monster]]: Finn O'Connor is possibly [[Teens Are Monsters|the most evil teenager]] in the history of soap operas. He rapes John Paul out of [[Straw Hypocrite|homophobia]], hospitalizes Blessing partly because he'd just found out she's transgender and partly to act out the sick stuff he'd been watching on his computer, tries to rape Nancy, blackmails a witness into keeping quiet by threatening to do the same to him, and at his trial he claims John Paul was the one that sexually abused him.

** Pete Buchanan is a sick pedophile who sexually assaulted Porsche McQueen when she was 15 years old and subjected her younger sisters, Celine and [[The Woobie|Cleo]] to varying levels of abuse. He later successfully manipulates his way back into Cleo's life and does everything he can to make sure she has no life or friends outside of him even after his true nature is exposed. Perhaps the worst thing about him is he acts like his treatment of Cleo is perfectly normal.

** [[Depraved Homosexual|James Nightingale]] is a ruthless lawyer prepared to do anything to get what he wants. After persuading Harry to sell his body to him, he blackmails the later's father Tony into selling his restraint to him by having Harry brutally beaten up and threatening to take things further if he doesn't comply. He also repeatedly harasses Harry for sexual favors.

* [[Critical Research Failure]]: The ~~streetlighting~~ on the set - which does not, as far as we know, appear in Cheshire.

* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: The Jasmine/Jason storyline. Goes very much into this territory. On occasions, the storyline has been accused of turning the show into a [[Sadist Show]].

** Gilly is not only shown to be innocent when Jacqui accused him of rape, but the implication is that she slept with him to get back at Rhys. Gilly is chased out of the village, despite being innocent, but Jacqui is allowed to repeatedly call herself the Woobie as a result. And she ''doesn't'' care.

Line 16:

* [[Fan Myopia]]

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Among those watching the show as a [[Guilty Pleasure]] worthy of mocking, anyway. Popular in forums, as some cast members are easily defined by one unique feature/personality trait; among them: "Speak n Spell" (Sasha), "Potato Head" (Zak), "Skoda" (Mercedes), "Bitchtits" (Justin), "Dull & Duller" (Tina and Dom), "[[Star Trek|Spock]]" (Ste), "Easter Island"/"Angry Pederast" (Warren), and "Rubbish Tranny" (Kris).

* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: Sarah Barnes dies when she goes parachuting & both parachutes fail. As she plummets to the ground, the camera stays with her for ''several minutes'' as she realises she's going to die & helplessly screams for help. The camera only cuts away several seconds before impact.

The camera only cuts away several seconds before impact.

** The above scene is made even worse when the camera pulls back, and if you've got a sharp eye, you can see blood staining the stalks of corn in the field where she fell. Covering quite a wide area.

** Rae is strangled by Silas just feet away from where her friend Theresa and crush Will are kissing. She tries to call out for help, but ''can't''.

Line 28:

** There's 'Stendan' for Ste/Brendan, and 'Stug' has become the name for Ste/Doug.

* [[Purity Sue]]: Amy Barnes is becoming one of these.

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: For many, [[Fille Fatale|Ruby]] was redeemed for her past ~~behaviour~~ due to how badly she was treated by [[Alpha Bitch|Maddie]] for no good reason. Some even want her bitchy ~~behaviour~~ to return, just so she can get even.

* [[The Scrappy]]: A recent poll from ''Inside Soap'' asked readers who they would prefer to survive Silas's reign of terror, and who they they wanted to die. [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Leanne]] and [[Fille Fatale|Ruby Button]] were the most voted to be his next victim.

** Phoebe, the ungrateful brat from the streets who hasn't had an ounce of character development in all the time she's been on the soap. Yes, Hollyoaks writers, we get that she has a dark and tragic past that's made her the complete cow she is today, but the same old act gets old. Someone is nice to Phoebe > she's ungrateful > she steals something/screws them over. Repeat. For many it came to a head when she sneered and made fun of the fact that Ash, a perfectly nice girl she had never met, might have died overnight.

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: The current (2011/2012) sixth formers have a ~~tendancy~~ of taking the spotlight away from emotional scenes - the memorial for Silas's victims playing second fiddle to the Bart/Sinead relationship; and [[Fan-Preferred Couple|Darren & Nancy 's wedding]] getting upstaged by the Johno/Ruby relationship are the two biggest offenders.

** The McQueen family, you can guarantee that at least one of their members will be in a current storyline.
