Hollyoaks: Difference between revisions

* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: The character of Matt Musgrove, played by Kristian Ealey, immediately transferred to ''Hollyoaks'' after leaving ''Brookside'' (which ended shortly afterwards.)

* [[Ill Girl]]: Steph Cunningham practically lives and breathes this trope after being diagnosed with [[Soap Opera Disease|terminal cancer.]]. Despite initially having some pretty convincing fainting spells, Steph looks far too healthy to be dying of cancer, with a full head of very thick hair and glowing skin. She's also promoted to martyr status, despite using her illness to get her own way.

* [[It's All About Me]]: Mercedes McQueen in spades. Because we are supposed to feel sorry for her, despite the fact she learnt her lesson on how her actions affect others, when despite being unfaithful to him and treating him badly, Malachy still willingly sacrificed himself to save her from an explosion. Mercedes then promptly seemed to forget him, got engaged a month later and then cheated on her fiancee, Riley with his ''dad''. This is never indicated either to be a result of losing Malachy either, she seemingly just forgets him. When she has the baby and the truth of her infidelity to Riley comes out, she promptly complains that Riley is later wrong to show attraction to other women, despite the fact that ''she'' cheated on him and it was clearly ''her'' fault.

** Jacqui McQueen. Do we even need to explain how much of a self-centred, arrogant, hypocritical, [[Karma Houdini|bitch]] she frequently shows herself to be?

* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]

* [[Record Needle Scratch]]: The follow exchange between Darren and Frankie is set to pretty music.

'''Darren''': They're mine. *[[Record Needle Scratch]]* }}

* [[Recurring Riff]]: Hollyoaks has a short guitar riff at the start and the end of an episode.
