HANNAH & MELISSA STORYLINE SET FOR DRAMATIC ENDING

HOLLYOAKS are set to break new ground next month when the Hannah and Melissa storyline comes to a dramatic conclusion.

SPOTLIGHT
Eating disorders have long been a taboo subject when it comes to the media, with brief mentions of the disease here and there but little done to really highlight the problems that follow.

HOLLYOAKS is the first soap to take the unprecendented step to show a death from the disease, as the health of both Hannah and Melissa takes a turn for the worst.

im glad a soap is finally brave enough to take this storyline on ending a death as it has never been done before, in other soaps when characters suffer they get trated and a week later they are as good as new i.e home and away jade and matilda suffered bulimia they are fine now. neighbours had debbie martin suffering from an eating disorder but she survived, etc etc

wish it'd have been Hannah, would have made for much better drama on the show - but even so it'll be great to watch and the storyline has been handled brilliantly. will be interesting to see where they take Hannah next
