Hollyoaks Revamp

Hollyoaks is set for its biggest ever cast revamp later this year, to mark the soap's 10th birthday.

Head of scripts, David Hanson, is to introduce a hoard of new characters while axing some familiar and well-established faces in the process.

Cassie Powney, who plays Mel Burton, told PA: "It's all been running along as per usual. It's always exciting when something new happens, there's that sense of excitement like, 'Ooh, what's going to happen? Is anything going to change?'

"The storylines coming up are very gritty. They're filming some late nights as we speak and they're really intense,"

She added: "Our family are involved in a totally separate thing. The two brothers (Justin and Ali) are involved in a bit of a drama. And then there's a completely different plot, which Connie (who plays twin sister Sophie) and me may or may not be involved with."

As yet, the characters and actors to be culled have not been named, however, rumours suggest that Kelly Greenwood (Zara Morgan) and Ben Gerrard (Cameron Clark) will not have their contracts renewed.

Yeah I know she's a whinger and everything, but she's been in it years and in a way it's good that she's sort of different from everyone else!

She's no reason to stay now as all her family have moved away.

All her family moved away ages ago and she's been fine on her own. She's made new friends, gone to HCC, and basically got on with life. She seems perfectly settled in the village to me.

I don't like Zara much either! :)

Hollyoaks is rubbish, I haven't watched it for very long but quite a few people have said that it's missing quite a few characters from the days when it was decent.

It needs to get some decent storylines going... I think the show needs to stop concentrating on silly scenes with the travellers, Tony Hutchinson, and the students in halls.

The special effects don't help the show.

I watch the Sunday Omnibus, and its ok to watch when your doing something, but its nothing to put yourself out to watch. Its a lighthearted soap, good in its own right, but nothing to compare with other British soaps

It's never exactly going to big league.

I like watching it on a sunday morning, perfect hangover TV!! (not that I have a hangover every sunday! honest!) but you know what i mean. Some of the late night ones have been good though.

The last late night one was good with Steph, bit OTT though :)

Oh I agree! Im sick to death of Hollyoaks been portrayed as 'teenage trash' by some people! It is one of the few soaps that seems to tackle serious issues and real life situations that do actually happen in everyday life!

i agree, just cos it aint classed as one of the top soaps and dont get as bigger ratings as some of the others, i think when it tackles serious everyday issues it does them well and makes them believable

oohhhhhhh i soo agree i love the whole way that some people can relate to hollyoaks and i mean ok ee and corrie do that sometimes but the things that happen their are so just sooo OTT but hollyoaks keeps it real (well most of the time if your not including in too deep)

Yep I agree with you. Even the little things like today when it showed Darlene going to collect her exam results, and she found out that she hadn't passed and couldn't go to University in Bournemouth... this does actually happen! And it's real to life! But all of the other soaps don't bother showing things like this, which is so unrealistic to life! Hollyoaks can be sooo true to everyday life, while most of the other soaps just seem to have storylines which don't mean anything, and are just so unrealistic and can be quite pathetic and OTT. Hollyoaks seems to be the only soap that tackles real life situations, issues, etc. Brookside used to be good at this sort of thing too!

yep i agree. i think soaps need some of these little things to make them more realistic as theyre more common in life than some of the big things, like murdering your husband! i know you need big ongoing storylines which may sometimes be ott but you also need smaller plots which the majority of viewers can relate too, i mean most people are going to worry about their exam results even if they do pass, and the whole macki bullying thing, that happens as well, mostly not to that extreme but it can sometimes get as bad as that. whereas the other bigger soaps tend to tackle really large issues which only the minority of the population can relate too, like adoption etc, and hardly any smaller issues, hollyoaks does some of these bigger issues but also concentrates regularly on smaller issues that the viewers as a whole will be able to relate to more.
and about your comment on brookie, werent hollyoaks and brookie both created by the same person so that might be why
ok rant over, im hoping it makes sense lol!
