Langfords Picks And Pans

Blood Relatives

I’m having a problem connecting to this show because despite all the emotional turmoil in the lives of these characters, their reactions seem awfully muted. We finally got some reaction about the loss of his child from Oscar, and I thought the scene where he lamented he’ll probably never have another chance to have a baby was well done. But overall, I don’t get a sense of true loss from him.

And Thomas doesn’t seem to have any sort of reaction to this at all. He and Oscar are supposedly lovers and were planning this new life together with this baby, but they really haven’t discussed what happened. In fact, I really can’t recall any scenes of them interacting as a couple. And that seems unrealistic to me, as if there are beats in the story that are missing. »

'Hollyoaks' Mercedes shouldn't change, says Jennifer Metcalfe

6 February 2012 9:47 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has admitted that she is glad to see Mercedes McQueen sticking to her wild ways following the tumultuous events of 2011. Mercedes was jilted by fiancé Riley Costello (Rob Norbury) last year after she confessed to her affair with his dad Carl (Paul Opacic). She was then held captive by serial killer Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle). Since letting Riley leave the village with their baby son Bobby, Mercedes has faced temptation after Doctor Browning offered her money to sleep with him. Metcalfe told Ok Extra of the new storyline: "It was refreshing and brilliant to go back to how Mercedes was when I first joined the show. It was good to put the Silas kidnap storyline and everything else that's happened behind her, but there are still moments where she flicks back to being quite depressed." (more) »
