Holy Smoke its Hollyoaks

Advantages: Great storylines, great looking characters, plenty of variety
Disadvantages: Some of the storylines are totally unrealistic

...every weeknight at 6.30pm on Channel 4 and the following nights episode can be viewed over on E4 at 7pm. *~*How it all began*~* When I read that a new soap was going to hit Channel 4 and it was being filmed in and around Chester, as I only lived down the road I knew I would have to watch it and see how own heritage town was being presented. It was launched onto our screens on the 23rd October 1995 and I still remember the first ever episodes as I ...
...always got to watch it after my maths tutor left. The main characters at the time were Tony Hutchinson (played by Nick Pickard) who up until recently was the only original remaining cast member. Jeremy Edwards played Kurt Benson and it was his family that really set the cast for Hollyoaks with his cheeky brother Ollie Benson who later was involved in a dramatic scene. Jambo was a great loveable character played by Will Mellor he was Kurts best friend ...

Disadvantages: far fetched towads it demise

...1982, making its debut on Channel four, courtesy of Mersey Television…the shows uniqueness being how it was filmed in a real cul-de-sac in Croxteth on the outskirts of the city of Liverpool. Its television life lasted until 2003, filming nearly 3000 half hour episodes, The actual Brookside close, or Brookie, consists of 12 houses and 1 bungalow, although only 6 houses were used in the filming, housing the fictional families who came and went throughout ...
...on a relatively new television channel at the time and soon became as popular as the long running Coronation Street. Its storylines seemed to be a light hearted look at the lives of several people from very different backgrounds all pushed into one small place…. But as time went on and the show became more popular the story line did seem to push the boundaries somewhat. Although many of the story lines were brilliantly portrayed, especially the ...

Trouble in Paradise?

Advantages: great plot and characters, location
Disadvantages: a bit too angsty

Dawson’ s Creek is set in Capeside, a small town in New England on Cape Cod. It was actually filmed in North Carolina though. It looks like paradise, but there are lots of angsty goings on. The series ran for 6 seasons. Lets take a look at the main characters: Dawson Leery-the main character. Slightly annoying but he gets cuter throughout the series, his hair improves. He is prone to saying deep and meaningful things. He has a good life with great, ...

Crazy Desperate for Love

Advantages: Good laugh and heart warming
Disadvantages: Show ended at season 5

Ally Mcbeal is the craziest of all the Lawyer Lead Character shows. Calista Flockhart was the perfect girl for the role. Other lawyers and characters also had eccentric and humurous lives. My favorite is Richard Fish and his Fishisms. Season 4 is my favorite and it is also the saddest. It is the season wherein Billy Thomas, the love of Ally Mcbeal's life died. I thought the show was going to end then. Robert Downey junior joined the show as Ally ...
...when he was having personal drug problems. It didnt help the show when some of the main characters like Renee, Jackson, Mark, and Jane Wilco disappeared without explanation. Bon Jovi and Christina Ricci joined the show in season 5 and i didnt think that it was the show's last season. I guess the show didnt get enought ratings so it had to be sacked. My eyes were misty when i first watched the last show. Anyway i still watch it all the time because ...
