Thoughts about "Hollyoaks" - October 2018

Below are my thoughts on October 2018's "Hollyoaks" - this is not sequential.

Cleo and Joel were going to have a double wedding with Russ and Mercedes. Cleo got frustrated about how it became all about Mercedes wishes, and told Joel, she wants to get married separately. They decided to do so, and the rest of the family was upset, until they released Cleo still wanted them to be there. Unfortunately Cleo's bulimia caused the ceremony to halt, as she had a heart attack at the age of 20 due to starving herself. Cleo broke it off with Joel, after finding out that Joel went to see Pete, and beat the man who abused her. Cleo told Joel that she only started having an eating disorder after Joel cheated on her with Sienna. Joel decided to leave the village and return to the priesthood.

Hunter left town for good and is looking forward to a future with Asha. Goldie was upset that her son decided to move. That said Goldie has a lot to deal with as she started having feelings for Russ. Russ and Goldie slept together, even though Russ was engaged to Mercedes. Mercedes and Sylver have feelings for each other, even though they are cousins, and Russ found out about how Mercedes slept with Sylver in Magaluf.

The storm was part of the biggest event of the month. It saw the end of Harry and Ste, and the return of Sinead. Harry and Ste got married, but Ste overheard James and Harry speaking about their relationship. Ste knew that Harry was not faithful, and loved someone else. James had found out that Romeo was his son, and that's why James didn't stop the wedding. Harry tried to get someone on his side, but decided to depart Hollyoaks, as "Creep" played in the background.

Brody and Sienna like one another, and Liberty was upset that Sienna was interested in her ex. Sienna and Liberty being half-sisters were now living together, as due to Dirk's death, Liberty wasn't staying with Cindy, Alfie and Mac who had moved in. Mac of course is manipulating the others. James and Marnie are living together, and Marnie can't stand Harry, so his departure was a good thing to her.

Glenn was killed as the women all drugged him. We don't know who gave the fatal dose as Grace, Farrah, Maxine, Simone, Courtney, and Kim all participated. Liam went crazy trying to find out what happened. Kim sacrificed herself, and called herself the culprit as she ran out of town. At the bus stop, she saw Rick Astley, which considering everything was a funny cameo and way to go. Farrah and Kim both knew their relationship was a mess, and Kim realized that Farrah had feelings for Grace. Maxine felt guilty over what happened.

Due to James being so upset about Ste and Harry, James told the kids about the swap the month prior. Rose hated Tegan and wanted to be with Diane. DeeDee thankfully got better, after treatment. Ste found out about Harry and James, due to the car's bluetooth picking up Harry's conversation with James. Ste was livid, and said their marriage was over even before their honeymoon.

Misbah got sanctioned due to lying for Yasmine, and wasn't working at the hospital. Misbah and Imran fought as Misbah wouldn't allow him to go to Brooke's home. He wanted to see her, and by the time he finished all of his homework, he wasn't allowed to leave. Imran became violent with Misbah again. Diane and Tony thought Rose was with the Lomaxes, while Leela and Tegan thought Rose was with the Hutchinsons. Everyone went into danger looking for the girl. During the storm, Tegan got hit by a tree, as Ste pushed Harry out of the way instead of his sister. Misbah did surgery even though Imran broke her hand. Sadly, Tegan had a heart attack and died in the hospital. At least Tegan and Rose reunited before Tegan's death.

Lily almost also died in the storm. She went outside to see Romeo. The footbridge over the water broke, with her foot stuck in the slat, and Romeo jumped in to save her. To give her air they kissed, thankfully Prince and James also helped Lily and Romeo and everyone survived.

Sinead returned after the storm, and didn't stop the wedding. That said, she was glad that Harry and Ste were through. She had sex with Sami, as he picked her up in the storm. They both nearly died due to the Hollyoaks sign hitting them.

Buster remained in prison awaiting trial, and this situation may make things awful for Brody and Ollie as they will have to face their abuse again.

Those were the highlights for Hollyoaks October 2018. It seems like a lot of people left again, so I'm waiting for a new group of characters to appear.
