Thoughts about "Hollyoaks" - December 2019

Below are my thoughts on December 2019's "Hollyoaks" - this is not sequential.

Marnie got her new tea/coffee shop opened. Finn made a speech after being prompted by Edward, and everyone got really upset. Romeo convinced people to visit the shop with a promotion, and the restaurant was a success. Finn left town due to Edward's action of convincing Sally to contact John Paul. JP told Finn how he felt about everything. Yaz was horrified hearing about Finn's past, but was dealing with it, so his departure was even more of a shock.

Mitchell and Scott got closer, but once Mitchell couldn't be honest about their relationship, Scott ended it. Mitchell has no idea his twin brother is in town, and vowing revenge on his family.

Breda was still not caught, and the families were still missing their loved ones. Breda told Sylver, she believed he was the shooter. Eventually Sylver was released as there was no evidence against him. We found out that Mercedes was shot by Grace and James together. Grace did one shot, but it veered wildly. James steadied her hand, and it was successful. James and Liam started a business relationship and then a sexual one. Liam doesn't usually get involved with men, but likes James as he doesn't want to make Liam a better person. Liam found out that Grace and James shot Mercedes, but kept it quiet.

At Christmas, Sienna found out via a drone, that Brody and Liberty had sex to conceive the baby. Sienna was devastated, but kept quiet after talking to Martine. Maxine spent the holiday with Sienna and the others, as it was the holiday. Damon got a great gift for Minnie, but it didn't mean he wanted to stay married to Maxine.

Juliet and Sid had sex. This as after he used drugs and was banned from the house by James.

Luke's reason for breaking up with Cindy was revealed, and they got back together. Cindy was upset that Luke didn't trust her with the news of his dementia. Nancy's pregnant and she believes Kyle is the father not Darren.

Those were the highlights for Hollyoaks in December 2019, there was a flash forward episode, where we got bits of the show in a years' time, there is a death, Peri and Juliet kiss, there seems to be a wedding, and John Paul is back in town.
