So today’s Hollyoaks left me in a mix of emotions with a number of questions on my mind. We go some more Bart and Jason, Brendan, Ste and Declan, Liberty and Theresa and Lynsey and Silas made a cameo. The episode didn’t really get me as much today but it was okay.
Let’s start with Bart and Jason. Last we saw they were facing the barrel of a gun. Bart tries to say that they were lost and looked for a phone. The farmer does not believe them so he locks them in the cellar. Bart blames Jason for them being in the farmhouse and Jason says he didn’t force anyone to come. Bart then turns of Jason and says he better hope that nothing has happened to Sinead. Bart then tried to bash the window out but it doesn’t work. Jason becomes a bit teary about them probably never getting out. The farmer then makes an appearance and Jason seems to be having an asthma attack. Bart says that he needs to get his inhaler but the farmer catches him as he tries to go and holds him in a head lock. Jason miraculously no longer needs an inhaler and yells at the farmer who then proceeds to toss Bart to the ground where he bashes his head. Bart is still unconscious and Jason is pleading with the farmer that he needs a doctor. Jason then tries the: my parents are going to be looking for me and the farmer creepily says they will be too late if they do come. Jason then takes off his top and tears it up to use as a cloth to wipe the blood from Bart’s face. He then starts talking to Bart about how he never stopped thinking about him and that he still loves Bart. Bart then wakes up and Jason puts his top back on. Jason the tries to wipe some more blood off Bart’s face and Bart asks what the material is. While Jason is a bit shy about having taken off his top Bart says that he still thinks about Jason as well. He also says that he still loves Jason. Jason says that he shouldn’t say things like that because it gets his hopes up and then they will just be broken again. Bart and Jason then kiss and we see that Sinead was outside the window the whole time and heard Bart say he loves Jason.
Last time we saw Liberty and Theresa they hadn’t opened their exam results and feared the worst. Well today they opened them and found that they passed. Theresa doesn’t get the same marks as Liberty but they seem happen. They meet Liberty’s dad and brother and talk about what they are going to do. Will asks if they will be going to college and Theresa says she’s going to find a job. Their dad then leaves and Liberty goes to pay the bill. Will then tries to ask Theresa out but before he can Liberty comes back. Later Will shows up at Theresa’s house intent on asking her out and Theresa says yes.
The Lynsey and Silas story continued a bit and is linking itself with Brendan and Declan. So Lynsey is at the store and bumps into Silas and leaves without her shopping. Later she goes home to find that the shopping she left in the store is in the house. She asks Brendan and Declan if they put it there and they say no. She says that Silas must have been in the house and Brendan doesn’t believe that someone would break into the house to leave the shopping. Next we see Lynsey she is getting phone calls but when she answers there is no one. She asks Brendan if he tried to call her and he says no. Then she tries to make amends with Brendan and Declan for her paranoia by making them dinner.
This all links into the Brendan, Ste and Declan story line. Brendan is going into his office and stops to get some alcohol when Ste confronts him about his ultimatum. He really just tells Brendan what he already said. Brendan is in his office when Declan comes in and asks for some cash for the chippie. He then asks why Brendan hit Ste and Brendan says that he shouldn’t have done it. Brendan then says that Declan knows the he would never hurt him right and Declan says he does. They then go to the chippie and then home where they meet up with Lynsey. After Lynsey goes to her room and they are eating Declan says that it’s weird to think that Ste is gay because he looks so normal. Wow what a homophobic thing to say! Brendan looks a bit uncomfortable about this. Later they are at the park and Brendan says he has to tell Declan something. No he doesn’t say he’s gay as per his agreement with Ste. He tells Declan that he hit Ste because Ste was weak. While he was doing this speak he looked really creepy and I would be freaked out if my dad spoke to me with that look on his face. Anyway they go back home and Ste arrives. He figures that Brendan hasn’t done anything and Brendan says that Ste won’t go to the cops. He won’t because Ste says that it won’t help anyway. Brendan then says that Declan needs stability and he’s already found the perfect woman. Cut to Lynsey dishing Declan some food and Ste is all no way. Brendan then smirks and enters the house.
So that was today’s Hollyoaks. I was left with a lot of questions. How can Bart still love Jason if he ran off with Sinead? How can Jason just take him back? How did the farmer not notice Sinead sitting outside his house? Is Declan really a homophobe or does he think that’s what his dad wants to hear? When will the story with Lynsey and Silas finally end? Hopefully I’ll get some of these answers at some point.
