We all know that if you need a bit of crazy drama in your daily life, then head to
Hollyoaks. Not physically, as you may be at risk of being seriously injured by a (little) Big Bob or stalked by Sienna - but from the comfort of your sofa's - head on over and watch other people's dramas unfold before you.
This week's hospital siege was not only dramatic in the sense of guns and hostages, but in new love twists.
In my opinion, this was just what Hollyoaks needed. Seriously...
Sure, we have Tony and Sinead, along with Dodger, Maxine, Sienna, Patrick (and soon to be Theresa!) but these new twists are really going to inject a bit of excitement, I think.
Firstly, Lindsey and Freddie.
'But we've been here before,' I hear you say. Well, yes, we have, although not in this way.
A little recap: Linds' and Fred had a fling, after years of Freddie being in love with her. Even though she was engaged to his brother, Joe. The fling happened because Freddie thought that Joe had been killed by Fraser Black, even though we all knew he hadn't - and the rest of the family thought he'd run off with another woman. Back comes Joe, much to everyone's surprise, Lindsey and he reconcile and Lindsey is, of course, pregnant.
After telling Freddie that she took a paternity test on her unborn son, and that Joe is definitely the father, we all knew deep-down that Lindsey didn't know the real truth after all. She forged a result to show him.
As Freddie lay badly injured, after being shot by (little) Big Bob, Lindsey crumbled. She loved him! We all saw it, didn't we? I almost cheered when she revealed that she didn't know who the dad was and that Freddie had to live, because he could be her son's dad.
Of course, Freddie survived, and in the aftermath, he told Lindsey that he wouldn't cause any trouble. She was better off with Joe. Our Linds' didn't actually look too thrilled. It looks to me like she's fallen for Freddie, and will be the one chasing him...
The second love story - which excites me most as a fan - is Tegan and Ziggy, Who the heck saw THAT coming?
Sharing a passionate snog in the lift, before it plummeted to the ground, the pair had definite chemistry.
Of course Ziggy's ex and Tegan's sister, Leela, has since decided that she might want Zggy back after helping to rescue the pair.
Where will this lead?
I see a massive story on the horizon here, and the Lomax girls will have to fight for Ziggy... He loves Leela, but his chemistry with Tegan has come from nowhere and hit them both like a steam train...
Who's gong to be the casualty of that one?!
