mmmm

Thanks for the video link, hadn't seen that yet, although I did see the pics on the hollyoaks website.

I suggested in a survey of Hollyoaks that I did some months back that they have had no lesbian or female bi-sexual character on the show since Gina Patrick over 5/6 years ago and it was about time they did, so even though I think this is going to be 'they are both drunk and regret in the morning' storyline, I am glad they putting it into the show.

Late night episodes look good otherwise, glad they are doing a whol week this time and not just a one off.

Sarah Barnes?

She who thinks John Paul turned Craig gay? Shares a kiss with Zoe?

The Hollyoaks girls are generally a crazy lot, and while some of them are pretty decent, I really dislike Sarah. Even Mercedes ranks higher on my list. Then again, I stopped following Hollyoaks after they killed Kieron, John Paul and Craig left, and Niall went off in his ambulance. The plots have gotten too soap-opera-y for me now. Also, I just wish they'd do more with Kris - they've got an absolutely magnificent character that they refuse to give decent (and romantic!) plots to.

wow will be looking out for

wow will be looking out for this, can't wait to see it. remember years ago they mentioned turning Sarah gay or something.

I'm annoyed that they feel

I'm annoyed that they feel a gay male storyline is appropriate for the normal 6.30 slot, but a lesbian one has to be introduced via the late-night version. Hmph.

Despite this I'm still quite excited about it. Sarah is fit :D If only it could have been with Louise though, Zoe is the least-good looking Hollyoaks bird. Except maybe Jackie. 

I get way too involved with Hollyoaks, I'm a sad indiviual :(

I agree with what you say

I agree with what you say regarding the timeslot, however I am hoping they get to show a lot more than what they could at 6.30pm and I have read a few spoilers saying this storyline will continue in the normal episodes. I really hope it goes somewhere as a lesbian storyline is long overdue in Hollyoaks.

I have to disagree with the Zoe comment though, I have had the biggest crush on her since she joined the show so I was happy when I found out about this story.

If the kiss happens sort of

If the kiss happens sort of midweek to end, they will probably have to continue it on into the normal 6.30 timeslot because they can't just clear it up after a couple of episodes
also, sarahs dad is involved and all that so its not like one of them will just leavve the show
i'm remaining optimistic about this!

and i agree with you! Hannah and Zoe are by farrrrrrr the best looking girls in Hollyoaks, with Sarah following not too far behind
Zoe is adorable :) but kinda slutty if the preview is much to go by.. and likes older men haha
hopefully Sarah will change that for her ;D

zoe = fit!

Ahhhh Zoe is soooo hot!! I've had a massive crush on her for like ever, I've been really hoping she'd be involved in a storyline like this. So happy right now haha :D

oh yay, i don't watch HollyOaks but i remember the dark haired girl (Sarah) being the hottest I think.. maybe i'll watch it

omgsh! i only watched

omgsh! i only watched Hollyoaks cus a) the john paul storyline and b) it was right before Uni so the whole student storyline (Zoe + her bf) it was focusing on was exciting :) and she was cute!! (i so never usually use that word.. hmm) and the other girl i liked was Sarah, she's more my type lookwise, dark brown hair and eyes, Zoe's blonde but unusually i liked her

personality wise i think i preefer Zoe, i duno.. don't reember liking Sarah v.much, perhaps whiny as someone said.. I duno, tbh I didnt even know her name nd iforgot Zoe's, thought you were talking about some new charac i didn't know, didn't twig for a while

maybe start watchin again! thnx for the update. i don't mind US stuff, i mean Sarah'sin the States and its her site, i've got a bit americanised and i like knowing whats going onin other places, but tis nice to hear about UK stuff also (wish there were some UK vloggers, i mean there are Aussie ones (Gamers) right?

Did anyone watch the first

Did anyone watch the first "Later" Episode tonight? Was pretty good. I wasnt sure if I would enjoy every storyline, the Josh one got a bit boring, but all in all it was really good.

 

I definitely liked the Zoe/Sarah/Nancy roadtrip stuff, very very funny, Nancy was on form!! And Sarah and Zoe's fight was believable. Now they just have to make up :)

 

Loui Batley has done an interview on the Sarah/Zoe story.

Cant wait for the next one.

damn I missed it I have E4

damn I missed it I have E4 plus one on freeview, what time is it on? Was hoping to find the ep online but not so far
BritishLily 's picture

I think it's on E4 at 10pm

I think it's on E4 at 10pm but I watched it yesterday on E4 at midnight so maybe it gets repeated then.

I never watch Hollyoaks but I thought I'd check it out just because of the Sarah/Zoe storyline and I actually thought that it was quite funny especially the 3 girls together and when they crashed their car into a tree XD

I'll def be watching it tonight for the kiss.

made_up_name's picture

the episodes are online

found it here: http://www.channel4.com/video/brandless-catchup.jsp?vodBrand=hollyoaks-later for those a that have missed episodes (2nd episode already up), was quite impressed with the first episode, but they sort the niall thing out this week and not drag it anymore other wise it will be worse than the max and claire storyline.

Enjoying the Later stuff so

Enjoying the Later stuff so far. It's already been mentioned, but I am a little bit gutted that the lesbian storyline got pushed to the later slot while they'll show everything else in the earlier shows. But hey ho..

So kiss action tonight maybe?

nikkif99uk's picture

watched the first two eps

watched the first two eps via youtube looks like the kissing stuff happens on thursday night by the look of the previews.
okinawansteel's picture

Well, that was a big fuss

Well, that was a big fuss over nothing. Basically all you saw in the preview was all you saw in the actual show. They were drunk, Sarah essentially just pecked Zoe on the lips, then apologized, but Zoe said she liked it, and then we saw the short kiss from the preview. They cut aay really quickly.

I hope this is ongoing, or what was the point of all the hype? It wasn't even a decent 'sweeps' style lesbian kiss.

WowMissDana's picture

It was a bit crap! Bit

It was a bit crap! Bit typical that they showed a heterosexual couple having quite graphic sex in the toilets, then with this they cut away as soon as something happens.
BritishLily 's picture

Yeah the kiss was kinda

Yeah the kiss was kinda lame! I was hoping for a bit more to happen hehe. I agree about the fact that we have to watch a heterosexual couple having sex in a toilet but we can't see more than 2 secs of girls kissing?! What's up with that!
nikkif99uk's picture

There was a bit more kissing

There was a bit more kissing 2nite and naked shoulder action lol. Then the obvious total freak out or pass of as drunken mistake.
carol's picture

Scenes on You Tube

The total freak hangover was expected... but next Tuesday, as you can see on the Hollyoaks website, Zoe will leave for a while because she can't stand Sarah's behaviour any longer (Zoe seems cool about the whole situation and Sarah is a mess). When Zoe leaves, Sarah starts crying.

I uploaded some of last Friday scenes on my blog:

I liked the neck kissage on

I liked the neck kissage on the last episode, wasn't much but at least it was something lol. Then Sarah had a love bite, that's even better haha.

 I don't want Zoe to leave I want her to stay and work things out and not just ignore what happened but if Sarah gets too clingy then I don't really blame her.

okinawansteel's picture

Well, Friday's Later

Well, Friday's Later episode was a bit more like it. It does appear that the storyline will be continuing in the regular episodes. To what degree, I don't know, but I've heard a few spoiler tidbits, and in today's E4 episode (which in case anyone doesn't know, is one day ahead of C4 so *SPOILERS*) Zoe moved out of the house she shares with Sarah and her father (temporarily) to make things easier on Sarah, because she wasn't coping at all. I thought it was quite sweet in a way. Still, neither of them has expressed anything beyond regret about it, Sarah's freaking out of why it happened, and is obviously the more conflicted of the pair, and Zoe seems rather unfazed, apart from some concern over losing her friend over it.

You still have my attention for the time being, Hollyoaks.

carol's picture

Not promising

Girls, as you may know, after tonight's episode, we will probably only hear from Sarah next Wednesday, meaning the 10th... and look at what I just read on the Hollyoaks website about that far far away episode:

Hannah and Sarah are having an afternoon hanging out in the SU Bar discussing boys. Elliot is the hot topic but Hannah clearly had a great time with Matt in Paris, in spite of her protestations. When they are joined by Archie and Elliot, Archie makes no bones of the fact that he fancies Sarah and it would seem that the feeling's mutual. In stark contrast to Elliot and Hannah, whose relationship is becoming increasingly frosty, Archie and Sarah are getting on famously.

Please, someone who always watches Hollyoaks can introduce me to this Archie??? Are they really going to get into there?

http://lebiscoito.wordpress.com

Gem's picture

Future Storyline

Well Sarah goes to the SU bar with Hannah to flirt with guys in order to prove to herself she is not gay, so she kisses Archie and Zoe witnesses it. The twist is that Archie is infact Zoe's brother.

Although im not sure if they continue the affair i know it says (according to spoilers) that Sarah tells her dad (mike/ Zoe's boyfriend) about the one night stand sometime in Jan

 And even though i kind of had hopes the affair would continue - 1) because if sarah was gonna hook up with anyone she could do why be Zoe's brother? 2) Zoe tells Sarah to back off him = Jelous maybe? But then again I think the tvguide would say 'sarah tells mike about their affair' not 'one night stand' , ohwell will have to see how it plays out i know Zoe doesn't return to hollyoaks until the 17th so its a lonng wait

I'm getting into this...

... and I didn't think I would! I'm a little behind because I'm catching up as and when I can but I'm praying it might lead into something more. At least it's teaching Sarah a little lesson anyway! :p

 Yes, that was rather mean!

Next week on Hollyoaks

Official Hollyoaks preview of next Wednesday, 17:

"Things are still awkward between Sarah and Zoe and Zoe's worried how Sarah's reacting to her around Mike. Desperate to prove to herself she's not gay, Sarah dolls herself up and heads to the SU Bar but all she finds is Elliot. Her hopes are lifted when Archie arrives and instantly charms her, leaving Elliot mortified and feeling very uncomfortable as they're all over each other. Zoe comes in looking for Sarah and is shocked when she realises the person she's snogging is her brother. Zoe's annoyed that her brother's in Hollyoaks and warns Sarah off him, but Sarah's not entirely sure of her motives. Zoe assures Sarah she's talking to her as her best mate and the girls agree to move on but can they really forget what happened between them?"

I don't know, but something about that last question mark made me thrill...

thx

thank you! let's see where this goes...
Clara's picture

me and my brother were

me and my brother were laughing so much by the end. i hadn't wached hollyoaks in years so i had no clue what was gfoing on, i swea 1/3 ppl have died or left and the rest have all swapped partners. it was hilarious being explained to what had happened and all the riducolur tales and by Zoe and Sarah's scene "but I slept with my dads girlfriend" "you don't need to prove you're not gay" "i'm not attracted to you" "i didn't know he was your brother" "you slept with a women" "you're one to talk" part we were laughing a lot, my parents just looked at us, but we'd been laughing at out in-jokes all evening anyways.. anyhoo i did like it, please continue to upload clips the user who does that, i'd like to see it again :)
anyhoo seemed like the scenes kept coming today, so not the end.. and i think with the "you don't need to prove you're not gay" "i'm not attracted to you" comments... its actually about one of them or both liking it/each other!

Producer Discusses Upcoming Story

Not sure if anyones seen this yet. Bryan Kirkwood gives some hints of what's coming up in the new year with the Sarah/Zoe storyline.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a138665/producers-perspective-2008-bryan-kirkwood.html

What can we expect from the first part of 2009?
"Next year gets off with a bang as we blow Sarah and Zoe's late-night liaison out of the water. There was always a danger with that story that we'd re-tread the same ground that we did with John Paul and Craig. So we decided to play it completely differently. We started with a sexual encounter, which surprised everyone including the characters, and then we'll work in a completely different direction.

"This one's a story about Sarah. Long has both Loui and Sarah faced the criticism that she's there to react to everyone's situations, so 2009 will be the year where we see what she's capable of. She's an outstanding actress and it's about time that she had a storyline that puts her into focus. A girl who's always borne the brunt of other men's' decision-making and treatment of her is now a lost and slightly embittered girl who doesn't know her own mind. 2009 will see Sarah making her own decisions and taking control. I can't wait to see it.

uuuiiii

isn't anyone concerned about this sentence "...and then we'll work in a completely different direction."???

it doesn't sound good to me.

jci's picture

Not Concerned Yet

I don't know if I find that line especially concerning. He precedes that sentence with a mention of the popular love story between Jean-Paul and Craig, and that they were concerned that the story with Sarah/Zoe could be perceived as a re-tread. I asume that he's implying that they're trying to tell the story differently enough that it doesn't come across as a carbon copy of the earlier story.

That being said, I'm feeling a little less sure about all of this after reading the recent interview with Zoe Lister:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a137977/zoe-lister-zoe-carpenter-hollyoaks.html

She does seem to suggest that a Zoe/Sarah pairing may not be where this is all heading. All signs indicate Sarah will continue to question her sexuality, just maybe not with Zoe. Dunno, maybe that's part of the 'completely different direction'?

grr

 

December 17th episode was pretty hilarious and annoying at the same time,

The two of them better get into it soon into January or i'll go nuts

Especially is they are still going on about how much of a mistake it was

It wasn't a mistake! shutup and kiss already!

I have a sad feeling about this

After reading Zoe Listers recent interview, I don't think they will get together. I think Zoe will go straight back to men and Sarah will be confused and maybe have a quick thing with another women-decide she's straight and go back to men too.

UK soaps don't like telling women/women romances in a good light for some reason, most of the time the girls are bisexual (which is fine as so am I) or 'confused' and they just use that as excuses to have some experimentation, and then have them go back to men. Where is our gay love story? like Craig and JP got in HO, or Paul and Jonny in Emmerdale.

All we get (when they even bother to have gay/bi girls at all, which is very rarely) are the ones that end after a one night stand, they die or go back to men. I'm tired of being ignored on UK soaps and only brought out when they want a rating stunt, and then it's back to hetro land for the characters. I'm betting this is what HO will do, they love the gay/bi guys and give them decent romances, but use the girls as nothing but ratings stunts.

BritishLily 's picture

Good episode.

I don't think they're going to become a couple. (as much as I'd like them to be)

I think there's just going to be fights and arguments for the next week or so.

Hopeless_Savage's picture

I was sure when they both

I was sure when they both admitted they liked it they would lead to a kiss.

It's a tough situation for the both of them, I would like them to get together, I would have liked it even more if they'd kissed or something behind Mikes back tho, before it all came out. Would have made an interesting storyline. But then again I suppose that would reinforce the belief that something like that should be kept secret etc.

Can someone sum up all the

Can someone sum up all the ups and (mostly) downs in their relationship for me? The Wikipedia article is confusing and they pop up on Hollyoaks (and Hollyoaks: Later?) sporadically and out of sync on what I think the timeline should be :(
Hopeless_Savage's picture

Zoe and Sarah were v good

Zoe and Sarah were v good mates, Zoe then began dating Sarah's dad (yeah WTF)

The main point of this storyline occured on the Hollyoaks later special. Episode 4 to be precise. They got drunk, Sarah was feeling sorry for herself. They were both lying on the bed and she lent over and kissed Zoe. She then apologised and said she'd had too much Vodders. Zoe then said it was okay and they kissed again, then scenes were shown of them getting much closer.

It was regretted when they woke up the morning after, then the rest of Hollyoaks later and the following Hollyoaks episodes showed them being quite repelled from each other and not getting along at all. There was some hoo ha about Sarah snogging a bloke in the SU bar which then turned out to be Zoe's brother! And various disagreements between the two of them. It came to a head when Sarah demanded Zoe break up with her dad because it was tainted etc. Instead Zoe ended up planning a trip around Europe with him o.O

It all went Pete Tong at the silent rave at the SU, when during a crying heart to heart in the toilet, they were overheard talking about the night they spent together by the flamboyant gay(bi?) guy, whos name escapes me. He then proceeded to loudly mention it to his friend in ear shot of Mike, Sarah's Dad. (Nice)

Now he's kicked them both out and its all a bit in shambles.

*phew*

Forgive me if i got anything wrong and missed stuff out, i was in a rush.

Themes's picture

I've heard spoilers that

I've heard spoilers that Zoe and Sarah sleep together again.

They better do something more with this storyline other than doing the drunk one night stand thing, but with both of them admitting they liked being together and all those signs of jealousy, I wouldn't be surprised if they did sleep together again.

Hopeless_Savage's picture

Oooh really? I agree with

Oooh really? I agree with your view and hope that the rumour turns out to be true! :D
Georgie the Fembian. 's picture

Hmmm....

Completely random but I think that Sarah's gonna get with that lesbian that came to the dog when it was a gay bar...the one that fancied hannah? Could happen.
