I Want To Stay With You | Hollyoaks

[@emmawright200]

This scene with Charlie opening up to his dad is SO lovely but moving at the same time!!!! I am glad Charlie is FINALLY accepting help and is letting his dad help him get better!!!!

[@krispowell3233]

Emmawright200 WD that is great!😊

[@xxwhispersxx2856]

Charlie is oddly lucky in this scenario too. It's very rare that your parent knows exactly what you are going through, but Darren does. And he can give that empathy and the proper support that Charlie needs.

[@mscoolgirl798]

Usually when I see mental health storylines cropping up in soaps, I can empathise with the characters but mostly had the privilege of not directly relating or connecting to them.Seeing the way this storyline has gone with Charlie has affected me much more than I expected, as I've been struggling with anxiety and possibly depression. Thank you to the actors, writers and the whole team that crafted these scenes. I'm only one person but Charlie's experience has given me some food for thought and perhaps it would be worth my while look into options to help work through this. I don't think I would have gotten a wake up call like this otherwise

[@Misanthrope144]

That’s brilliant ! Please reach out to someone you connect with and trust. All the best ❤

[@shakibhussain6931]

You are not alone. I know this is easy for me to say on the other side of the screen but trust me, I have been where you are and a little worse. There is always a way forward. Please see that and remember you are loved by someone always. Stay safe.

[@ninoj3774]

This storyline has been great, as has Charlie (one of this year's best soap actors) and Ashley's acting. The best Hollyacks storyline at the moment and of the year.

[@ChelseyLinden]

Ninoj OA ikr? I really hope he’ll get help.

[@sarahyeates]

It's one of the most important ones as well, don't forget

[@ChelseyLinden]

@@sarahyeates OA exactly. I really think this storyline is wonderful awareness.

[@juliet1203_]

Phoenix coming out while helping Charlie was a phenomenal move from the writers. It shows that coming out is just a normal thing and isn't the stereotypical big thing that has become the "norm" in media. It also didn't undermine Charlie's storyline or his feelings, it was a beautiful scene and stood out to me.

[@zanderenzo]

That hit every spot, i relate to this storyline so much it bought me to tears. People don’t realise how much depression hurts people and I hope this storyline helps people understand us

[@marcnoonan2187]

Absolutely superb. Yes it hurts that Charlie never got to know his Bio Dad. But Darren has been a loving Father to Charlie. And sometimes that has to be good enough.

[@jazzybash1]

I hope he gets some form of treatment. Too many have died because they couldn’t handle and suffered in silence. He needs to get help asap, this could be more than just mental health issues as well. He has been on a downward spiral for awhile and shouldn’t put off getting treatment.

[@nebbynetwork2089]

Should always check on the people you l9ve and help them if they need it Hopefully Charlie will start to get better

[@josieshearer5481]

I absolutely love this storyline. Its done so well and these actors have really proven themselfs! Their acting is incredible! I went if hollyoaks becuase it was just getting so clingy but this has changed my mind! Well done! Love it. It reminds me a lot of newts story line and that qas my most favorite!

[@JacquelineMarybradley]

I love this scene of with Charlie is opening his dad is lovely 😍 ❤and he need some help but will be strong for charlie ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😢😢😢

[@ChelseyLinden]

Jacqueline Mary Bradley OA hopefully he will get help.

[@Thishandleistakentryanotherone]

The actor playing Charlie reminds me of Danny who plays Aaron in Emmerdale amazing acting skills

[@thriftedbygrace910]

Darren has grown so much, even in the last couple of years.

[@nathanbell8415]

As someone who has experienced and experiencing similarly to Charlie this has hit a nerve every time I watch a clip Charlie spills out how he feels I start crying because I know that feeling being alone or feeling like it too not having the tools to fix myself I’m glad they are showing this situation it shows a lot of people have this and some don’t get the help they need and actually do end things

[@ChelseyLinden]

Nathan Bell OA I know how it feels to be suicidal I’ve been in his shoes before sometimes I still feel like that but I can go through with it. 😢

[@bexmjt10]

Same here im 36 and know the dark places he has been

[@nathanbell8415]

@@ChelseyLinden I try and stay positive I go to work put a smile on my face but some times it doesn’t feel real I feel like a failure because I only have a few friends and even then I feel alone it’s hard to stay positive when there’s so much stuff pulling you down

[@ChelseyLinden]

@@bexmjt10 OA wow you’re 4 Years older than me and yeah I know the same feeling as you do. 😔

[@ChelseyLinden]

@@nathanbell8415 OA that’s how I feel! You and I both have one thing in common plus yeah I also go to work and have to put a smile on my face but afterwards I feel so downhill. 😔

[@amygibson301]

Darren is so caring and it's absolutely brilliant what he is doing now!

[@ChelseyLinden]

Amy Gibson OA definitely.

[@beccacostelloe04]

This story is so emotional😢😭

[@ChelseyLinden]

Rebecca Costello OA ikr? It made me cry. 😢

[@cls3201]

Although not the case this time, but even when Jack is at is wits end with Darren, the bond they share and love for one another is immeasurable. Great storyline to showcase that fact. Charlie has the best team in his corner for sure. Well done Hollyoaks! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@bethstaffiere8656]

Loved these scenes, especially one with phoenix an charlie

[@ChelseyLinden]

Oh my OA I so loved that scene to when Charlie told his Uncle that he loved him I so loved it. It’s so amazing that he finally opened up to him about he’s feeling I know how it feels to wanting to commit suicide i’ve tried it twice but couldn’t do it. This whole scene was so emotional I’m still crying I really hope now Charlie will get help and also that when Shing Lin finds out about this next week she too will be with him every step of the way. I also can’t wait to see what Phoenix is going to be like in their new name I believe they need another storyline as well they’re really amazing. 😊

[@hivemistressherguineapigfa8563]

I was Charlie's age when I had my first suicidal feelings. I've had depression on & off since I was 14. This really hit home for me. I hope this storyline inspires many to reach out & recover with their loved ones.

[@davidbaldwin2725]

Well done both of you absolutely brilliant story line

[@aoifeshannon3434]

9 years ago when I was 19 I became very depressed and had suicidal thoughts. I attempted suicide a few times but could never bring myself to go through with it. Sometimes things become so hard and you feel like there is no hope and you can’t cope. I dealt with it on my own and just recently I started telling people of me attempting suicide and suffering with ptsd, anxiety ocd, depression and many other stuff. I don’t wanna go into too much detail but the only way I could cope was emotionally torturing myself I know it sounds sick but I needed to feel something that was caused by myself and not other people. Things have changed now, I have changed a lot. I’m not the same person I used to be as I’m stronger cause I got through it. If it wasn’t for my dog and my nieces and nephews I would not have probably made it through. My Mom was the one I first told about these things, I don’t open up to people but I had to, to my mother. She passed away just in March there and I miss her so much but I’m being strong cause I need to be there for everyone. I’ve being doing better now I was in a very bad place but I’ve being to the doctor, being walking my dog and started an online course to help me think more positive of myself and feel happier.

[@ellamadison6760]

charlie’s storyline is so well done and so realistic

[@AnasuiLobotomy]

Seeing the old picture that they even had in 2010-2013 made me feel old me since I haven’t see old Hollyoaks for while

[@oisin25]

Sid was a great young actor and I still miss him but Charlie is giving him a run for his money.

[@robbiemaxwell3625]

I love you Darren omg that just made me cry 😭

[@dwainesworld1019]

So sweet

[@MARKKENYONLOCKE02]

Never cried so much at hollyoaks in my life 😢 ❤

[@shiree3282]

This has been a brilliant storyline about Mental Health by Hollyoaks such a brilliant scene with Charlie and Darren I'm glad Charlie has opened up to Darren and He's agreed to get help with His mental health

[@ChelseyLinden]

OA I read that the actress who plays Brooke is going to change their name from Brooke to Phoenix and when they mentioned Ripley I really missed their relationship with Brooke those two were amazing but I’m glad that Phoenix is going to be a different character now. 😊

[@a.l.y.a.m.e.d486]

Off subject but i guess Brooke is not only non binary but now their transitioning into a guy. I had to look it up and its true in real life. I just read they already had their name changed on the wiki amd it says Phoenix Hathaway. I hope now they can be themselves and feel happy. But i also hope they can help support Charlie as well

[@ChelseyLinden]

OA I also heard about that in spoilers I really hope they’ll get another storyline as well.

[@a.l.y.a.m.e.d486]
