Joel & James - 10/17/2019 *First Look*

It's about time Mercedes faces a prison sentence. I'm sick of her.

[@shortangel333]

She gets shot

Mercedes go too hell

[@kayleedick9300]

Lol

[@kayleedick9300]

I know it's acting

[@tanyarees844]

James doesn't realise he had it all then ruined it by being so parioned, yes harry did love him but James pushed him away, now he's grieving and doesn't have anyone

[@charlottemartin4715]

Tanya Rees honestly James should’ve just ended it for a while until he could actually trust Harry instead of what he did. A relationship built on paranoia and betrayal (Harry’s cheating) was never going to work. Plus, being away from a partner for a while actually helps, if Harry wasn’t sure from the start, or was going to continue cheating he’d probably move on after a while, but if he truly loves James and was going to change he could use that time to actually not only figure that out but also realise he has to change and prove it.

[@tanyarees844]

@@charlottemartin4715 he never cheated tho it was his him being parioned and then he started being selfish and wanted Sadie and the baby out the way cause he wanted harry all to himself he ws controlling and jealous plus harry told him it was finished because he kept being parioned and jealous over ste when ste was willing to help him find Sadie, but then he got upset because Harry dumped him then the next day does what he always does and hides his feelings, so harry gave him another chance and as soon as he does he was jealous and parioned again so he drugged him so he missed his court hearing and now he's dead, I just feel like he's partly to blame and I think James knows that as well

Confused to why Marnie is kicking James out of his own house!

[@faytneris]

true. They should have left. It is his home.

[@nickdidntdoit999]

young love. so blis

[@1beartruckr]

Wow...dont think ive ever seen Marnie this animated ... come what may she is protecting the interest of her only GRANDCHILDREN(teen/young adult but children to Marnie) James has got to learn to keep that mouth in check.. that make or break mentality will cost him his family..

[@shortangel333]

So he can't grieve?

@@shortangel333 or he can't handle the harsh truth

[@arcadie3374]

It's obvious that James needs a professional help and accepting to leave because he thinks himself incurable. And offering his house to his family shows that she still count for him a lot

[@shortangel333]

Also Marnie protects her grandkids from James but not James from Mac? What a hypocrite. Just Sayin.

[@ksspqf6016]

It seems as though she had no problem when fartkenzie forced him to have sex with donna i dont see how that's not a valid reason to kick someone out of the house

[@dearfutureme2929]

Do you know what?? The whole Nightingale family can sod of!! Yes, James hitting Romeo is awful, but at the end of the day.. like it or not, his significant other has died, and James has been made to confirm it was Harry who was dead!! James has then continued to try to kill himself!! I mean, give him a break, he needs help, not to be kicked out of his own home!!

[@anthonylabrum4095]

No excuse for giving your own son a black eye

[@yixingsunicornmultifandom1878]

It’s James’s fault that Harry is dead in the first place he’s just taking his guilt out on others

[@Mitsubachi2529]

Anyone else ship Leah/Charlie? I hope the writers don't go the teen pregnancy route w/Leah :P.

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Melissa Turner I hope there isn’t another teen pregnancy too much of them but I hope they get together.

[@Js2Jo]

James was slapped by his mom!!!

[@KamiTenchi]

So?

[@xalexis.editsx]

1) All James did to Juliet was yell at her. He didn't lay a finger on her. 2) How can Marnie kick James out of his OWN house? 3) When James grabbed Marnie's wrist, it wasn't even that hard. He was just moving her hand away from his face. 4) Why the hell is Joel SO stupid? I would've said something as soon as Mercedes walked into the hospital room!

[@jordanpoyant8557]

A 16 year old girl if ste did any of the things James has just done you would be calling abuse

[@rehnumachowdhury3629]

@@jordanpoyant8557 I agree I love james but he his in a dark place but that does not give him the right to hit kids even if they flipping annoying

He would of smacked her. He punched his own child in the face hitting some one else wouldn't be an issue

[@xalexis.editsx]

Jordan Poyant Umm no I wouldn't. How is yelling at someone ONCE abuse? She was yelling at him and saying Harry was better off dead without him. He was bound to snap!

[@xalexis.editsx]

Anthony Labrum You don't know that though. He *might* have hit her, but we don't know if he would have for definite. Yes, he punched Romeo and that was bang out of order of him. However it was a mistake that he deeply, deeply regrets and I couldn't see him doing it to him again. But you never know. This IS Hollyoaks after all. They've taken a character who's spent decades striving to do his best to be NOTHING like Mac, and they're trying to turn him into him. It's absolutely ludicrous! Sloppy writing on behalf of this show. I stopped watching the actual show a long time ago because of the shitty writing. I just watch the clips on KZbin when something interesting happens every once in a while. I'm waiting for Breda to be caught out, Mercedes and Liam to be caught out, and Ste to leave the Far Right group. Then maybe - MAYBE - I'll start properly watching the show again.

[@koma-ho5yq]

James deserves to be disbarred and in prison for the things he has done and that is not counting him hitting Romeo and yelling at Juliet. It is time people stopped making excuses for him.

[@jordanpoyant8557]

People need to stop excusing James behavior if anyone else like mercades or ste did everything James has done everyone would be calling for their exits

[@sarahyeates2032]

Liam deserved that!

[@anirai1516]

So James is leaving Hollyoaks indefinitely?

[@weirddood.4893]

OOHHH we haven’t heard the word “bitch” in a long time on this show

[@mckinnb311]

1. I'm SO tired of this Mercedes/Liam story line. Just make a decision, already! 2. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if James doesn't blame Ste for Harry's death and try to put him in prison for it. Or maybe start a relationship with Ste. James is supposed to get a new love interest in the near future, reportedly someone we already know.

[@arcadie3374]

Greg F. needed a break? It can be understood since his talent is not used wisely at the moment, I hope that on his return, we will finally have scenes worthy of his talent!

[@jordanpoyant8557]

He hasn't left he's in tomorrow episode and he's staying with Kyle

[@arcadie3374]

Jordan Poyant Okay. But it's a shame, a small " break" was necessary. His character lacks intensity for some time in my humble opinion

[@jordanpoyant8557]

@@arcadie3374 I think his character is basically dead without the Harry and ste love triangle,he should of broke them up,then got with harry and then left with him

[@arcadie3374]

Jordan Poyant I must admit that I was not a fan of Starry, or a Jarry fan, maybe because there was Stendan before and in my opinion, Jarry was a pale imitation of Stendan without offending the fans. And unlike you I think Jame's character can still bring a lot to Hollyoaks and the fans I'm part of. I think that the duo James/Romeo has not yet revealed everything. They still have a lot to discover each other. The superiority complex of James can take a hit, great scenes can still come out of this relationship. James can fall in love again with someone of his age, who could" put him in his place", compete intellectually with him and with whom he would be more demonstrative affectionately, i would love that! I still do not know what Hollyoaks wanted to do with Harry's character. They could have made him evolve intellectually and financially especially since he knew that he will became a father, but they've preferred to get rid of him in a insignificant corner of the village I think I spoke too much, sorry my English is bad Have a good day!
