If you could cast a character or family from the soap Brookside or teen series G'wed who would you pick and how would they fit into the show? Either the direct character or just the actor/actress.

From Brookside I could cast Phillip Olivier who also starred as Adam Tyler in Hollyoaks In The City back in 2006. He would work at the school and have scenes with JP.

From G'wed I would pick Leanne Best and have her as a new and fresh McQueen.

Adam (Phil Oliver) or Burton as the new gangster/Loft owner/business owner, I'd say Tank Top but I think Leon Lopez is behind the camera these days

I don't know what G'wed is, lol

full on, funny and with bags of heart. Meet this unforgettable group of Liverpool teens surviving with a sense of humour as they tackle life’s big issues.

Bit Inbetweeners/ Derry Girls esk.

Oh of course, G'wed is Liverpool slang, lol

I have a feeling HO could try echo that show. It would work more for a HOL though.

Wonder if we'll ever see another HOL or spin off show

I hope so but depends on the next year on the show I think. They need to pull back the fans who have switched off and they need to keep hold of the ones they have left.

The last one was 2020 so a late nighter would be good but it is probably low priority considering everything else going on

Makes me wonder how low the casts morales are. losing their friends and colleagues in such a ruthless manner

Yeah moral is low and there is some anger from what I have heard but I guess also people are just glad they are safe.

Not sure how I feel about cast revealing they are safe whilst others are not and it isn't known. I think they need to announce the cuts now in one swoop.

I just have a feeling characters I like will go and I'll be left with Maxine, Sienna, Ste, Peri etc
