Jesus wept, this is the shittest thing in the history of an already pretty damn shitty universe. They should stick to acting like twats on TV, these wankers.

Oh dear.... what happened to sasha being a druggy, amy being a slutty teen mum, micheala being a shit reporter and josh being a geeky virgin? It's just more interesting when they stick to being the shit-filled retards that we know and hate. Making music is a different thing altogether and should not be done by soap actors!!!

what? has hollyopaks turned into neighbuours? so the new way to get a record deal is not to go on the xfactor but to become a soap star

What a bunch of fucking tosspots. In 3 years time does anyone actually think any of the no-marks in Hollyoaks will amount to anything more than shop assistants? Get a proper job you bunch of talentless fuckwits.
