Hollyoaks: In The City

Hollyoaks: In The City
Reports suggest that Hollyoaks fans are to be treated with yet another spin-off series, Hollyoaks: In The City.

Poor ratings of Hollyoaks: Let Loose put the dampeners on any hope that another series of the same name would be commissioned but it seems like the head honchos at Channel 4 are prepared to let Mersey TV have another bite at the cherry.

Storylines are yet to be confirmed but it is certain that Gemma Atkinson and Marcus Patrick - who play Lisa and Ben - are to front the series.

I am also told that filming will commence on the latest instalment in March resulting in a July premiere on E4.

Stay tuned to DS for the latest developments on the series in the coming weeks.

Can't wait for the new series watched all of Let Loose. Gemma and Marcus have real chemistry.

I sort of agree with Don. Producers of hollyoaks need to concentrate on the main series, as the story lines are long, drawn out and boring and many of the actors look very amateurish. It's a shame it used to be such a good programme.

The Hollyoaks makers need to improve the characters of the Hollyoaks series before making another spin off series. Since Christmas the Hollyoaks series itself has become very poor viewing. I had never ever missed a viewing up until then, now I dont bother as the main series is so poor.

What is Leigh on about? Ben didn't sleep with anyone. Also Lisa only slept with one person and as sad as it, it is reality and it happens tons more in other soaps. Plus they are allow to hit issues such as sex properly and none of that naff off when someone annoys you. People can swear after the 9pm watershed. More realistic than your corrie and eastenders pish.

The more Hollyoaks, the better!

If hollyoaks let loose went down like a lead ballon, why another spinoff with the same two stars? They became boring and didn't care who they slept with.
Annie Smith, Cowley, on March 12th, 2006
I admit let loose wasnt all that good but I reckon they should give the new one a go, I cant wait. I've been waiting for Ben and Lisa to return.

Looking forwad to it, will make a fine addition to the already great Hollyoaks.
Claire, Essex, on March 7th, 2006
I agree, it was terrible and Gemma has bought herself some fake new assets since the last series so how is she going to explain them?!
Chris Joslin, Caterham, on March 7th, 2006
I hope it isnt true! Let Loose was awful enough, with Lisa becoming a really unpleasant character! I wish they would concentrate on the main soap, it really needs it, it's been rubbish for years!
