my 2023 hollyoaks wishlist

first of all, i need the stames wedding to go well. i need dancy wedding with a dog in a top hat part 2. nobody better die or cheat, there better be no explosions or serial killers present. just let them get married and be happy.

please either get rid of joel or give him a storyline that doesn't revolve around a woman. he needs a personality.

keep sienna and ethan together. stop making her sleep with warren. ethan is precious and they're cute together.

can the show remember that sienna and ste are besties and have her involved in the wedding planning.

let john paul be happy. he's been miserable for two years now.

take mercedes and tony off my screen for at least a year.

make sure the jeri brighton episode isn't identical to the jalfie southport episode.

either have mitchell come back or scott leave to be with him. now that toby and celeste are gone there's no need for them to be apart anymore.

please give us a break from warren and norma scheming. just let them develop their mother/son relationship and let all their revenge plots go.

give sam a purpose in life.

bring sid back. he's needed.

get rid of maxine. blow her up or just let her leave the village, i don't care. i just want her gone.

more james and leela scenes.

more james and sienna scenes.

let leah and lucas bond with romeo and juliet. i don't think they've ever met.

actually have james and ste involved in lucas' sexuality storyline. he'll need someone to talk to and having two gay dads is literally perfect for him.

give goldie a storyline.

give cindy another storyline. she's an incredible actress and deserves the time to shine.

maybe actually show tom and yazz. they've been married for like two years now and are barely together.

remind romeo he has a family. i think he's forgotten.

PLEASE SORT OUT YOUR BABYSITTING ARRANGEMENTS. mention or show the kids from time to time. how is leela hiding a seven year old daniel upstairs? does diane remember she has four kids?

find grace a girlfriend.

find donna marie a boyfriend.

let ste take james' last name. i can't live in a word where he's called james hay.

lol i have seen stames/james fans saying rex will kill James and stames will have a bittersweet reunion etc like lol

i mean anything could happen at this point and that does kinda remind me of the wedding bus crash. It would be interesting if rex was somewhat involved in james's death.

Ste: It’s too much, I can’t accept them!

Marnie: Well, you’ll jolly well have to. I mean after all, Leah and Lucas are practically my grandchildren now.

[meljwrites]

Oh sorry I didn’t know that was classist. I just used it because it was what James described Ste as in their vows 🙈

yeah it like is probably from the romani word for boy but basically describes lower class boys who dress like ste and lucas and are classed as "violent" and "criminals", with strong links to council houses and supposed drug dealers. people say roadmen now, which is functionally the same thing but with less of the connotations. It's basically like saying "lower class hoodlums"

In the Stames wedding I'm pretty sure they wrote each other's vows so it was like Ste calling himself that, and the joke was that James is like really rich so it was a politically incorrect thing to say.

There are also things to be said about the characters in this show subscribing to those stereotypes but lets not go there.

I love Stames, right, I’ve been rooting for them ever since they got together and I’ve been so happy hearing about what’s to come for them.. but I keep thinking about John Paul. He’s both of their ex and that concerns me. James has had a lot of scenes with him & the McQueens lately. I can’t help but wonder how long it’s gonna be until James or even Ste ends up cheating with him. I mean I really hope that’s not the case but it’s more than likely gonna happen eventually, right? The writers aren’t gonna be able to resist doing that storyline. I can practically see it coming. Anyways sorry for the negativity, I do actually want stames 2 be endgame despite my doubts.

i've also noticed that james has been onscreen with john paul a lot lately and an affair has crossed my mind... but lucy promised us a happy ending for stames this year so i guess we just have to trust her.

hoping this is one hollyoaks wedding that goes well!!

I’ve been predicting a Stames wedding ever since Marnie died and she left James a wedding ring ;) I’ve been worried for James for the last year but I’m glad to know it’s actually happening now :D

omg i completely forgot about that!! what a sweet little detail. i cannot wait for the proposal

[adoribullpavus]

I cannot WAIT for Stames to be engaged. I keep thinking about the proposal, like how’s THAT gonna go. My brain is coming up with all sorts of scenarios. I even made myself cry earlier thinking about it. That’s how I am invested I am in them.

They’re such an unlikely pair but somehow, they just work. They hated each other for so long and now they’re in love. They’re gonna be so happy together, I just know it.

it's all i've thought about all week. i wanna know who proposes, where, how, who's invited to the wedding, what their kids think, if the wedding will go well, what song they'll have their first dance to, everything!!

i feel like it has to be james who proposes. we already know how ste feels about him but, as much as he's tried telling us, james still hasn't really said the l word (i know he told ste he still loved him but we still haven't had an i love you yet, whereas we've had many from ste).

until it happens, they will be the only thing on my mind.

I never thought I’d be so emotionally invested in Stames of all ships. The fact we’re getting hints they might get engaged this year… like please I’ve been wanting James to be engaged to someone again since 2017/8. Also the fact the boss is all “yeah there’s gonna be drama but we’re really focusing on the romance between them this year”… if their happy ending is with each other after all they’ve put the other through I’ll laugh but I’ll also cry with joy. Sorry I’m rambling.

never apologise for rambling in my asks, i need more people to talk about my little gay fictional men with!!

i'm emotionally unstable right now i wasn't expecting engagement hints, but knowing they are giving stames a bit of happiness this year has made my whole week

ever since he proposed to jp, i've wanted james to have at least one wedding so i'm extremely happy with this news

hopefully we'll get some cute scenes between now and valentines day when they're supposedly getting back together
