‘The New Legends Of Monkey’ is a thing?

On ‘Hollyoaks’: the odious and deplorable Damon is a terrible friend to Brody who was obviously molested by Damon’s foul father Buster who is now screwing Marnie. Leela is unsmiling and suddenly she cares about Peri. Mandy has simmering resentment. Luke’s ex suddenly wants him back. Why?!? Luke makes his son feel unloved and unwanted and so he spikes Luke’s drink.
Milo’s brother Theo shows up and he’s gritty and unflinching and full of suppressed rage. Damon does dismissive muttering about Brody, again. Leela is selfish and mocks the pain her married lover felt over Lisa going missing. Leela does more dim-witted behaviour. One feels incredulous disgust for her. Leela who stole Simone’s husband bad mouths her and Lisa to her face. Leela has deplorable ignorance. A dirty girl claims to know Peri. Theo screws Cindy.
Best Lines:
“Get rid of his half wit wife.”
“You thieving toerag!”
“This horrible nasty man.”
