Podcasts about Hollyoaks

In this probing episode of the #SiblingsToo podcast, host Nancy Morris explores the challenges of representing sibling sexual abuse (SSA) in television programs, joined by experts and survivors Brinn Langdale, Diane Tarantini, and Tanith McCulloch. Against the backdrop of media representations like HBO's White Lotus and the UK's Hollyoaks, they navigate the multifaceted conversations surrounding SSA and highlight the urgency for responsible and informed storytelling. The episode critiques the portrayal of sibling sexual behavior in popular media, emphasizing the importance of accuracy, sensitivity, and comprehensive research in storytelling. Drawing on experiences with Hollyoaks and its reflective storytelling approach, the guests discuss how programs can shed light on the realities of SSA without resorting to sensationalism. Central themes include the societal need to recognize the prevalence of sibling sexual abuse and the vital role of resources and compassionate narratives in media. Engaging in this sensitive dialogue, they call for narratives that not only entertain but educate and provide pathways to healing and understanding for audiences worldwide.   Guest bios: Brinn Langdale is a sibling sexual abuse survivor, a licensed therapist, writer, speaker, and host of the Wholistic Approach to Healing podcast. She's also the founder of Wholistic Approach, a transformational coaching program focused on healing the whole you. www.brinnlangdale.com   Diane Tarantini is a sibling sexual abuse survivor based in Morgantown, West Virginia. She is an accomplished author, having written a children's book "The Brave Knight" and a memoir "Everyone Was Silent". Diane also works as a body safety educator, delivering crucial educational programs to public schools. https://dianetarantini.com   Tanith McCulloch served as the Sibling Sexual Abuse Project Officer for SARSAS in the UK. In addition to her role as a counselor and supervisor, Tanith actively contributed to the sensitive portrayal of sibling sexual abuse in the British TV show Hollyoaks, assisting in script authenticity and accuracy.   Key Takeaways:   Prevalence and Awareness: Sibling sexual abuse is a significant issue impacting numerous individuals, yet it remains underrepresented in popular media narratives. Consent and Responsibility: Media portrayals often fail to adequately address the complexities of consent, particularly in instances involving drugs or alcohol, portraying behaviors as consensual rather than abusive. Social Media and Survivor Communities: The episode discusses how social media serves as both a platform for survivor voices and a space for misinformation, emphasizing the need for informed conversation. Healing and Resources: Highlighting the fight for accurate storytelling, the discussion addresses the importance of providing resources and support for survivors within media representations. Future of SSA in Media: Diane, Tanith, and Brinn delved into their visions for future media portrayals which should influence public perceptions and lead to greater societal change.   Notable Quotes: "In the survivor groups that I'm a part of... to have a loss of connection to your family is a huge part of sibling sexual abuse that I don't think is being talked about." - Brinn Langdale "We have to come away from that narrative that it is a fantasy...and branch it out so people are being seen and represented." - Tanith McCulloch "In a perfect world, I would love to see the survivor disclose and have a positive experience with that, like they're believed, they're supported." - Diane Tarantini "Bring all the storylines and then let's get together on these kinds of calls with lived experience people ... to really start to pull this apart." – Nancy Morris     Resources: SARSAS RAINN White Lotus Hollyoaks     Chapters   0:00 Sibling Sexual Abuse Representation in Media and Its Impact 4:49 Controversial White Lotus Scene Sparks Social Media Debate 8:07 Addressing Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Complex Impacts 12:49 Understanding Consent and Its Complexities in Media Narratives 15:15 Sibling Sexual Abuse Representation in Media and Its Challenges 23:58 Anticipation and Uncertainty in White Lotus' Final Episode 27:33 Understanding Sibling Sexual Trauma and Individual Reactions 31:23 Complex Storylines in Media and Their Impact on Audiences 33:19 The Debate Over Trigger Warnings and Their Impact 41:21 Diverse Media Representation of Complex SSA and SSB Experiences 44:58 Sibling Sexual Abuse and Family Dynamics in Media 49:21 Media's Role in Addressing Sibling Sexual Abuse Narratives

Today, Danny is joined by Lizzy Roper, a comedian, actress, DJ, the face of Aunt Bessie´s and more. Her grandfather was a Londoner, but her father was born in Spain. When the civil war erupted, they became refugees. Lizzy was born and raised in Whetstone. Lizzy´s career has included numerous stage roles and parts in 63 movies and TV shows, including Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road. As well as a significant period doing stand up alongside Lenny Beige, Matt Lucas, Sasha Barron Cohen, David Walliams and more. She shares some interesting stories, including why she had to learn Middle English to get her equity card, a funny Pink Panther story and tales of an eclectic mix of celebrities, including Tom Baker, John Hurt, Barry Cryer, Leo Sayer and Robbie Williams. If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS By the age of 5 Lizzy was already imitating entertainers she saw on TV. She was born to act. In the late 80s, early 90s, London was still affordable, even for struggling actors. London is really a series of little towns that are patched together. In the West End, wherever you look, history hits you in the face. Once you have lived outside of London for a while you forget that the city has its own behavioural norms. The Gielgud Theatre had two previous names. The Regency Rooms was known for its cabaret comedy, but a lot of big bands also played there. Acting in a soap opera requires a different skillset. The insights Lizzie shares about how they make 2.5 hours of TV in under a week are fascinating. BEST MOMENTS “If I go back up there, they tell me I sound like a Cockney t**t.” “It took me a while to get London.” “Do you remember that wonderful word “profit share” that translates to profit loss?” “My acting career took off by going through the back door of Cabaret comedy stand up.” “When I met you, you were running the asylum at the time.” “I know I can do a bit of stand-up, but I could not be a street performer.” “There´s something magical about Liverpool.” “Hollyoaks, it's more dangerous than a Mexican drug cartel.” “I haven´t got the London code anymore.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1575301 https://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/client/lizzie-roper HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students. Having worked with some of the most difficult people in the UK, he is a natural storyteller and entertainer, whilst purveying the most fascinating information that you didn't know you didn't know. A writer and host of pub quizzes across London, he has travelled extensively and speaks several languages. He has been a consultant for exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum and Natural History Museum in London as well as presenting accelerated learning seminars across the UK. With a wide range of knowledge ranging from motor mechanics to opera to breeding carnivorous plants, he believes learning is the most effective when it's fun. Uniquely delivered, this is history without the boring bits, told the way only Danny Hurst can.

Loose Ends is in Hebden Bridge this week, a town made famous by the BBC drama Happy Valley, but you might also recognise the place and its glorious scenery from Last Tango in Halifax, Gentleman Jack or The Gallow's Pole. Clive will talk to local resident and bestselling novelist Joanne Harris, maybe best known for Chocolat which was adapted into an Oscar nominated film of the same name. Her latest book The Moonlight Garden is a fantasy set in a "long ago and far away" version of London and fits right into the wildly popular "romantasy" genre - a good fit for a town renowned for its quirky ways and alternative lifestyles. Also in the show, the acclaimed comedian and actor Richard Blackwood, best known for roles in Hollyoaks and EastEnders as well as on stage, is out on the road and passing through town on a stand up tour promising heavyweight laughs and no messing. TV presenter, GP and host of Europe's most popular wellness podcast Dr Ranjan Chatterjee will be easing us all into the New Year, just about the time when we all begin to fall off the New Year resolutions wagon and we'll be hearing about what happened to his own long held ambition to be Jon Bon Jovi. And award wining stand-up comedian and Hebden resident Nina Gilligan will explain why her new show is called Goldfish. Music from former I am Kloot frontman John Bramwell and band The Full Harmonic Convergence and also from all female Indie-folk band The Deep Blue. Presented by Clive Anderson Produced by Olive Clancy

We had the pleasure of interviewing Grace Davies over Zoom video!Grace Davies unveils her latest single 'Another Night,' a masterfully crafted, feel-good pop anthem which showcases her remarkable vocals and creative talent within songwriting & music production. The track's infectious energy immediately captivates listeners, creating an irresistible and timeless soundscape that will leave you instantly hooked.Crafted in collaboration with producer Paul Whalley & topliner Ben Lythe, 'Another Night' draws inspiration from Grace's childhood musical influences, notably ABBA, infusing the track with a nostalgic, warm, fuzzy feeling that resonates deeply with us all. The production masterfully balances retro elements with contemporary pop sensibilities - creating a unique for current times, yet universally appealing sound that wraps listeners in a comforting sonic embrace. ‘Another Night' is a result of an unconventional songwriting approach for Grace – working backwards from melody to lyrics. "I never work like that, normally" Grace reveals. "I usually have a specific topic I want to write about, come in with lyrics pre-prepared, and then find a melody. This time “Producer Paul” had the piano part already in his voice notes and I just mumbled gibberish over the top that happened to sound like the words “Another Night”. It was really fun to imagine what the song could be about from a title, rather than picking from past experiences." Grace, Ben & Paul have become somewhat of a “dream-team”, in their own words, across the forthcoming project - with ‘Another Night' being their inaugural co-write together. At its core, 'Another Night' explores the delicate balance of relationships pushed to their breaking point. The track delves into the territory of paranoia in love, chronicling the moment when small grievances snowball into irreparable damage. The song's gradual build-up mirrors this emotional journey, culminating in a powerful revelation of vulnerability and regret. Yet, true to Grace's artistic vision, she transforms this heavy narrative into an uplifting dance-pop experience. When listening to Grace Davies' single ‘Another Night' she playfully notes, "You can't help but dance... ‘Dance Cry', my personal favourite genre!" This brilliant juxtaposition of emotional depth and catchy chorus, paired with the nostalgic melodies, creates a fun pop anthem that is not only relatable but encourages listeners to find joy and have fun, even in life's more challenging moments.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​About Grace DaviesGrace Davies is a 27-year-old singer, songwriter, musician and producer from Blackburn, Lancashire. Since the beginning of her career, Grace has scored huge success, with over 100M+ streams for her songs on Spotify alone, support across the board at radio and acclaim everywhere from The Sunday Times to the BBC. At the age of 18, Grace's first self-released project received national BBC Introducing support, was championed by BBC 6 Music and had a track remixed by Radio 1 Dance Music DJ, Danny Howard. In 2017, she was invited to appear on the X Factor and her audition video of original song ‘roots' went viral. In a first for the show, Grace shook up the format by showcasing her original material throughout the competition and triumphed as runner up - gaining a top 2 iTunes chart position and numerous top 10s. 2020 marked the start of a new era in Grace's career – her debut EP Friends With The Tragic reaffirmed her reputation as an exceptional songwriter. Following the closure of her former label SYCO, she self-released her second EP I Wonder If You Wonder in 2021, which was an even bigger success - with standout release ‘roots' (written solely by Grace), reaching the Top 3 in the UK iTunes Single Charts, the Official Charts Top 100 and the UK Big Top 40, as well as plays on BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Heart & Capital FM. Her last EP, It Wasn't Perfect, But We Tried sees her at her most confident and in the producer's chair for the first time. As well as writing credits on all five songs, she co-produced three tracks, and fully produced two of the tracks herself, proving her a true multi-hyphenate. Grace's catalogue continues to gain in popularity for sync in international TV programmes, including Love Island, Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celebrity (Get Me Out Of Here), Strictly Come Dancing, American Idol, Eastenders, Hollyoaks and many more. Grace is completely owning her sound and is never happier than being at the forefront of her projects, both sonically as well as creatively. As a result, she is blazing a trail for women in a male-dominated industry. Grace Davies has had a consistent stream of incredibly crafted music that deeply connects her to her listeners; part of that body work includes her previous single “A Wonderful, Boring, Normal Life'  generating acknowledgement from Clash Magazine, Equate Magazine and The Official Charts Company.  Now with her latest single 'Another Night,' she channels her artistic excellence into a nostalgic pop anthem that proves Grace Davies is back better than ever, ready to dominate both playlists and dance floors across the UK.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We want to hear from you!

Get the eyeliner out, grab your guitars and throw on a pair of roughed-up Converse because we are getting dead pop-punky (but also dancefloor ready) for this episode! Joel and a very back-combed hair David are throwing back to The Veronicas' killer double-platinum-selling album, "Hook Me Up", first launched in 2007. This fun, heady, emotional and edgy body of work summed up the sound of our youth in the late 2000s, mixing pop, rock and electro with incredible, relatable lyrics. It spawned The Veronicas' best-known smash hit 'Untouched', gave them their first No.1 single, and gave us irresistible floorfillers like 'Take Me On The Floor' and 'Popular'. Whether you're rocking out to '4ever' or aching with long-distance love to the Kesha-penned 'This Love', this album has it all. Over a period of two years, this era took the talented Aussie twins to new heights across the globe, from touring the States to playing outside the iconic Hollyoaks pub, Dog In The Pond, and even co-presenting duties with Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron.

Nigel's guest today is Andrew Hayden-Smith. Andrew rose to fame on the cult kids' TV show Byker Grove in the late 1990s and early noughties and went on to be a pretty much permanent fixture on kids' TV for many years. He was the poster boy for countless teen magazines and ended up hosting Children's BBC, the most wholesome of telly jobs. So when Andrew decided to come out as a gay man at the age of 21 in the pages of Attitude Magazine it caused quite a splash. But thankfully this didn't stop him from going on to star in popular TV shows like Hollyoaks, Dr Who and Cucumber.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation.

Actor Rupert Hill was a very high functioning and pleasant drinker who could hide his alcoholism behind a successful career as an actor and publican which also helped fuel the denial. Over decades, Rupert's drinking became more and more unstainable - he found himself wanting a drink before going on stage and even in the middle of the night. Rupert decided to announce that he was sober on social media and has had the word "FREE" tatooed on the wrist of his drinking hand as a reminder to never go back. Rupert explains his slow decline into alcoholism and how and why he got sober - finding solace outside 12 step fellowship, self-help & gaining knowledge. Huge thanks Rupert for being so candid to help others! More on Rupert - Studied drama and theatre at Middlesex. Acting credits include TV shows like Holby City, Casualty and Coronation Street (Jamie Baldwin). Recent work includes Hollyoaks, Four Lives and Whitstable Pearl. He appeared in over 15 stage productions including Lady Chatterley's Lover and Wuthering Heights & directed the national tour of The Full Monty. Film credits include Awaiting and Entity &  features in 25+ radio plays. Rupert writes & directs his own films including; Molehills, Roll With The Punches and The Lookalike & recently wrote, co-directed, and starred in Operation Magpie, winning 'Best Actor' at Manchester Lift Off Festival. Debut play HUSK will stage at Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, in September, focusing on alcohol addiction and he directs The Arden Drama School showreels and showcase. Rupert co-owns The Castle Hotel and Gullivers pubs in Manchester's Northern Quarter & recently took over The Lloyds in Chorlton. 0:00 Intro 3:15 Rupert's rock bottom 5:15 The beginning of Rupert's acting career 10:15 'Hair of the dog' turns to addiction 18:10 Drinking in the middle of the night & hiding it 21:55 Alcohol causing mental health problems? 25:40 The power of 'being present' 29:15 Sobriety & close relationships 33:15 Drinking turns unstainable & recovery 39:05 Being a sober publican! 42:35 Rupert's new play HUSK 46:15 How Rupert maintains his recovery For anyone struggling with these topics Rupert suggests reading Alcohol Explained by William Porter.

Step back in time with us as we embark on a journey down memory lane to revisit one of the most beloved and iconic television series of the 20th century - Grange Hill. Join us in this special episode as we delve into the history, impact, and enduring legacy of this groundbreaking British drama series that captivated audiences for over three decades. We kick off our exploration by tracing the origins of Grange Hill, from its inception in 1978 by Phil Redmond, the creative mind behind other seminal British dramas like Brookside and Hollyoaks. Set in a fictional London comprehensive school, Grange Hill revolutionised children's television by tackling gritty and controversial issues that were often considered taboo for its target audience. Explore the groundbreaking impact of Grange Hill on British television and society as a whole. From its portrayal of issues such as bullying, drug abuse, and teenage pregnancy to its diverse and inclusive cast, Grange Hill challenged stereotypes and sparked important conversations about the realities of adolescence. No discussion of Grange Hill would be complete without paying homage to its iconic theme tune and memorable musical moments. From "Chicken Song" to "Just Say No," we celebrate the infectious tunes that became synonymous with the series and left an indelible mark on popular culture. Despite bidding farewell to our screens in 2008 after an impressive 30-year run, the legacy of Grange Hill lives on in the hearts and minds of fans old and new. Reflect on the lasting impact of the series on television, education, and the lives of those who grew up watching it. Join us as we bid a fond farewell to Grange Hill, celebrating its timeless appeal and the cherished memories it continues to evoke. Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering the series for the first time, this episode is sure to reignite your passion for one of the most iconic shows in British television history.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 26th February and the 1st March 2024 (Episodes #11198 - 11203). The truth is out about Tommy and Tracy's affair, and it was only a matter of time before Steve found out - though we must admit, we weren't admitting that part to come so soon! The trouble is, how are we supposed to care about it if the characters themselves don't even seem to? Meanwhile, Jenny and Daisy have a close call this week as Carla comes close to stumbling upon the truth about them using her stolen money to buy the Rovers - and that's not even the half of Daisy's problems this week thanks to the publication of a certain salacious magazine article. Also this week, Dee-Dee does her best to move on from Joel, Bobby raises his concerns about Lauren's disappearance to the police, and Adam hits a snag with Harvey's appeal - we just hope for his sake he's got plenty of free minutes with his phone contract, what with all those calls to the prison he's making! Quite a bit to go over in The Kabin this week, including a truly terrifying Coronation Street eBay listing and rumours that we're going to be seeing a certain Corrie redhead enter the Big Brother house next week. We also weigh in on the news that Hollyoaks is being cut to three episodes a week - no doubt it's terrible for everyone who's allegedly being made redundant, but could it lead to a better show, and would it work for Corrie? We round off the podcast with more of your feedback, including one reader's question about which recent episode of Corrie we'd show a first-time watcher.
