Revision as of 21:40, 11 November 2012
Enjoy The Ride is a storyline from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, broadcast between 12 and 16 November 2012 on Channel 4.
Development
The Daily Star announced the storyline on 21 October 2012. They reported that "lots of lives will be lost in the tragedy – the biggest Hollyoaks has seen". A show source told the Daily Star that it was a "huge stunt" and that "a lot of money has been spent making it look as realistic as possible. A team of stuntmen and women were brought in and bosses hired some of the best special effects people in the business. The bus crash will be a disaster no one will ever forget".[1] Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy announced that an upcoming storyline would feature "another tragic storyline twist" as "wedding day joy turns to horror for a number of the soap's characters".[2] The episodes were said to feature the double wedding of Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) and Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) alongside Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and Doug Carter (PJ Brennan). Jono (Dylan Llewellyn) and Ruby Button (Anna Shaffer) also plan to elope to Gretna Green so steal a mini-van. Bart McQueen (Jonny Clarke) and Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) try to stop them eloping by forcing them to stop the mini-van. Driver Maddie Morrison (Scarlett Bowman) is distracted and almost runs over Leah Barnes (Ela-May Demircan), but swerves off the road to avoid her. Maddie drives in to Tony, Cindy, Ste and Doug's wedding venue, crashing the mini-van before it explodes.[2] `Kilkelly explained that the event would "change life in the village forever". The storyline was created to "reveal secrets and lies that many had fought hard to keep hidden". It was also revealed that "at least two characters are expected to be killed off in the momentous episodes, but their identities will be kept closely under wraps until transmission".[2]
A promotional trailer was later released by E4's official Hollyoaks' website.[3]
Reception
Jaci Stephen of the Daily Mail said that there is a "spanner in the works" on the wedding day in the form of the "much-publicised crash, as a bus careers into the venue. I don’t remember ever seeing a bus on the show before, so it seems rough that, when one appears, it’s about as controllable as a Dalek on acid". She added that due to a large number of the cast becoming "indistinguishable from one another, I’m not sure I’ll know who’s been injured/killed. But at least that means I won’t care, either".[4]
