Brendan is a total dull an and annoying character, he just always comes across as a weaker Warren the best actor in there is Silas but its a shame he plays such a bad character.
All soaps are bad btw and Hollyoaks rarely gets it right the only reasons I watch it is that its better than watching a soap with middle age and above(some well above) moaning a lot and barely leaving the same street they live.
Quite often Hollyoaks just feels like a fashion parade of pretty people.
