Hollyoaks - Jen & Tilly
And so Jen and Tilly are no more, but Tilly has changed her courses at college to stalk Jen’s classes and basically make her life miserable by making Jen sing The Police’s “Don’t Stand Too Close to Me” (perhaps, I should make song reference that actually was around when Jen was alive, but we’ll just leave this here). Of course, this may turn into a terrible “lesbian turns crazy” plot that has been done to death in media since the beginning of media, but I am enjoying how all of Tilly’s veiled threats are dripping with lust and Jen is only all too human to response to it. Jen’s reaction shots are hilarious as she tries not to be so turned on/horrified at the possibility that Tilly might actually be out to get her. Stay tuned. But, please, Tilly … don’t go off the deep end.

Okay, Jen and Tilly … if you are hell-bent on having this secret romance, a few pro tips. One, don’t be so footloose and carefree that someone has discovered your secret love, especially a fellow student who can ruin lives and careers if he tells. Two, don’t have secret sex when there is even a chance at someone finding you. But … these are soap characters so will they ever listen or be in a least be logical? Of course not. What would be in the fun in that?
Tilly, in all her infinite teenage wisdom, has decided to quit college to be with Jen. Jen doesn’t take this news to well, but apparently realizing the girl you are dating just put her whole future in question just to make out with your face doesn’t mean one sours to the idea of … making out with her face. SOAPS!

I am convinced this ship is made partly from crack because I try not to care so much about Jen and Tilly (let’s be real, this can only end in heartache, right), but I just can’t help but love them and want to see more of them. Jen and Tilly are still having secret make-out sessions all over town, but Jen warns that it will be over once Fall is upon them. A teacher shagging a student is kind of career suicide (there is no good way to spin it, is there?). Of course, they have been found out and of course, bad things will happen. Who cares though when they are this cute together.
“Art isn’t just about finding the beauty in things, it’s about..capturing a moment, an emotion or a truth. Art is about allowing yourself to be surprised by the world around you, by the people you meet.” - Jen Gilmore.
