Thread by @tetsell

Clearing out my cloud photos so here's a thread of odds and ends from my time on @Hollyoaks. It's mainly dedicated to the amazing design team who have to fill an entire village with believable tat every day.

Fancy a drink in the Loft? Perhaps a lovely can of Weissbrau? A cheeky Strawberry Dream alcoholic drink? Or the more exotic Peach Dream Rogue? #McGinnMemories

Of course Jim always preferred a classic bottle of Tradizione or, if he'd had a hard day McQueening, there was always Wunderbeer #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Speaking of the Loft, I understand they've got rid of those terrifying sculptures. This is how they got dressed up for weddings. They still haunt my dreams. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Remember when Carmel and Mercedes had competing club nights? No? Well, it can't all be Stendan. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Carmel put a lot of work into coming up with new names for the Loft. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Still, the Loft was still pretty cool. Check out what the DJ was always spinning. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

To be honest, Trevor's place was always more my speed. For a gangster, he had some lovely leaflets. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

This is from when Jim was stalking Dr Browning for some reason. Or it might be Hollyoaks Later Does Toy Story. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Ah, Dr Browning. Always ready to hang out, even when he was busy trying to kill Myra. And he had a lovely collection of metal monkeys. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Pesky Dr Browning (aka the creepy guy you're only friends w. because he's going out with yr girlfriend's sister / trying to murder yr girlfriend's mother who you previously slept with) got Myra in the end. But he hadn't counted on @nicolebarberlan doing her own stunts.

Myra's fake wake was quite the do and once again design played a blinder (apart from using the same defrosted unrefrigerated prawn platter for two days - it still haunts my dreams) #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Quick break while I wonder what I've been up to since being stabbed by the bloke from Eldorado. Meanwhile, remember: do not try to take a photo of a napping Tony. He does not like it. (@thejamessutton doesn't mind though) #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

I'm back, and it's time for some paperwork! Myra McQueen's medical records anyone? Or perhaps crazy Clare Devine's CV? #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Pub quiz question: Where did Carmel get her scar removed and how much did it cost? #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Ah, my mistake - the rotten prawns were served at Myra's fundraiser. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Hang on, Dr Browning's medical decree was never signed! I knew there was something dodgy about him. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

There was one episode where Jim walked funnily for no reason. It's because I'd been wearing these but the story was cut in the edit. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

This was Jim's cat. I assume it pissed off the Lime Pictures management because it died off-screen. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Has anyone ever joined or eaten at the Hollyoaks Rowing Club? #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Even with HD cameras, viewers miss most of the best set details. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

If you visit Hollyoaks hospital (and everyone does) be sure to catch this portrait of Some Guy but don't buy anything from the vending machines. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

You know those babies they're always having in the village? They all look like this. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

No jokes now, just a couple of my favourite on-set photos #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

I thought this statue didn't get enough love. (Though what the nightwatchman gets up to is anyone's guess) #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

I don't want to slut shame anyone but this is the bedpost in the McQueen house. How many notches does it take to do this? #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

There was that time I bought @thejamessutton some Breaking Bad merch and his girlfriend thought I'd had dolls made of the two of us. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

I think these two signs sum up what it's like filming down at Childwall. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Wasn't all glamour of course. Here's a plate that was left in the changing room for months with a pube on it and a picture of the show runner networking with some chips and a bottle of rose in his pockets. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Wendall Alonso. Who was he? What did he do? We'll never know. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Death comes to us all and there's better resting place than the Hollyoaks graveyard that can be constructed and dismantled on the lawn outside reception. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks

Well, that's enough memory lane. I may be dead, but if you ever need a short, fat man to frame a corpse for murdering a nurse, buy half a nightclub, get stabbed then be posthumously & unconvincingly framed - here's my card. #McGinnMemories #Hollyoaks
