MTV and the producers of the long-running UK teen soap Hollyoaks have teamed up to make an eight-part series based on the reality series that exposes the "The Real O.C."
They'll focus on a group of 16- to 18-year-olds in the town of Alderley Edge in Cheshire-- just south of rough-and-tumble Manchester. Not quite as glamourous and flesh-friendly as the Southern California coast, but the area is home to a lot of millionaire pop stars and athletes-- including David Beckham and Skinny Spice. And Hollyoaks is known for putting its female stars in bikinis as often as possible.
For the pilot, the teens will organize and attend a Valentine's Day ball, which should lead to the drinking and snogging and shagging that're required.
They haven't come up with a name for the show yet. How about: Adderley Edge: The Real Area Just South of Manchester?

I live in the UK and watch Hollyoaks and I'm not sure I'd call it a teen soap. Plus, I have yet to see anyone in a bathing suit in 4 months. The show is pretty awesome, though.
But that said, I will definitely be watching this new show.

Yeah, didn't Hollyoaks have a male rape scene a few years back?

The name of this will be living on the edge and it should be a good show, I only know this because my son is one of the stars. Obviously theres not as much sun as california but it is being filmed in summer and should certainly be a good show.
