I don't understand the James love fest!!!!! John Paul could do so much better. Recasting Craig would be interesting

Guy Burnet was Craig. The character would be nothing without him. Craig wouldn't fit into today's Hollyoaks anyway.
I have no strong opinion on James and John Paul (although they have more chemistry than John Paul has with most love interests - frankly since Craig he's had almost none with anybody until James), but I do think James is an interesting character. I'm sorry they went the child abuse route, which feels tacked on and as if they were worried fans would hate him otherwise. It seems to be a norm that all gay characters need to be abused in past or present.
My main issue with this show remains Ste, who is a horrible, selfish man, constantly treated as a martyr and hero. We are supposed to root for him to have his kids...why again? And when he put his hands on Amy, the woman he terrorized, to try to force her to smile, my blood ran cold. They've also made Leah a generic soap brat. I don't want to watch it. His relationship with Harry, who is essentially his carer, also bothers me.

James and John Paul together never really seem to make since but I guess love is blind even in soap opera land

That was a nice send off but it did feel pretty rushed. Like it would of been nice to have more of a build up to John Paul wanting a new life other than him suddenly bringing it up at the beginning of the episode. Also LOL Craig was so shoehorned in. Like, what, is he going to fly to Singapore? I can't see anything logical coming out of that

I think the whole Craig this was a nod to fans of the pairing. Which if you think about it is a lovely thought. Yes the exit was a bit rushed. However, Hollyoaks wasted a very good actor on some dinky story lines. The rape story line being the best and then down hill from there as he was made a device in Ste's arc. I essentially stopped watching after Ste was diagnosed as HIV+. I'm glad John Paul didn't die, I'm glad he gets to go off with his son and start a new life.

I agree. I haven't been watching Hollyoaks for the last few months, but I did just watch the last part of this ep. I'm really glad JP was able to leave alive, this time without quite the drama as last time. In some ways, I like that the last part of JP's story involved Craig (after a fashion), just as the very beginning did. Fans can use their imaginations about whether they might someday reconcile. At any rate, farewell (again) John Paul McQueen. And best of luck to James Sutton on his next venture.

I just found out that I "know" Duncan James since he was in the boys band Blue! I never saw him live but I loved some songs ... and his daughter is a cutie! I loved watching them on "Big stars little stars"!

Does anyone know what's going on with that barely started Ryan/Kyle storyline? Is there anything in the works?
