As we all know John Paul is back very soon, and its Brendan that bumps into him and it looks like they are going to have a bit of a fling, I think thats kind of an inventive way to bring him back, as I wonder what prompts him to go back home and whats happened with him and craig.
what do people think do they like the idea of him and Brendan or not?

I don't. It's lazy and predictable (if that is indeed what happens).

I don't think that anything will happen between them, HO, James and the soap mags have all been hinting at it way to much for me to believe that anything will happen, I think the shock will be that nothing happens and they'll go there separate ways.

If anything does happen then TPTB are utter morons but it's fair play for them both, Craig has left JP and Brendan thinks he's lost Ste so they can do what they want.

I honestly can't see the point in it.
The writers problem with JP last time was that they could think of no storylines for him besides having an affair or hooking up with some random guy.
So what will it make him look like if he's jumping into bed with Brendan after only just waving Craig off?!
Plus the 'Stendan' fans will hate him for it so what would be the point exactly?
JP should just be on his own for a while.

Agreed.

Better to have JP pining for Craig for a bit, then have him cop off with a newcomer at some point.

I hope not, I don't want John Paul getting involved in Brendan Brady's problems thank you very much! Brendan belongs with Ste and John Paul DID belong with Craig.

Yes from what I have seen the soap mags are hinting about it too much. It could still happen but isn't Brendan
Spoiler
if so, a Brendan / JP relationship would just be another pointless fling. I thought Ste and Brendan get back together? There were pictures of them reuniting on a bridge somewhere. Unless that's already happened

Nah ! Brendan is too invested in Ste to go anywhere else atm. I am thinking it's just a 'meeting of minds' both not being with the people they want to be with. Pure coincidence, though I am sure once JP says he is a McQueen, it will become interesting, but not THAT interesting.

I think I judge once its on screen it could be really good chemistry, I'm still and always be a fan of JP and Craig but I be interested to see how these two interact.

I think they are just teasing the audience with this. It's just to try and get people interested in the return of an old character but I don't think they are really going to have too much to do with each other.

I think if JP boinks Brendan after waving goodbye to Craig, that will pee off any McDean fans still knocking around. It will also pee off any Stendan fans. So in the end, what would be the point of it? Brendan is leaving, so not like they could start another triangle of Ste, Brendan and JP.

I think it will be one of those things where they get a bit drunk and talk about their lifes and maybe Brendan thinking he never will see JP again, tells him all deep meaningful stuff about Ste, that Brendan never really says to anyone, thus when JP returns to HO, Brendan not being happy to see him.

I just think having them boinking will have JP starting off pee'ing off quite a few fans! BK loves JP, so I would imagine he wouldn't want that start for him!!

The thing is, James Sutton is teasing the idea that Brendan and JP hook up so much, that it actually makes me think it's not going to happen.
it just seems too obvious. And it wouldn't really be an 'omg!' moment because we'd probably all be expecting it!

As far as I'm concerned the Stendan fans can get over themselves.

They don't run the show or decide how Ste/Brendan/Doug/John Paul are written, no matter how much they like to think they are.

As for the question, I'll go with meh to be honest. I just hope if Brendan lays a finger on John Paul, the latter decks him one.

BIB-Do we not? no way well that's disappointing I guess I'll have to stop writing scripts and sending them in then, I'm really shocked, I genuinely thought that what we Stendan fans wanted is what we got to be fair though, I did want Brendan to beat Ste up and have Doug turn gay so that we could keep Stendan apart till the very end it's been the perfect two years for us Stendan fans

Get over yourself.

If, and I'm seriously hoping not, JP and Brendan do have a fling, it's nothing more than pathetic and lazy writing and a complete lack of imagination. Why is it that whenever a gay character comes into a soap (or returns) it always has to be for tedious relationship or love triangle "storyline". Using "storyline" very loosely there.

Are characters of any other sexuality, other than heterosexual, not "deserving" of storylines? Sexuality shouldn't define a character and a character shouldn't be brought into a soap purely for a relationship. Very boring, lazy, unimaginative writing and a character there as a number.

I think if ever there was a character who wasn't defined by sexuality, Brendan Brady is the prime example.

I agree about them simply talking and revealing too much to each other and then it causing tension when JP returns.

But I'm not really bothered if they do hook up. People often have rebound flings so it wouldn't be that shocking.

also we don't know why JP and craig have split, how do we know craig hasn't been cheating,or leaving to be with somone else, that would justify him going off with Brendan more.

No, I hoped JP and Brendan would have nothing to do with each other, I can see a love triangle beetween JP, Brendan and Ste and personally I find that boring and predictable and if it does happen more of Doug whinging and making secret phone calls to send Brendan down.

Brendan should just be on his own (relationship).

looks like they do sleep together, I think it will be a one off though.

Sounds er... great! So JP, just happens to meet Brendan, who just happens to live in HO who just happens to be gay and they just happen to fancy each other... yeah, I guess realism isn't HO's strong point! Plus wouldn't Ste being standing there going WTF? Where did you appear from JP? Seeing as JP was in HO same time as Ste. But nope, he runs away!

I thought James Sutton said his return was going to be good, not really unbelievable!!!

Well they've kind of messed that up now!! It's JP and Craig forever until Craig gets on some coach that leaves and then JP shags some bloke a few hours later! Sorry but me thinks McDean has been good and properly f**ked up!
