So Johnny loses his virginity to Gianluco according to this. Even more jealous now.

Something does tell me though that Johnny's heart is gonna get broken.

I'm gonna be an array of emotions when this airs. I'll just have to imagine I'm Luca.

I hope he doesn't get his heart broken. It would be nice if Luca went back but they parted on good terms, meaning there's always the potential to bring him back further down the line. Or maybe Johnny does actually decide to go with him at the very last minute? It could only be for a couple of weeks but it would be sweet and romantic and a clear indication that Johnny is finally spreading his wings. Whatever happens I hope it's bittersweet rather than all out depressing.

Also it's strange that this scene apparently airs on Thursday but Luca isn't in the credits for that day. Just a little observation.

I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how Sam handles the kissing scenes. Sometimes when you've got straight actors playing gay characters you can sense they're uncomfortable with the kissing, but in these pictures it looks so natural and lovely so I hope that translates to the acting. I always thought his kiss with Danny was really hot but over with way too quickly. This looks like it's going to last for longer and I'm weirdly excited about it!

I really don't wanna see Johnny heartbroken Maybe Luca might come back - Or they'll do a Phoebe from Friends and introduce a more serious boyfriend to Johnny and Johnny will have to choose between them (Gianluco coming back at a later stage) and Johnny will choose the other boyfriend. It would be nice if Johnny did go to Italy with Gianluco - that said they've known each other less than a fortnight by that stage. I never thought Johnny would move into a serious relationship so quickly, I always thought Johnny would take things more slowly.

Maybe the doof doof is actually that Johnny and Gianluco leave for Italy together. I do think that its a bit quick so as I keep saying I sense heartbreak down the line for Johnny.

The kissing does look very natural, I'm betting Sam Strike is a pretty good kisser too! I think this kiss looks much more hot tbh.

I'm starting to wonder what clothes are Johnny's and what clothes are Sam's? I always thought soap actors had a completely different costume to their characters.

Here's another factor. Costume/episode filming correspondence. EE filmed the Albert attack on 2nd May - Winston from BB had a photo on set wearing the same clothes as he did in that episode. I'm thinking when Sam Strike had the photo of him 'not being immature in the slightest' with his 'boobs' (mid May) that the scenes with him and Gianluco getting cosy were filmed around then. I can sense a much deserved break coming for Sam/Johnny at some stage.

Fact is they'll probably leave the outcome for this schtum until air date.

Nonetheless I can't wait!

I didn't actually notice that, but Johnny is wearing the same outfit in those kissing pictures as he was wearing in the twitter picture you mentioned. I don't think that outfit is Sam's, he was filming when that picture was taken as it was in the Vic's kitchen.

That actually makes me think that Johnny doesn't go with Luca as I'm sure we still had a fairly stream of fan pictures taken outside of Elstree after Sam posted that picture. It only seems to be in the last few weeks that those have dried up (although I did notice one the other day, so maybe he's back filming now.) I think that Johnny will still be on screen for at least a few more weeks before having a break. There seems to be a lot of focus on the Carters at the moment so Johnny may well still be involved in storylines although I think after Luca goes, he'll probably take more of a backseat for a while.

Oh wow scoop has put a MASSIVE grin on my face
I'm glad he's going in for it quickly and somewhat "getting it over" the whole virginity thing. Not that there's anything to be embarrassed about but I think he is a bit, like when Lee said "has he done the deed?" and that it was "big news" that he was still a virgin. Even though it might be a brief fling, it's very realistic. Gay teens don't always end up having long term epic romances with their first so I'm really pleased EE are doing this. I kinda hope he goes with him and maybe they just end up keeping in contact as friends as they can't do the whole long distance thing, but I think even if it just short term it is kinda special how it's been done. That may sound a bit crazy and no one might get the same vibe, but I admire TPTB doing this.
But it would be when I'm going on holiday that it airs

Just found this link with an extra photo of them both:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/showbi...s-with-Italian

I think it could be a possibility that Johnny goes with him due to that Sam Strike quote "Something happens that forces Johnny to change course". Before, we all thought he meant going back home after his argument with Linda, but maybe its referring to a course to Italy?? doof doof?

Also, I can't seem to find any other articles saying about Johnny loosing his virginity. I hope he does though in a way, kinda want to see him grow up and enjoy his gay life now he has been set free by Linda.

That kiss in the Vic upstairs part must be the kiss before. And then Johnny takes my....I mean Gianluco's hand and slowly guides him towards the bedroom..... - I think a lot of people would wanna be in Gianluco's position here.

I still think their relationship would be moving extremely and unrealistically fast if Johnny actually went to Italy with Gianluco - not to mention how much Johnny would be sacrificing. If Gianluco was around for a couple months in Albert Square before going back to Italy then that'd make more sense. More than anything though I think Gianluco is nothing more than a plot point in Johnny finding himself and discovering more about his sexuality.

Other articles have been more subtle, saying that Johnny and Gianluco have fun upstairs. But I think readers are supposed to work out for themselves that that translates to you know what.

Not best pleased he loses his V so quickly tbh! I know it happens, but I'd have liked Johnny to lose it to a boyfriend, someone who he gets close to and they then decide to sleep together. This all seems very rushed?

Plus of course I'm extremely bloody jealous.

Over a little bit of armpit hair which like 95% of all men have? a little bit shallow and fickle dont you think? Besides IMO he can never take a bad photo! He is just so damn cute and sexy! I hope we get to see some shirtless scenes of him when he loses his virginity! Im such a perve!

Loving the pictures of Johnny & Luca kissing.... also totally loved how they first saw each other outside the pub. awkward smiles, and then confetti being thrown down on them, and others, but I just focused on them! and the way they brushed each others confetti away...aww. Just so sweet!

picture with Johnny as Baby Spice just cracks me up, lol! Can't wait to see that

If these episodes get complaints I will scream. Not a fan of homophobia. Plus let Johnny be happy for god's sake, he deserves it.

@Snap_Dragon bye then. go join another thread. you clearly weren't really into Sam Strike if you get funny over armpit hair. Doesn't phase me one bit. I still love the guy just as much. Sam is perfect just as he is.

I think he looks really cute here. There have been a few weird comments on this thread recently from people I'm not really all that convinced are Sam fans. Or if they are, they've got a strange way of showing it. Please remember this is an Appreciation Thread, and while not every post is always going to be 100% positive all the time, coming on here to actively discuss his looks in a negative way is not really what this thread is meant to be about.

Those homophobic comments are disgusting but what do we expect from readers of The Express? Possibly the most pathetic newspaper out there, and that's really saying something. Still, I'm not looking forward to the outrage that we're bound to get next week from a vocal minority that will DEFINITELY make themselves heard.

I do sort of agree with people who are saying that the relationship with Luca moves too quickly, but Johnny is a young man who has finally been given the freedom to spread his wings. It doesn't really surprise me that he rushes headfirst into this. I think he probably will realise that he's moved too quickly once Luca has gone and he's left with the reality of having lost his virginity to a guy he might not ever see again, but this is really relatable; so many teenagers lose their virginity in brief summer flings. I'd rather see Johnny try things out with a few different guys before settling into a long relationship.

Agreed, elly. Armpit hair or no armpit hair, Sam Strike is stunning.

I think the majority of active people on here (e.g. you, me, andreas, harry, hilduff, strawberry, and though he doesn't post as much nowadays macho) like or even love Sam Strike/Johnny Carter unconditionally, which is nice. But I do agree, if you have nothing nice or positive to say about Sam/Johnny on this thread then you really shouldn't be posting on here at all.

Like I said, if next Tues/Thurs episodes get complaints I will scream.

I guess I can kinda agree with you on the Luca thing. It will probably mean though that Johnny may be a bit more anxious about getting into a relationship after his summer fling with Luca. Johnny's next boyfriend will therefore probably be a little more serious. And don't even say the three letter 'b' word.

Hi Rooney14, welcome back.

And like Neu said, he's definitely in tonight's episode. He's also in tomorrow's, but not Thursday or Friday's.

come on....bring us that Johnny/Gianluca scene.....only 2 weeks!

And to the last few posts regarding that pic of Sam, I find it hard to understand how someone can go off him that quick. As far as I am concerned, he is a terrific actor, a very good looking fella, and a great supporter of LGBT Rights.

He has helped hundreds if not thousands of gay people to be proud of who they are, possibly even stopped someone from committing suicide when they were in too dark a place.

So honestly @Snap_Dragon? Armpit hair? You must be a really sad person....

@HarryMiller amen to that.

Tonight's episode was nice. The way Johnny hastily done up a button on his shirt. So cute! And to Luca's text - I'm sure a lot of people feel that way. Just saying.

Very well said. Nothing else to add really!

Johnny was cute in the brief scenes he had in today's episode. And it seems that Luca is as smitten as we all are.

Yeah I echo the "why all the Sam hate?" Picking on his looks is petty. He has a reddish about his hair course his body hair is going to be the same.
I do miss his short, perfect, pretty boy haircut from his first appearances but other than that doesn't matter what he wears, how his hair is, I'll still adore the character and Sam too
I was just thinking, what do people associate with Johnny? Like a trademark. I would say his chain
Lovely scenes tonight, it's nice to see him all soppy and happy. Lucky Luca!!

Yeah, I'll admit that I prefer his hair shorter than it is now but that's about as critical as I'm able to get. He still looks lovely however long is is, though.

I think for me I think about this lovely eyes and sweet soft voice. He also has a really cute nose (that's a really weird thing to say, isn't it?! )
