Anyone else think the writers should take this route with the characters?

I'd rather Kush and Jay, with Kush being a dominant top

Why does anyone think, Jay is going to turn homosexual overnight? Why not put Johnny with Lauren?? ( same logic )

I wonder what will happen between Johnny, Ben and Paul. Originally they were going to go down the route of Johnny and Ben, weren't they? I can see them revisiting them again, though I hope this doesn't affect Paul. He is a good character.

I've known men well into their 20s repress their homosexuality to even their own family. It's not as far-fetched as it might seem. If someone truly suffers from self-reflective homophobia then it's plausible they'd struggle with their identity into their 20s. It's plausible, not saying it's the most likely thing in the world but it could happen and treat right it would work.

Similarly Johnny and Lauren could happen, people also believe their gay for many years and suddenly realise their not. Sexuality isn't necessarily the same all the way through your life.

I think Paul will be axed to make way for Johnny & Ben to get together.

I have to disagree.

Ok, it's just that the gay people I know, always said they knew they were gay since childhood. Of course one hears about divorces & then going same sex, it can get complicated.

It wouldn't surprise me if it isn't Johnny who dates Paul

They might have known they were gay since they were childhood, doesn't mean anybody else will have.

They might've been heading with this storyline, but on screen Ben seemed to like Johnny, but Johnny only saw him as a friend. Johnny was trying to help Ben accept his sexuality and whilst in a fight with Lee, Ben called Johnny queer. After Ben apologised they became friends and at one point Ben tried to kiss Johnny who rejected and said 'What are you doing?'

I feel like Johnny will take time to accept his breakup with his boyfriend (assuming he's returned because they have broken up). Paul will feel lonely too since Ben is staying with Abi. Johnny and Paul could then start something which (not intentionally) makes Ben jealous. Either that or they could both remain single and friends.

I think they're more suited as a couple but they'll probably want a Mitchell and a Carter together

Jay and Johnny? No thanks. Jay and Ben? Yes please. The two of them have mad chemistry and a whole lotta history and basically make complete sense as a couple. Johnny needs to get together with the sexy paramedic, or failing that his silver fox university lecturer that Linda tried to harangue into bumping up Johnny's exam grades that one time.

I don't like Linzi, so I wouldn't mind Jay & Abi again (no idea why they split them up, tbh) once she's got her comeuppance for being a bunny boiling headcase with Ben.

I would like to see an older established gay male couple on the Square- a bit of realism would be nice.

Reality is overrated, gay porn drama is much more fun.

Paul will obviously be dropped eventually when Johnny is back. It's clear he's only ever been a replacement for Johnny anyway. I think a Johnny/Ben relationship has always been on the cards because of the obvious problems it will cause for Shirley.
