I thought that as well, but I think he knows James is pretty scared of a relationship, and the money was a peace offering, so while annoyed JP loves emotionally unavailable men, they are catnip too him
I wasn't thinking about the money, I thought JP would have been angrier about what happened before (James offering to take care of him just to dump him 5 minutes later, and the bet thing).

But I guess JP, despite all his flaws, really is almost saint-like (and martyr-like) when it comes to forgiving people. He forgave Craig and Ste everything, for example. When he cares about someone, he'll forgive them anything.

On a totally off-topic note, Ahsan C's old channel was my go-to channel also for Robron and for Todd/Billy. Where am I going to watch those storylines tonight.. sigh LOL
He's been a trooper re-uploading stuff all through the day. I'm sure he'll get to it. I know there's other people uploading robron and tilly. Try Aaron fan on youtube for robron and sorenkingsley on tumblr for tilly.

he asked James if he was going to push him away again last time they slept together, so after being cross would have accepted it, plus he sounded so hopeful when he said james in fridays episode

Off-topic here, but I had no idea our soaps were so popular abroad! Are they considered particularly good quality compared to your home grown ones?

What makes soaps (English, German, etc) popular abroad are the gay storylines. Those are the storylines that get an international following, because there's a huge demand for them. Italy is still in the middle ages and we don't have gay storylines on tv, here, or if we have they are extremely short and totally censured.

Other than that, soaps are soaps everywhere, the pros and cons of the genre don't really change much from country to country!

That is such a hard question to answer. I'm South African but have been living in the UK for the last 5 years. I enjoyed watching the South African soaps when I lived there....and now I enjoy watching the soaps here. I go through phases though. When Chryed were in EE, I never missed it...but now I can't really be bothered to watch. I only started watching ED for Robron. I stopped watching HO a while ago and have only started watching again because of James and John Paul. So...not sure it is about the overall quality of the soaps but every now and again there is just a particular storyline that grips me. Does that make sense?

Mac and Marnie's relationship is really weird. It's like Sid and Nancy, but rather than either of them bearing the brunt of the violence and mental instability, it seems to be James

Todd and Billy's scenes from today.

Off-topic, but I'm so impressed with Coronation Street's writing of this couple. They're absolutely bang on; their chemistry is off the charts and their intimate scenes are smoking hot. From what was considered the most conservative and stuffy soap, I'm super impressed!

ETA: There's another part to be added shortly.

Thanks for the link!!!

I think it's safe to say that the most conservative soap is Emmerdale....

I like that JP will be there for James. Seems Marnie has been using him to get to Mac. He has to break free of her. She is possessive of both James and Mac

I think shes used both of them, James to be the ideal man, rich, sophisticated charming, and supports her, is too emotionally connected to her to ever leave and find someone else, so perfect for her
Mac because shes obsessed with him, like a drug cant break away from him, even uses her son to keep him connected to her, by fueling his violence and need for her

That kind of toxic mix could be dangerous for John Paul if/when he gets in too deep. I'd love some scenes between him and James' parents, knowing what he knows now.

Really? Is this something you've seen, like a spoiler? That'd be brilliant!

misread it sorry


Elsewhere, Myra takes Diego back when he defends her honour to Marnie and she has a con up her sleeve to make lots of money.

The HO You Tube account posted a clip from tonight's episode.... it shows Ellie being absolutely exstatic at the possibility of Mac and Marnie getting back together.

Poor James. I can see him feeling trapped, alone with his secret, while his whole family plays happy family again. Most certainly they won't believe him at first about the violence, they'll accuse him of making things up out of spite or jealousy.

They will eventually see Mac for who he is, but it won't be easy for James. I hope JP is there beside him every step of the way!

(or maybe Kirkwood will surprise me, and they'll believe James right away! Who knows)

Do we know if John Paul is in tonight's episode? This is the one with drunk James, but the spoilers don't mention anything further. I hope he is!

I've read somewhere that JP gets more and more worried about James as he hits the bottle... so he should be around, unless the spoilers are wrong (just like some spoilers were saying that James was going to find out about JP's returning eyesight from Celine, which never happened... he found out from JP directly).

That was the metro article and it was reviewing what had happened in the last episode. I honestly think the authors don't actually watch the episodes. However, I think JP will look out for James. In the autumn trailer he is looking at James with he sweetest smile. I think James needs to indicate out that someone can care about him without ulterior and selfish motives.
