Craig & John Paul (spoilers)
John Paul and Craig get together...
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a4...and-craig.html not quite sure how i feel about this, Craig's always been straight but I can see how he would fall for him given everything that's happened. Hope the both actors play it well (this is Hollyoaks before people start saying 'what soap is this?)

its good, craigs always had terrible relationships with girls....maybe he just gets confused becuase he realises that someone loves him..i.e.JP
I think hollyoaks will do it justice and it wont be another sonia/naomi thing. Sonia was well established as straight, she was married and went out with jamie mitchell... Craig is still at an impressionbale stage and his character is still able to develop more...craigs always been a character that isnt one dimensional, its going to be great!!! |

I still think JP should be given a hot new boyfriend. Craig is just not suitable for him i feel.

I don't think it is going to be like Sonia/Naomi. That whole storyline was badly written, badly thought out and was (in the view of the majority of people I have spoken to) uttly rubbish. I think HO will deal with the whole thing much better. I, for one, am quite looking forward to it!
Although, I was starting to hope JP would get together with Russ. After the gay bar scene I thought they made a cute couple (and plus it would really annoy Mercedes which is always good in my book). |

I wouldn’t say Craig’s always been portrayed as straight, there was a period when I thought him and his step-brother “greasy” Darren Osborne were going to get it on
!!

I am looking forward to seeing how this story pans out, and how it develops. I kind of guessed that somewhere down the road they would get together after the kiss, it to me seemed like something the writers were heading to with the characters. Wonder when this will happen?

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
![]() Thank you, Lord!! I am amused by the line in the article that says: "Craig faces turmoil as he battles with his desires for both John-Paul and Sarah." Desire for Sarah?? Still?? Why??!! This has been one of the most sensitive, believable, well-written, excellently-acted and honest storylines in the history of the show, so I have faith that this new chapter will be handled with equal affection and intelligence.

But JP thinks he's good enough, so thats what counts.
I think it is totally believable that Craig falls for him. He has never had a friend like him - pkus there have been hints for months that they will eventually be together. |

Craig has never been exactly "macho", has he? None of his past relationships have worked out and he's often made a point of saying how he's been let down by girls in the past -- Darlene is a case in point. He has never had a friend like JP before, and I don't believe anyone has ever made him feel the way JP does. It is totally believable that they would eventually get together.
![]() Oh, speaking of Darlene; if she is to return as rumoured, do people think it will tie in with this storyline? Like, maybe she will want Craig back but be shocked that he is with JP, etc? It could also have something to do with Justin's [suspected] departure.

I also think that Craig has had disastrous relationships and only with girls he thinks are fit! And they cheat on him.

YESSSSS, so happy with this!! I adore Craig, and think the whole storyline has been handled excellently. Can't wait for this next chapter to unfold!

I think if HO hadn't decided to go futher with the JP/Craig story that would have been wrong!! They just get on so well - I am so looking forward to this storyline now!!

it's interesting to read some of the sceptics comments here.
On a personal note, I've never seen myself as being gay, but when a close friend came out it did (and still does) raise questions. Guess you wonder why that friendship was so special and if it had anything to do with him being gay. I've dipped in and out of Hollyoaks for a couple of years, and although I've not seen much of this storyline, the bits I have seen are sensitively done, with some parts ringing true. So it does happen, and it can happen, and well done to Hollyoaks for bringing the idea up. Personally, if they'd just bought in another character for JP it wouldn't have been the same and although it wouldn't have been a wrong move, I believe it's better they explore this side instead. |

Straight characters "suddenly" going gay just doesn't work for me. Same with Todd in Corrie and Sonja in EE - he'll go suddenly straight again when a hot new female is cast.

But this isn't a story about Craig TURNING gay - who's to say he even is?!
I don't think Craig would ever go for any other fella - its only JP he wants. And it has developed over months of friendship. |

As Laura_Lou said, it's not Craig turning gay. It's him having feelings for JP because of who he is regardless of him being male. Craig may realise that he is attracted to guys, as well as girls; or it may just be JP.
I believe sexuality is rarely that black and white, and we can fall for anyone regardless of what gender they are or what body they are packaged in! |

Very true... but think its a little bit different to any normal storyline. How often do we have gay couples on primetime? |
