John Paul & Carter - 1/4/24

[@jennylazo8960]

i love john paul ❤

[@Terry-dl4nf]

Yes, he's lovely, isn't he. But they never allow any of his relationships to work, so I fear he's in for more heartbreak with Carter. Pity, because they are so good together and the chemistry is fantastic. Cheers Jenny. Terry

I 😍 James Sutton.

[@Chenfordfan]

John Paul and Carter look so good together I hope they end up together Carter deserves to be himself and John Paul deserves to be happy I hope they get together ❤️

[@BobbyBaylor]

I'm hoping this storyline builds to one glorious moment when Carter finally grows a pair and announces to everyone who he really is and who he really loves. John Paul watches Carter's speech and is so proud, and our boys finally get to really be the cute couple we saw at the beginning of this clip.

[@Terry-dl4nf]

Carter and John Paul looked so great walking together at the beginning of this episode, both happy in each other's company and looking like a real couple, which was so nice. The show's writers could develop something really special between them here, but they seem to think their audience wants to see break-ups and turmoil, whereas I reckon the majority of us would love to see these two get together?

[@twiggledowntown3564]

It looked like they were locking arms at first.

[@Chenfordfan]

I agree they looked so good waking together I do hope they end up together

[@Terry-dl4nf]

@@twiggledowntown3564 Yes, it did, they were walking so close together, laughing and smiling, it looked like they were a happy gay couple in love!

[@Terry-dl4nf]

@@Chenfordfan I really hope so too - they could be very special

[@MickeyLu11]

david needs to be nominated next year for something to do with this storyline or his acting, he’s so good

[@itsonlysound]

Carter inadvertently created a monster in Gareth. Also, if this storyline is supposedly heading in the conversion therapy direction for Lucas too, then it makes no sense. Lucas grew up in a gay friendly environment and he doesn't have a religious bone in his body. Religion-based conversion therapy isn't a believable option for him.

Me laughing out loud when JP said this was going to be a great year- famous last words😂

[@swordscot]

“Got me a little something “. The scriptwriters are having a ball with this.

[@gareth.6657]

entirely too much fun.😂

[@anngillingsspinks2799]

I wish all the Hollyhock a wonderful new year many thanks for your wounderfull story’s stars of the future ❤ 4

[@Terry-dl4nf]

The chemistry between Carter and John Paul is fantastic ... but the writers never allow any of John Paul's relationships to work out, so I fear he and we are in for more heartbreak. Surely they can let John Paul finally have a relationship which is fulfilling and loving ... he deserves it and I'm sure we would all love to see he and Carter settle down together as a supportive and loving couple, rather than having some heart-wrenching bust up. Personally. I believe if the writers developed their relationship properly, then they could be fantastic together, along the lines of Robert & Aaron or Ben and Callum?

[@petermukasa3093]

Well, if they gave Ste a stable 6 year marriage with the annoyingly pompous James, surely they can give something concrete to JohnPaul. The only good relationship he had was the few months he had with Craig, but everything else was horrible. They always give him terrible closet cases like Kieron the priest, George Kiss the policeman, a drugged out Ste, a pompous James ,etc

[@Terry-dl4nf]

@@petermukasa3093 Absolutely, Peter. When you look back at John Paul's relationships it has been one disaster after another, as you point out. And when you look at his relationships, it's like they've given him a go with every gay man in sight! And always a disaster! Same with Ste .... is there any gay man in the village that Ste hasn't fallen in love with??! I'm a gay man, and I know we can be promiscuous, but Hollyoaks is like a gay musical chairs! Cheers, Terry

[@itsonlysound]

That is probably where their relationship is headed. Obviously nothing ever lasts on HO but I would assume Carter and JP will be together properly at the end of this storyline.

[@petermukasa3093]

@itsonlysound that will be interesting to see. Putting aside Carter's internalised self-loathing, did he really forgive and move on from the accident where JP put his daughter in a wheelchair? I would be hesitant to sleep next to someone whose child I paralysed, accident or otherwise. What if he strangles me in the night?

[@Terry-dl4nf]

@@itsonlysound I sure hope so, but not holding my breath for a "Happy ever after' ending. Cheers

[@yourtravelswithbruce]

Take me to church. Perfect.

[@mjstwilight]

We need another man do JP to make Carter jealous

[@BovitosumiBovitosumi]

Nice to see them togather. Loves their chemestry.

[@kristineandersen6762]

I am sick of the slow burn of Dillon and Lucas. I am enjoying JP and Carter much more.

[@itsonlysound]

Child relationships are always much lower stakes than adult ones and therefore, far less interesting.

[@tyrionlannister6459]

I think they’re waiting till the character is 16

[@Js2Jo]

John Paul

[@asspartacus]

Amazing development of the storyline

[@陳進萬-i3d]

❤❤

[@jiobrooks703]

Dude there is one way to fix all of this damn it lol

[@davidbaldwin2725]

I hope that Carter shepherd will end up with John Paul because Carter shepherd fancies John Paul so much and i think Carter would be a good person for John Paul because John Paul Deserves to be happy and i think they would be a good match together

[@dangelo8272]

Who’s the character who pushed Carter on the floor?

[@madabbafan]

One of Carter's conversion therapy victims

[@annasmith9182]

😢😢😢

[@kaitlynrowena5463]

anyone known when they properly showed buff John Paul lol his arms got huge!

[@da96103]

I don't think Gareth is the toilet eavesdropper. The toilet guy would have shown an audio recording of: Deeper John Paul, deeper!

[@BobbyBaylor]

HA! That would be hot. But audio could be anybody. A picture is worth a thousand words

[@tyrionlannister6459]

They should just write out the jp character out of show,this history is just like his coming out chasing someone deep in the closet

[@Tiekin515]

Just great things were going great with John paul and cater now this, wonder how long carter is going to try and stay away from john paul. Hope they don't have john paul dating someone else, and then he finds out whats going on with carter and then there's an affair or something

[@Tiekin515]

I knew it was gareth had a feeling

[@planningwithjohn]

John Paul needs to save himself.

[@tonymacintosh3744]

those 2 guys do not need the extra drama around it, they are perfectly fine but ..... here we are

[@twiggledowntown3564]

😲 😯

[@WindellGrooms]

JP should move on.

[@StewNWT]

Oh god dude it’s 2023 this storyline is so dumb

[@BobbyBaylor]

It's still very real for people coming from conservative and/or religious backgrounds. Not everybody gets to be "out" from birth and have their family accept it
