Omg this is a major flashback to my obsession with hollyoaks and the couple I made my first youtube videos on (majority deleted by KZbin now 😭) this edit was perfect thank you so much 😍😍 this was an awesome trip down memory lane!!

[@littlewondersx]

[@Natuk86]

Beautiful! This song fit them perfectly. You did a fantastic job here! One of the best gay love stories featured in a soap. 15 years later I am rewatching John Paul & Craig’s story, still love it. McDean will always hold a special place in my heart! ❤️

[@unbreakablegirlxo]

Great job, girlie!! xox

[@kitafahey9154]

They chucked it all away for nout

[@loobyh6274]

James Sutton John-Paul actor wanted to come back Guy Burnet Craig actor did not he works in america. So they had to break they up as they chose not to recast Craig i still miss Mcdean no man has seemed as right for John-Paul than Craig

[@itts_graciexx7628]

where is 4:15 from? where john paul calls craig his first love?

[@lucyhowarth1193]

Sophie this is wonderful i don't understand though why hollyoaks would change Craig Guy Burnet Craig actor wanted to tell a different story to John-Paul Craig was not a coming out story but about a confusing deep love for one person this person just happens to be his bestfriend a guy Craig always knew he still fancied girls but that he loved John-Paul and every other time him and John-Paul had split up Craig was always meant to be with another woman Craig suddenly going for another man just makes Mcdean seem alot less special and undermines the way Guy Burnet wanted his character to be portrayed I understand splitting them up they didn't really have a choice about that because Guy was definetly not coming back and James was but why make Craig be with another guy he should of run off with another girl instead

[@lucyhowarth1193]

@history account during the Mcdean affair Craig really did have the best of both worlds getting to sleep with Sarah and John-Paul at the same time because Craig did still fancy Sarah although he didn't love her anymore He knew nobody would understand His sexuality even John-Paul didn't understand how Craig felt about his own sexuality in John-Paul eyes you sleep with another guy your definetly gay oh of course im not gay i just sleep with a fellow that is it's pathetic just me be honest if not for me than for yourself Craig im not gay fine then forget it forget everything forget me even when a much matured Craig returned a year later for the sunset episodes Craig told John-Paul i met a girl and we went through the motions for six months i didn't feel much but John-Paul did it get any easier Craig no at times id think of reasons not to go to bed with her kissing her was just the reason why Craig didnt enjoy sleeping with his ex isn't because he was gay but rather he knows he doesnt love her and that he was sleeping with the wrong person cause he knew that he was still inlove with JP Craig i don't want to hear it Craig i couldn't stand it that is when I had to tell her JP you told her you were gay Craig i told her i was still inlove with ex when Craig kissed John-Paul in public and they were on the train together Craig made a steve McQueen joke to John-Paul when we get to Dublin if anyone asks your my cousin steve everyone thinks that I'm straight John-Paul looks exasperated at Craig what Craig looks away and then smiled im messing he threw his arm around John-Paul neck John-Paul clutched Craig hand and kissed Craig Neck Craig sister later joked about Craig sexlife with John-Paul what with you being gay i just assumed Craig well excuse me I'm not gay Steph you kiss boys Craig i kiss a boy Steph bet that's not all you do Craig well on occasions we hold hands ok Satisfied Steph i bet John-Paul isn't After they split up the first time and Craig was dating another woman John-Paul believed that Craig was going back into complete denial regarding his sexuality John-Paul later said about Craig i don't think that Craig ever came to terms with being gay John-Paul never understood that he was the special case that Craig knew he didnt desire any other man other than John-Paul but that Craig was proud to be with him and kiss him in public even if that meant others believed he was gay Holloyaks producers have really annoyed me here making Craig go off with another man on the reveal episode John-Paul said to Craig I'm sorry that everyone knows that you get off on undressing boys as well as girls when for Craig there was only one man he wanted to undress and give his heart too no other man stood a chance with Craig i don't get why hollyoaks couldn't of honoured that aspect about Craig

[@lizziemurphy9276]

Have they said why they split up? I haven't watched it in years but know they split them up again and have been waiting for the answer as to why?

[@loobyh6274]

@@lizziemurphy9276 JohnPaul said they had kind of grown apart JohnPaul said they wanted different things JohnPaul wanted to be with his family and Craig wanted to be with a personal trainer names Hans. Craig would never of gone with another bloke it just doesn't fit his Character.
