JP & James?

First of all, I have to say: vacatin mode! I'm not doing much actually. Sitting in my sofa knitting... Watching some youtube of course... But, before I went to Estonia I had catched up in Hollyoaks (at least what's interesting, and that's NOT Starry) and as you know I really enjoyed McDrink! I actually love McDrink! But, bak home again I was told that JP had a relationship rollercoster including both Scott and James Nightingale! Don't go there again JP!

Gregory Finnegan & James Sutton.

So, before I went away I was actually considering start watching whole episodes of Hollyoaks again but now I'm just not sure... Or I mean, no, I'm not ready yet. With McDrink together and Starry broken up it would have been worth it but now JP has a thin for James it seems and Starry is back together. What are you doing Hollyoaks?! I don't like it at all!

Gregory Finnegan as James Nightingale.

And I'm really split about James Nightingale. I mean, I love that there is a new gay character in Hollyoaks and I love a gay villain, but do I like James? Not really I think. I could accept him being with Harry and ruining the dreadful Starry but do he really have to ruin McDrink? Maybe James and John Paul would be good together but who will Scott be with then? I really think he deserves a great boyfriend! No, I think James could be with Harry so Starry would break up for good, McDrink would stay together and Brendan could come back from prison and sort Ste up for a wonderful and awaited Stendan reunion! I would love that! Because seriously, it's just ridiculus with John Paul and a James! Weren't there any available names or what?

Bye bye Nuke!

Jake Silbermann & Van Hansis.

I've finally finished the whole Nuke storyline! And I am a bit shattered. In the beginning I loved them! I couldn't understand why my faghag friend didn't like them and felt a bit newly in love. It's been a while since I found a long, finished storyline with a supercouple that I could just keep watching without have to wait for new episodes, that I really liked. So I really enjoyed it! Van Hansis is one of my favourites. I like his character, Luke Snyder, and I adore the actor. Jake Silberman, who plays Noah Mayer, was a bit shaky in the beginning, but he also became a really good actor! So thumbs up! I loved even though the were really stingy with snogging in the beginning. But as the storyline continued, the more kissing we got and Luke and Noah/Van and Jake became more an more confortable together. And it became reaaaally boring. I hate to say it, but after a while it bace such a snooze fest. And I knew about what was going to happen. I am constantly spoiling my self just to not get disappointed. It's a very good stratergy. Because of that I did survive what happened...

Van Hansis & Eric Sheffer Stevens.

Luke and Reid happened and OMG! I was really not looking forward to that! I hated Dr Reid Oliver in advance and when he showed up I thought "Let's just get it over with", but then oh my! Even though I knew, SPOILER ALERT, that Reid was going to die and I didnt really stopped shipping Nuke, I started to ship LuRe (not the bes ship name though) so hard! Dr Reid Oliver is just the best gay character ever, alongside Brendan Brady in Hollyoaks. He is rude, arrogant and full of him self and just such an amazing person! It becomes really clear in the end.

Dr Reid Oliver.

Dr Reid Oliver, played by Eric Sheffer Stevens, was killed off way to early! Like two or so episodes before As the World Turns ended in 2010. Way to early! I just think it's so unecessary to kill off characters in the end. I know, it's for the drama, but why does it always have to be the best characters and the gay guys?! Really heart breaking! I do hope to see Eric Sheffer Stevens in something else. He is amazing!

So, where does it leave me? Well, I'm still a Nuke shipper, I just ship LuRe more! I mean, Reid is dead so if there can't be a sunset ending for LuRe, to ship Nuke is better than nothing. They are still cute. There's still something. And it ended promising for all the Nuke shippers. I liked the end. Open. It's good. But if you feel a bit unsatisfied with that, watch the fanvid below. It's very well done and it's satisfying. And Luke's haircut has its own life.

Stendan in 106 inches

Emmett J. Scanlan and Kieron Richardson.

Do you know what's really great? To watch Stendan in Dublin on a big screen. 106 inches to be accurate. Brendans mustache is really big! And that's about all the Hollyoaks I get right now! I've gone from Hollyoaks-lover to Hollyoaks-loather. I won't return until Ste breaks up with Harry or John Paul get a new love. And that's it!

Movember

Ok, I'm back. But barely. I still miss Lalle. This is a great loss for mer. But ok, life has to go on. And I still have hope!

Dolph Lundgren.

What you can see above is Dolph Lundgren as a läderbög, a leather gay that is, in the Swedish show Melodifestivalen. That is what you might think of when you think of gays with a mustache. But I have to tell you, there's not many ut there! At least not many that I have found. Here's my finds:

Emmett J. Scanlan as Brendan Brady.

Of course there's Brendan Brady, the super villain in Hollyoaks. The villain we all love to love because we just can't hate him! I absolutely adore both Brendan and Emmett. But that's old news. Oh I do miss Brendan! And his mustache! Best tash ever!

Murray Bartlett as Dom Basaluzzo.

And here's Dom in Looking. A funny story actually, Murray Bartlett had his mustache grow when he was in Egypt not to look like a tourist and to fit in and he still had it whn he auditioned for Looking and when he got the part they asked him to keep it. An excellent story! Dom is quite boring but at least he is anice guy. With a nice mustache.

John Partridge who played Christian Clarke.

When Jon Partridge came back for Lucy's funeral in 2014 suddenly he had a mustache! I'm not sure if I like it... Mustaches are usually quite creepy. If you have a mustache you should also have a beard! If you're not Brendan Brady that is. Even though I love Emmett with a beard! But at least we can guess that Syed like's the tash. Or at least tolerates it.

Petteri Paavola with a tash.

Ok, this is not really Elias but Pauli, and it's not Salatut Elämät but Satula. but Petteri Paavola has a mustache. He got that from travelling around the world. Perhaps he was in Egypt to?

So, that was all I found. Do you know any more on screen gays with a tash? Pleease tell me!

The Hollyoaks gays

Ok, because of the celebration of Hollyoaks 20 years I think I will have a small Hollyoaks special here on the blog. That could be a sequel, because there's just so much to tell! Hollyoaks has dealed with a lot of LGBT related issues through the years with two gay rapes, at least two transsexuals, a poly relationship, crossdressing more than once and lot's and lot's more. But let's just concentrate on the gay regular characters for a while.

James Sutton as John Paul McQueen.

It all started with John Paul McQueen in 2006. He fell in love with his best friend Craig Dean who he had a secret relatiosnhip with and both dated a DJ and a priest before he left the show in 2008. Thank gods he returned in 2012, after James Sutton made a litte voyage in Emmerdale as a straight character, who actually worked with Aaron Livesy. The world is quite small indeed. Then he slept with Ste's great big love, Brendan Brady, dated Ste's ex Doug for a short while, had a secret relationship with Ste's dad, Danny Lomax, before he ended up with Ste Hay himself! And they broke up and he also had an affair with his cousin's husband, Lockie. A lot has happened to John Paul McQueen! And I love him, both John Paul and James Sutton. I hope he will stay for a long time this time around!

Jake Hendriks plays Kieorn Hobbs.

So, Kieron Hobbs played by Jake Hendriks. The gay catholic priest who stopped preaching for love. He was a nice guy but I never really liked him. He was quite boring and he just wasn't Craig Dean! So I never really liked him with John Paul. But he didn't deserve to die. Damn Niall. Well, Kieron wasn't a regular for so long, about a half year, but I think he was a popular character in the show. Everybody liked the priest. Except for Myra McQueen for a while when she discovered his relationship with John Paul...

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay.

And then there's the lovely Ste Hay. I have to say that he is lovely, even though he started up as a bad guy who tormented por Amy and cut her hair. Ste is just so dum, but of so wonderful! He can't help that he is a twat, because he is damaged goods. But he also has a good heart and you just have to love him! Even though he always takes the wrong decisions! Every time! But he is also very cute and funny. And I just love Kieron Richardson so much! he is an amazing actor! I don't always agree Ste in his choice of boyfriends though. He started off with Brendan Brady, who also abused him, then he dated the boring Noah Baxter for a while, then there was a bit more of Brendan, then Doug then more Brendan, then more Doug and then finally John Paul. Unfortunately he has moved on with Harry lately. I do ot approve and I am just waiting for Christmas and the McHay reunion that we are all waiting for!

Emmett J. Scanlan as Brendan Brady.

An then, my personal favourite, Brendan Brady. I know that he is a super villain, but it's just not possible to dislike him! He was really treating Ste like shit for so long, and he didn't really deserve our love right then, but Emmett J. Scanlan is doing such a tremendous job and he is just so brilliant! Brendan Brady will for ever be my favourite gay character in Hollyoaks, and that's because of Emmett. John Paul is the most sympathique character, but Brendan is just the best! He was so weird and funny. It's so obvious that Brendan has a lot of diagnoses and he makes a lot of sick stuff, but we always forgive him. I mean, is there anyone out there who doesn't love Brendan Brady? Ste was the love of his life but he also had a one night stand with John Paul as told before, and he also seduced Ste's boyfriend Noah just to get Ste back. He did everything for love except for sacrifice his sister. I am still a bit bitter for that. Damn you Brendan!

Law Thompson plays Noah Baxter.

I never liked Noah Baxter so I won't dwell on him. He was boring, he was totally wrong for Ste (rebound) and I never really got why he snogged Brendan. Ok, Brendan is amazing, but Noah hated him! I do not miss him at all.

P J Brennan as Doug Carter.

Doug Carter was Ste's first husband who kind of sorted him out when he was atrain wreck after Brendan. And Doug was lovely! He started off as straight, but then he came out after falling for Ste. And even though I am a Stendan shipper, I really liked Stug. They were just good together. And it might be so that I accepted Doug because I knew that Ste would choose Brendan anyway. In any case, they were really cute together and they were also very good for eachother. Unfortunately Doug had to die. That was really a shame. And I also liked Doug with John Paul. They were cute to. I miss Doug. I think Doug could come back as a ghost for Ste just like Steph Dean did for him. That would be great!

Steven Roberts as George Smith.

And here's an underrated gay character. George Smith was a regular in Hollyoaks in 2001-2014 and according to me he never got the gay storyline he deserved. It was just boring stuff with other character's in focus. He had one serious relationship with Vincent Elegba, but they were really boring together. He also had some kind of crush on Ste, who he also lost his virginity to, and he also almost had the hots for Danny Lomax a short while. I would like to have seen more of that. But at least he got a happy ending when he left Hollyoaks for London and Vincent. I hope he will come back some time I miss his funny character and his always amazing and a bit tacky clothes. I think he would be great with Scott actually! Could we please see that Hollyoaks?

John Omole as Vincent Elegba.

I don't really have much to say about Vincent. I haven't seen the storyline about him and George enough to have an oppinion about him, more than that it was quite boring and that Vincent seemed like a nice guy, but boring. Not enough sparks basically. But at least they got to have sex at last. And an happy ending. But boring.

Ross Adams as Scott Drinkwell.

Oh Scott how I disliked you in the beginning. But now I love you! Scott Drinkwell was a pain in the ass when he arrived because he was a threat to McHay, but now he is really funny and cute and I so would like to see him in a real storyline in the name of lööve. There's not much to choose from if George doesn't come back, that is, but for Harry or maybe Lockie. I think I could live with both the alternatives. He thinks that Harry is cute, but I think that he is maybe a bit young. But I would really like Lockie Campbell in a real "can't-live-without-eachother"-storyline, and why not with Scott? Or at least give him a great new character to play with! Just keep him of Ste and John Paul!

Parry Glasspool as Harry Thompson.

Last, and least right know, there's Harry Thompson. Harry is young and innocent and completely wrong for Ste if you ask me. If you read y blog you already know that I am not a fan of Starry. I see no sparks and I am just longing for McHay so much right know. I couldn't care less for Starry! Harry actually started of with a small crush for, and snog with, John Paul and I liked that much more. I could see it. But I just can't see Harry with Ste. It came from nowhere and makes no sense at all! Please break up soon!

So, that was all the regular gay characters in Hollyoaks. I don't think I have missed anyone. But there are a lot more to that show! Hollyoaks is really the best soap opera to watch if you are a faghag!

Happy 20th Hollyoaks!

Hollyoaks gays.

So, Hollyoaks turned 20 years! How great is that?! I guess it comes as no surprise that I am a huge Hollyoaks fan! Hollyoaks have had a lot of gay characters through the years. And not just that a lot of bisexuals, lesbians, crossdessers, transvestites and transgenders to. I guess that's why I love the show so much. That and much more! So can we just take a few moments to appreciate John Paul, McQueen, Kris Fisher, Craig Dean, Ravi Roy, Kieron Hobbs, Ste Hay, Brendan Brady, Noah Baxter, Doug Carter, George Smith, Vincent Elegba, Danny Lomax, Lockie Campbell, Scott Drinkwell and Harry Thompson. And many many more.

Gay Times front pages.

Let's also take some time to appreciate how Gay Times has appreciated the Hollyoaks beaty through the years. I think that Kieron Richardson is their favourite. Mine are Emmet J. Scanlan.. and James Sutton... and Kieron Richardson... and...

Starry

Parry Glasspool and Kieron Richardson.

Sorry guy but I am _not_ in love with Starry. Not at all. I like Harry a lot. He is a great guy and I really think his worth a real romance, but why Ste? It just came from nowhere! I mean, he had a thing for John Paul a while ago, and what made him go for his husband instead? Because that's what he is. Ste is still married to John Paul, and know he is snogging Harry while he is in a "serious" relationship with Sinead! I mean, what is that?! Sinead is not a gay man and Harry is 17! Hollyoaks, what are you doing? When are you going to bring back McHay, which is the most sane thing in Ste's lovelife since Brendan?! And Doug, for all means. I no there is a lot of anti-McHay shippers out there, but come on. You can't really be shipping Starry? A low-water mark from Hollyoaks. I hope Christmas day will come soon.

Stendan feels

It is really easy to get serious Stendan feels by watching this amazing fanvid. The song is also very suitable. And really, I've talked about it before but it is very strange how you feel about fictional characters in contrast to real life people. I would so detest Ste for how he treated Amy and everybody else before he got in control of his anger. And I could never stand watching Ste giving Brendan chance after chance while he was using him and expose him for that abuse. But this is a soap opera and I just can't help being a Stendan shipper. And I am sure the magic just wouldn't be there without the great acting skills from Kieron Richardson and Emmett J. Scanlan. More intense chemistry between two actors you have to look hard for! Thank you Hollyoaks for this!

Annoying

I am really quite annoyed by Hollyoaks. I mean, what are you doing to all the storylines?! First this HIV business, then John Paul snogged Harry and then the dreadful Scott came along! And don't even mention the kerfuffle with Sinead! And then John Paul BROKE UP with Ste! Ok, I do understand him, Ste is really utterly stupid right now, and John Paul really deserves better, but anyway! And we all know that Ste is going to hook uo with Harry, and I hate that. It really doesn't rime well in my ears. And then this is going to happen:

I mean, WTF?! Why oh why?! Ok, it's James himself who decided to leave Hollyoaks, but why?! The tranny storyline about Dylan has just started! I was so excited abou that that I kind of hope that they will recast him. I mean, that is not that uncommon in soaps, and Hollyoaks is no exception. Both Darren, Cindy, Holly and Harry has been recasted through the years. I really do think that that is a too important storyline just to scrap like that. Please, Hollyoaks, please!

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay and James Sutton as John Paul McQueen.

At least we can hope for this. And I really do hope that McHay will be reunited. I really didn't think I would like John Paul and Ste together but I really do! I think they are really cute and that they have amazing chemistry. I mean, if Brendan Brady will never return to Ste, John Paul McQueen is the second best thing. And also, I really think that they will meet under the archway at Christmas day. James Sutton has insinuated it, and really, it is served to us like they will. Don't blow this Hollyoaks!

The lovely Emmett

And speaking of Hollyoaks, if you don't already follow Emmett J. Scanlan on twitter and instagram, just do it! Once in a while you will get a glimpse of what a wonderful and lovely person he is! Today this happened:

I really adore him! He is just such a lovely person! And so, ths weekend is when it happens! I am sure Kieron Richardson's wedding will be divine! And even though I am a McHay shipper (ish) now (the storyline really bores me though because nothing really happens and when it happens it's something bad) I would not say no to a Brendan Brady return and a Stendan reunion! I love Brendan.

Alibi freundins

Speaking of girls who fall in love with gays, why don't wee talk a bit about the alibi girlfriends as well, the beards? It's called an alibi freundin in German. Ok, I know, they are the victims, and they are really taken advantage of. They have never asked to be used like that. But they can still be a bit annoying... And there is a lot of them!

First of all we have the legal ones.

Christian and Judith in Verbotene Liebe.

Judith Hagendorf (Katrin Heß) was living with Christian and Olli when they got together and because of his boxing career, and we all know that the the boxing culture is quite homophobic, som Christian needed a beard and Judith helped out. Even though she had a boyfriend. And then Christian came out with lots of noice on a boxing game. I really liked Judith. She was a lovely girl.

Joscha and Raquel in Alles Was Zählt.

Then we had the wonderful Raquel Santana (Yara Hassan) of Alles Was Zählt. She wanted to stay in Germany so she even married Joscha just to be his alibi. And here is a quite similar story, because Joscha had to stay in the closet because of his footbaal (soccer) career, and we all know that the football culture is quite homophobic. But it is only getting better and better! Raquel was hilarious, and I really liked it when she dated Ingo, who is a real favourite character in Alles Was Zählt. Unfortunately she died not long ago, because the writers of Alles Was Zählt is trying to make it some kind of middle-aged soap. I do not approve!

Joscha and Mel in Alles Was Zählt.

But this was not poor old Joscha's first beard. At first he dated Melanie "Mel" Wendt (Anna-Katharina Fecher) "for real" just to hide his homosexuality. Mel is a really shallow character that seemed to only date Joscha to be a football wife. But it seemed that she really liked him, but she was quite brutally dumped. Joscha just couldn't induce himself to have sex with her, which is understandable. After Joscha she also dated  our wonderful Deniz, who really needs to have a new man in his life! Especially when all the girls he is dating are sissys. I really do not care for Mel at all, even though she is Ingo's step daughter and even though she really didn't deserve to be used like that. A really boring, and bitchy, character.

Nina and Deniz in Alles Was Zählt.

And speaking of Deniz, he also had a beard once. It might have been that he quite fancied Nina Sommer (Nathalie Thiede) at first, but they really didn't mash work together but I think that he really delayed the breaking up because he was afraid of his feelings for Roman. Lovely Roman... Nina was a real bitch when Deniz had ended it with her and started dating Roman, but she matured a lot and in the end (she left in 2009) she was so likeable. She was a real good friend to Deniz and she was all supportive of DeRo. As should!

Lenny and Emily in Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten.

And of course, there has been an alibi freundin in Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten as well. And at least this time, Lenny actually was in love with Emily Höfer (Anne Menden) at the beginning, even though he was gay. But you don't fall in love with a gender. And I really didn't like Emily. She really was in love with Lenny and tried to please him so much, I have to give her that but she wasn't really that nice. Not during the relationship with Lenny or after. But I read that she did date Tuner after Lenny and I like him, so she might have become better lately. I don't know.

Iida and Lari in Salatut Elämät.

And speaking of really annoying girls Iida Mustonen (Rosa Rusanen) is really annoying! Ok, she usually is a really good friend to both Lari and Elias, especially Elias, but you will have to look hard for a more whining character! And she is really moody as well and Iida is a character that you never really get to know. If you are following a soap you wil get to know the characters so you will know how they will react in different situations but with Iida you will never really know. She changes all the time and it's like the writers can't agree to how to chracterize her. Really annoying! And she really just snogged with Lari to piss off Janne at first but then she got all in love, pregnant and anorectic and even more whining. Poor Iida.

Will and Gabi in Days of our lives.

And speaking of pregnant, Gabi Hernandez (Gabriela Rodriguez) got the baby, but she waiting almost until the baby was born before she told Will. Well, just what to expect of Days of our lives. Ok, I haven't watched the whole WilSon storyline, I have to confess, because I don't really enjoy it. But I don't really unlike Gabi, but I don't like her either. A quite bland character. Nothing to get excited about.

Hannah and John Paul i Hollyoaks.

And then we have poor old Hannah Ashworth (Emma Rigby) in Hollyoaks that I told you about yesterday. John Paul used her, and we did pity her, and she was alright, but also a bit bland. Moving on.

Rae and Ste in Hollyoaks.

But Hannah is not the only beard we have seen in Hollyoaks. Ste also had one. When he and Brendan was top secretly seeing eachother, Brendan actually told Ste to get a beard. Unfortunately Rae Wilson (Alice Barlow) got the blank lottery ticket. She was a lovely girl that Ste actually had a good eye to the last time she lived in Hollyoaks. But poor Rae really wasn't in a good luck. At first she got pregnant with Ste, caught Ste and Brendan in the act, lost the baby and then got murdered by the notorious Silas Blisset. But not in the same night thankfully. And I liked Rae, even though she was in the way for Stendan, one of my favourite ships.

Cleo and Harry in Hollyoaks.

But we also have two ungoing beard-storylines, and one of them in Hollyoaks. Of course. Hollyoaks have got everything! Are newest addition to the LGBT characters in Hollyoaks is Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool) and he is Tony Hutchinson's son. He came around in February (second time with the same actor) and I love him already. First it seemed like he fancied Cleo McQueen (Nadine Ros Mulkerrin) but then he made out with John Paul in The Loft! And he is only 15! There are really no excuses for John Pauls behaviour even though he didn't know about his age. But he is married to Ste and should be snogging some random scamps in The Loft. But ok, they have had rough time with all the HIV and stuff, but he still shouldn't have done it! And now it seems like Harry really has a crush on John Paul, who is his teacher! What a kerfuffel! And the lads at school are for some reason teasing Harry about John Paul because they know that John Paul is gay and to save his skin, Harry made out with Cleo and seems to be dating her now. Poor Cleo really like Harry and Harry seems to have a crush on John Paul and this could really be a mess!

Ben and Abi in Eastenders.

And at last I present to you Bem Mitchell and his beard Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) in Eastenders. I mean, what is he doing? We all know that he is gay. He used to fancy Christian Clarke (which he also accused of assault) and he came out for his dad Phil and he tried to snog Johnny Carter before he went away. What about all this closetness now? He really have no need for a beard. Abi seems to be a sweet but quite bland girl. No really, dump her and bring back Johnny! Or do a cross over where he starts dating Finn in Emmerdale. Or maybe Harry in Hollyoaks. Anything is better than this!

McDean

I felt McDean deserved an own post. I love McDean. Even though I love McHay as well. But it all started with McDean.

Guy Burnet as Craig Dean and James Sutton as John Paul McQueen.

It is a quite classic storyline with two troubled teenagers who becomes friends and does everything for eachother. They do everything from get into eachothers fights to dates two best girlfriends. Craig Dean, who is played by Guy Burnet, is dating Sarah Barnes and they have a quite stable relationship for som time. John Paul on the other hand, who we all know is a closeted gay is dating Hannah Ashworth, who is quite a goose actually. Very wimpy indeed. They are a bit on-and-off, because John Paul is not really enjoing the relationship, with all that implies (snogging and sex), because he is really in love with his best friend Craig. He actually tells him at one time because he can't bear it anymore, which leads to a bit of knot of the thread for his and Craig's friendship. They are also a bit on-and-off actually.

The first kiss.

But the strong friendship leads to a drunken kiss at a party which Hannah sees, and you can only imagine the rest. John Paul is actually wrongly to take the blame for the kiss because he is gay, but it is so obvious that it is Craig who kisses him. Well well...

Tom Vaughan as Spike and James Sutton as John Paul.

Nothing really happens though, cause Craig still dates Sarah and Johhn Paul meets his first boyfriend Spike, played by Tom Vaughan. I kind of like Spike. He s a nice guy. But Craig doesn't really like him and Hannah absolutely hates him! For no reason! But Craig is a bit jealous and it all leads up to him not being able to resist John Paul anymore, so they end up having sex. All on Craig's initiative.

Craig and John Paul after their first time.

Of course, Craig has a bit hard to handle what happened, and he seems a bit regretful. But it doesn't take long before the both has a secret relationship. But Craig's problem is he loves both John Paul and Sarah, and he is not able to choose. At last, he does choose John Paul theoreticly, but in practice. It goes so far as that Craig and Sarah gets engaged and John Paul makes her find out about him and Craig on their engagement party. And mayhem is on.

Craig and John Paul.

But it turns out well, because Craig is happy with his "choice" and he asks John Paul to move to Dublin with him, where he is going to study. But of course, no happiness lasts in Hollyoaks, John Paul doubts that Craig really love him because he can't show affection in public and he dumps him on the airport. It is all very sad. Craig gets to go to Dublin himself.

James Sutton and Jake Hendriks.

Back home in Hollyoaks, John Paul starts to have a secret relationship with the local priest Kieron Hobbs (Jake Hendriks). What's so shocking about that you might ask, but Kieron is a catholic priest and you all know about the chastity vow. Kieron is a quite nice man and a fun character, even though he is a priest, but he is quite boring as a bofriend I think. I mean, he is not Craig. But Craig comes back and John Pauls half brother Niall (long story) kills Kieron and John Paul has a hard time delaing with that. He even decides not to go with Craigto Dublin like he promised, because he is tormented with guilt. And he actually loved Kieron...

The sunset ending.

But John Paul changes his mind in the last minute and meets up with Craig at the train station and they get their sunset ending at last. And it could have ended like that. But it didn't. James Sutton went to Emmerdale for a while, but he had the good taste of returning to Hollyoaks after some years. Guy Burnet didn't so the story was told that Craig left John Paul just about as their baby (Matthew) was about to be born and John Paul slept with Brendan, dated Doug for a while, was Danny's dirty secret for a while before he ended up with Ste. And there we are now in a very messy HIV-storyline. I love John Paul and Ste together, and I really am a McHay shipper, but I am also a McDean shipper. But I've told you that before.

I really like the McDean storyline though. The story has just the right amount of agony as I like, and the actors, especially James Sutton, are brilliant! But Craig is straight though. He just fell i love with John Paul, an I guess it was expected that the love story would end. Sad though. And if fthe writers would like to reunite McDean in case of James Sutton and/or Kieron Richardson who plays Ste decieds to leave the show, I wouldn't be disappointed. Providing that also Stendan would be reunited of course. Beacause I am both a McDean, McHay and a Stendan shipper, and a sunset ending with any of the couples would make me satisfied. Or all of them, in some kind of poly relationship would do as well.

Two happy birthdays and one congratulation!

James Sutton and Emmett J. Scanlan.

Well what a day! It is not special because it's my fiancé's ex girlfriend's birthday. No, it is both Emmett J. Scanlan's and James Sutton's birthdays today. Happy happy birthday to you both! They are both two of my favourite actors and they also play two of y favourite gay characters ever! That is John Paul McQueen and Brendan Brady. Love them both. And Emmett is not the only one who is getting married!

Kit Williams and James Sutton.

Yesterday also James Sutton asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said yes! It is a trend among the Hollyoaks gays to get married. This spring Kieron Richardson (Ste Hay)  is getting married and Emmett asked Claire to marry him and also she said yes! Happy days! And if you know your Hollyoaks, you will think this is funny!
