Ooo. Carter and John Paul. I like this! Coming out as gay can be insanely tough. I have been in Carter’s position. Hopefully everything will work out for these two ❤️
Texting JP from Maxine's phone and saying 'you've caught us" is the most transparent move I've ever seen 😂 If that was me, I would have shown Maxine the text and said "you didn't send this then?" and when she says no, I'd look Carter dead in the eyes and say "Well somebody must be CONFUSED" 😂😂
Seriously, how many more times are we gonna have gay characters in this show who try to deny they're gay? And they keep hooking John Paul up with bad people. Do something new writers. 🙄
It's a way of suggesting that gay men lead shadowy, dishonest lives - not even true to themselves - under a thin pretence of being 'sympathetic to our 'plight'.
I know. Why do gay people even feel they need to hide? These days if anyone at work gives you a hard time there’s a criminal record for the hate speaker, a civil trial for the employer and a massive new bank accout with early retirement for you. Thankfully we are are far beyond taking crap from ignorant people.
The script is just fine as it is, just recycle it into another show whose characters are located in south Texas, a place where closet space is at a premium.
Maxine gets used yet again and now it's just tragic with carter. Love the hypocrisy of him being all Christian grooming and having premarital sex with JP and now Maxine. Wish they would drop this creepy storyline with carter. Can they please give jp a decent love interest because we already have him out a preacher years ago.
I've been watching some of the older storylines - County Lines for example and the writing of Hollyoaks back then was so good and still brings a tear to my eye, I've realised lately that half of the cast I don't care about since Sid and Juliet have gone. They were the best characters and watching Romeo and Peri together after Juliet's death is just so wrong and I hope it's one of the storylines that are being re-written.
ChrisRedfield87 Sometimes I wish they’d bring back Harley and put her back together with Peri and JUST Peri only considering Tom’s married to Yasmine. Still your comment is so right.
You are right. I got hooked on Hollyoaks during the Breeda serial killing storyline. The show's gone down the pan since then. It's just a bunch of half-baked teen angst, with the "adults" reduced to juvenile bedhopping.
Hollyoaks kind been awful for a while, minus have few good sl's sometimes, they throw any random people together, Peri and Romeo is joke and disrespectful to Juliet so soon after her death.
This is giving me John Paul x Craig x Sarah vibes all over again. Woaaaah.......let's see how this pan out. Hopefully, John Paul just removes himself from the equation completely. We will see.
Victor_Dakota OA I still feel like that this conversion therapy storyline isn’t over since Lucas and Ste will be included in it and hopefully James and John Paul will work together to get them both out of that and have Carter become Gay again. What do you think????? 🤔

Hollyoaks is so pathetic and unrealistic. What happened to Maxine’s permanent scar? It’s gone just like that all of a sudden. Storyline after storyline for her.

Why do they always do to much✋🏻🤣. I get they don’t want to be thought of as gay but like do they not realise how extremely gay they make themselves appear when there so desperate to prove there not.
Carter is such a good actor, he gives off gay vibes. When his ears perks up as John Paul is on the phone and his gay-but-straight mannerisms and superior complex... not saying that they make a person gay but the level of detail is impeccable. Ste is so sweet and supportive and John Paul is into people in the closet... >.
@@cumbinow4fun Craig, well he was young and first love kind of thing, but always would run back to him it seems until Craig lets him down again. The worst has got to be George.
Why hasn't he progressed since coming to terms with his sexuality at 17/18? I wish he and Carter hadn't already "done it." Having Carter wanting more than just a kiss could lead to some legitimate frustration. Now, he's a hypocrite...
It's really so odd that Craig is never alluded to nor brought up, not even by his family like Darren. If the show was going to obscure his existence, they may as well have killed him off, because at least then no-one ever mentioning him (especially around JP) would make a bit of sense.
I’m a gay man , I would not have known him to be a gay person , but a cheap bad suit, and a very poor eye brow pluck, so tacky don’t sleep with him, remember that right hand or the left is still your friend!
I remember Brendan's dad Seamus kept calling him Brenda.He was horrible to him tho he probably would've come out if he didn't take the blame for Cheryl and ended locked up.

Oh for OA’s sake Carter you slept with John Paul and you even said that you don’t feel ashamed about what happened with him last night! When is Carter gonna get it through his thick skull that he’s Gay and he truly has feelings for John Paul this is SO ridiculous I’m telling ya he can’t stay hidden in his closet forever! I know, I know most of you are getting Craig Dean vibes from Carter but I’m getting Ryan Knight vibes and I know that most of you are wanting that drug dealing, physical abusive, sociopathic serial killer BB back in the village and you’re all glad that he was mentioned but I say that Ste should’ve also mentioned Doug and Harry and even John Paul should’ve mentioned Kieron (not the actor) but still you all should face facts that the character is never coming back to the show and the same with Craig I really ship Carter with John Paul and I am hoping he won’t give up on trying to turn things around with Carter being Gay. Also I’m confused I thought Maxine was interested in Beau “Brady 😂” but now she’s interested in Carter? When these two sleep together again I bet he’s gonna use Carter’s phone to text Maxine and tell her to come and she’ll catch them both kissing each other just like he did with Hannah when he was doing the same thing with Craig when they were Teenagers. I really feel sorry for both of them Carter’s still hiding away in his closet and John Paul having to go through the same thing he went through with Craig again I do hope these two will end up together in a good relationship for once. 😔
It's funny to see such a big guy get pushed around (recently, Carter pushing John Paul against the wall). I think it emphasizes his vulnerability and low self-esteem.
It's completely ridiculous that by this point in JP's life and maturity (and yes, at his big age/size) he'd be taking abuse from pipsqueak closet cases. Most out gay men learn by their 30s & 40s to toughen up and avoid creeps.
@@pendafen7405 The first time Carter kissed John Paul and pulled away, John Paul should not have reciprocated. He should have left it where Carter was wanting more. The writers have John Paul way too willing to accommodate which eliminates a natural buildup.
I don’t watch the show. But, from a person-centred counsellor’s viewpoint - the chap in the T is REALLY needy towards the Suit. We’re unique; we think AND therefore feel differently; uniquely.
Ok, can we get a fresh story? JP deserves better. I know it’s been awhile for him but damn, does he have to cling on to a DL man who wants to forget the whole thing? It’s 2023, don’t hold onto people who you can’t be with in public
I like Ste these days, and it was sweet of him to give his old friend & ex support, but he has got a bit of a nerve saying this. He messed Amy around for years and broke her heart as well as her family because he wasn't honest with her (about his sexuality among several other things). Also, he's technically a bisexual man, so he can't really speak exactly to JP's experiences as a 100% gay man--and perhaps it's a similar situation with Carter (he may be closeted self-loathing bi, or heteroromantic homosexual). Doesn't excuse Carter's behaviour and brainwashing, though, nor Brendan's. And actually, it's quite sad that after all this time Ste still doesn't see Brendan as the cruel, abusive, using person he was.
Yes in real-life he is 40 and actually older than Jennifer who plays Mercedes in the show he is only 34 and desperate to find true love he found it with Craig but then James his actor returned
@@loobyh6274 He looks very good for 40. I can never work out if the actor is gay but denies it. It reminds me of Scott Neal years ago in The Bill, with his pretend girlfriend, forever denying he was gay IRL but now married to a male TV executive. Both James and Scott always play gay roles.
@@alangiles4616 He is straight years ago he even dated Jessica Fox who plays Nancy and Sammy Winward who played Katie when he was in Emmerdale he is getting divorce from his wife
What is it about the script writers with them getting JP to fall the closet gays . This was the same story line years back when JP was falling for another boy who wasn't out. I'm going way back but I'm sure i cant be the only one who can remember. Script writers or losing ideas what to wright about.
I wonder if James Sutton thought after his amazing one off love story with Craig back in 2007 he would be back recycling the same storyline about closet cases in 2023. 🤔😞
It really is just the same scenario, only it has a lot less impact when it's grown men in the 2020s. JP & Craig's story was so moving and powerful because for the time it was new and audacious on British telly, and because as young characters they had less control over their lives and feelings so the drama was more authentic.
Many men try to hide behind a "beard", marrying to appear "normal", Rock Hudson, Michael Barrymore, even Elton John. Others hide behind religion, becoming hyper homophobic.....some do both.....*looks away shamefully* Though I didn't actually marry, I considered it, and my "born again" phase is a part of my life I look back on with shame. I didn't attack gay men, verbally or physically, but I was literally homophobic, afraid of those who were open and honest 😔 I tried to believe they were "sinners". Until I was 12, it was still a crime to be gay and the change was far from smooth for most people
This storyline was so unfair to John Paul. At first I hoped that Carter would end up accepting himself and he and John Paul could have a proper relationship at least for a while (I like the dynamic of the actors on screen ). Too bad the plot took a different direction at the end, but perhaps there is a chance that Carter may return in the future. On the other hand, I miss those interactions between John Paul and Ste, I've always said they work very well as friends and it would be nice to see them together more often, after all they know each other almost forever.
I used to be a fan of Hollyoaks but haven't seen it for two years until now... the actors mumble and communicate in grunts and poor diction. How about slowing down their chit chat and speak more clearly ??? A lot of their conversation comes across as mush. Some of these people have been there so long that they seem to consider it just a job that they want to get over with.. their acting is fake and uncomfortable.
@@mu_yiwaa heya, it is Hollyoaks 🤗 It has been running for a very long time and produce lots of 'alumni'. Just like Neighbors in Australia. Have a good weekend
I AM A GAY MAN AND I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH. YOU CAN HIDE BEING GAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WANT LOVE AND OTHER GAY GUYS ONLY AND ALWAYS TRY TO USE YOU FOR A ONE NIGHT STAND. IF YOU'RE A GAY GUY AND SAY IT'S NOT TRUE. YES, IT IS TRUE AND I DON'T NEED TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. I ONLY HAVE TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR MYSELF ! 😐
He is so annoying. Just because someone sleeps with you, doesn't mean you have the right to control their life. He refuses to admit he is gay, that is HIS RIGHT. Why are you so pushy?
Oh I didn’t know it is a television program , No wonder all the people are so badly dressed, that’s because they are looking like most people in the UK ,
Wtf He was in the middle of a metting and the other dude cames, interupst the metting, is rude and doesn't give him other option than thanking rigth at the moment just to try to force him out of the closet. Even if the dude has good intentions he is being so rude
So Carter is bisexual, then. So is Ste. So are a few other Hollyoaks characters. It's not uncommon nor taboo nowadays, why is it being treated as a big scandal and drama here?
@@neilgodwin6531 actually no, grew up on farm in the rural West Midlands, then moved to rural Wales where I'm still based to this day. Try again, butty.
It as common or uncommon as it always was -the number of lgbt people hasn't increased -the no of out lgbt people and representation has increased It is still a massive deal in the Evangelical church which Carter is a part of My sibling experienced a hate crime as a teenager in rural Wales after being outed at school. The family home was gaffittied with verbal abuse. Also they protested at school for their friend to be allowed to wear the school uniform of her gender identity and they formed the first lgbt club the school had ever had and experienced a lot of homophobic bullying. It is still a big deal in much of the world

On the other hand, I miss those interactions between John Paul and Ste, I've always said they work very well as friends and it would be nice to see them together more often, after all they know each other almost forever.
I love Steve
He said can I have a word so he was asking
I used to be a fan of Hollyoaks but haven't seen it for two years until now... the actors mumble and communicate in grunts and poor diction. How about slowing down their chit chat and speak more clearly ??? A lot of their conversation comes across as mush. Some of these people have been there so long that they seem to consider it just a job that they want to get over with.. their acting is fake and uncomfortable.
John Paul deserves better.
Ste is my favorite
2:36 Come to me, John Paul. You don’t make me sick. 😍😜
Why John Paul always like to go after crazy people?
Predicted it all lol . Wow . Poor jon paul
What is the name of the movie
I love this show. It's gravitating

@@mu_yiwaa heya, it is Hollyoaks 🤗 It has been running for a very long time and produce lots of 'alumni'. Just like Neighbors in Australia. Have a good weekend
John Paul screwed up when he left the priest years ago.
Kieran was m urdered suddenly, JP didn't get a chance to leave him and break up properly.

Wow John Paul beef up!

I AM A GAY MAN AND I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
YOU CAN HIDE BEING GAY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WANT LOVE AND OTHER GAY GUYS ONLY AND
ALWAYS TRY TO USE YOU FOR A ONE NIGHT STAND.
IF YOU'RE A GAY GUY AND SAY IT'S NOT TRUE.
YES, IT IS TRUE
AND I DON'T NEED TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.
I ONLY HAVE TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR MYSELF !
😐
ugh i miss the old john paul and craig days wonder how craig is doing now
He is so annoying.
Just because someone sleeps with you, doesn't mean you have the right to control their life.
He refuses to admit he is gay, that is HIS RIGHT.
Why are you so pushy?
John Paul is going after the hypocrisy (Carter conducting counseling group and then violating one of its tenets).
I am dating one of the cast members hehehe
Who
The Barmaid?
I need advise guys please
Oh I didn’t know it is a television program , No wonder all the people are so badly dressed, that’s because they are looking like most people in the UK ,
Wtf He was in the middle of a metting and the other dude cames, interupst the metting, is rude and doesn't give him other option than thanking rigth at the moment just to try to force him out of the closet. Even if the dude has good intentions he is being so rude
So Carter is bisexual, then. So is Ste. So are a few other Hollyoaks characters. It's not uncommon nor taboo nowadays, why is it being treated as a big scandal and drama here?
Clearly you live in London or a big city. It's still a big deal in the sticks, and a scandal in a small town or village
@@neilgodwin6531 actually no, grew up on farm in the rural West Midlands, then moved to rural Wales where I'm still based to this day. Try again, butty.
It as common or uncommon as it always was -the number of lgbt people hasn't increased -the no of out lgbt people and representation has increased
It is still a massive deal in the Evangelical church which Carter is a part of
My sibling experienced a hate crime as a teenager in rural Wales after being outed at school. The family home was gaffittied with verbal abuse. Also they protested at school for their friend to be allowed to wear the school uniform of her gender identity and they formed the first lgbt club the school had ever had and experienced a lot of homophobic bullying. It is still a big deal in much of the world
He is gay not bisexual
That was soooo cheap and cruel of carter..
Roxana Ferdinand OA exactly!!!!!
