  • Episode of Emerdale. Many thanks :-)

  • First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for keeping up informed about Aaron storyline ,however I would be even more grateful if you could upload the WHOLE epesode

  • I love Craig's voice. I love listening to him talk. I love it. I love it. I love iiittt!!!!

  • I love how when they both confessed, They were both crying. Thats love, emotion, alot of it. I enjoy how he goes closer to John Paul as he answers his questions. I love when he says "i can`t stop thinking about you" Of you couldn`t, he even put his future on ice when he stormed out of exams to tell John Paul... this is soo amazing.

  • I just love love love that hes all tearing up, thats emotion... alot of it. I enjoy when he goes closer and close to John paul as he answers his questions and finally admits "I can`t stop thinking about you" This is soo amazing

  • I love the "Wha?!?" around 1:50 x'D

  • Miss this Hollyoaks cast so much!

  • Why are there more girl cows than boy cows?

  • oh dear, aren't we upset?

  • Craig would have done well in silent pictures because he uses expressions and body movement (in excess) to express himself. I think now, this way of acting is less effective.

  • @hpribot I prefer his acting when he comes back a year later. It's way more subtle and you can see how much he's hurting cos he lost JP.

  • I think I've watched this a little too much when I can start reciting the lines as they say them. I love you JP and Craig!

  • why was Craig crying?

  • this is without a doubt the single most romantic scene I've ever watched in any tv show or movie....hasn't every gay person fallen for a straight friend ? and wouldn't it be a fantasy come true to have them speak those words to you ?...thanks so much for posting....love love love it

  • A bit late to the party but such good memories :-)

    Happy belated 'McDean Day' to all my fellow mcdeaners (old and new).

  • Happy Mcdean Day! :)

  • @VariahR You beat me to it, was planning on being first one to say that :P Happy McDean day~

  • Craig is the classic case of someone denying himself of his true nature til much later in life. There are guys in their 40`s finally who has had enough and come out of the closet. I went through what Craig went through and decided to come out of the closet at 27.

    Been there done dat.

  • @SouNam66 Hmm, I honestly don't think Craig's been denying himself of his "true nature" (whatever that means). He's always liked girls--still does. But he loves John Paul. Craig tried to explained this numerous times after he and JP were openly together. You may have always known that you were gay (or bi) years before you came out like John Paul, but until recently, Craig never thought he could fall in love with another guy--never had a reason to. So I wouldn't exactly call him "closeted".

  • I've not watched this at all but this episode struck me as overwrought and over-acted, to be honest, not so much James S but the other actor.

  • @patroclus33 if you watch the story line from the beginning Craig's near-hysteria makes more sense. He's a moody character, almost manic-depressive, raised in a homophobic family. (I do believe that James is the better actor.)

  • @patroclus33

    Can't say I agree with your comment at all but you are entitled to your opinion.

    For me, this is the scene that set the stage for the beginning of their love story.

  • what a perfect song for this scene...

  • @krazigurB14 i agree this scene was breath-taking.

  • Man I miss James as John Paul...he was BRILLIANT in that role..I never got a feel for him on ED. ED truly did not utilize his acting abilities like they could have..hopefully when James leaves ED he and Guy will make a special appearance on Hollyoaks!!!!!!!

  • @marcojacksonlvr I miss him too. But I think he's an equally brilliant actor in ED and in every part he plays. (Have you seen him as that over-testosteroned football player?) It's just that John Paul is such a more interesting, lovable, multi-layered character.

    I want to see James in Shakespeare--in Midsummer Night's Dream as one of the lovers, as Hotspur and then Hal in Henry IV, and especially as Hamlet. Am I crazy?

  • I need help - Does any one know in which clip Craig tells John Paul something like "we both know you'll always be there when I come knocking", meaning he thinks JP will never be able to say no to him even when he should? Not litterary that but something like it. Please!

  • @partymailing That would be the 8th June 2007 (episode 99 in the 2007 playlist on my channel). x

  • @MadeCCSFan agree on all of the above

  • @kimbaforeva I know i miss them 2!!

  • Man what they are so cute together.  Love John Paul and Craig :)

  • oh no... after like the 5000th time I've watched this I just realised Craig's got a snotty nose when he's kissing JP (cos of the crying obv). Poor James! :S

  • Is it me or has hollyoaks gotten way less angsty and juicy and more...stupid recently?

  • @breathlessloveless No, it's not just you. :)

  • I am bisexual and I have more feeling for males as I am male, but I still think it is kind of hard for a heterosexual male to take a decision, they are just straight and it is really painful for them. If the situation was with me, that I like my straight friend then I would have strived to keep it off, because it is just painful for that person to know.

  • When John Paul goes "Tell me you're not."

    it's just .... wow, amazing.

  • OMG I so totally miss the days of John Paul and Craig. Hollyoaks has never been the same without them.The McDean Day Episode is like the best Hollyoaks episode ever. I Miss them two so much!!! They were both amazing characters and actors!!!

  • @kimbaforeva I know! Three years isn't a huge amount of time, especially as it goes so quickly, but it feels like a lifetime ago to me because of how much the show's declined since they both left. Huh... in any case, thankyou for keeping the dream alive!

  • I love this chapter... 

  • i remember this scene so vividly....filled with such pent up frustrations and desire. still makes me go funny.

  • i know right 3 years ago!!

  • LoL @ Men are like taxi cabs.

  • Happy (late) Mcdean Day!!

    *sighs with Jon* :P

  • Happy McDead Day! :D:D:D

  • Happy McDead Day! :D:D:D

  • I can´t believe it either!! That magical spring-summer of 2007....

  • I breaks my heart everytime Craig burst out "faggot" at Jp :'(

    LOVE the parts before it though....

  • @Jordgubbsmix I always just pause it and pretend they got their happy ending. Also works for Romeo and Juliet, Brokeback Mountain, Wuthering Heights and Titanic - just complete and utter denial :)

  • @woooowoooooo Thanks for the tip :D I'll do that! On all of those.

  • @TeaCub Craig would have had to keep his boxers on, I dont think Guy getting out of bed naked would have gone down well on a 6:30pm show (although i'm sure it would have gone down VERY well with most McDeaners, haha). They definately must have had sex though. Plus, during the episode where they slept together for the 2nd time, where JP ditched Spike to see Craig, one of his lines during that scene was '...and if you wanna go on pretending we never had sex then fine'. Thats what I think anyway :)

  • Yeah, that is a good point. It's just I read somewhere that the whole thing takes a lot of patience. Then again, maybe I'm just being silly and over-analytical. Just something that occured to me. :)

  • @kimbaforeva I thought it was funny that they have these intense love scene, but in every one someone still has t-shirt or boxers on! Imagine how great it would have been if this show was on later in the evening?!?

  • wot is the razorlight song in the background anyone??

  • I Cant Stop This Feeling I've Got

  • About what?

  • LOL, thats the name of the song that @mrskrisboyd asked about. I wasn't talking about me, haha. x

  • oh my bad hehe

  • This episode is so fantastic, Guy's acting in particular. One of my (many) favorite parts has to be just before their kiss, how Craig inches his way toward John Paul,very slow and cautious but determined all the same

  • I love Craig!! (sorry...just had to say it) :P

  • Well I really LOVE Craig ;-0

  • @shynarcissist So amazing! The tension build up is gut clenching, isn't it?!

  • So whos the top and whos the bottom?

  • SailorSaturn143

    Well from what I heard/read it would seem that John Paul is top and Craig is bottom. If you had seen the next episode from this one when Craig went to school to do an exam you would notice that Craig is walking kind of stiffly when he is at his locker!!

  • This is amazing. The acting was so good and.. oh my I don't even find words to express what I felt when they kissed!

  • This is probably the best scene in television history!!! When I first saw this scene on tv 2 years ago i swear i just couldn't look when craig kisses john paul, it was a total surprise to me! EXTREMELY exciting to watch for the first time!

  • I find it hilarious that one of the related videos is Cheryl Coles debut single.

    LOL

  • I wonder why that is? I wonder if we're being "Cole-Rolled." :D

  • :P Craig is so JP-Sexual. :P

  • okay s here it goes. I know that this is unpopular but i feel as though Craig is defiantly at lest bisexual if not gay. i have heard people say that he is just John Paul sexual but i think the fact that he find JP(who is a male) sexually attractive then makes him at least Bi. I then make the argument that he's gay because he doesn't seem to be able to have a meaningful connection with a girl. Not saying he didn't know how but he couldn't have the deep feelings he had for JP of girls.

    Wow long.

  • i wish hollyoaks was on netflix...i've watched all of it here but still....

  • I love watching this. I love how each answer brings Craig one step closer to John Paul. A different answer to any of those questions could have made everything different.

  • OMG I LOVE THIS !!!

  • craig is georgous o.o

  • I don't think he's gay either, or that he went there expecting anything to happen, and I agree that if JP hadn't come out (at least to Craig) then nothing (probably) would have happened.

    But forcing himself to kiss him to get their closeness back - no.

    1) The writers/producers/etc. of HO have stated that Craig is sexually attracted to JP. Big clue. ;)

    2) Given Craig's upbringing and attitude toward gays, there's no way he would have done something like that unless incredibly tempted.

    (tbc)

  • 3) A lot of people have suggested that Craigs actions here or there are calculated ploys, but the truth is they dont really understand the character. Most of the time, hes nowhere near that rational; indeed, his biggest problem throughout much of this storyline is that hes rash and impulsive and jumpy and DOESNT think things through before he acts.

    (feel like I'm writing a freaking essay here lol.)

  • I Dont Know Why Craig Didnt Finish With Sarah From The Start If Craig FEels That Way About John Paul . Because Sarah Shouldnt Of Fould Out The Way She Did She Loved HIm Tooo

  • There is a poster of Brokeback Mountain inside the JP's room. :)

  • I know this is pretty unrelated because this whole this is McDean centered and whatnot...

    but OMG 4:21 - cutest. baby. ever.

  • haha , i was thinking the same way !!

    it's a very cute baby and he's so quiet

  • Craig's acting gave me goosebumps in this. When JohnPaul accuses Craig of jealousy, the look on his face...Oh! DAMN. BUSTED.

    You used to fancy me. When'd you stop? HOW...FRIKKIN...PRECIOUS!!!!!

    AMAZING EPISODE.

  • @nigotu This is one of the most intense, best written, acted & directed scenes I've seen on TV - can't believe they didn't win an award......

  • @mandrsol This is permanently in my favorites list. It really was one of the best sequences of acting I've ever seen. I thought John Paul's coming out to Craig was the best thing since Godiva White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream....but somehow...SOMEHOW!...Craig managed to top him. ^_^

  • @nigotu Pun intended? Of course! Ha, ha.... so you think that's how it went, huh?

    So, the next most intent was obviously The Reveal - yes? But my fav clip is The Shootout! You?

  • @mandrsol Pun? What pun? *?* Teehee.

    To be clear: All I meant to say is that JP's reveal was an awesome piece of acting. But Guy really tore him to pieces. >> He cut James Sutton a new hole. >> That was a dominating performance. >> You could say JP submitted to Craig's power. >> Guy really penetrated that scene brilliantly. >> Craig banged his way into Hollyoaks legend. >> As for Craig's love, JP ultimately got it in the end.

    Just sayin. No puns intended.

  • @nigotu You totally cracked me up - hard to explain to my family what the heck I'm sitting here laughing my head off over ;-) I'll be grinning for hours....thanks, I needed that!

  • @nigotu best comment ever! Made me laugh so much! lol

  • @nigotu That's because Craig is the top. As qouted by John Paul "You can't keep treating me like a blow up doll" lol

  • @Ad80q I never considered that! Even then, it is still a *wee* bit open to interpretation...but I certainly do get your angle.

    Oh, puns....

    ^_^

  • @Ad80q Oh...that's interesting :P I still think at some point of their affair Craig gave in and...ya know...took it. Didn't Guy use the expression "agressive bottom" to joke about Craig's preferences once?

  • @VariahR Actually - since we've started down this road - JP is the one that is much more aggressive - if you go back to the beginning - which I have now done (watched the WHOLE thing through again) - he's the one who stands up to the bullies, defends Craig multiple times, and fights back, even against Craig. Remember when Craig says "you're my hero" to JP? Loved that, BTW!

  • @mandrsol Most of the fans agree that JP likes to assume the protective role, hence why he saved Craig so many times :P James said in a gay magazine once that in his opinion JP would be the one doing all the pounding...haha. I think they switched roles though :P

  • @VariahR Well, what would be the fun of always doing it the same? Variety is the spice of life and all that....... LOL

  • @VariahR Can you blame him I'd give in to JP as well.

  • I love the way that the dramas of the two Dean boys intertwine with the same song; very dramatic. :)

  • Okay, I feel like bringing something up here.

    I've seen the McDean storyline so many times I've lost count (lol) but this line always sticks with me when I watch this part:

    Around 3:26 when Craig asks "Didn't it feel wrong?" (About John Paul and Spike having sex).

    I always wonder, does he mean (and I think both are possible) Didn't it feel wrong that Spike is a guy, or Didn't it feel wrong that it was Spike and not himself (Craig)?

    Anyway, let me know your thoughts on this:)

  • I´m pretty sure he meant didn´t feel wrong that Spike was a guy. He wanted to know JP´s view on gay sex, cos he himself wanted to know. I think Craig was thinking of shagging JP a lot those days.

  • Lol.. that's true. Anyway, idk, it sticks with me everytime I watch it *shrugs* Thanks for the input:D

  • Hmmmm, I thought about this one a lot after you posted. I think he probably asked the question, "Didn't it feel wrong?" from the point of view of "Didn't it feel wrong that it wasn't with me." If it wasn't such an emotional moment and Craig wasn't pouring out his feelings, it would probably have been related to the same sex nature or the sex.

  • I think the beauty of the scene is that I'm not entirely sure of either. But, yeah I lean more towards the "because it wasn't with me" explanation. Like I said though, it seems like both answers are possible, in their own ways. I love that people are actually replying.. I was really curious as to what others thought hehe.

  • -"Do you love him?

    -Not has much I love u"..

    ohoh JP you are soooo cute..

  • poor Craig and poor JP it's so messed up ..

  • When he looks at the floor and says, "I haven't been off with you." So cute.

  • Yeah, he looked so pained trying to explain himself.

  • "When did you get over me?"

    It sounds so heart breaking when he says that. poor Craig :,(

  • I almost wanted to cry FOR him when he asked that.

  • God, I hate that I don't get Hollyoakes!

  • I dont know if you guys agree but i always think when JP and craig kiss it looks more really and relaxed compared to when JP and spike kiss

  • I quite like JP and Spike kisses, they are far less weird to watch than a JPK kiss *shrugs* But the BEST ones are shared between JP and Craig of course!! They can be tender and also passionate.

  • how can you think it looks relaxed? Craig's body language shows much tension and JP is obviously kind of giving into the kiss even though he thinks it will end bad.

  • There might be tension...but it's not forced or unnatural tension. It's more like "I want you so bad I can hardly breathe" tension. It has more true emotion in it than Spike's kisses.

  • Happy (belated) McDean day peeps! lol ok so im sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly drunk hahaha

    anyway 2wo yeaurs WOW! Time flys, lol,,.

  • Happy McDean Day!

  • whats with the brokeback mountain poster in the background..like we already know he's gay ..we get it..anyways craigs a bitch ..how does jp put up with him..theyre still cute tho :)

  • It's sad that their first time together had to end so terribly. Those initial memories are hard to be rid of. I don't reckon that Craig was better than Spike in bed. But...it usually doesn't matter when you're in love. And JP is def in love with Craig.

  • "you know "and with the eyebrowns i love it

  • That's the cutest and the most well behaved baby ever...lying there with his arms folded looking so peaceful...

  • what craig is saying at 2:23 ?

    "when did you stop? ...." i love this scene!

  • so painful to watch :(

  • I love JP's incredulous "What?"

  • omg

    craigs acting in this scene is too epic for words

    its like a drug...

    ^-^

  • whats wrong with craig..what he said at the end was just wrong...

  • Who's on top? XD

  • Oh the big question! I'd go for John Paul.

  • I'm not sure... >_> JP pretty much bots in every relationship he has. But Craig is waay too sissy to top.

  • Every little conversation they have tells me that John Paul in the topper....i would bet my my McDean filled heart on it!

  • Hmmm probably with Craig... Its a bit weird though cause when Craig comes back, he's oh so top-ish with those stubble

  • Just look at when they lie in bed together - who lies on who's chest? I rest my case!

    P.S. This is fun :)

  • JP lies on Craig's sometimes....

  • Hmmm...I see your point, but I'm firmly resolved on the fact that JP is the toppo and Craig the toppee.....this conversation was amazing!

  • And remember JP leaned on Craig's shoulder at the very end of SE

  • Hmmm.... the signifance......It's so confusing!

  • But yeah, JP would bottom for other people, but he tops Craig for sure XD

  • Got to agree! Love it

  • Like I said before, Craig's too sissy to top. In a good way!

  • At the very end of what?

  • SE = Sunset Ending. Their final episode, where we can see they´ll start a new life in Dublin...together.

  • Sunset ending

  • whats the song when they kiss. i must know!

  • Razorlight - I Cant Stop This Feeling I've Got

  • thanks soo much :) lifesaverr

    x

  • About 2:06, Craig's face is amazing after John Paul says, "Craig, mates don't get jealous of boyfriends," and Craig does this thing with his eyebrows that is just too adorable for words.

    It's as if his face is saying, Me, jealous? Guy is just so good at making facial expressions become words and emotions.

  • Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

    It's well lush.

    :D

  • I will forever connect that song with JP and Craig when they kissed! Perfect song for them!

  • he he.

    I always love it when John Paul says "What!". He does it quite a few times, and each one, he says it differently.

    I think it's sooo cute!

  • Luv JP/Craig blah, blah, blah. But who's that blonde chick and what exactly is she up to? Blackmail, blurting out the pregancy!?

  • oh my god.

    This is the episode where I totally fell in love with that song by Razorlight. And that scene with Craig and John Paul...

    I just love it...

  • I agree ... I fell in love with that song to while watching Craig and John Paul.. Thank you Kimba! and I thought Calvin was married to a MC QUEEN

  • He is now, he's married to Carmel. But back then he was dating Louise.

  • haha nd carmels seeing gods face in potatoes not to forget xD

  • aaww, CRaigs pain when he wa ssayinh how he felt was so moving. It was so sweet to see the begining of Mcdean all over again. However Craig freaking out was heartbreaking but oh so CD

  • Will there be a high quality version of this part? Thanks for posting the entire episode

  • If you type &fmt=18 at the end of the web address the video will appear in a higher quality. I dont know why this part hasnt come up in HQ to be honest. But anywyay, if you add that code at the end of the link then it'll work...

  • Thanks so much for that. I will give it a go. Can't wait!!!

  • Well, that was completely worth it. Seeing all of Craig's and JP's tears in HQ broke my heart all over again. Thank you once again :)

  • lol @ the men are like cupcakes calendar :D

  • i know right

  • McDean Day

  • Hooray!!!
