John Paul & Craig // Love and Loss

***Warning: This video can be graphic at times (nothing you haven't seen if you've watched Craig's Late Night Hollyoaks episodes)

I have never been this nervous about uploading a video. Please don't hate me for making this. I have complete love for this couple and am so happy that this was not actually part of their storyline. I just wanted to try something different from my usual vids, and seeing as Jon (kimbaforevaryanlamb) has graciously provided us youtubers with lovely clips of James on Emmerdale, I figured I should try to incorporate them into a McDean vid. This is by no means meant as an insult to James' acting ability on Emmerdale, as he was wonderful and very different from" John Paul". But alas, I just couldn't help but use these clips.

I've also always wondered what John Paul's reaction would be to Craig being tortured (or in this case killed). We never really got to see John Paul's reaction, so I guess this was an attempt at visualizing that.

Dedication:

This one's for you Ana (anaapenas)! :) I feel awful for dedicating such a sad video to you :S You did say that you liked sad vids, I just hope this one isn't too sad. Thank you so much for the Asche & Spencer song, and for inspiring me with your amazing videos. You are the queen of epic AU videos, and epic song choices. It's been lovely chatting back and forth with you these past few days. Thank you for all of your kindness and encouragement. Hope you like the vid :)

Music info:
Song #1: "Leon Sees" by Asche & Spencer
Song #2: "Stokkseyri" by Jonsi & Alex

As always, thank you for watching. Comments are welcome and most appreciated :)

PS: My next video will be happy, I promise.

Is it possible to love and hate a video at the same time? Obviously not hating you for making this, just, sort of complimenting you really! It just got to me, it was so realistic. I got really emotional watching this, brilliantly done. But I'm EXTREMELY glad they didn't kill our Craigy of XD.

@MapleAndAnimeCrazy Eeek, sorry this reply is so incredibly late. I've been swamped with university exams. Thanks so much for commenting, yet again :D I love reading your comments :P And no worries, it's perfectly possible to love and hate a video at the same time. I knew this vid would likely ruffle a few feathers. And I totally agree...so glad Craig is still very much alive :)

oh my god am so glad that isnt real but wot a vid how come you always m ake me cry, you are truly gifted excellent job

[MeskySsss]

@21crunchie *smiles* Thank you so much! Eeek, I really need to stop making you cry :P And I totally agree, I'm so happy this never actually happened...phew! :)

This was heartbreakingly beautiful. I feel such a connection with your vids. They always seem to leave me emotional. If I could turn my hands to making vids they would have to be just like yours because it like you can get into my mind and heart how I feel about Craig and John Paul. I love what you are trying to say about this amazing (fictional) couple. Your vids just seem to flow together endlessly. This would be my worse nightmare for Craig but cos it yours I am compel to watch.

Brilliant.

@CJPDeQueen Guh, your comments always bring me close to tears. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt comment. Truthfully, I just try to convey how much I love JP/C, and then I cross my fingers and hope that someone out there in youtube land feels the same way. So, it’s amazing to hear that you feel a connection to my vids :) Thank you thank you thank you for your comment! If you ever do decide to make a JP/C vid, I will certainly be the first in line to watch it :)

This vid has got to be some real BS. Craig con't die, OK, good, it was BS. This vid DID make me cry. I voted that I disliked ( HATED, to be more truthful ) this vid, well I do. And won't vote I like this. I am too much of a fan of Craig Dean to say otherwise. Any-one else the vid would have been great. But that made me cry, that vid was a little too good. If I offended you by this comment I'm sorry, but I guess you'll have to be offended. I love Guy more than words. I've never even meet him.LOVE

OMG!! THIS IS UTTERLY STUNNING!! JESUS... and I'm still totally just in awe that there is a new McDean video and this was just.. *drops jaw*

[cadreychasd]

I WAS FLAMING WITH FULL OF CURIOSITY WHEN I WATCHED THIS ON TUMBLR AND WAS DEEPLY CONFUSED BUT THEN AGAIN, AFTER I READ YOUR DESCRIPTION, IT WENT OFF AND WAS COMPLETELY STUNNED HOW GREAT THE VIDEO WAS. BUT ANYWAY, IM GLAD THAT IT WASN'T THE REAL STORY. YAY :)) I WOULD DIE CRYING IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO CRAIG.
