The more I watch these episodes, the more I realise that Craig wasn't nervous around John Paul because he knew he was gay, but because he was crushing over him all the time!
Rewatching after all these years and it’s interesting to see Craig’s evolution after JP confessed his feelings. It awoken something in him and I liked his journey. Loved these two.
There are three things I really love about the gym-scene: *The albeit sad fact that Craig isn't afraid to speak his mind, what he believes, when it's just the two of them - it sets them up for the rest of the year. *Craig falling backwards and obviously trusting JP to catch him *Craig simply telling JP he's the best mate he's ever had; really says something about how they slot together especially as they had only known each other for five months at this point; they just work.
I don't think i would be able to stop thinking about it either even if i wasn't interested Craig has John-Paul love confession on his mind it's almost as if John-Paul has pulled the wool from Craig eyes Craig is beginning to look at John-Paul in a completely new light Craig is beginning to question his own feelings for John-Paul Craig is the one to initate their first kiss Craig grabs hold of John-Paul by the lapels and says to John-Paul remember this alright i love you i love you John-Paul was giggling Craig said again I love you Craig then leaned in and kissed John-Paul John-Paul obviously responded Craig pulled away when he realised what he had done Hannah John-Paul girlfriend witnessed their kiss and announced it to the whole school John-Paul took all the blame and really thought he was the one at fault John-Paul never said to Craig you were the one to kiss me first although we both wanted it Craig grew increasingly jealous of John-Paul dating Spike Craig worked himself up into a jealous frenzy he couldn't even focus on his exam paper he burst out of his exam and asked John-Paul how can you make yourself stop loving someone you said you loved me John-Paul i did i do Craig do or did John-Paul Aw why are you doing this Criag are you teasing me making fun Criag have you and Spike John-Paul what Craig you know John-Paul yeah Craig did it feel wrong John-Paul no it felt wonderful Craig do you love him John-Paul not as much as I love you Craig then passionately kissed John-Paul and lead him upstairs to sleep together afterwards Craig felt totatlly conflicted about how right it felt Craig eventually choose John-Paul over Sarah and was still hung up on John-Paul a year later Craig finally won his man back for their shot at happiness which they had for while and even got their second shot at happiness
cont...I love that whatever JP tries to say here about himself or his relationship with hannah, there is no doubt in Craig's mind that JP is not being truthful. And Craig's saying he loves JP. In his drunkness he says it with no hesitation because it is from his heart. The kiss happens because in that moment they BOTH wanted it. Craig made the first move but JP knew he wanted it as well. As much as Craig had to have it happen, in a moment the realisation hit him because it was different....
There's a lot I love about the gym thing but one thing that I find ultra adorable is the way Craig stomps and then goes "...to say it!" I dunno, his voice there is just so precious! Preciously drunk XD
Every time I watch this scene @ 06:27 ...When John Paul asks Craig “How’s things going in there?” and Craig responds “Horrible”...Sarah just told him “I love you” for the first time, knowing Craig he should be over the moon happy right now and all he can say is “horrible”...Craig’s got it bad!!
So many things I like about the dance off. Firstly Craig(Guy) and John Paul's(James's) dancing. Lord have mercy. A talent neither has! Then we come to JP letting Craig and sarah be together get to him that he can't stand to be around it but still he is compled to look. Craig with sarah saying ILY to each other for the first time. Should be the moment of Craig's young life at that time but instead his senses pick up that JP is around and watching him. And he know he has to go to him immediately
Wow, Hannah is making a big deal about seeing her boyfriend being kissed by his (DRUNK) best mate... The guys at my college kiss for fun all the time when they're drunk.
Hannah completely overreacted over the kiss. They were both drunk and it wasn't like she walked in on them in bed. She has no idea John Paul is gay at this point, it could've just been a drunken mistake. It happens.
is it me or is craig always the one who's always drunk?? lol sorry this would be my third time or fourth time watching the storyline (it's the summer and i'm bored!). jp's always sober enough to remember stuff and well sane throughout most of the experiences of craig's drunken-ness.
@TeaCub *feels all warm and fuzzy by reading your spot on comment* :) Plus, love the fact Craig's biggest fear is losing JP and then he says I love you, I love YOU (which reads = I love you instead of my hot girlfriend)
i would think that Hannah would be VERY quick to blame Craig and not JP considering when she walked in He was proclaiming his love for JP and pulled him into him by JP's lapels.
cont..not cos it's another boy, just that deep inside it has stirred a feeling that he's never felt before and it has shocked him to his core. Who knows what would have happened if hannah hadn't seen them. Maybe Craig would have dealt with it better, maybe not. As for hannah reaction, completely true and her realisation of what she has been trying to deny in her heart. Not about JP being gay but more about him not really wanting her in that way cos she can now see it in JP's face who he does.
@VariahR I think it just shows who they are; they wrote this story so well. They chose the right character to have a sexual confusion storyline because JP was the best friend and lover Craig ever had; it was just a matter of fact that he happened to be a bloke. :)
OMG you know what would be AWESOME!?! If sarah and hannah totally HOOKED UP!!! Then there wouldnt be any feeling bad about JP or Craig leaving their girlfriends! I should of SOO been the writer for HO!!
cont...JP, angry and frustrated with himself and Craig for how he is feeling. But it's Craig and he does't hold onto that feeling for long cos now Craig is with him and he doesn't seem interested in going back to sarah. Adorkable, very drunk Craig. (I love him so) and slightly drunk John Paul on their own together talking seriously but also having fun. Now JP has confess to Craig there is no doubt in Craig's mind that JP is gay and he doesn''t want be with hannah. But JP is still in denial....
John-Paul first gay kaja 💋was Craig Craig was John-Paul first love 💕Spike and John-Paul slept together on May 9th Craig came knocking may 16th better known as Mcdean day 💕💕
cont...Last part I don't blame hannah for the way she reacted or what she did. She was devastated at what she saw and on some level knew that it wasn't a drunken mistake for John Paul. I really don't know how or why but she felt that JP was more into that kiss than any kisses she shared with him. She now has to face up to what clearly has been staring her in the face all along. Never really guessing for one moment it was Craig but maybe realising that she should have seen that it was Craig.
I have never liked Nancy's sanctimonious whining, but for once I agree with her about the inanity of the concept of a school dance. I don't know how it is now but back in the day Prom was an excuse for the popular kids to show off their trashy clothes and act out messy relationship drama, for which everyone else had to stand around and quietly get drunk on the cheaper booze. As a teen I was an awkward nerdy nonconformist goth who went to my prom (dateless, with classmates) and even years later I wish I had skipped it and gone out to a gig with my real mates that night instead.
Interestingly, I had the same thought as a teen -- though I was an awkward, nerdy, outgoing, nonconformist punk-esque, cheerleader. Instead of going to my prom, I invited my closest friends to go out to this ritz-y hotel in the city where we listened to music and partied all night. Sort of like an after party but sans prom thing. Anyways, we got dressed up, we had fun, we talked and laughed and danced, and there was no drama to be had because we were all just really good friends having a good time.
헐.. 8년만에 다시 보니깐 진짜 크레이기가 존 폴을 처음부터 좋아한 게 맞는구나...존 폴이 사라 좋아한다고 오해할 때부터 맛이 가고 사라에게 화내고 질투하다 다시 존 폴이 한나와 사귀니깐 질투하고 불안해하더니 결국 고백받고 복잡한데 싫지는 않았던 거...그런데 실수였다고 하니깐 엄청 실망, 분노. 지도 지 감정 알아서 자기가 먼저 실토하네. 존 폴에게 오해할 신호를 먼저 준 걸지도 모른다는 게 새삼 다르게 들린다... 헐... 지금 보니깐 취해서 한 저 저 고백도 진심이었구나...헐,, 거의 둘이 동시에 좋아하게 된 거;;;; 이런 바부팅이들....
I really love their dynamic. This storyline was so fucking juicy and the slow build up made it that much more intense. every big reveal was super shocking. just great writing. and this is coming from a mcpriest shipper. I honestly think that dean is straight. completely. Have you ever had a best friend that you couldnt live without? that was jp to craig. to craig, jp is like his heterosexual life partner. however, the fact that jp is gay and is pinning after craig makes craig feel guilty that he cant return those feelings (this is just what i think) so that opens craigs mind up to the possibility of a romantic relationship with jp. he doesnt want jp to leave and hes fairly confident he would do anything to keep jp by his side. He loves jp. but I dont think he was ever inlove with jp, even if he might have said it.
voondebayosh, I agree with so much of what you've said here, and I am also a JP/Kieron shipper. I've never heard them called McPriest though - I love it! I also agree with your comments, ceg2058. Craig was so far on the heterosexual side of the Kinsey scale that he was about to fall off, but he was just that tiniest bit of bi (just enough for one man, JP). He was JPsexual.
wow Hannah was annoying here. i mean i get why she was upset, i would be too, but did she really have to yell like that? That was a little weird........loved the kiss though!!
i think it's cause she's got emotional problems and needs to feel validated through other people. But in all honesty i agree with you, sometimes i wish she would just shut up
@SingleChronology Well Sarah did end up being a lesbian... it so could've worked! And then maybe Sarah wouldn't have been thrown out of a plane by some psycho girlfriend.
The more I watch these episodes, the more I realise that Craig wasn't nervous around John Paul because he knew he was gay, but because he was crushing over him all the time!
Rewatching after all these years and it’s interesting to see Craig’s evolution after JP confessed his feelings. It awoken something in him and I liked his journey. Loved these two.
Drunk Craig was so convincing! What a great actor!
Gosh the stares they give each other are so powerful, its so amazing, especially John Paul.
7:58
"Craig, I'm not gay!"
"Pfft. Whatever."
Funniest moment in the whole scene. :D
There are three things I really love about the gym-scene:
*The albeit sad fact that Craig isn't afraid to speak his mind, what he believes, when it's just the two of them - it sets them up for the rest of the year.
*Craig falling backwards and obviously trusting JP to catch him
*Craig simply telling JP he's the best mate he's ever had; really says something about how they slot together especially as they had only known each other for five months at this point; they just work.
Back after a couple of years, they still are my fav ship!!
He found it so easy to say I love you to JP but hesitated when saying it back to Sarah lol
That "come hither" look John Paul gives Craig before he leaves gets me every time.
when exactly?
max bo 4:23
+MapleAndAnimeCrazy hello. thanks for replying lol
CockroachInYourMouth Hahaha that would have made things a lot different.
It sounds like Craig has been thinking of JP's confession a lot.
I don't think i would be able to stop thinking about it either even if i wasn't interested Craig has John-Paul love confession on his mind it's almost as if John-Paul has pulled the wool from Craig eyes Craig is beginning to look at John-Paul in a completely new light Craig is beginning to question his own feelings for John-Paul Craig is the one to initate their first kiss
Craig grabs hold of John-Paul by the lapels and says to John-Paul remember this alright i love you i love you John-Paul was giggling Craig said again I love you Craig then leaned in and kissed John-Paul John-Paul obviously responded Craig pulled away when he realised what he had done Hannah John-Paul girlfriend witnessed their kiss and announced it to the whole school John-Paul took all the blame and really thought he was the one at fault John-Paul never said to Craig you were the one to kiss me first although we both wanted it
Craig grew increasingly jealous of John-Paul dating Spike Craig worked himself up into a jealous frenzy he couldn't even focus on his exam paper he burst out of his exam and asked John-Paul how can you make yourself stop loving someone you said you loved me John-Paul i did i do Craig do or did John-Paul Aw why are you doing this Criag are you teasing me making fun Criag have you and Spike John-Paul what Craig you know John-Paul yeah Craig did it feel wrong John-Paul no it felt wonderful Craig do you love him John-Paul not as much as I love you Craig then passionately kissed John-Paul and lead him upstairs to sleep together afterwards Craig felt totatlly conflicted about how right it felt Craig eventually choose John-Paul over Sarah and was still hung up on John-Paul a year later Craig finally won his man back for their shot at happiness which they had for while and even got their second shot at happiness
they just don’t make storylines on soaps as good as this these days
cont...I love that whatever JP tries to say here about himself or his relationship with hannah, there is no doubt in Craig's mind that JP is not being truthful.
And Craig's saying he loves JP. In his drunkness he says it with no hesitation because it is from his heart.
The kiss happens because in that moment they BOTH wanted it. Craig made the first move but JP knew he wanted it as well. As much as Craig had to have it happen, in a moment the realisation hit him because it was different....
Im glad that Craig and john-paul ditch their silly girlfriends to have the long awaited kiss they clearly both wanted.😊
Oh boy, here i go again, watching this damn series and crying like a child! JPM & CD 4EVER
There's a lot I love about the gym thing but one thing that I find ultra adorable is the way Craig stomps and then goes "...to say it!" I dunno, his voice there is just so precious! Preciously drunk XD

"It's against all my musical beliefs" Haha sounds like something I would say
So many things I like about the dance off. Firstly Craig(Guy) and John Paul's(James's) dancing. Lord have mercy. A talent neither has!
Then we come to JP letting Craig and sarah be together get to him that he can't stand to be around it but still he is compled to look. Craig with sarah saying ILY to each other for the first time. Should be the moment of Craig's young life at that time but instead his senses pick up that JP is around and watching him. And he know he has to go to him immediately
AND THE FANDOM REJOICED.
7:07 that was cute how he caught him 😂
he says he loves sarah then looks at jp while kissing her...
Oh and John Paul + Suit = win :D
I really wished this was released to DVD for purchase in the USA.
Wow, Hannah is making a big deal about seeing her boyfriend being kissed by his (DRUNK) best mate... The guys at my college kiss for fun all the time when they're drunk.
Hannah completely overreacted over the kiss. They were both drunk and it wasn't like she walked in on them in bed. She has no idea John Paul is gay at this point, it could've just been a drunken mistake. It happens.

Nancy is so much calmer now.
i would think that Hannah would be VERY quick to blame Craig and not JP considering when she walked in He was proclaiming his love for JP and pulled him into him by JP's lapels.

i've been waiting for this.
I think one of the best things of this entire episode is Craig from 3:57 to 3:58. One second of sheer dancing brilliance.
UGH! she is such a drama queen!!! always crying about something or throwing herself at guys who don't want her
First proper episode i saw!
Hey i wonder if the show would hav differant if james sutton got the part of craig and guy burnet got the part of JP ??
Drunk Craig Stricks again! "I'm cool with the gays" xD omg Craig is funny..Oh yeah second comment on this video!
I love jp and Craig wish Craig would come back wide love to c them together not fussed on that Danny he's seeing nw xxx
@VariahR I think it just shows who they are; they wrote this story so well. They chose the right character to have a sexual confusion storyline because JP was the best friend and lover Craig ever had; it was just a matter of fact that he happened to be a bloke. :)
yep its actually craig that kiss jp first
OMG you know what would be AWESOME!?!
If sarah and hannah totally HOOKED UP!!!
Then there wouldnt be any feeling bad about JP or Craig leaving their girlfriends!
I should of SOO been the writer for HO!!
cont...JP, angry and frustrated with himself and Craig for how he is feeling. But it's Craig and he does't hold onto that feeling for long cos now Craig is with him and he doesn't seem interested in going back to sarah. Adorkable, very drunk Craig.

Now JP has confess to Craig there is no doubt in Craig's mind that JP is gay and he doesn''t want be with hannah. But JP is still in denial....
what kind of college do you go to??? lol
7:08 I squealed
John-Paul first gay kaja 💋was Craig Craig was John-Paul first love 💕Spike and John-Paul slept together on May 9th Craig came knocking may 16th better known as Mcdean day 💕💕
WhEre do You go to school? THATs where I want to go! :)
Craig is not much of a drinker, is he?
But isn´t he cute when he´s drunk??
cont...Last part
I don't blame hannah for the way she reacted or what she did. She was devastated at what she saw and on some level knew that it wasn't a drunken mistake for John Paul. I really don't know how or why but she felt that JP was more into that kiss than any kisses she shared with him. She now has to face up to what clearly has been staring her in the face all along. Never really guessing for one moment it was Craig but maybe realising that she should have seen that it was Craig.
Nancy is sooo pretty. She has a GORGEOUS face.
JP and Craig aren't bad either. :P
I have never liked Nancy's sanctimonious whining, but for once I agree with her about the inanity of the concept of a school dance.

Awkward, nerdy, nonconformist goth sounds cool to me. Much better than the fake 'popular' people 😎 👍 👍
Interestingly, I had the same thought as a teen -- though I was an awkward, nerdy, outgoing, nonconformist punk-esque, cheerleader. Instead of going to my prom, I invited my closest friends to go out to this ritz-y hotel in the city where we listened to music and partied all night.

나는 동의한다 ❤
DAMN!!! I LOVE it when Craig looked at John Paul (pissed drunk) while he was kissing Sarah LOL LOVE AND JEALOUSY HAHAHA
i try my best to like hannah, but sometimes i just cant help but hate her
how could she yell at them like that in front of the whole school??
I really love their dynamic. This storyline was so fucking juicy and the slow build up made it that much more intense. every big reveal was super shocking. just great writing. and this is coming from a mcpriest shipper.
I honestly think that dean is straight. completely. Have you ever had a best friend that you couldnt live without? that was jp to craig. to craig, jp is like his heterosexual life partner. however, the fact that jp is gay and is pinning after craig makes craig feel guilty that he cant return those feelings (this is just what i think) so that opens craigs mind up to the possibility of a romantic relationship with jp. he doesnt want jp to leave and hes fairly confident he would do anything to keep jp by his side.
He loves jp. but I dont think he was ever inlove with jp, even if he might have said it.

wow Hannah was annoying here. i mean i get why she was upset, i would be too, but did she really have to yell like that? That was a little weird........loved the kiss though!!
Alcohol is very useful at times.
Would it be at all possible for Nancy to stop whining for five minutes?
It tastes like Vanilla Mint. Craig is cinnamon.
i think it's cause she's got emotional problems and needs to feel validated through other people. But in all honesty i agree with you, sometimes i wish she would just shut up
@SingleChronology Well Sarah did end up being a lesbian... it so could've worked! And then maybe Sarah wouldn't have been thrown out of a plane by some psycho girlfriend.
kinda weird build up for the kiss. Out of the blue Craig started confessing felt a little forced, they could make a scene a bit smoother i think
lol more like 24/7 cute!!
DRAMA QUEEN! LOL< LOL< LOL
@sentstuff05
Hannah Hannah Drammah Queen!
no she didnt..Hannah married Darren and her mum got pregnant to him.
i guess that makes sense..... can i stil be annoyed with her?
Is It just me or does watching some scenes from the jp and craig story line make you cringe lol sometimes i have to fast forward lol
What you said. :)
