Craig returning to "Hollyoaks", earlier than expected

Last week, I blogged about the character of Craig (played by Guy Burnet) returning to Hollyoaks for a limited late night series, and wondering if he would get the chance to interact with John Paul. Well, now comes confirmation that he will actually be returning before then, to stir up trouble for J.P. and Kieron:

"With his heart set on rekindling his romance with John Paul (James Sutton), Craig makes a shocking return just as the dust settles in the wake of John Paul's relationship with Father Kieron Hobbs (Jake Hendriks) being exposed to the village."

When asked why the decision was made to bring Craig back, producer Bryan Kirkwood has this to say:

"The Craig and John Paul story is one of the biggest and most successful that Hollyoaks has told, winning many awards and legions of fans. I'm delighted that Guy has agreed to come back and excited to see how viewers will react to what we have in store."

Actually, Craig might not have had to worry about Kieron, as plans were originally to have the character of Niall kill him off to get back at J.P.'s family. Thanks to a massive fan petition, though, the decision was made to keep him on (Thanks to AE reader bunchoflemons for that info). Although, according to this article, his fate is still up in the air (thanks to AE reader MJ for the link). Guy returns for filming next month, with his first appearance starting in September.

Could we really be about to see a gay triangle? One that actually includes gay men, and not green cards, sham marriages, and celibacy?
