"Hollyoaks" video clip: Crauling Away

The first of today's two Hollyoaks clips opens with Niall finding a letter that Kieron had written to Myra before his death. Reading it, it appears that Niall actually might feel a pang of guilt (but don't worry, it'll be gone by the end of the second clip).

John Paul has brought some of Kieron's things over to Myra's, and when she sees the plane ticket that Craig gave J.P., says "that boy!..it's like Kieron never even existed!". Strangely, though, in the very same scene she seems to be giving her blessing for Craul, when she and J.P. have this conversation:

Myra: "I know you loved Craig, and maybe you still do, but that don't mean you never loved Kieron. Something something* happiness, whether it lasted minutes or months...who I am to deny you a chance at that?"

J.P.: "Turn my back on Kieron, mum? It's too soon!"

Myra: "Baby, Kieron's gone. Don't let guilt ruin your life."

J.P.: "He deserved better, mum"

* I couldn't understand the first part.

So, is it just me, or did Myra just do a huge about face in the span of a minute?

The rest of the first clip involves Craig making final preparations for leaving, as he sends J.P. a last ditch voice mail, and says hasty goodbyes to his family (who are desperate to keep him from discovering "the secret of the living corpse").

Niall has a hilarious mini-mad scene (twirling..TWIRLING..TWIRLING!), and when J.P. gets the message on his phone from Craig, Niall deletes it before he can hear it.

The second clip involves more goodbyes for Craig, but most of it is about J.P. and Niall, who is realizing that his control over the lad is unraveling, and he...must..do..something. The rest we'll leave to you, but suffice it to say that it involves a certain beverage, and a definite sense of deja-vu.

You can see the second clip after the break, and let us know what you think? I have to admit to being a bit startled by the seemingly abrupt change of heart from Myra. With the "sunset ending" coming next, do you think the show has set it up well? Let us know in the comments, and come back tomorrow...but make sure you have plenty of tissues handy.
