"Hollyoaks" video clip update: Let's blow this popsicle stand!

*Note - Title is not a euphemism.

Today's Hollyoaks clip begins with John Paul and Kieron making plans...to leave Hollyoaks! Kieron is unsure, though. He doesn't want J.P. to leave without telling his family (especially his mother) goodbye, and asks J.P. for the umpteenth time if this is really what he wants.

Kieron: I just can't get my head around you being willing to give up your family for me.

J.P.: Why? I know what you've given up for me.

Um ... yeah, one of you is giving up God, the other one ... the McQueen family. I guess that's even.

They pack their things and get all the way to the train stop, when J.P. gets a phone call informing him that his very pregnant sister Tina has "fallen" down some stairs, and has been rushed to the hospital. Their plans are therefore put on hold as J.P. leaves for the hospital, and Kieron brings their stuff back to the flat.

The reason I put "fallen" in quotes is because it was actually Niall who pushed Tina down the steps, meaning he can cross #6 off his "destroy the McQueens!" to-do list. I fully expect to see Niall having a Dynasty-esque mud fight with Kieron before this is all over ... preferably naked.

As J.P. goes to the hospital, Kieron runs into violent delinquent Ste, who is an abusive thug, but is trashy hot in a Kevin Federline sort of way (please don't tell anyone I said that). J.P. walks into the hospital and is reunited with his mother, and for the moment, they're a family again.

Actually, having the entire McQueen family in the same room illuminates how utterly perfect the casting for this show is. There wasn't a moment that I did not believe that these people weren't a real family. A horribly dysfunctional family, but when the chips are down, they come together (I can totally see them as a Ma Barker style 1930's era family).

The rest is too good to spoil, so I'll leave it to you, but it involves more evil Niall machinations, Ste stripping (while Kieron watches), and a shocking finale.

You can see the clip after the break, and be sure to come back for more Hollyoaks updates.
