"Hollyoaks" video clip update: One wedding and a funeral

This Hollyoaks clip is short, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for in lingering questions.

It's Carmel's wedding day, and John Paul isn't exactly eager about getting ready. He's giving her away, but his mind is far away from his family, and he'd rather just sleep in.

When Niall tells him he better get dressed and get going, J.P. says it would be worth it to show up in his skivvies just to see the look on Carmel's face. Niall looks stunned, and says "Carmel? ...It's Kieron's funeral today." Now it's J.P.'s turn to look stunned, as he didn't know Kieron's service was the same time as his sister's wedding, and he rushes off to talk to Carmel.

Back at the McQueen compound, J.P. tells Carmel that he can't give her away, which seems understandable considering he's burying the man he loved, but his sister Jacqui is unmoved, saying "grieve Kieron on your own time", and slaps him in the face.

Later, a radiant Carmel walks down the steps to the "oohs" and "aahs" of her family. Wait a minute, did i say "radiant"? Sorry, I meant Radioactive! Seriously, did she wash her face with an Orange Julius?

Unfortunately, when J.P. (who seems perfectly fine now) zips up her dress, it's impossible for her to walk. Luckily, Michaela has the perfect solution: roller skates. With one crisis averted, it's time for another, as Carmel finds out that her intended, Calvin, has not shown up for the wedding.

Okay, where to begin with this clip. First, why wouldn't J.P. know when Kieron's funeral is? If he didn't have a hand in the arrangements, at least he'd have know the date and time! Also, when they found out that the dates conflicted, why couldn't the time be pushed back a couple of hours? They could have rescheduled the funeral an hour or two. And why can't Myra give her daughter away? You'd think his family would understand.

And finally, WTF is wrong with Jacqui? Your brother's fiance dies in his arms and you think it's selfish for him to want to go to the funeral over his sister's wedding? I got news for you, Jacqui. Kieron is only going to be buried once ... Carmel will have many, many weddings in her future!

You can see the clip after the break, and let us know what you think of today's clip, and the antics of the McQueen family. Outraged, perplexed, or do you think it's just par for the course for this dysfunctional family?
