"Hollyoaks" video clip update: Rollaway Bride

Today's Hollyoaks clip picks up with John Paul rolling his sister Carmel down the aisle (as you recall, Carmel's dress was too tight, and she couldn't walk, so they put her on roller skates).

As Carmel's wedding march fills the chapel (would it surprise you to learn that it's a Spice Girls song?), she tells J.P. that she's glad that he came, and he says "me too".

Later, they're arriving at the reception when J.P. sees Craig, and Myra has to remind him that it's Carmel's day. She tells him that he can't keep blaming himself for Kieron's death, and when he says he should have been at the funeral, says he has to respect Kieron's family's wishes, too. She promises J.P. that they'll pay their own respects to Kieron later in the week.

After Myra leaves, Craig shows up, and he and J.P. make plans to go for a drink before Craig goes back to Dublin.

Sensing that J.P. might actually be on the road to recovery, Niall swoops in to put a stop to it, and tells him about Kieron's service, and how heartbroken his mom and dad were. After all, "losing your son is something you never get over, is it?"

Well, I like this episode more than yesterday's headscratcher. We learn that it was probably Kieron's family who kept the details of the funeral from J.P., and it was very sweet of Myra to suggest that they pay their respects their own way.

And once again, Niall is so wonderfully, hilariously, insidiously evil. I wish he could stick around just to be that guy who says the most horribly inappropriate things to people ... maybe they could put him in a hot li'l devil costume and play people's consciences. He could appear in a *POOF*, say something outrageous, then *POOF* out again.

You can see the clip after the break, and check back for more updates!
