Hollyoaks video clip: The "Confession Time" update

It's been very busy over at Hollyoaks since our last update on Friday. (soap opera, like death, doesn't take a holiday). In the first of our two clips today, John Paul slips into the bathroom to surprise a showering Kieron, but is in for a shock of his own when he pulls back the curtain to reveal Niall (strangely, I saw the same thing last night when Fran walked in on Mr. Sheffield in the shower on The Nanny).

Myra calls, and J.P., like any normal teenager, rolls his eyes and feigns exasperation at his mother's meddling. Niall (who would actually be a nice guy if he didn't do so many...evil things) lets it "slip" that Mercedes punched Kieron, knowing full well that Myra would try to get to the bottom of it. When she shows up unexpectedly at Kieron's place, J.P. is forced to hide, and after badgering poor Kieron into accepting an invitation to "chat", tells him, in the understatement of the year "you've sure got your hands full with this family!".

In part 2, Niall tries to convince J.P. to come clean to his mum about him and Kieron, meanwhile Myra is confessing to the young priest that she's at her wit's end with her children...all six of them. Oh wait, hold on...make that seven. She tells Kieron that when she was 14, she gave up her first baby, and as she recounts the story, we see shots of an anguished Niall (could the truth finally about to be revealed?).

What's interesting about these clips is that once again, Kieron takes his vows very seriously, to the point of shutting J.P. out when it comes to not revealing anything about Myra's confession. He's still obviously tortured between his love of J.P. and his love of the church, and whether this will eventually come between them again is something I hope is fully explored.
