"Hollyoaks" video clip update: Uncomfortably numb

Today's aftermath clips begin with the coroner hauling away Kieron's body, as John Paul looks on, still stunned by what's happened.

Niall shows up at Steph's flat, and when he gets the call from J.P., gives Steph his best poker face (usually when he looks at her, it's with a different kind of "poker" face). He "learns" the news about Kieron, and tells Steph that he must have killed himself. As she embraces him, Niall looks up and gives one of the all time greatest "Damn, I'm evil!" stares directly into the camera. Love it!

He tracks down an inconsolable J.P., who refuses to believe that Kieron would have intentionally overdosed, and wants to go the morgue to "be with him", but Niall convinces him to go home to see his mother. Myra (who's been rendered unconscious by a double order of fish & chips) is startled awake by the two of them, who explain that Kieron is gone (and once again, Niall makes sure everyone knows it was a "suicide").

Meanwhile, Craig decides to visit his sister Steph, who explains what's happened. He tells her that J.P. had gone over to see Kieron to break up with him, but the timing of his suicide doesn't make sense. He's insistent on going to see J.P., but Steph tries to convince him to stay away for now, as he needs to be with his family.

Myra also can't fathom how Kieron could have killed himself, and after offering Niall a beer (oops!), laments that this will haunt J.P. forever. As J.P. listens from the top of the stairs (looking not like a grown man who has just lost his fiance, but like a scared, confused boy), Myra says that Kieron was like a son to her, which causes Niall to momentarily drop his guard, and I could be wrong, but almost blurts out "I'm your son!"

The second clip we'll leave for you, but it involves the following:

Myra losing her bid to be "mother of the year".

Mercedes stepping up and showing why she's one of my favorite characters.

Craig trying to convince J.P. (and himself) that Kieron's "suicide" was not their fault.

J.P.'s final, heartbreaking plea to Niall "what am I gonna do?"

After last week's stellar clips, anything was going to be a letdown, but I was a little disappointed with this follow-up. Both Craig and Myra came off as selfish (Craig probably more needy than selfish, but Myra showed an ugly side to herself). Anyone else hoping for more, different, etc.?

You can see the second clip after the break, and let us know in the comments section if you were disappointed, or thought it was a worthy follow-up to the Kieron storyline.
