James Sutton on leaving "Hollyoaks", plus the first pic of Craig's return!
Like every Hollyoaks fan, I was saddened (though not exactly shocked) to hear about the decision of James Sutton to leave the show, and wondered what it would mean for his character, the gay teen John Paul. James was interviewed for the Hollyoaks website, and has this to say about what to expect with the exit of J.P.: "Lots of thrills and spills really! It's very exciting, I've only just read the scripts and it's great. They've put a lot of time and effort into it and because they have brought Guy Burnet (Craig) back and stuff it's all going to tie together really well. And of course the Father Kieron element as well!" And as to whether he'd rather see J.P. end up with Craig or Kieron, he plays it safe: "I couldn't say really! I know Guy (Craig) and Jake (Kieron) have both got their own fans now so I wouldn't want to offend either band of people! But they are both great." If the acting thing doesn't work out, James can always choose a career in politics. Oh, just kidding. We actually caught up with the actor the other day (our editor says that he's a doll), and we'll have a much more revealing interview up on the main page on Wednesday. They've also released this first pic of Guy back on the set. Check it out and discuss after the break!
I'm not sure what they want us to infer from this scene, but what I see is Craig staring intently at J.P., and moving his hands instinctively down to his "happy place", while J.P. stares off into the distance, possibly looking for Kieron, and just out of camera range is Niall with a tear stained copy of his birth certificate ... and a machete. What do you see? Submitted by on Mon, 2008-07-07 09:48. |

I see stubble! Ahhh, Craig
Craig Needs A Shave... Badly
i know it wasn't really a scene...
what's wrong with facial hair?
Nothing Wrong...
Yeah, if you read the
Ahhh, memories...
These two look really good together.
Not loving those tennis shoes, though. Did Craig get a job as a male nurse in Scotland or something?
Awaiting anxiously to see how this turns out.
thank god craig....
thank god craig is not wearing those damn black jeans they had him wear all the time before during the jp/craig storyline.
..well, they may have him wear them again, but he isn't in the picture, so hopefully they gave him a better, more flattering wardrobe.
I am rather fond of Kieron
Stubble helps make Craig look more butch!
They probably had Craig leave the stubble on to make him look more butch instead of the whiney-ass gurl that he used to be before he was left at the airport by JP. Course JP is just as whiney as Craig is so WTF?
Why is it, with the exception of uber hot Ollian, that most gay characters here and abroad in soaps are whiney-ass gurls? You know, like Loretta Luke of ATWT!
JP Whiny?
Love both Keiron and Craig
There is a huge debate on the Hollyoaks sites about who JP should leave with. I love both characters and just hope the exit is well written and provides some nice closure. Keiron is sweet and loving, but the energy and attraction between JP and Craig always seemed to be stronger.
I really hope we see James in something well written and well recieved soon. He is a great character actor and nice guy. He deserves to do well.
I bet
I bet
Well, even if they don't
I see a fat script on the
I see a fat script on the table in front of Guy - I hope this means his character DOES get enough airtime to make it all a bit believable and to tie up all the loose ends. But if James says it's a good script, I'll be happy to trust him. Can't wait for the interview!!!!
I also see a very sexy stubble, NO CARDIGAN, NO STRIPED HOODIES and the return of JP's hairproduct (the ceasar-do does not suit him). Yum Yum to all of that.
Yea, Spike
I really hope Kieron will
I really hope Kieron will stay. I have developed a
embarrassingstrange crush on Jake Hendriks (that hint of a double chin, that tiny bit of a belly - awwww ;-) ) and would be really sorry to see his character go/die/anything else than staying.Best thing would be JP leaving with Craig via sunset and Spike coming back to soothe Kieron's hurt feelings.
spike and kieron???
