I can't believe this happened to John Paul and Carter on Hollyoaks!

I started watching a show called Hollyoaks, due to a clip I saw on youtube of the two characters, John Paul and Carter. Kissing.

The storyline follows Carter, who is a newcomer and a very religious man who thinks being gay is bad. When he meets John Paul, he starts to have feelings for him and admits he's actually gay, but is trying not to let his "Sinful" urges get in the way.

As the story progresses, we see Carter being vulnerable and there are moments where he really wants to be with John Paul and where he's like, is being gay really a bad thing?

But then a few other characters get into the mix and corrupt him into being "Straight" again, and while there are instances where he gets vulnerable with his feelings for John Paul. He eventually starts going haywire, and tells a kid he isn't gay and he needs to be straight, gets transphobic towards one of the trans characters and even crashing a pride parade to be homophobic. 

Like the show went from Carter slowly coming to terms with his sexuality, to a complete 180, where he reverts back to who he was before, but 10 times worse and becomes super hateful.

The storyline ends with Carter KIDNAPPING John Paul, where he gives him a baptism and thinks he drowned him. Although John Paul survives, Carter was happy he didn't die. Carter gets arrested and that's that.

Opinions:

What upsets me so much, is these characters had so much chemistry. They were super cute together, (The actors aren't bad looking either). The kiss scenes were cute as well. One thing that annoyed me about the show Eastenders, with the gay couple, Ben and Callum. Their kisses were super weird. But then seeing John Paul and Carter kiss, was like magic, it was super cute and sensual. 

The way the storyline was going, they made it seem like they WERE going to get together and Carter would accept who he was. But then Carter pulls a 180. Like even Carter's on screen daughter, was calling them her dads on instagram, which made me believe they knew something we didn't know. 

There's a few scenes I'd like to bring up. One scene, involves John Paul going to the hospital to see his mom who was sick. Carter, being the gentleman that he is, went to go visit and support JP. Then later on, John Paul goes over to Carters house to thank him and they have a very intimate moment, before another character ruins it lol.

Like, the show was putting them together, it was putting them in real life couple situations and then they just SNATCHED it right out of our hands and made Carter a madman.

Continuity Error?

When John Paul and Carter have their first kiss, Carter says he doesn't like how men have treated John Paul and how JP needs someone who will love and support him. They end up kissing. This in turn, also makes it seem like Carter was supposed to be John Pauls happily ever after, because you had this guy who is secretly crazy about JP and wants to treat him well.

But their last scene together is him literally drowning John Paul.

I'm so upset about this, ya'll have no idea/
