allyndraSo, I've been threatening it, and I finally decided to do the James Sutton picspam that's been shoving at my brain. I have never felt the urge to force images of a pretty man on y'all as intensely as I do about James. Even if you don't like Hollyoaks, take a peek inside at the not dial-up friendly
Although he's often scrawny-looking and frequently appears anemic, I find James Sutton and the character he plays, John Paul McQueen, incredibly attractive. Here's a non-scrawny, non-anemic shot to start out.
But he's not only lovely. He's lovely and completely willing to kiss other pretty men, as called for by the script.
In fact, he once described his day as "Get up, go to work, snog boys, come home."
This moment kills me. It's the hand on Craig's (played by Guy Burnet) stomach that gets me.
The John Paul/Craig storyline was angsty like woah, but there were some sweet, romantic moments. Like this one:
And this one:
As is fitting for a soap star, James does angst well.
Can't you just feel the inner confusion and pain?
But the thing about John Paul is, he's not just pretty, angsty, and sweet. He's also a complete dork ...
who keeps kissing inappropriate men.
In conclusion, YUM!

Date: 2008-03-18 08:44 am (UTC)What a lovely start to my day!
What's been going on with him and Fr Kieron? I missed a few eps and have now lost the thread (neither seems to have been in it for the last few). I saw the kiss above and them larking around daring each other to do silly things but then the next time I saw it Kieron had disappeared - stag weekend? - and JP got a postcard. Then I saw Kieron returning home to find JP and Kris grappling on the floor (btw love that JP and Kris are now good mates ;) and the ensuing fall out but have seen nothing of either of them since (damn Jake Dean and his physcosis!).
Has anything else happened between them or are we just left in limbo until Freaky Jake gets caught or kills himself?
Of course, I will be checking out the links you've suggested to
Feel free to share the JP loveliness anytime the urge takes you again *g*

John Paul pulls her aside and tells her to quit. She leaves, and John Paul tells Kieron maybe he'd be better of with Mercedes, who wouldn't open her fat gob and tell everyone she has the hots for a priest. Keiron apologizes for jumping to conclusions the day before and takes John Paul's hand. John Paul snatches his hand away and accuses Keiron of "doing his head in." He leaves.
Later, at the Dog, Kieron talks to Frankie, who's been worried about Charlie's immortal soul, should he die unbaptized. She says her kids don't believe in God and her son is gay, but she still wanst to protect Charlie, just in case. Keiron agrees to baptize him. Then he takes his beer over to John Paul's table and sits with him. He asks if John Paul knew about Frankie having a gay son, and John Paul says yes, that he was his "special friend." He complains that he always falls for guys he can't have. Keiron says, "I'm not saying you can't have me." John Paul replies, "Your dog collar says it for you."
Keiron, heart in his eyes, says he preaches about a loving, forgiving God every day. Surely that God didn't bring them together just to test Keiron. Surely they're supposed to touch and kiss and hold each other. Tentative smile from John Paul.
Later, Keiron goes to the hospital to baptise Charlie (Darren and Steph are God-parents), and Joh Paul finds a sobbing Nancy at the laundrette (is that the right word? We call them laundromats over here). John Paul goes with Nancy to see Charlie, and they walk in on the baptism. Nancy yells, and Keiron makes her leave.
John Paul is sitting on the sofa at the McQueen's when Kieron comes in. Keiron asks if they're alone, and John Paul says they're never alone. God is always with them. He says he never really got it before. He always thought of the other man as just Keiron, who happens to pray a lot. But seeing him in his priestly vestiments at the hospital made him realize how serious the vows he took are. And John Paul doesn't want to be the cause of him breaking them.
Kieron tells John Paul he can't stop thinking about him. Knowing he's on the other side of the wall at night, he wants to break through it and be with John Paul. John Paul says he should find a new place to live.
I think that's about it. Keiron was really emotional and hot for John Paul, though. Nice to see. And John Paul was trying to do the right thing, despite his own desires.

Will most definitely be checking out those links now.
Is it wrong that I love that it's actually Kieron pursuing JP this time? I thought that was the case when they were at the fashion show - K was flirting so outrageously with a rather bewildered JP.
Your synopsis is so lovely - almost like a fic :) It occurs to me that I never did get round to responding to your prompt request...
I really wanted to but by the time I saw it - damn you RL, damn you to hell! - it was pretty much past the sell by date. But if you ever find yourself bored again...well a little Fr K/JP and a confessional box would be this Catholic's particular guilty pleasure ;)
Thank you so much for filling in the blanks. I look forward to more JP/Kieron loveliness soon.

Date: 2008-03-18 10:50 pm (UTC)John Paul must have some special kind of pheromones, because he inspires really intense emotions in guys. Craig and Keiron, both against their will and their usual inclinations, were rendered helpless by John Paul's irresistible web of attraction. :o)
Oooh, confessional! Kinky. I'll let it float around in my head and see if anything breaks free. That's a really cool idea.

It's a lovely pic of Kieron but I also really like the background and the writing, very moody. Excellent job!
