John Paul "J.P." McQueen is a fictional character in the long-running British Channel 4 television soap opera Hollyoaks who first appeared in September 2006. He is played by actor James Sutton. John Paul is the only male in the McQueen family. Most of his storylines have revolved around his sexuality and have evolved from his uncertainty in a heterosexual relationship with Hannah, through to homosexual relationships with Spike and a pursuit of his best friend Craig Dean. John Paul is a part time DJ who plays in The Loft and is a fan of football and Liverpool F.C. in particular.
Character history
John Paul made his debut in September 2006 when the McQueen family moved to Hollyoaks. At school he became friends with Craig Dean but did not get on with Sonny Valentine. He began dating schoolmate Hannah Ashworth and somewhat reluctantly on John Paul's part, the pair eventually ended up sleeping together. They split up when John Paul revealed he was harbouring affections for someone else, which was mistakenly believed to be Craig's girlfriend Sarah Barnes. After John Paul struggled with the truth for some time, it was eventually revealed to viewers that John Paul had strong romantic feelings for Craig. John Paul initially tried to hide his feelings for Craig and slept with his ex-girlfriend Hannah again, before coming out to Craig on Hannah's 18th birthday party.
On reflection John Paul was horrified at what he confessed and told Craig he was sorry and would leave him alone, Craig however refuted this idea, telling him he was the best friend he had ever had and didn’t want that friendship to end. John Paul and Craig shared a kiss at a school dance-off competition which was seen by Hannah, who, in shock, told everyone at the dance. The next day Hannah went to confront John Paul. He finally told her that he was gay and had feelings for Craig; this has the added effect of ending Sarah and Craig's relationship. John Paul then came out to his family, receiving a mixed reaction.
After a confrontation with Sonny over his sexuality, John Paul formally came out to his classmates and informed them that if they had a problem with his sexuality they could take it up with him. However following this event, during a 5-a-side football practice with Sonny and Craig, John Paul was teased and bullied by Craig who eventually attacked John Paul physically. John Paul punched Craig and, after a violent threat to anyone else who wished to bully him, ran off. Later Craig felt remorse for how he treated John Paul and wanted to talk it through with him. John Paul made it clear that Craig was no longer his friend and did not accept his apology.
John Paul embarked on a relationship with a DJ who is simply known as Spike, after a first date together at the Dog. However, Hannah, still believing herself to be in love with John Paul, purposefully sabotaged the date. Spike and John Paul shared their first kiss after a DJ competition in The Dog and gradually their relationship looked to be becoming sexual, as well as being strengthened by Spike meeting (and getting on well with) John Paul's family.
John Paul and Spike's relationship was the source of much jealousy from Craig Dean. He immediately took a disliking to Spike and grew furious when John Paul tried to speak about his fears about having sex with Spike. On May 15th, Craig had trouble concentrating during an exam, as all he could think about was John Paul and Spike. Craig stormed out of the exam and went to John Paul's house. After having a conversation in which each revealed their true feelings for the other, the couple slept together. However, in the morning, Craig got out of the bed and then said to John Paul "Get your hands off me...FAGGOT!" before storming out.
Relationship with Craig becomes sexual
Subsequently, Craig's relationship with Sarah began to deteriorate, as Craig stuggled with his apparent homosexual tendencies. Unwilling to come out, Craig denied to himself that he was gay, believing instead that he only had feelings for John Paul rather than actually being gay. Craig negotiated an uneasy few months with Sarah, at times crazed by the situation he is in and at times a functional happy couple. This situation was further exacerbated by Sarah's modelling career, the source of even more jealousy from Craig.
Eventually John-Paul convinced Craig to leave Sarah whilst in the Dog, and in turn he promises to leave Spike. Whilst John-Paul and Spike did break up, Craig and Sarah did not, leaving John-Paul frustrated and furious. Craig and Sarah left to go on holiday together, unbeknownst to John Paul until the last minute. Angry and upset, John Paul wrote a letter to Frankie Osborne saying that he had been sleeping with her son and that he was sorry that she had to hear about it from him. However, realising his mistake, he managed to retrieve it with Spike's help (Spike being unaware of the letter's true contents).
In John Paul's bedroom the next day, he and Spike shared a kiss. However, when lying on the bed together after spotting the picture of him and Craig together, John Paul realised he no longer had feelings for Spike despite Craigs betrayal and told him to leave. When he had gone he got the picture of him and Craig out of the bin and stared at it longingly.
Craig returned from his holiday, and made it clear that he still had feelings for John Paul, insisting that he thought about him all the time while on holiday. John-Paul snapped back that he'd had enough and intended to end it with Craig for good, however, Craig couldn't stay away, and they are both continuing their relationship, unable to resist each other.
