Craig Dean (born 26 June 1988) was a fictional character on the long-running British Channel 4 television soap opera Hollyoaks.
He is played by actor Guy Burnet.
Description
Intelligent and crafty, Craig was often willing to turn his hand to scams and manipulation to get his way. In recent months he has been in turmoil over his growing feelings for best friend John-Paul McQueen. He has a strong jealous streak.
Storylines
Relationship with Abby Davies
Craig began the show by using his intelligence to manipulate Hollyoaks Villagers and to pull a variety of scams. He also fell for older girl Abby Davies as she led him on, making him believe that she fancied him. However, nothing happened in the relationship after Craig discovered that she was using him to make her ex boyfriend Lee Hunter jealous.
Relationship with Natalie Osborne
Craig also has a supportive side which he used when his sister Steph was attacked and was left with epilepsy by Toby Mills. Craig supported her through this and was always there for his family when they needed him as they struggled through their debts. Craig’s love life had improved as he fell for the charms of another older girl, Natalie Osborne who managed to seduce him. But she wanted to keep their relationship a secret and she used him to lose her virginity. She then started to lose interest in him but was taught a lesson by Craig's sisters Debbie and Steph who had both had an intense dislike of Natalie since she arrived. Natalie then left Hollyoaks and Craig behind.
Father problems
However, Craig had another huge shock, which left him devastated as his father Johnno left the family after having an affair with a younger girl who was having his child. Craig had been left heartbroken and found it difficult to recover from this. But slowly he came to terms with what had happened and supported his mother, Frankie, who was also in shock. After that Craig became fiercely protective of his family and friends. The Deans then moved into The Dog In The Pond pub with Jack Osborne, whom Frankie started dating.
Craig was shocked when Johnno returned to the village and told his family that his girlfriend had left him for someone else, and that he realised he missed his family. Craig then found out that Johnno was lying and that he had left his girlfriend and newborn son after he decided that he didn't want to be a father again at his age. Craig, Jake and Steph were disgusted by his behaviour and by him leaving his child without a father and his girlfriend without financial support.
Relationship with Darlene Taylor
He then started a relationship with Darlene Taylor and supported her after her step-brother Justin Burton pushed her through a window and later when her brother Ali was killed by a car. Meanwhile Frankie and Jack got married and Darlene dealt with her feelings by making up claims about his family making passes at her. This led to her step-mother Liz Burton throwing her out of her house and Darlene living with the Dean/Osborne clan. Darlene started flirting with Craig's step-brother Darren and then telling Craig that Darren was the one seducing her. Craig then walked in on her having sex with Darren: an event Darren orchestrated to prove what type of person Darlene was to Craig.
Restarting school
Craig had been hoping to escape Hollyoaks village after completing his A levels. He had been offered a conditional place at Trinity College in Ireland, but after failing to get the right grades he decided to repeat a year at Hollyoaks Comprehensive. Meanwhile Jake accidentally ran over Diane Valentine causing her son Sonny to start bullying him at school. However, through the bullying Craig made new friends in John-Paul McQueen, Sarah Barnes,Hannah Ashworth and Nancy Hayton. John-Paul became Craig's best friend and helped him stand up to Sonny. Sarah became his girlfriend and Hannah started dating John-Paul. His relationship with Sarah became rocky after Rhys Ashworth (Sarah's ex) talked to Craig about Sarah being a slut. He and Sarah had a big argument before resolving their differences.
Friendship with John-Paul McQueen
More recently, John-Paul split-up with his girlfriend Hannah Ashworth, blaming it on fancying someone else that was mistakenly believed to be Sarah. When Craig caught Sarah talking to John-Paul, he blew it off and dumped Sarah calling her a "slag" and a "slapper". John-Paul later claimed he made up fancying Sarah as a way of pushing Hannah away because he loved her. The friendship was back on track with both Craig and John-Paul (the latter more half-heartedly) trying to win back their girlfriends. Craig set on a mission to get Sarah back. They did get back together but at Hannah's 18th birthday party, he caught a drunken Sarah kissing Rhys. John-Paul broke the fight that ensued apart and blurted out that Sarah was not good enough for him. This seemingly came out of the blue for Craig and followed John-Paul outside to demand what he meant by that. John-Paul confessed that he said it because he is jealous of her and he is in love with Craig. Craig didn't see any of this coming and was very shocked to lose his girlfriend and to find out his best friend was in love with him on the same night. He managed to get over what John-Paul said as long as he didn't mention it again and he forgave Sarah for kissing Rhys. However it was hinted that he might have had ulterior motives for getting back with her.
John-Paul's coming out
He and Sarah then went to the school Dance together (as did John-Paul and Hannah). John-Paul watched as Craig and Sarah kissed on the dance floor and Sarah told Craig she loved him. John-Paul stormed off and Craig soon followed. They both drank too much and Craig told John-Paul he was okay with the "gayness." He and John-Paul kissed with Craig telling John-Paul, "Remember this...I love you, I love you." Hannah saw them and told Sarah and the rest of the school. The following day they were the talk of the school and John-Paul told everyone he was gay. Craig was furious with John-Paul coming out in front of their classmates, since by association people thought he must have been gay too. This caused Craig's bullying by Sonny to get worse, but he told everyone he was not gay and that John-Paul came on to him. In order to get on Sonny's good side during a five-a-side match, he repeatedly smashed into John-Paul, eventually culminating in a beating (to Sonny's glee) where Craig called John-Paul a 'queer'. After punching Craig back, John-Paul ran off tearfully. Later on, Craig apologised to John-Paul but John-Paul didn't accept it. Craig asks John-Paul "If you didn't think I was gay, then why'd'ya try it on with me?" John-Paul told him to forget it and turned away. Craig tried to call out to him by starting, "Mate..." but John-Paul cutted him off saying "Mate...yeah right" and walked off.
Friends again
Time passes and Craig and John-Paul are still not talking to each other, Sarah tries to make them talk to each other. After Craig defends John-Paul to Sonny and telling John-Paul he doesn't mind him being gay, John-Paul said he would think about being friends again. Whilst defending John-Paul to Sonny, Sonny was incredulous and asked Craig "You one of them? 'Cause you act like it half the time" which Craig didn't deny but just said that it was 'better than being a chauvinist bully"
Craig's jealous side began to show when he, Sarah and Hannah saw John-Paul kissing his new boyfriend Spike, Craig looked as shocked and upset as Hannah at this and was later shown in a bad mood. The two of them had also not looked keen when Sarah had earlier been excitedly discussing John-Paul and Spike. Craig then managed to get 2 tickets to a concert John-Paul desperately wanted to go to. Craig told Sarah they cost him so much he could only buy two. When Craig tells John-Paul, John-Paul refuses to go without Spike. Craig shows strong disappointment for he later admitted that he felt that by getting the tickets he and John-Paul could be proper mates again. Sarah then suggested they all just go for a drink instead of fighting about who goes to the concert. Craig is obviously envious of Spike. Whenever Spike talked, Craig would snap at him with a nasty comment. When Sarah went to talk to Craig after he walked off, he admitted he was jealous of all the attention John-Paul is giving to Spike which used to go to him. He quickly suggests getting 4 tickets to a concert they "all like" which Sarah thinks is a good idea. Craig can still be seen in a foul mood.
Weeks pass and things seem to be back to normal between everyone. John-Paul, Sarah, Craig and Hannah study for their exams, but Sarah takes time out to quiz John-Paul on his sex life with Spike. Craig protests, but John-Paul says it's fine to talk about it. He admits he hasn't tried sex yet with Spike because he thinks that Spike is experienced and he's not. Craig becomes increasingly uncomfortable and storms out of the McQueen house after yelling at both Sarah and Hannah. Craig blames his mood on exam stress.
Days later, John-Paul is unable to continue making excuses to not be alone with Spike. He admits to Hannah that if he sleeps with Spike then he really will be gay. Spike does come 'round the McQueen house and after a very nervous conversation, he leads Spike upstairs to his room.
Craig grows increasingly hostile toward Spike explaining that he is looking out for his best mate. In a fit of spite, Hannah throws the fact that John-Paul is in love with Craig in Spike's face. This causes a row between John-Paul and Spike where John-Paul admits he had a "school boy crush" on Craig, but that he has never felt for anyone like he feels for Spike. The argument ends in a passionate kiss in front of everyone at the Dog.
Myra McQueen insists that John-Paul bring Spike over for tea, against John-Paul's better judgement. Spike comes over and meets Myra and Mercedes and quickly wins them over. Craig arrives as they are all going to a gig, but he feels left out as John-Paul and Spike tease him and later ignore him as they giggle on the sofa. Craig overhears John-Paul tell Spike he believes they have a future together. Dejected, Craig decides to leave and exits without John-Paul even noticing.
Relationship with John-Paul becomes sexual and his relationship with Sarah changes.
On the 16 May 2007, Craig sees John-Paul and Spike at the Dog and goes to talk to John-Paul while Spike is in the bathroom. He's bitching about Spike again. John-Paul is disappointed with Craig and reminds him Spike is his boyfriend, adding he has grown a lot in the last few months and doesn't fancy Craig anymore.
Later, Craig has trouble concentrating during an exam. He storms out of the exam and arrives at John-Paul's house, where he continues to diss Spike. Craig finally lets his emotions get the better of him. Tearing up, he questions John-Paul's feelings for him. John-Paul admits that he still loves Craig and more so than Spike. Craig asks if he and Spike have slept together and when John-Paul confirms that they have, Craig admits that he can't stop thinking about John-Paul and kisses him. They end up sleeping together. Later on, Craig rises clearly angry, dresses quickly, calls John-Paul a "faggot" when he tries to touch Craig and then storms out of the house, leaving John-Paul confused and upset.
Craig arrives at school the next day early, and snaps at Sarah before sitting an exam. He's rude to her. Later on after the examinations are complete, he has another heated argument with Sarah and his second hurried apology frightens her. He tells her that she disgusts him and she tells him she hates him and runs off.
John-Paul attempts to speak with Craig outside The Dog, and Craig angrily responds that John-Paul has "ruined everything." John-Paul replies: "You can't blame me", they argue, and finally Craig tells John-Paul to stay away from him.
The next day, Craig attempts to make amends with Sarah. Whilst at the SUbar Craig and Sarah, who are joined by Spike and John-Paul, speak alone and come to an agreement to stay together as long as Craig stays in line. Craig goes for more drinks and John-Paul follows him to the bar. John-Paul asks if he's had any time to get his head around what happened between them and Craig says he doesn't know what John-Paul is talking about. John-Paul tells him that he too was confused before he came out but Craig tells John-Paul that he is not like Spike and John-Paul and he better keep his mouth shut as it would be Craig's word against John-Paul's if anything came out.
A few weeks later, Sarah secures a modelling audition thanks to ex-boyfriend Rhys. She confides in and asks advice of John-Paul about how he thinks Craig will react and how to deal with it. As they discuss this, Craig is hiding and watching, paranoid that John-Paul is telling Sarah about their night of passion instigated by Craig himself. He barges into the conversation and claims that whatever John-Paul is saying is not true, and not to believe him. Sarah has no idea what he is going on about, whilst John-Paul understands more about Craig. When Craig learns the truth, he tells Sarah he would be happy for her to go on this modelling shoot, but this is just to cover his tracks.
Realisation & Beginning to come to terms with his sexuality
The next day, after the modelling shoot, Craig is shown the pictures from the shoot and sees that they were taken of Sarah in suggestive poses with another man. Sarah assures Craig that this man is gay and there is nothing to worry about. However, John-Paul later bumps into Sarah on the way to The Dog to see Craig, and she tags along. During the meeting, Sarah receives phone calls from the guy from the shoot. Craig gets jealous and grabs the phone off of Sarah telling the model to back off. John-Paul advises Craig to tell Sarah the truth, so Craig tells Sarah that he is not happy that she is going to be a model. However, this infuriated Sarah very much and she storms off. Craig is later seen in his room, as John-Paul greets him, only to be told that he shouldn't have advised him to tell Sarah the truth. Later on, Sarah has another argument with Craig at The Dog, telling him she doesn't want a jealous boyfriend, and leaves an upset and confused Craig. He tries to phone John-Paul, who, as soon as he sees it's Craig, doesn't answer.
The next day, John-Paul and Spike celebrate their two month relationship. Craig repeatedly calls until finally John-Paul has to answer. Craig wants to see him now, so John-Paul leaves a disheartened Spike. John-Paul becomes even more troubled when Craig gives him a warm hug as soon as he arrives. Then Craig tells John-Paul he realized how much he means to him, he tells him they'll be best mates. Realising nothing has changed, John-Paul leaves upset, telling Craig to leave him alone, if he wants to pretend they never had sex, it's fine, but he doesn't want to be involved in his life anymore. But later, Craig turns up at the McQueens' and enters John-Paul's bedroom. John-Paul asks Craig to leave, but Craig refuses, closes the door behind him and starts kissing John-Paul passionately. John-Paul gets lost in the moment and they end up sleeping together again. Later on, Craig disentangles himself from a sleeping John-Paul and looks at him confusedly, but affectionately, before he leaves.
The next day at The Dog, Craig is sending a text saying "I love you", probably to Sarah. Later he sees John-Paul and seems almost glad to see him. John-Paul, assures Craig he doesn't need to rush into coming out. But Craig is still in denial and reveals he wants to be with Sarah (so the text was for Sarah). John-Paul is stunned, but he still tries to convince Craig, saying he can take good care of him as much as Sarah. As they sit under a tree, Craig insists he's sorted everything out in his head, he's not gay, and never will be, but this doesn't mean that he and John-Paul can't have sex from time to time, they could still continue to see each other, no one gets hurt. John-Paul reminds Craig his love for him, and tells him he's sick of being used. An unfazed Craig tells John-Paul whether he likes it or not, they both know how it's gonna end up: he'll knock at John-Paul's door, and John-Paul will open it. John-Paul doesn't answer and leaves. Later on, Craig convinces Sarah to take him back and as they kiss and make up, John Paul looks on, heartbroken. The next week Craig is asleep and dreaming he is asleep with John-Paul; however, he awakens and is actually with Sarah; he appeares disappointed. Craig and Sarah enjoy each others company, glad their relationship is back on track. However, Craig becomes uneasy when Sarah calls John-Paul over to join them. Craig is uncomfortable in John-Paul's presence. John-Paul is also upset and doesn't want to talk to him. Later at the McQueen's, Craig turns up, angry with John Paul's earlier behaviour. As they argue, John Paul demands Craig stay away, otherwise he'll tell Sarah about Craig's secret.
A few weeks later, two of Sarah's friends from the modelling industry meet with her and Craig for a friendly get together. Craig acts cold to the friends, particularly the male. The four dine dine at Il Nosh and bump into John-Paul who stays to chat for a short while before leaving, followed by Craig. Back at John-Paul's house, Craig tells John-Paul that he can't stop thinking about him, and although he loves Sarah, he loves John-Paul too. Craig then leads John-Paul upstairs where they once again sleep together.
Later, as Craig lies with John-Paul in bed, his mobile phone rings, the caller ID showing that Sarah is calling him. However, Craig ignores it and goes back to sleep in John-Paul's arms, leaving John-Paul with a smile on his face.
A few weeks pass with Craig still confused about his sexuality. He and John-Paul both agree to split with their partner's to be with each other. However, Craig doesn't live up to his part of the bargain, leaving John-Paul upset. Craig explains that he can't do it now because of the state that Sarah is in. John-Paul tells him to be with his girlfriend, they kiss, leaving John-Paul even more hurt.
Realising he needs to get away from things, Craig books a last minute holiday on the internet, and sets of with Sarah, unaware of John-Paul chasing the cab as it drives off but Sarah heard John Paul call out to them. While Craig is away, John-Paul writes a letter to Craig's mum, explaining everything about their affair, but once he's posted it, gets cold feet about it and enlists the help of Spike to help get it back.
Craig and Sarah return from their holiday and explain to John-Paul about the great time they had. Later on in John-Paul's room, Craig tells John-Paul that he thought about him loads while he was away. An angry John-Paul shows Craig the letter that he had written to Craig's mum. Craig gets angry and John Paul shouts for him to leave.
The following day, Craig approaches John-Paul nervously in the The Dog and tries to talk about things. John-Paul tries to blank this by talking about his fantasy team. Later, at the McQueen house, Craig tells John-Paul that ending the relationship is the worst answer. John-Paul shouts at Craig and knocks an iron onto his own foot. Craig jokingly asks if John-Paul wants him to kiss it better. They laugh and kiss, and are later seen having slept together. Craig tells John-Paul, whilst in bed that he was going to dump Sarah, but John-Paul tells Craig not to ruin the moment and they embrace once again, both looking blissfully happy with each other.
In the middle of August, both Frankie Osborne and Darren Osborne are shopping at the Trafford Centre, (Manchester) and there is no one to work behind the bar in The Dog. When Jack Osborne asks Craig to take over Darren's shift, Spike offers to take the job. Craig will do anything to make sure that Spike doesn't get the shift so accepts Jacks' request. Later on in the episode, while Craig is on his shift, John-Paul comes in the pub to see Craig. Unaware that Spike is watching, John-Paul and Craig get quite close and Craig asks John-Paul if he'd like to come upstairs. John-Paul accepts.
Jack Osborne returns to the bar to discover that Craig isn't doing his shift. Jack asks Spike if he knows where Craig is and Spike replies "He said something about going for a lie down", knowing that John-Paul and Craig have just gone upstairs together. Craig and John-Paul are yet again in bed together and have exchanged 'I Love You's' when they hear Jack coming up the stairs, so John-Paul hides under the covers. Jack assumes that it must be Sarah Barnes hiding under the duvet and apologises.
Jack told Spike that he didn't know Sarah Barnes was with Craig upstairs - now Spike knows about the John-Paul/Craig relationship.
Now Spike knows, Craig is worried about how much longer the relationship will remain a secret. There's an awkwardness between Craig and John-Paul when Sarah joins them at the college to get their exam results. Craig is terrified Spike knows about him and John-Paul, while John-Paul is uncomfortable as he watches Craig and Sarah get close to each other and is determined to have fun, although unknown to him Craig spends much of the exam celebrations watching John-Paul longingly wishing he was with him.
However, desperate not to be outed, Craig plays on John-Paul's sense of chivalry and tells him that after what Sarah has already gone through with her family, their relationship should remain a secret. John-Paul is persuaded to go and talk to Spike but wonders if Craig is aware how much this is hurting him. Spike reassures John Paul he won't blab but warns him Craig does not really love him. JP appreciated his concern but tells Spike he and Craig love each other and not to ruin things for him.
The affair is Revealed
Craig is unconvinced Spike will keep quiet and the lads square up after exchanging words. Sarah is certain something is up when she arrives on the scene and overhears them. Spike takes off, leaving Craig to extricate himself out of the situation. Suspecting there is another girl, Sarah demands to know who she is. Craig is clearly upset and about to tell the truth at last when he chickens out last minute and latches on to the only thing he thinks a girl wants to hear..."Will You Marry Me?! Sarah is relieved and delighted, accepting his marriage proposal instantly, although it appears as if Craig does not want to marry Sarah and only proposed because he doesn't want anyone to find out about his relationship with John-Paul McQueen.
Craig asked Sarah to keep the truth of their engagement a secret. In the meantime he continued his relationship with John-Paul, without telling him about his proposal. John-Paul became increasingly frustrated about Craig's refusal to choose him over Sarah. The final straw came when Sarah told Frankie about the engagement, without telling him. Craig was initally upset, mainly because he had not told the truth to John-Paul. When John-Paul arrived at a party thrown by Frankie and discovered the truth, he dragged Craig upstairs and demanded he choose: him or Sarah? In response, Craig began to kiss John-Paul passionately. Still not convinced about Craig's commitment, John-Paul texted Sarah on Craig's phone and asked Sarah to come upstairs. She read the text and came upstairs and walked in on Craig and John-Paul kissing, leaving Sarah horrified and Craig speechless.
Craig immediately attempted to convince Sarah that it was a misunderstanding. That he hadn't being kissing John-Paul. Sarah didn't believe him. Despite his attempts to stop her, Sarah went downstairs to the Dog and outed he to the stunned onlookers. Craig tried to convince Sarah, and his family that he wasn't gay. While the rest of the Dean family turned on John-Paul, Craig desperately tried to apologize to Sarah. Sarah demanded to know why Craig would propose to her when he was sleeping with John-Paul. When Craig broke down and didn't answer her, Sarah lashed out and began to hit him. When Sarah left in her fathers arms, Craig tried to explain to his family, but was faced with a disgusted Jake and a disbelieving Frankie. Frankie demanded that Craig go to Sarah and explain, get her to forgive him and go to Dublin. Instead Craig stormed out to confront John-Paul, who was still outside. Craig was furious, demanded to know why he done it and implied in a fit of rage that John Paul was just his little secret and nothing more, not meaning it. But the tables were turned when John-Paul responded he was sorry he sent the text but had no sympathy for Craig, calling him a coward for not accepting his sexuality or responsibility for anything. This seemed to hit home for Craig at last.
The next morning, Craig faced his family and friends again with both Jake and Nancy both angry at him. Later when Craig overhears Jake calling him a queer he corrects, says its called gay. He then leaves to see Sarah. John Paul calls him just as he leaves and Craig answers, but John Paul appears too upset to speak and hangs up before syaing anything, much to Craig's anguish. When he gets to Sarah's Nancy attempts to stop him from seeing her, but Sarah asks him to come in, having already admitted to Nancy that she still loved Craig. He apologises again for what has happened. Sarah demands to know why how he couldn't tell her. Craig, very determined, tells her he doesn't blame he for hating him, and is shocked when she says that she still loves him. Believing Craig is going through a faze, she says they can leave it all behind and make a fresh start in Dublin. Craig responds by saying what he done was stupid and unforegiveable. He says he still loves Sarah and meant everything he ever said, but that he really loves John-Paul and that he wants to be with him, saying he at least owes it to her to say it to her himself. Sarah is devastated, and tries begging him but his resolve his firm - he wants John Paul. Craig then goes to see John-Paul, however Nancy had maliciously and incorrectly told John Paul that Craig was at Sarah's begging her to take him back and that John Paul should stay away from him. John Paul was devastated by this, thinking wrongly that Craig had let him down again. Craig knocks on the McQueens door desperate to talk to John Paul, but despite his pleas, John-Paul wont talk to him. Craig returned home dejected. Seeing he was visibly upset Frankie asked what was wrong to which him replied 'its over mum' and starts to cry. Frankie assumed he was talking about Sarah and tries to tell him she'll come round. But Craig is actually upset at John Paul's rejection and completely breaks down, unable to tell Frankie what has happened.
The next day Jake is taunting Craig and telling him he is disgusting whilst Frankie is pressuring Craig to get Sarah back. Craig finally shouts in frustration that he doesnt want Sarah, to his brothers disgust. As Steph walks in on the confrontation oblivious to what has happened, Frankie insists that Craig loves Sarah. Finally pushed too far he shouts at his mother that he loves John Paul, not Sarah! Later, Craig was walks with his family in the village when they run into the McQueens. While the Deans and the McQueens face off, OK Corral style and set to bicker amonst themselves, Craig and John Paul have just gazed silently and longingly at each other ignoring their families, eventually running off together alone, only noticed by Michaela. The two talk and John Paul is shocked when Craig tells him honestly that he wants him and not Sarah and that he loves him and doesnt care who knows it. The two support each other when they reveal their relationship to their families. Craig was insistent and brave in the face of both families questions, saying that it wasnt about being gay, just about who you fall in love with and telling Frankie it didnt matter if he went away, he would still love John Paul. But he was hurt when only Steph supported him saying it was all dead romantic. John Paul tried to reassure him that all families act that way. But although he loves John Paul, Craig is still unsure about himself and his families reaction. When the two were out together, Craig's insecurities imagined everyone was laughing at him and ran off. He then asked John Paul to leave with him and come to Dublin and start a new life together, both of them completely happy that they will run off together and be with each other.
Departure
At the airport however, an encounter with Craig's brother was to turn the relationship sour. Craig tried to convince his brother that he still liked girls, though he fell in love with John Paul by coincidence as he cannot help who he loves. John Paul, who overheard the exchange, soon taunted Craig whilst in the line to board the aircraft. Craig could not bring himself to kiss or hold John Paul in public, much to John Paul's distress. Upset, John Paul felt that he had forced Craig to choose him, little knowing that Craig had twice rejected Sarah's offers of a reconciliation. John Paul said that he loved Craig with all his heart, but he deserved more than being with a man who could not even display mere affection towards him in public, temporarily ending their relationship; Craig, in grief, said to John Paul: "Don't leave me" but John Paul appeared not to hear him.
Craig began to leave for his flight, but turned back, running down the escalator to try to find John Paul and convince John Paul he wanted to be with him. Unfortunately for Craig, John Paul had already left. Craig boarded the plane in tears, but resolute. However there is a possibility that he will return for John-Paul in the future, and that some time apart will bring them back together, as they clearly love each other very much and neither is happy at the state they've left things.[1]
