I do think the pressure JP put on him at the start was slightly unfair. I'll admit that. But if anything, to me that just proves they were never right for each other. Something I've said right from the start. They never seem to be on the same page. One of them is constantly having doubts and then something happens where you think "OK.... Give them a chance here, maybe it could work" and something happens again. It's so annoying.

Plus, when the hell did Kieron become so pushy and annoying? I'm sure the writers have just done that because of what's coming up. Granted, I'm not a Kieron fan, but taking him out of his original character - That WAS bearable - is ridiculous. Now all he does is whines and pushes and all that. I still haven't forgiven him for pushing his nose into Myra's disapproval of the engagement. Yes, he was just trying to help, but if he knew JP or his family at all, he'd know the McQueens are stubborn and do things at their own pace.

Even taking Caig out of the equation, the whole relationship just seems so forced and uncomfortable. I still resolve they should have allowed us to get to know Kieron as an individual character before rushing them into this like they did. I feel sorry for Jake Hendriks, because he himself admitted he didn't like how quickly kIeron gave up his beliefs.

Plus, if JP is the kind of guy to "do this to him", I'd say if anything that means he and Craig deserve each other. And not in a sweet, lovey dovey way!

Here is what I think. JPK are a good couple but they dont mix well together in all sense of the word. John Paul fell for Kieron and the writers did that quite well making them fall for each other but the one thing that annoys me is how quickly Kieron gave up on the Church. The Church was supposed to be the one good stable thing in his life, I would have liked to see more of it.

Now onto Craig's return. They couldnt have done it better. So damn cute the hug

I love JP and Craig and I'm delighted they're reuniting, but I wish the writers hadn't dragged Kieron into the mix and then completely destroyed his character, and then, well we all know what happens to him next. It just sucks that JP and Craig can't have a guilt-free reunion. I'd prefer if Kieron stuck around instead of all three characters being written out. I also hate what they're doing with JP, him having a change of heart about the wedding, when he was the one who proposed!!! And of course Kieron is made to look bad by being excited about getting married. I'm seeing serious shades of Martha, Jack and Sam here(Kieron being Sam), and I don't like it one bit, because JP and Craig are actually a couple I love, but I think the writers are ruining them by what JP is doing to Kieron.

I agree with every single word.

Kieron is a decent character when you take him away from the relationship with JP. He was such a breath of fresh air when he first arrived and now he's so annoying and clingy. It's really sad and both character and acotr deserve more.

I hate them

Killing him off

because it really IS going to cast a horrible shadow over SE and there is NO need. Especially when Kieron has HUGE potential as an individual after they leave.

Exactly. JP and Craig are perfect together, they have tons of chemistry, spark and just click. Kieron, I actually got to like towards the end, but I never liked his coupling with JP. It just didn't work. Making Kieron leave the church so quickly and easily and without much regret was a wrong move by the writers. Even worse was killing him off, like they did. All of this just resulted in changing JP in to a selfish person, which is someone he never was, and also casting a shadow over the whole SE that we were all routing for.

They really didn't need to add the extra drama. We all would have cheered and been delighted when JP and Craig reunited, and Kieron could have stayed on in the village as a character in his own right.

Hey guys who do we think will die in the explosion next week??We know it will be one of the sisters.Im thinking it will most likely be

Tina

[freakybuffy]

I think that person will be one of them, but I've read that more than one McQueen dies. So I'm thinking

it's Tina and Niall fakes his own death which leads to the LNS with Craig and Steph

But thats just an idea.

[xGlowingAngelx]

Tina definately dies, but the others sisters are all features in next years calendar (Which is already on sale, I believe) so they can't be leaving. 95% confident JP isn't going to be killed off. I can't see them killing Myra off either, because we're obviously wanting to see the fall out from it. So I think it'll only be Niall and Tina. The reason the spoilers produced said we'd lose "More than one member of the McQueen clan" could be because we have the sister that's being killed off, as well as JP eventually returning to Dublin.

The "losing more than one member" also doesn't even suggest that those members are going to be KILLED off. So I'm thinking like Jenny..... that Niall fakes his own death and them returns in "Andy Holt like style" during the LNS (Which he also doesn't die in, because he's also in next years hunks calendar. Intruiged to see how that works).

Either way, it's very exciting. The actors involved are all really amazing when pushed to the limits and I do think we're in for a treat with the episodes. Can't wait :D

[Zetti]

Tina will die methinks leaving Jacqui free to have Max although I would prefer it if Russ had him not Jacqui as Jacqui doesnt deserve kids the way she treats people. Its like they are toys or puppets to her and I cant stand it.

[Slade]

I haven’t checked the spoilers but if it’s going to be one of the sisters I’m hoping it will be Michaela. She is so irritating. Also Jacqui and Mercedes (especially) are more appealing to the eye and I like Carmel. I don’t think I would be fussed either way if it’s Tina.
