JP warned about George…
DEAN TRIES TO WARN JOHN PAUL ABOUT HIS BOYFRIEND…
George’s ex Dean rocks up in the village again this week – but can he make John Paul see that his boyfriend is a violent bully?
Viewers are slowly starting to see George’s true colours, and now realise that the hot cop isn’t quite the catch John Paul believes he is. But as the pair return home from a romantic break, is JP about to have his eyes opened to his boyfriend’s true nature?
“John Paul is very loved-up, he doesn’t understand he’s being abused and manipulated,” explains James Sutton, who plays him. “He thinks all is great between him and George. John Paul’s in too deep – we’re exploring the nuances of falling in love with someone who is very bad for you.”
