In
early 2008, Myra McQueen
offers her home to the
Hollyoaks new young
Catholic Priest,
Father Kieron Hobbs, and
gives John
Paul's room to him without consultation.
John Paul
meets Robin. Once it has
been revealed that Robin is also gay, and
John Paul has built up the courage to ask him out, they
decide to go on a date together. During the date Kieron sees Robin and John Paul kissing in the toilets at the SU bar.
Later, John Paul asks him to keep quiet and not tell Myra,
which he agrees to, but she later finds out when Robin
starts arguing with Kieron about his relationship with
John Paul.
Myra confronts John Paul, and John Paul erroneously blames Kieron. When Kieron voices his
is concerns that Robin is flirting with other men behind John Paul's back, John Paul takes this to mean that Kieron is homophobe. After John Paul finds Robin flirting with other men, he goes home and tells Kieron about it. He says that
Kieron would never understand how he feels, leading Kieron to come clean and admit to John Paul that he is gay, too.
John Paul insists Kieron tell Myra the truth or he will, which Kieron flatly refuses on the basis of it potentially damaging his reputation as a
priest. He accuses John Paul of being self-involved, saying that John Paul is a teenage boy who had his own issues. Kieron has made his
own choice. Kieron defends his beliefs and informs John Paul of his celibacy. As Kieron prepares to move out, John Paul apologises and convinces him to stay with them.
During the SU Bar's Charity Fashion Show, some of the male models
call in sick, and Carmel convinces Kieron to model, which he agrees to under the condition that John Paul models as well. But unknown to all, a gun siege is
taking place at the Dog in the Pond. When the village finds out, the fashion show is cancelled, leaving John Paul and
Kieron to clean up. They reward themselves by helping themselves to some beer they found, and as the beer flows, they start to enjoy each other's company more. Drunk, Kieron admits
to finding John Paul smart and funny, leading them to share an unexpected kiss, only to be interrupted by a student entering the bar,
leaving both men embarrassed.
The kiss, however, does not undermine their growing friendship. The day after, they stay at home and play truth or dare, resulting in John Paul going to buy bottles of beer in just his underwear at Drive N Buy.
In March 2008, John Paul attempts to establish an LGBT society at Hollyoaks College and in a bet, kisses the
nearest boy, who ends up stalking John Paul until he lies to get rid of him. During this time, John Paul also texts
Kieron to ask him when he is coming back. Kris and Hannah are intrigued by John Paul's new love interest, and joked
about it in front of Kieron; Hannah later tells him that John Paul had spoken highly of him.
Thinking that John Paul is telling everyone about their relationship, he asks him not to mention him to his friends again.
John Paul confronts Kieron with his feelings on the matter, and unexpectedly, Kieron expresses his deep feelings to
John Paul; in turn, John Paul says that he is frustrated and asks Kieron to go find someone else, but
Kieron refuses to acknowledge John Paul's rejection and John Paul walks off, confused.
In late March 2008, Kieron and John Paul, along with Russ, Dom and Kris,
participate in the village fun run. After they
complete the run they go to the bar for a drink. John Paul leaves for home after being frustrated about the lack of attention Kieron is giving him. Later on, Kieron returns home. This follows with a heated discussion between the two,
which ends in a passionate kiss.
