Craig Dean. I love Craig Dean. Why? Because he is just that amazing. He's complex. Yes, he's an ass a lot of the time. But that's kind of why I love him. I love getting into the heads of complicated characters

I was linked here from a post from someone on fandomsecrets and can I just say THIS IS BRILLIANT.
It's so many things I think too, and so well worded in how the story is different and separate from anything Hollyoaks has done before or since and just. OMG. *loves*
I mean, talking about John Paul vs Sarah as normal and not normal, all those things being taken away when it all comes out, about Spike being the catalyst for Craig doing something (I've talked before about John Paul's importance to Craig, and once Craig gets over it, it's fine, he doesn't mind being fancied by a bloke, but then someone else comes in, someone who might take JP away from him, and oh look, I WANT YOU.), about Craig trying to show how much he loves John Paul by saying he didn't want anything to do with going out with Sarah anymore, when in fact that was something he should have talked about.
And about Craig coming back, and being able to be that person John Paul wanted, being able to say "you weren't my only choice, but you were my only answer", if you like, and everything.
I'm SO SORRY that I missed this! Apparently LJ stopped sending me comment notifications for this post for FUN. I didn't see the comments until I came to edit it.
(FYI - I edited in the other *cough*1500*cough* words of meta that I added to this on re-watch, if you wanted to re-read it)
And thank you! I'm so SO glad that you liked this. :D Mainly it was me rambling the stuff in my head and it's great to see that other people have that stuff swimming around in their heads too.

That's one reason it was so good. I'm only just beginning to see exactly what went on in the SE apart from the "OMG, you guys should kiss and then be together for ever!" stuff (and by that I mean the way I was blind to a lot of subtle stuff just cos I was so gleeful that Craig was on my screen again).
And to answer the other part of that sentence, about having things swimming in your head? IT NEVER GOES AWAY. I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE JUNE 2008. SRSLY.
(also, my Craig-Love is always soooo massive everytime I love him. I LOVE HIM SO HARD.)
