When Nancy and George argue about it, John Paul remained silent and chose not to get involved in the spat between his lover and best friend.
John Paul tries to make George feel better with some drinks, but the copper was simmering with rage that his boyfriend didn’t stand up for him in front on Nancy.
George got increasingly angry and when John Paul was forced to push him away, seeing the police officer punch him.

John Paul rushed to the murder scene to find out what had happened, and spotted that PC Kiss’ badge was next to the body bag.
Little did he know that George had placed the badge there deliberately, and was gleefully watching his boyfriend break down safely from the overhead bridge.
It was only after John Paul thoroughly believed PC Kiss was dead that George arrived to explain that nothing was wrong.
Also, George only agreed to help the McQueens with heir blackmailing horror if John Paul promised to never speak to ex-boyfriend James Nightingale again.
Hollyoaks spoilers have revealed that things will get even worse for the couple in upcoming scenes as John Paul’s ex Dean arrives in the village.
PC Kiss has previously been shown taunting his former partner over their break-up, after Dean accused him of wrecking his life with his controlling behaviour.
Will Dean and John Paul team up to take down PC George Kiss once and for all?
