Various Dates = We normally put a date, when a certain event has occurred, in brackets after we talk about it, this is essentially to give strength to what we are saying and lets you, the reader, check it out if you dare to doubt us, although we are a fun site we do try where we can to be truthful and factual. When we use "Various dates" instead it's normally when we say something that even the basic JP fan would not have a problem with and thus doesn't need to be checked i.e. "JP works as a part time DJ in the Loft"

Chester
Chester is the fictional suburb where Hollyoaks is set. Chester is a real place, Hollyoaks is not. It's the place where everything JP related pretty much takes place.

D
(The) Dog (in the pond) 
The Dog as it's normally referred to, is home to the Dean's and Osbournes, it also features heavily during the JP and Craig era. On September 8th 2006, The Dog was caught in an explosion and the bar was destroyed in the fire. Several months later, The Dog has since been re-built and re-opened with a new look. Memorable scenes; The re opening of The Dog (November 10th, 2006), Craig hits JP when he thinks he is after Sarah (December 27th, 2006), JP makes it up to Hannah with a fun day as a couple, Hannah falls into the lake outside the Dog and they go back to hers and have sex again (January 24th, 2007). 
JP and Craig change into their Dance off Ball suits after a macho game of Pool (5th of February), the first time we clap eyes on Spike (Tom Vaughan) (March 25th, 2007), JP and Spikes First date (April 9th, 2007), The DJ competition, where Spike and JP share their first kiss, then make out so everyone else see's (April 13th, 2007). JP and Craig make plans to dump Spike and Sarah and be together honestly (June 27th, 2007), JP is desperate to get a letter back from Frankie when he writes how he 
has been sleeping with Craig (July 23rd, 2007). The Classic Romeo and Juliet Scene outside Craig's bedroom window (August 10th, 2007), the last we ever see of Spike (August 16th, 2007). The engagement party and when Sarah (and everyone else in the village) finds out about JP and Craig (September 6th, 2007). Myra and Frankie talk about their sons being together (September 18th, 2007). JP get's a Christmas text from Craig while he and his family are enjoying a Christmas eve drink (December 24th, 2007). JP is introduced to Robin here (January 22nd, 2008). After Kieron and JP sleep together for the first time Kieron retreats here for solace and to confess to Kris about what he has just done (April 1st, 2008), Kieron talks things through over a bottle of white wine.
DRIVE "n" BUY
Local convenience store that sells everything as long 
as it is in stock. Most popular brand being "Banana Bongo" flakes. The shop is family owned, and until mid-2006 was owned by Max Cunningham who inherited it from his late father. Max sold to Neville Ashworth and his family, Neville invested in the shop with his family, who he hoped would take turns working there. JP can be seen shyly looking and eventually buying a gay magazine (May 8th, 2007) in the hopes it will prepare him for sex with Spike, Jake Dean also confronts JP shortly after Craig leaves for Dublin claiming his feelings were just a phase and Craig has already moved on (September 27th, 2007). On a dare JP goes into the shop and buys a four pack of beer, with only his boxers and fake tan for company (February 22nd, 2008).
Dublin
Dublin is mentioned often during the JP and Craig era essentially because of the University of Dublin AKA Trinity College .It's where Craig wants to end up after completing his A-Levels (This is mentioned constantly over the year), it's where he and Sarah plan to get a flat, and it also becomes the retreat for Craig and JP when their affair is exposed and they decide to start a new life somewhere fresh (September 14th, 2007). It's also the destination Craig heads to when he and JP part ways (September 20th, 2007). Craig gives JP an open invitation to come up and see him in the new year (December 25th, 2007).
E
Evissa
Carmel McQueen, Frankie Dean and Niall Rafferty work here, its a beauty salon and has very little to do with JP, although conversations have taken place here regarding JP and Craig (various dates).
F
Flat (The DOG)
Flat (Student)
The student flat is where JP lived for five weeks at the start of the 2007 September term. He shared the flat with the other students; Elliot Bevan, Zoe Carpenter, Kris Fisher, Jessica Harris and Zak Ramsey. When Elliot returned back home nd reclaimed his room, JP had no choice but to return home, but not before a flatwarming party where he and the rest of the party guests were almost killed.
Today JP is still friends with most of the flatmate's and regularly sleeps over when they have a night out (various).
G
H
Hannah's House (Ashworths)
HCC (Hollyoaks Community College )
HCC is the local college/university, it houses the student halls of residence, as well as the flat JP once lived.
Hospital
The local hospital, thankfully, is not a regular haunt for any of the McQueen's, although between them they clock up a fair amount of NHS man hours. (October 12th, 2007) JP is here recovering from carbon Monoxide poisoning, and checking on Katy. Again the McQueen's are forced to the hospital when Michaela overdoses on heroin (February 1st, 2008), and everyone assumes she is a smack head. JP goes with Nancy to see baby Charlie when he finds her shacked up in Washed Up crying about not being able to see him, and persuades her to not give up and fight Jake (March 11th, 2008).
I
Il Gnosh
Latest incarnation of the local cafe, currently pitching itself at the cosmopolitan Europhile rather than denizens of the greasy spoon. Formerly Gnosh Village (pronounced vil-arzh). Sometimes informally called just Gnosh, Tony (and perhaps one day Jacqui) own it. The gang regularly hang out here for a cup of coffee or the odd lunchtime treat (various dates), JP and Spike also have their first date here (April 10th, 2007). JP works here when Tony is short staffed, mainly because Jacqui bullies him into it (March 10th, 2008).
J
John Paul's Room
JP's room is designed to reflect his changing attitudes, personality and age. It alters it's appearance frequently with only the bed and musical themes remaining consistent. It was designed to reflect a typical teenage boy's room i.e. cluttered and had a more youthful feel to it, this notion is still present even today, a mix of his age and possible McQueen laziness.
A 
series of LP's flipped over and stuck to his wall in different arrangements make an effective and unique statement about his love of music, they, like the "Mighty Red's" banner, move around the room regularly and are frequently seen in scenes which take place in the bedroom (various dates). Before JP came out the room was very "straight" Give way road sign logos and simple relevant posters were present but on the whole the room was pretty empty although cluttered with DVD's there was no focus.
Clearly this was done on purpose by the writers, probably to suggest that being gay was part of JP's personality which was suppressed and by him coming out and being truthful to everyone he was able to express himself in new ways as well as old, and mix the styles flawlessly and without issue. In later weeks the room changed from simple to interesting, with different elements merging, i.e. ladish pictures of liverpool football players and then more erotic material with males in stylish shots (March 10th, 2007) Hannah notices as does Craig when he comes around and is confronted by a brand new Brokeback Mountain poster on his wall (March 13th, 2007). None of the other McQueen's make reference of JP's redesigns other than Mercy who has supposedly "borrowed" JP's magazines from under his bed (December 26th, 2007) and Michaela who plots a takeover when JP moves in to halls (November 9th, 2007).
The room although coated with an innocent feel, its seen a lot of mature sexual action. JP and Hannah lose their virginity on his bed (December 19th, 2006), JP and Spike have sex for the first time (May 9th, 2007), and Craig regularly goes around to be with JP (various dates), JP almost has sex with Jay (October 3rd, 2007) but is stopped when he finds Tina and Dom doing it in his bed instead.
At the start of 2008 JP's room gets suddenly tidy and sports a mini redesign, the desk, decks and bed stay put but we get to see in more detail a small hidey hole where JP stores his punch bag and cosmetics (January 9th, 2008) as well as the clutter feel of posters and randomly spread out belongings becoming more organised. The other side of the room next to the window has a set of shelves which are full with neatly stacked folders, likely containing uni work and possible A-Level notes as well as several trophies.
Father Kieron stays in JP's room for several weeks when he moves in (various), while JP moves into his sisters room. JP and Kieron have a huge fight when he pushes him to reveal to Myra he is gay, Kieron refuses and angrily shouts that JP has no idea what his life is like and needs to leave the issue alone, JP agrees to let it drop and the pair make up (January 29th, 2008). JP and Kieron have sex here for the first time, when the pair are snoozing, Kieron leaves (April 1st, 2008).
K
L
(The) Loft
The 
Loft is the local club, frequently changing hands but now owned and managed by Warren Fox. For the most part JP doesn't often spend time here socially, generally because he hasn't long been 18. There are some noticeable exceptions, on the 6th of October 2006, JP and Sonny faced off in a DJ style competition to see who would win the prestigious role of in house DJ, JP won hands down. A few months later JP and Craig have a night out (January 10th, 2007) in the Loft, which results in JP almost telling Craig how he is starting to feel out his friend, a drunk Craig misses the subtle undertones completely and is saved by JP when Sonny and Justin decide to pick a fight.
Although JP might not hang out here for fun, he does have a fairly regular source of income from working here as a DJ (various dates).
M
McQueen's
The McQueen's live at 26 Leigh Road, 
being home base for JP there are frequent and regular events, not least because of (perhaps) the most important room; JP's Bedroom (His room scenes etc are explored in that entry), nonetheless the rest of the house has equal important with a huge variety of interactions with members of his family (various dates), some of the key dates and events; Hannah comes to meet the family after she and JP sleep together (December 20th, 2006), JP comes out to Myra while the sit around the kitchen table (February 8th, 2007), the special hollyoaks at night episode heavily features the McQueen house (February 19th, 2007), the gang revise and talk about JP's new found sex life, much to Craig's annoyance (May 8th, 2007).
On the 16th of May, Craig goes 
around and a hugely emotional scene in the kitchen develops, before Craig kisses JP and they go upstairs to make love, JP and Craig can be a couple in private (July 31st, 2007) and even play indoor Bunny Cricket throughout the entire ground floor (August 10th, 2007). The McQueen's throw Niall a birthday party where he secretly invites gatecrashers and takes the opportunity to give his half sister an overdose (January 31st, 2008).
In the kitchen on the 2nd of April 2008, JP tells Kieron their relationship isn't worth the problems it will cause, admitting he does not love him like he did Craig, Kieron is devastated and later moves out of the McQueen's.
M.O.B.S.
The 
non-alcoholic juice bar run by Max Cunningham and Sam "O.B." O'Brien. It was formerly the Octagon which Tony Hutchinson had owned as part of Il Gnosh, until the two had bought it off him calling it M.O.B.S by mixing their names together, it attracts a lot of health conscious customers, including students, JP no exception. He is sitting outside recounting the horrors of living with the other students in the flat to Katy Fox just before they decide they have been a bit cold to JP and throw him a housewarming party (October 9th, 2007), JP is also enjoying a smoothie when Elliot decides they need to do more radio hijacking and persuades JP to help him out again (January 10th, 2008).

Skegness
Skegness is a real place on the east coast of England, because it was one of the first holiday resorts in the UK, it's name today is often used as a joke when talking about people planning their summer holidays. Essentially for any young uns its totally unfashionable, and for older generations its a mecca for "the good times", Kieron goes here on some church work at the start of March, and kindly sends JP back a postcard (March 5th, 2008).
St Charles Church
St Charles Church is almost certainly the church where all the McQueen weddings have taken place (Various) it's Myra's local church and where Father Kieron is based.
Church goers have declined over the years... (more sociological thoughts in JPDb's) and Myra and Kieron agree to hand out flyers promoting the Church (January 28th, 2008), the leaflet sounds more like a threat than an invitation "Don't Risk Hell", but with the soap's multiple controversial storylines its likely deliberate.
JP confesses his sins to Kieron in an attempt to win him back (May 8th, 2008).
SU Bar
The Student Union bar is the more glam alternative to The Dog, its brighter and has a more modern and student feel.

Washed Up
Washed up is owned by the Barnes' and is the villages one and only laundrette, the McQueen's have their own washing machine but it doesn't stop them going there from time to time. JP and Craig are on their way he to do some washing shortly after their affair is revealed (September 14th, 2007), JP finds Nancy on one of the seats crying over Charlie, he comforts her and the pair tentatively make up (March 11th, 2008).
