Wow Ste's face when Cheryl said 'you know Brendan too off yesterday' He's clearly still in love with guy even after he almost broke his nose #Stendan rewatch
God, what a brave front Ste's putting up... Throwing himself into this marriage all the while burying his hurt feelings about Brendan. Kieron just completely nails it.
Poor Ste, the situation with Ross is truly heart-breaking for him because he loves that little girl, thank fuck they dropped the story line. Although not to worry, Brendan probably would have come back and buried Ross somewhere.
I talk shut about Ste, but I love him, because he is loyal, loving, and he sees the good in you when no one else will. He will try to kick your ass if you step out of line, even though he can't! And he doesn't give a shit who you are! He's got heart!
Brendan's next appearance will be next Tuesday, but he'll still be in Dublin. They filmed a bunch of stuff there, which I can't speak of without posting spoilers, but it will be worth the wait ;)
I love when British Actors do US Accents. It's kind of a hommage to Dagwood Bumstead in The Comic Strip Blondie. I would have been on the floor laughing if I was on the set.
@itsonlyyouable - thank you so much for that. i thought my day was going to be terrible when i saw that there was no new brendan and ste. i stopped sobbing into my coffee when i saw your comment and watched the channel. now i am counting the hours :)
yea, i think shes always seen only brendan side of his love for ste and not the other way around so i think she did that to see the depths for herself.
@churst yep, that's the scene I was referring to, and yes Cheryl saw right through that mask Ste was putting up right down to his real feelings for Brendan. I think that's why she told him Brendan had left...she wanted to see his reaction. He tried to hide his pain well, but all the viewers saw it...so sad. And yes, I hope she tells him. God, I hope so.
@greymushroom1 and maybe by trying to gage the depths of Ste's feelings for Brendan will be what makes her decide to tell Ste, if she decides to. I hope she does tell him, cause I hope Ste gets to realize just how much Brendan loves him.
@greymushroom1 you sure can see it on her face. I wondered too if she was trying to find out the depths of Ste's feelings for Brendan too...I mean maybe she wanted to see if he still had feelings for him and to what depths.
I did not see this one coming! How can Ste move to America with the kids? Clearly the writers are not taking into account immigration laws... Not to mention the fact that gay marriage is not recognized on federal level.
I read an interview where James Sutton said he wanted to come back.The producers asked the actor who played Craig if he was interested he said no and the producers didn't want to recast.
It always bothered me that Leah's bio dad popped up for a day, wanted to see her, and then vanish again without even checking in to see if Leah was happy, healthy, and safe. I mean I know the actor got cast in Emmerdale, but they could always have cast someone else down the line. Though Ste will always be Leah's real dad, he's taken care of her since she was little. He's the only father she's ever known and he's all she has now that Amy has died. It just annoys me when stories are there to blink and you miss them stories, like at least see it through.
We can only hope the Supremes can surprise us. Frankly I want Ste arrested for stupidity, Doug-just for being Doug, and Cheryl for keeping her mouth closed except for eating....
@44Michellef It is funny how every once in a while when I get fed up with one of these characters and want to say what needs saying, but choose to be politically correct, you say it for me. You have done it again. Thank you.
Ste is not thinking clearly at all. He just found out Brendan left and before he can get over that, here comes Leah's biological father talking about wanting to be in her life and threatening to take her from Ste. He knows he can't flee the country with her even if he is truly Leah's father in every way that counts. Doug's plan is like a kid saying let me put this blanket over me and people won't be able to find me. Ste's world is so upside down right now, poor baby1
The only laws that would come into play are the British laws. Doug has no dog in the race, because Leah isn't his, NOR is she Ste's biological child or legally adopted child. If they came to America with her, the port authorities would stop them before they ever left the international terminal of the airport and arrest Doug and Ste (if the 'father's' solicitors contacted the US govt) and charge them with kidnapping, custodial interference.
American here too. No disagreement here. Federal law generally trumps State but there are a lot of things here. I'm not really sure any of this would go to Federal court but I have not judgement call either way. Here in USA, If Ste never adopted Lea then only Amy has legal say. If the birth father petitions against the man who may have raised her all her life, then the courts Usually side with the birth parents, unless you can prove they are unfit. I've seen it get Ugly! A judge would decide.
Back when Amy wanted to move to New York and Ste was going to go with them, didn't they say something about how Ste couldn't get a visa because of his criminal history? Also, Ste has no legal rights to Leah so... WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!
Don't you notice that on alot of Shows there's someone whose with a "New" person and no matter how terrific they are they're not the "One". On Degrassi it was Marco Del Rossi with his New Boyfriend Tim although he still wanted his Ex-Boyfriend Dylan Mikchalchuk back. On The US Webseries Venice, Ani A Photographer is with Lara but she still wants Gina back. Then on Emmerdale, Aaron is with Ryan but it's Robert he "wants".
Love the (in)convenient timing of this Billy guy's re-emergence on the show. Go away, dead beat dad :/ Also LOL Ste and Doug have no concept of reality do they?
But if DOMA was upheld, wouldn't Ste still not be considered a spouse by the Federal Govt. and sent back ? DOMA is so unfair. And someone said because of Ste's criminal record he wouldn't be allowed in anyway But I guess the writers don't research and should be the ones arrested, LOL.
hollyoaks is getting more interesting,brendan must come back.episodes will be more interesting every time is on .he is a tough guy but good hearted, and loves ste. ste is nothing without him
Ok, I get that the actress who played Amy is no longer on the show, but why are they dealing with a custody storyline when Amy can't get involved cause she's no longer on the show. It just seems weird considering the fact that the mother of Leah should have the most say. I feel this new custody storyline is a bit odd. Maybe Amy will come back and make a cameo. That would be awesome. I always loved her.
I know Ste loves Brendan...but the thought of losing is little girl, that's gotta really hurt. And I know Leah's not his biologically, but he's always been her dad. And as far as Amy being the mom, SURE she is. But Ste and Doug moving to America doesn't change that.
Ste would have no rights in NY or any other state because State Gay Marriage is nor recognized by the Federal Govt. He'd be back on his way to the UK, and probably arrested somewhere for kidnapping.State Gay Marriages are denied over 1,000 benefits because DOMA prevents Federal recognition of them.
Though I am American, doesn't depend on if Amy got custody of the children? If Amy has full custody of Leah, then Billy has no rights. Also, if ste has legally adopted Leah, then he has the right to take her out of the country.
Duh? Duh? WTF, the Fn F ? They were planning on taking the kids? And Amy doesn't even know? Taking Leah without her parents consent,isn't that kidnapping? The only good part was Ste referring to Doug as "All the Man I've got right here." LOL ! & Ste saying he was certain about the move now (because B hit him& left)- Doug saying stealing Amy's kids is a great Christmas? & them both smiling? OK- How can I call HO police 2 arrest them at the Airport? Did I miss the part about them taking the kids ?
I'm American. If and that is a big IF they ever were able to get Leah on a plane for the states the American government would step in the moment that plane landed.
@MsTvaddict1 it's not completely stupid how else would they have Ste stay in the village. Custody battle protective instinct BB comes back with JP in tow DRAMA. The wife swap then the reunion. Just think of all the interesting nuances that will follow. Kidding about the wife swap but with HO you never k ow this could be a good thing.
Since ste and Doug are married legally ste can come and live in USA, if they live in a state that recognizes their marriage. Goes along the same lines of an illegal person getting married to a citizen, legally they can stay.
Everyone remembers. A lot of comments before yours mentioning the same thing. You would have read through a lot of comments but it is there many times though not in all of them. Writers frequently change their minds about some laws for storytelling. May be sloppy but not unusual, especially on a Soap which has to turn out so damn many scripts in a year's time. ... Must be a bitch keeping scripts coming and production ready.
Now if Billy gave up paternal rights to Leah, and Any has full custody of Leah, then Steven can take her anywhere he wants to, because he is recognized as her dad! But if not, she can't leave the County! Also Doug is a manipulative son of a bitch! Ste I know your hurt about what happened with Brendan, but stop
I don't think Ste is stupid- just made 2 look stupid & manipulated by Doug with regard 2 leaving the country with the kids (esp. Leah-since he's not the Father). You don't have 2 be a rocket scientist to know you can't just take someone elses' child out of the country without their Parents consent. It's just the bad writing they have on this show. Does Amy even know or discussed with Ste about taking the kids away ?
Ste could always go to America. The first time with Amy and Lee he used his criminal record as an excuse not for them to go because he didn't want to be away from Leah and Lucas. Then he took them to Florida but now SPOILER ALERT at the airport Doug will give him a ticket to Ireland saying he can't be second best. Ste will get on a plane to Dublin and find Brendan and John Paul together in bed!
Just turn the taxi around with Brendan in it. Let him find out what is going on and that guy will never be seen or heard from ever again...Then we can move on to a real story line and not this piddily stuff filling time!
Brendan, Where are you? please come back..i miss you. There's really something different about Stedan compare to Stoug.. I hate it, not seeing Brendan in the Episode..
... but he does in New York state. Same sex marriage legal in New York. If the matter somehow got pushed into State then Federal Supreme Court, I wouldn't be able to guess.
Wow Ste's face when Cheryl said 'you know Brendan too off yesterday' He's clearly still in love with guy even after he almost broke his nose
#Stendan rewatch
God, what a brave front Ste's putting up... Throwing himself into this marriage all the while burying his hurt feelings about Brendan. Kieron just completely nails it.
thanks for the continuing series. I look forward to it every day. Ste and Doug are my favorites.
I agree, its like she wanted to see his reaction. you can see it on her face.
Poor Ste, the situation with Ross is truly heart-breaking for him because he loves that little girl, thank fuck they dropped the story line. Although not to worry, Brendan probably would have come back and buried Ross somewhere.
I talk shut about Ste, but I love him, because he is loyal, loving, and he sees the good in you when no one else will. He will try to kick your ass if you step out of line, even though he can't! And he doesn't give a shit who you are! He's got heart!
This is so not fair. Ste is Leah's dad. End of.
I love Ste and Doug together, but Ste belongs with his true love Brendan.
Is that Ross from Emmerdale? I didn't know he was on Hollyoaks
Thank you!
Brendan's next appearance will be next Tuesday, but he'll still be in Dublin. They filmed a bunch of stuff there, which I can't speak of without posting spoilers, but it will be worth the wait ;)
I love when British Actors do US Accents. It's kind of a hommage to Dagwood Bumstead in The Comic Strip Blondie. I would have been on the floor laughing if I was on the set.
ross barton in hollyoaks lol
@itsonlyyouable - thank you so much for that. i thought my day was going to be terrible when i saw that there was no new brendan and ste. i stopped sobbing into my coffee when i saw your comment and watched the channel. now i am counting the hours :)
yea, i think shes always seen only brendan side of his love for ste and not the other way around so i think she did that to see the depths for herself.
Loved ste's smile at the end
@churst yep, that's the scene I was referring to, and yes Cheryl saw right through that mask Ste was putting up right down to his real feelings for Brendan. I think that's why she told him Brendan had left...she wanted to see his reaction. He tried to hide his pain well, but all the viewers saw it...so sad. And yes, I hope she tells him. God, I hope so.
Where is Brendan when you need him...He could have easily made that guy disappear lol
Its weird how after this he dropped the whole thing and didn’t resurface until years later
@greymushroom1 and maybe by trying to gage the depths of Ste's feelings for Brendan will be what makes her decide to tell Ste, if she decides to. I hope she does tell him, cause I hope Ste gets to realize just how much Brendan loves him.
Absolutely! Tell it!
@greymushroom1 you sure can see it on her face. I wondered too if she was trying to find out the depths of Ste's feelings for Brendan too...I mean maybe she wanted to see if he still had feelings for him and to what depths.
I did not see this one coming! How can Ste move to America with the kids? Clearly the writers are not taking into account immigration laws... Not to mention the fact that gay marriage is not recognized on federal level.
She met a teacher fellow and they moved to Arica to work in some school there. That's why Ste even has the kids right now.
.... Ross??? D:/
I hated this storyline, he show up for one episode and then was never heard from again. Why even bother?
Lol
I read an interview where James Sutton said he wanted to come back.The producers asked the actor who played Craig if he was interested he said no and the producers didn't want to recast.
@emmettscanlanfans - has anyone told you that you are awesome? thank you for your hard work. you must know it is greatly appreciated.
that a perfect ham sandwhich
It always bothered me that Leah's bio dad popped up for a day, wanted to see her, and then vanish again without even checking in to see if Leah was happy, healthy, and safe. I mean I know the actor got cast in Emmerdale, but they could always have cast someone else down the line. Though Ste will always be Leah's real dad, he's taken care of her since she was little. He's the only father she's ever known and he's all she has now that Amy has died. It just annoys me when stories are there to blink and you miss them stories, like at least see it through.
How can they prosecute ste when hes half way across the world if he gets to america?
We can only hope the Supremes can surprise us. Frankly I want Ste arrested for stupidity, Doug-just for being Doug, and Cheryl for keeping her mouth closed except for eating....
I don't think she should but maybe she will. I am still wondering how they are going to get to dublin
It really depends on how willing Leah's dad is willing to fight for her. Plus with the right lawyer anything can be done.
@44Michellef It is funny how every once in a while when I get fed up with one of these characters and want to say what needs saying, but choose to be politically correct, you say it for me. You have done it again. Thank you.
omg....Ross Barton is Lea's dad?? Emmerdale must not be very far from Hollyoaks.
Ryan Je lol
Ryan Je yep Lea is Moses's sister haha
Ste is not thinking clearly at all. He just found out Brendan left and before he can get over that, here comes Leah's biological father talking about wanting to be in her life and threatening to take her from Ste. He knows he can't flee the country with her even if he is truly Leah's father in every way that counts. Doug's plan is like a kid saying let me put this blanket over me and people won't be able to find me. Ste's world is so upside down right now, poor baby1
He won't be long I bet he is coming back
This is really annoying me i can't watch your videos because it says its not available in your country....URM i lie in the UK for god sake!
OK! How old is that guy? Wasn't Amy like 15 when she had Her first child? He looks like he is pushing 30.
The only laws that would come into play are the British laws. Doug has no dog in the race, because Leah isn't his, NOR is she Ste's biological child or legally adopted child. If they came to America with her, the port authorities would stop them before they ever left the international terminal of the airport and arrest Doug and Ste (if the 'father's' solicitors contacted the US govt) and charge them with kidnapping, custodial interference.
agreed!
Anyone know how long Brandon will be gone?
agreed.
I think it was more her promising not to tell Ste the true motive behind Brendan hitting him, not that Brendan left town.
if i am correct Ste can travel but he cannot stay so that is the only thing i suppose would make sense if he move to the states.
Agree...I don't think the writers are the smartest kids on the block either, LOL.
American here too. No disagreement here. Federal law generally trumps State but there are a lot of things here. I'm not really sure any of this would go to Federal court but I have not judgement call either way. Here in USA, If Ste never adopted Lea then only Amy has legal say.

YeY 2 more vids and Dublin it is.
..... My name is Billi-Jade Parker.... I can't even. Nope.
Back when Amy wanted to move to New York and Ste was going to go with them, didn't they say something about how Ste couldn't get a visa because of his criminal history? Also, Ste has no legal rights to Leah so... WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!

LOL...it's like Doug and Ste make each other dumb. What the heck kind of plan is running away with the kids...
yeah, I do.
i miss brendan all ready
Love the (in)convenient timing of this Billy guy's re-emergence on the show. Go away, dead beat dad :/ Also LOL Ste and Doug have no concept of reality do they?
what doug is thinking? ste also should talk to amy about this I bet her decsion wouldn't be to flee to another country
No brandon come back
But if DOMA was upheld, wouldn't Ste still not be considered a spouse by the Federal Govt. and sent back ? DOMA is so unfair. And someone said because of Ste's criminal record he wouldn't be allowed in anyway But I guess the writers don't research and should be the ones arrested, LOL.
...and his step dad before that. He's had a lot of training.
hollyoaks is getting more interesting,brendan must come back.episodes will be more interesting every time is on .he is a tough guy but good hearted, and loves ste.
ste is nothing without him
Ok, I get that the actress who played Amy is no longer on the show, but why are they dealing with a custody storyline when Amy can't get involved cause she's no longer on the show.

And as far as Amy being the mom, SURE she is. But Ste and Doug moving to America doesn't change that.
Doug! PUSH OVER MUCH?
Totally agree, Brendan's not gonna let that happen. Probably come back and knock about the homophobe
Ste would have no rights in NY or any other state because State Gay Marriage is nor recognized by the Federal Govt. He'd be back on his way to the UK, and probably arrested somewhere for kidnapping.State Gay Marriages are denied over 1,000 benefits because DOMA prevents Federal recognition of them.
They haven't even asked Amy? What are they thinking?
I assume Ste is not the adoptive dad. So push come to shove, he has no rights.
Though I am American, doesn't depend on if Amy got custody of the children? If Amy has full custody of Leah, then Billy has no rights. Also, if ste has legally adopted Leah, then he has the right to take her out of the country.
Cheryl you promised you wouldn't tell ste about Brendan
Duh? Duh? WTF, the Fn F ? They were planning on taking the kids? And Amy doesn't even know? Taking Leah without her parents consent,isn't that kidnapping?

hahhahaa dude.... i stop bother thinking about the use of "common sense" in this a while..... hahaha
they can't
I'm American. If and that is a big IF they ever were able to get Leah on a plane for the states the American government would step in the moment that plane landed.

are we sure that they broke up? last time Craig appeared in Hollyoaks Later they were still together
Just turn the taxi around with Brendan in it. Let him find out what is going on and that guy will never be seen or heard from ever again...Then we can move on to a real story line and not this piddily stuff filling time!
Brendan, Where are you? please come back..i miss you.
There's really something different about Stedan compare to Stoug..
I hate it, not seeing Brendan in the Episode..
@lydiamaroon lol I was thinking the same thing about Ste
... but he does in New York state. Same sex marriage legal in New York. If the matter somehow got pushed into State then Federal Supreme Court, I wouldn't be able to guess.
Brendan could sort this.
I'd make a baby with Billy. Me-ow.
hmmm
africa ??? really ur imagination flew ffar far far away XD she move to manchester
N'importe nawak en ce moment !?!
At this point I'm realy hating ste WTF ;(
hahaha again... the use of "common sense" in HO it's not mandatory or usefull at all xD
