"I've been taking bullets for you for months" Gah!! And Emmett's delivery if that line! And Kieron's face during that scene..damn, they are ripping out my heart....gahhh.
Even after everything, a scene with Ste and Brendan still has more electricity than anything. Intense moments with them actually make my heart race. Jesus they got so lucky with the chemistry between Kieron and Emmett.
" I didn't come here to fight with you..." *20 seconds earlier* "DON'T PUT SIGNS LIKE THIS IN THE DOOR WAY IT DRIVES AWAY CUSTOMERS!!!" Really, Doug? Really? Sort your life out.
OMG! The eye contact between Brendan and Ste is incredible. No words just eyes and we feel exactly what they are feeling! This is why I love Hollyoaks! Great, great acting from EJS and KR!
No matter how much Ste deny his feelings for Brendan, he can't do it forever, because no matter what he and Bren has being through it has not weaken them, it has only made them stronger. The love between them is undeniable, strong, passionate, exciting, true and oh so hot.
I am still in shock over what Brendan told Ste....sooo sad . I felt like crying for the three of them . Brendan , Ste , and Doug are hurting badly and have had terrible thing happen to each other the past week . My God what excellent actors they are !!! To be able to convey the feelings of loss , anger/hopelessnes , and fear the way they have is beyond talent .
Tears were streaming down my face during the whole Ste/Brendan scene. Wow... so many Stendan feelings came bubbling up to the surface. Shipping them harder than ever before. You can see it all over their faces, that their love for each other is the most powerful force in their lives and it's never ending.
This was pure amazingness...... I have nothing more to say other than what I always say when it comes to EJS and KR - those 2 are gods amongst men and what they have between them and individually as actors, I have NEVER seen anywhere else. They could seriously give Hollywood actors a run for their money.....
"I’ve been taking bullets for you for months."I really wasn't expecting much from this episode but HO's has proved me wrong. The writing was flawless and the Stendan scene left me wanting more.
Yea, I noticed that too-everything seemed down & defeated. His hair was down, he was slumping, his eyes were dead, he seemed too fragile- he was that little boy again, putting up a shell against love.It makes you want to cry for that little, unprotected boy,-all alone.
Brendan, Doug, and Ste in the same space...wow. That's just too many gorgeous blue eyes in one spot. The laser like intensity from all of them was overwhelming. And Brendan's "I've been taking bullets for you for months," was just BEAUTIFULLY acted. Emmett's delivery of that line (and all the other ones in that speech) was spot on, Brendan Brady at the very end of his rope. Gorgeous. And Keiron's 'Ste' reaction to it was equally as poignant. LOVED that scene.
I think this is truly the beginning of Ste and Brendan getting back together. They both have done so much growing this past year. IT was hard and some of it was painful,but it will be worth if in the end. Brendan is finally ready for Ste. This can work now!
And the soft way Brendan said yes when Ste asked if he really would have taken that bulket for him....god, Brendan sounded so broken, so done with holding it in, so done with it all....god, I really need a Stendan endgame...I really NEED it.
The writers may come up with stupid storylines & inconsistencies, but when they write for Brendan they come up with the best lines, and his 'Taking Bullets for Steven" was so Amazing today & Emmett hit it out of the Ball Park.
They are all acting the way they are supposed to for the intended outcome: a Stendan reunion. They needed to bring Brendan down so low he would be honest with Ste with no agenda, while at the same time having Ste feel sorry for him, and having Doug do something to have Stug on the outs. It's all according to plan. And they are all acting it out beautifully. Thanks for uploading for us here in the States. :)
Ste represents to Brendan everything Brendan cannot be. Like in every couple one balances the other. He is the father he cannot be, he is the only person whos always been there for even when he did him wrong. Ste is not afraid to tell Brendan like it is, Brendan doesn't need to hide who he really is from him, he's the only person that gets him and takes him as he is.
he probably love's ste's loyalty, good nature, kind heart, the ease that he has about life, gorgeous blue eyes beautiful face,sense of humor. like i could go on all day! and that's just my list
You are 100 percent correct in Your post . The 3 of them during this episode had me believing it was all real life , not just actors following a script. This was better than any first run theater movie I've seen in a looong time. I'm going to watch it again for the 4th time...bye !
@anyusa0030 Thank you so much for replying to my comment. I was getting worried that I wouldn't see Brendan (the exquisite Emmett)! The only reason that I watch Hollyoaks is because of Brendan. His character brings me such joy, particularly because of his fast wit, insanely hot sexiness, and his love for ste. Thanks again!
Oh, I thought you were referring to me informing you of our boys' absence since you had asked me how I knew. I would hate to inadvertently post a "spoiler," since I'm new to posting comments. Thanks for the heads up! Yeap, we'll have to hang in there until our boys return! Take care.
You're welcome. I would have posted the entire scene, but there wasn't enough space. I'm sad for the demise of STUG so soon, but I like to see Brendan this raw and open to his feelings. When someone bottoms out there is no where to go but up. Hopefully he'll piece his life back together and try to win Ste back. (before he leaves the show)
@robertn800 Thanks so much for your reply. I was actually referring to some instructions noted by the person who provides us with these videos - it read that we should use initials and not the characters' and actors' names. However, I agree with you that using initials saves safe for a more fuller message. I was just checking for the proper posting etiquette - don't want to step on no one's toe - just want to enjoy myself with this awesome soap and funny comments by viewers. Thanks again!
doug did have a point and i just fell a little back in love with him because 1.he finally made a statement without the water works and 2. because hollyoaks characters especially doug, ste and brendan are so crazy that one day u can't stand something they do and the nextday am like aww i remeber why i loved u.
@Donna Brown I don't really know what's going on, but I read in one of the comments that we won't be seeing Brendan and Ste for 2 weeks. I don't know why, as you saw in my post. I'm trying to find out why, but as someone else commented on my post stated that it's probably a break that they took after so much filming both Hollyoaks and Hollyoaks Later. That makes sense. Hope to see them in 2 weeks. Hope this helps.
Make sure to tell the actors on twitter how much we love their acting. Hopefully it's gonna help keeping them on-screen for a long(er) period of time:-)
i kept repeating how ste asked if brendan would take the bullet for him, and how brendan answered, so much love, omg, this is sooo heartbreaking doug is leaving for good, bye
Ive seen some comments even on tumblr n be like ' are we watchin the same show?' I am apart of a hollyoaks podcast n its interestin to hear other ppls perspective on the situation which really open my eyes to how different ppl see things or maybe some of us have more observant of the complexity of characters n story. I feel like sometimes ppl don't think in terms of perspective n too subject to make a clear judgement on the situation. I tend to be more objective n logical but I have my moments.
I chuckle a bit when Doug said he wasn't looking for a fight after he had come in screaming about Ste putting the sign up. Ste did make a good point about them taking a break from the business after Riley's death. Though I'm glad after Brendan left, that Doug acted like a grown up and talked calmly and logically. I think they all need a break from each other to calm down and clear their heads.
I read on a few sites that Brendan and Ste won't be in any episodes for a few weeks...I don't know if it is true but it comes from a few very reliable sources.
He was teaching Joel to stand on his own by roughing up his stepdad. He didn't kill him, Walker did. A cop! Brendan had to do that awful act to insure that Joel's life wouldn't get ruined by going to jail for it. It wasn't out of malice. What happened was his Nana was horrible, but what she did to him was infinitely worse and affected his entire life. I believe the writers made it that she was soon to die from cancer--a very painful experience--to lessen the blow of what he did. Poetic justice.
Is B back on Thurs or Friday ? I'm excited 2 about upcoming stories-but actually was glad 2 have a break-I got caught up on some things I ignored & it's sorta been nice here-no fights, LOL.
So here i was, returning to emmet's YT channel to watch another Stendan/Walker/Stug saga since its monday, juz to see that there's no update!!! *faints*
Someone posted to me that they read a spoiler that indicated it will be two weeks until we see Brendan and Ste. Damn! I am going through Brendan and Ste withdrawal
the prolonged answer to question 'why?', more or less (im not native english speaker either): same reason i told doug to take the money for your business, same reason i signed that business over to you, same reason i bought that goddamn flat off that property developer before he'd knock the whole place down. i've been taking bullets for you for months (?); i'm not gonna meddle in your life no more, iain't put the flat up for sale if you want, if you want you gonna have it. i'm done.
A break from Doug is just what Ste (and I) needs. I'm at my limit with his whinging. That scene between Ste and Brendan...romantic poetry in motion. It's bittersweet, though, seeing a man like Brendan at the end of his rope, ready to throw the towel in. I can't wait for him to rise from the ashes.
ur 100% right they all need some time apart and i need to take a break from this show especially since it seems like next week won't have many ste, bren, or doug scenes .
@robertn800 Thanks Robert! Your post is great! I do try to do the right thing wherever I go. I agree that this is only a soap and people should just enjoy it. It's a lot of fun to see it, especially for me since I am lusting for (pardon!) for E/B, but overall it's great fun viewing it, making predictions (my previous ones have come to pass) and reading the funny and occasional nice comments. Thanks for the vote of confidence. BTW, is that you in the photo? If so, I think I'm in love! Ha! Ha!
Hey everyone....what happened to the next episode ??? I hope they haven't started blocking the show. It's Wednesday Oct 10th and nothing since Thursday last week.
I'm with you on 3 out of 4 of your points. I don't know that Ste still loves Brendan. Cares about him, yes, but loves? And it's not clear that Ste even knows what he feels for him. Probably he has a lot of different feelings. But the situation is now fluid. What Ste knows or feels may change.
"My boy is in hospital Douglas. Grow up". END OF Brendan would take bullets for Ste, while Doug would cry him a river, because that's all he ever does.
Hmm. Good point. I meant that because it's not possible to know the future, the "I knew" seemed to be gloating beyond just being glad. But you're right, Doug has a history of giving up & moving on. So if he does quit, which he hasn't yet, then people will be entitled to say they're not surprised, which will be almost but not quite as strong as "I knew." Even I expect Doug & Ste to break up, although I'll be sad, not glad. So unfair that the writers never gave them at least a month in the sun.
To Stendan fans it may seem like Ste ought to realize by now that he should be with Bren. But honestly, considering everything that's going on right now, how raw everyone's feelings are and how unsettled everyone is, I doubt that Ste right now is thinking about who he should be with. Still, what Brendan said will surely begin to work on Ste. His implicit declaration of love is unforgettable. For now Brendan is also smart to push Ste away. Neither of them is ready.
@Itsonlyyouable Hey thanks again for your post! Love it since now I don't feel so shallow! I can't help myself, but it seems that E has gotten under my skin, so much so that I find myself thinking about him almost daily. Last Friday and today I got bad news, but reading your lovely posts cheered me up and put a smile on my face, as well as seeing the old episodes of hunky, hotter than the blazing sun, exquisite E. I only hope he replies to my letter, especially since I know I'll never meet him
And Ste ends up alone :-( But wow,well done to ES and KR such great scenes all this week. And now we shall await foreverrrrr for another Ste,Brendan,Cheryl scenes in the future.
Together yes, but no sunshine. Except for a few dramatic declarations of love and an engagement that arose out of mutual insecurity, it's been mostly a relationship of frustration, dissatisfaction, and conflict.
Ste isn't thinking about choices. You're projecting your hopes for the future onto Ste. Your hopes may eventually be realized, but that's not where Ste is right now in his own processing. For now everyone's feelings are raw and relationships are unsettled. Let's try to enjoy the ambiguity of the moment without pushing.
@robertn800 Robert, thanks for your post. I may be wrong, but I believe I saw it somewhere where it stated to use initials, but again, I may be wrong since I now notice other viewers using full names. I was just being polite by wanting to follow the posting etiquette. But you're 100% right - initials and numbers is shorter and better. Nothing wrong with you - you're cool! Thanks again! Be well!
Thanxs 4 the nice thought about my personality. 2 me having fun & talking is more important than looks. Nothing worse than a date where someone is mute or mean about others.
Could someone kindly tell me why we're not going to see gorgeous Brendan and Ste for 2 weeks. I only watch Hollyoaks for Brendan (and Ste too) and not seeing Brendan for 2 weeks is TOO LONG! Please explain. Thanks!
Actually, I was telling you that it was thru someone else I got the information from pertaining to the spoiler information. Either way we have to wait two weeks
I so enjoyed Brendan coming clean in his own way of how he has been looking out for Ste... would have taken a bulliet, giving the loan and signing it over to Ste, buying his apartment complex which was going to be torned down. Brendan is damaged no changing that but he needs Ste to be gentle and show him kindness. I don't expect Brendan to be a saint but less himself with Ste.
Thank you, I wish discussion on comments could be civilized. I would never attack someone or name call, I understand people feel strongly for characters and I am wanting to understand. Definitely no hurt feelings.
Thanks. I agree we can never know for sure what motivates the writers, but my guess is that Doug was from the beginning intended as a waypoint on Ste's journey back to Brendan. I suspect the courting phase of Ste & Doug had many viewers on the edge of their seats, but that never mattered in the larger scheme of things.
Damn-I can see Ste softening towards Doug already by offering to go to California with him. Guess I better start preparing myself for Wedding Bells & get some Ear Plugs & Needles for my eyes.
Actually I was reading some spoilers that E4 sent to me, and they will be back on the 15th, Lindsey funeral, and some old boyfriend of Brendan's is coming to holly-oaks.
Hey Any :) -U know, I just thought Of Brendan as an "antihero" & looked it up online : "One whose personality can be perceived as being villainous and heroic together.They may do bad things but are not evil. They may fight villains, but not for the reason of justice, or if it is for the cause of justice will take an "ends justify the means" stance,an antihero may steal, vandalize, and perform other "bad" acts but may do so for a good cause or even an unexamined motivation." Sounds like Brendan.
okay i been watching soaps for a long time now and i've always thought that love triangles were so romantic and having to ppl want u was so much fun. but i don't know if its the writing on HO or the acting maybe its both but u can really see how realistically being in love with 2 ppl at the same time can be heartbreaking and painful. like i really see ste's dilemma and feel his pain. great acting all around!! and just as he should be am totally exhausted!
Ste *is* being indecisive, but he doesn't even realize yet that he's being indecisive in the sense that you mean. Presumably that will come. It seems to be the unstoppable direction the story is headed in. I'm happy for Brendan that he continues to make progress. I'm just still a long way from wanting to see Ste and Brendan together. Right now it would be really bad for both of them. Also Ste & Doug have stuff to work through, regardless of whether they stay together or break up.
This was the episode that Ste realizes just how much Branden really cares and loves him.
Brendan loves Steven Always 💙💙
"I've been taking bullets for you for months"
Gah!! And Emmett's delivery if that line! And Kieron's face during that scene..damn, they are ripping out my heart....gahhh.
Hello character development, awesome seeing you here!
hahahaha!
Lol lol lol
Even after everything, a scene with Ste and Brendan still has more electricity than anything. Intense moments with them actually make my heart race. Jesus they got so lucky with the chemistry between Kieron and Emmett.
I love how at 5:05 Ste looks so distressed about what is happening with Brendan and doesn't really seem to care at all what's up with Doug.
I'm speechless by how good this has been.
" I didn't come here to fight with you..."
*20 seconds earlier*
"DON'T PUT SIGNS LIKE THIS IN THE DOOR WAY IT DRIVES AWAY CUSTOMERS!!!"
Really, Doug? Really? Sort your life out.
Emmett is such an amazing actor, he can say some many things and so many emotions with just a look. Especially with just his eyes.
OMG! The eye contact between Brendan and Ste is incredible. No words just eyes and we feel exactly what they are feeling!
This is why I love Hollyoaks! Great, great acting from EJS and KR!
No matter how much Ste deny his feelings for Brendan, he can't do it forever, because no matter what he and Bren has being through it has not weaken them, it has only made them stronger. The love between them is undeniable, strong, passionate, exciting, true and oh so hot.
I am still in shock over what Brendan told Ste....sooo sad . I felt like crying for the three of them . Brendan , Ste , and Doug are hurting badly and have had terrible thing happen to each other the past week . My God what excellent actors they are !!! To be able to convey the feelings of loss , anger/hopelessnes , and fear the way they have is beyond talent .
Tears were streaming down my face during the whole Ste/Brendan scene. Wow... so many Stendan feelings came bubbling up to the surface. Shipping them harder than ever before. You can see it all over their faces, that their love for each other is the most powerful force in their lives and it's never ending.
Just wanted to say thank you for these postings. It's really appreciated.
note how Ste didnt try to stop Doug, but tried to talk Brendan out of going back to ireland over a month ago..
thank you so much for this btw ,i missed some parts of it , desperately searching since i have watched live,thank you
This was pure amazingness...... I have nothing more to say other than what I always say when it comes to EJS and KR - those 2 are gods amongst men and what they have between them and individually as actors, I have NEVER seen anywhere else. They could seriously give Hollywood actors a run for their money.....

I loved when Brenden just fixed the tap!! Pure Irish! ;)
He bought the place so Steven would have a place to live. Oh my god, when I thought I couldn't love the character any more than I already do..
All brendan had to do at 3.17 was look at steven and he stopped whatever was going on in his head ❤️
Brendan, Doug, and Ste in the same space...wow. That's just too many gorgeous blue eyes in one spot. The laser like intensity from all of them was overwhelming. And Brendan's "I've been taking bullets for you for months," was just BEAUTIFULLY acted. Emmett's delivery of that line (and all the other ones in that speech) was spot on, Brendan Brady at the very end of his rope. Gorgeous. And Keiron's 'Ste' reaction to it was equally as poignant.

Alright.....I'm crying my freakin' eyesballs out over that scene between Ste and Brendan!!
Ste represents to Brendan everything Brendan cannot be. Like in every couple one balances the other.

Ste is not afraid to tell Brendan like it is, Brendan doesn't need to hide who he really is from him, he's the only person that gets him and takes him as he is.

hey now we can still have 80 years full of passion!

I thought it was hilarious how useless Doug and Ste were with the tap situation while Brendan fixed it in seconds :)
*hugs* there there :) how he said Stephen then said that yes, you can hear how emotional it was for him.
I really like this description! :]
Brendan loves Steven ❤❤
You're welcome. I would have posted the entire scene, but there wasn't enough space. I'm sad for the demise of STUG so soon, but I like to see Brendan this raw and open to his feelings. When someone bottoms out there is no where to go but up. Hopefully he'll piece his life back together and try to win Ste back. (before he leaves the show)

Awww I rewinded Brendens reasons over and over again
BB: "Go back inside Stephen" and Ste: "Yeah, but you still stood in front of a gun."
doug did have a point and i just fell a little back in love with him because 1.he finally made a statement without the water works and 2. because hollyoaks characters especially doug, ste and brendan are so crazy that one day u can't stand something they do and the nextday am like aww i remeber why i loved u.
Cool- really? I'd be thrilled, haven't seen you much here, lately but U come in with a Bang :)
will the makers of Hollyoaks ever put the show on DVD for sale by year? Gosh i hope so:)
@Donna Brown I don't really know what's going on, but I read in one of the comments that we won't be seeing Brendan and Ste for 2 weeks. I don't know why, as you saw in my post. I'm trying to find out why, but as someone else commented on my post stated that it's probably a break that they took after so much filming both Hollyoaks and Hollyoaks Later. That makes sense. Hope to see them in 2 weeks. Hope this helps.
I don't think he has a twitter account unfortunately.
Missed him, but absence makes the heart grow fonder...
Make sure to tell the actors on twitter how much we love their acting. Hopefully it's gonna help keeping them on-screen for a long(er) period of time:-)
i kept repeating how ste asked if brendan would take the bullet for him, and how brendan answered, so much love, omg, this is sooo heartbreaking
doug is leaving for good, bye

can someone write what brendan says (4:00 - 4:35)? english is not my first language, and brendan has a strong accent(((
the prolonged answer to question 'why?', more or less (im not native english speaker either): same reason i told doug to take the money for your business, same reason i signed that business over to you, same reason i bought that goddamn flat off that property developer before he'd knock the whole place down. i've been taking bullets for you for months (?); i'm not gonna meddle in your life no more, iain't put the flat up for sale if you want, if you want you gonna have it. i'm done.
silverdiamond45 thank you so much))
A break from Doug is just what Ste (and I) needs. I'm at my limit with his whinging.
That scene between Ste and Brendan...romantic poetry in motion. It's bittersweet, though, seeing a man like Brendan at the end of his rope, ready to throw the towel in. I can't wait for him to rise from the ashes.
Ew
ur 100% right they all need some time apart and i need to take a break from this show especially since it seems like next week won't have many ste, bren, or doug scenes .
@robertn800 Thanks Robert! Your post is great! I do try to do the right thing wherever I go. I agree that this is only a soap and people should just enjoy it. It's a lot of fun to see it, especially for me since I am lusting for (pardon!) for E/B, but overall it's great fun viewing it, making predictions (my previous ones have come to pass) and reading the funny and occasional nice comments. Thanks for the vote of confidence. BTW, is that you in the photo? If so, I think I'm in love! Ha! Ha!
I like your sarcasm & silliness :) It really is tiring to get drawn into a long debate.
So what hapened to Walker? I missed a few eps and now im confused o.O
Hey everyone....what happened to the next episode ??? I hope they haven't started blocking the show. It's Wednesday Oct 10th and nothing since Thursday last week.
Is there going to be a new episode posted tonight (friday)?
Does anyone know the name of that gorgeous song at the beginning of this video? Thanks.
It is that bond. Ste is the only one that can rein Brendan in.
The acting is sublime.
I'm with you on 3 out of 4 of your points.
I don't know that Ste still loves Brendan. Cares about him, yes, but loves? And it's not clear that Ste even knows what he feels for him. Probably he has a lot of different feelings.
But the situation is now fluid. What Ste knows or feels may change.
"My boy is in hospital Douglas. Grow up". END OF
Brendan would take bullets for Ste, while Doug would cry him a river, because that's all he ever does.
Brendan's line still brings butterflies to my stomach, and im just watching it.
How much more to d recipient of this message?
I think he was talking to Ash when they were doing her psych project. when he did the interviw for her and that is the last line her said to her
Hmm. Good point. I meant that because it's not possible to know the future, the "I knew" seemed to be gloating beyond just being glad. But you're right, Doug has a history of giving up & moving on. So if he does quit, which he hasn't yet, then people will be entitled to say they're not surprised, which will be almost but not quite as strong as "I knew."
Even I expect Doug & Ste to break up, although I'll be sad, not glad.
So unfair that the writers never gave them at least a month in the sun.
To Stendan fans it may seem like Ste ought to realize by now that he should be with Bren. But honestly, considering everything that's going on right now, how raw everyone's feelings are and how unsettled everyone is, I doubt that Ste right now is thinking about who he should be with.
Still, what Brendan said will surely begin to work on Ste. His implicit declaration of love is unforgettable. For now Brendan is also smart to push Ste away. Neither of them is ready.
@Itsonlyyouable Hey thanks again for your post! Love it since now I don't feel so shallow! I can't help myself, but it seems that E has gotten under my skin, so much so that I find myself thinking about him almost daily. Last Friday and today I got bad news, but reading your lovely posts cheered me up and put a smile on my face, as well as seeing the old episodes of hunky, hotter than the blazing sun, exquisite E. I only hope he replies to my letter, especially since I know I'll never meet him
tbh i dont think this is the end of walker as there havent been any 'farewell/best of luck''' messages to neil newbon, have there?
And Ste ends up alone :-(
But wow,well done to ES and KR such great scenes all this week. And now we shall await foreverrrrr for another Ste,Brendan,Cheryl scenes in the future.
JP & Doug.? Just put a pillow on my face.
Together yes, but no sunshine.
Except for a few dramatic declarations of love and an engagement that arose out of mutual insecurity, it's been mostly a relationship of frustration, dissatisfaction, and conflict.
I was so glad Ste said that.
emmettscanlanfans do u think u might upload that tv movie the fall,just scenes of emmett of course
Ste isn't thinking about choices. You're projecting your hopes for the future onto Ste. Your hopes may eventually be realized, but that's not where Ste is right now in his own processing.
For now everyone's feelings are raw and relationships are unsettled. Let's try to enjoy the ambiguity of the moment without pushing.
@robertn800 Robert, thanks for your post. I may be wrong, but I believe I saw it somewhere where it stated to use initials, but again, I may be wrong since I now notice other viewers using full names. I was just being polite by wanting to follow the posting etiquette. But you're 100% right - initials and numbers is shorter and better. Nothing wrong with you - you're cool! Thanks again! Be well!
Love this show so much watch it people :)
Thanxs 4 the nice thought about my personality. 2 me having fun & talking is more important than looks. Nothing worse than a date where someone is mute or mean about others.
Could someone kindly tell me why we're not going to see gorgeous Brendan and Ste for 2 weeks. I only watch Hollyoaks for Brendan (and Ste too) and not seeing Brendan for 2 weeks is TOO LONG! Please explain. Thanks!
Actually, I was telling you that it was thru someone else I got the information from pertaining to the spoiler information. Either way we have to wait two weeks
I would like to know what Doug had done for Ste exactly?
I so enjoyed Brendan coming clean in his own way of how he has been looking out for Ste... would have taken a bulliet, giving the loan and signing it over to Ste, buying his apartment complex which was going to be torned down. Brendan is damaged no changing that but he needs Ste to be gentle and show him kindness. I don't expect Brendan to be a saint but less himself with Ste.
Thank you, I wish discussion on comments could be civilized. I would never attack someone or name call, I understand people feel strongly for characters and I am wanting to understand. Definitely no hurt feelings.
Where is the next episode? I need it uploaded ASAP!
Thanks. I agree we can never know for sure what motivates the writers, but my guess is that Doug was from the beginning intended as a waypoint on Ste's journey back to Brendan. I suspect the courting phase of Ste & Doug had many viewers on the edge of their seats, but that never mattered in the larger scheme of things.
Damn-I can see Ste softening towards Doug already by offering to go to California with him. Guess I better start preparing myself for Wedding Bells & get some Ear Plugs & Needles for my eyes.
Actually I was reading some spoilers that E4 sent to me, and they will be back on the 15th, Lindsey funeral, and some old boyfriend of Brendan's is coming to holly-oaks.
Hey Any :) -U know, I just thought Of Brendan as an "antihero" & looked it up online : "One whose personality can be perceived as being villainous and heroic together.They may do bad things but are not evil. They may fight villains, but not for the reason of justice, or if it is for the cause of justice will take an "ends justify the means" stance,an antihero may steal, vandalize, and perform other "bad" acts but may do so for a good cause or even an unexamined motivation." Sounds like Brendan.
okay i been watching soaps for a long time now and i've always thought that love triangles were so romantic and having to ppl want u was so much fun. but i don't know if its the writing on HO or the acting maybe its both but u can really see how realistically being in love with 2 ppl at the same time can be heartbreaking and painful. like i really see ste's dilemma and feel his pain. great acting all around!! and just as he should be am totally exhausted!
Ste *is* being indecisive, but he doesn't even realize yet that he's being indecisive in the sense that you mean. Presumably that will come. It seems to be the unstoppable direction the story is headed in. I'm happy for Brendan that he continues to make progress. I'm just still a long way from wanting to see Ste and Brendan together. Right now it would be really bad for both of them. Also Ste & Doug have stuff to work through, regardless of whether they stay together or break up.
and tops it off with your better off without me
thats the most unselfish kind of love .
Steven knows who he should be with .I hope the writers do
