some people making comments talking about Ste being weak and stupid for always going back to Brendan clearly don't understand the saying " you can't help who you fall in love with", sure Brendan is abusive but he is the one who understand Ste the most, he is the one facing down all the bullets going Ste way, he is the one that makes Ste feels alive, and beautiful inside and out, he is the one Ste is passionate about, he is Ste's first real love, and his first as a gay man. Brendan is his soul mate, and that's why years after, now in 2017, Brendan still has effects on Steven. It was Brendan who warren fox use to get Ste in to rehab and going clean, so matter how far, or how long you haven't seen that one person who touches you to your core, the moment they are mention or you see them 50 years later, they still makes your heart skip a beat. Brendan is that for Ste, so he is not foolish, stupid or crazy it's just that the love he has for the good side of Brendan is stronger than the hate he has for his bad side. Plain and simple Steven loves Brendan, he just loves him no matter what.
That speech was so obviously not about Doug ... and holy hell, how obvious is it that Ste isn't grieving the place he will miss but the one person he will never see again?
When Steven said to chez, now I'm getting on that plane, and no one will be stopping me, not you and certainly not Brendan! That sounded like a challenge to me! It was almost like he was daring chez to get Brendan to stop him!
UGH I LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for STENDEN IN DUBLIN!!!! When is there going to be another part uploaded? I love you forever emmettscanlanfans!!!!!
wow. when ste walked into brendan's office i immediately started to cry. i just imagined all of the memories that must have been racing through his mind. also, the talk with cheryl was very lovely. this was a great episode. i really feel sorry for doug now, even though i can't stand him. it's really unfair of ste to use him the way he does, but at the same time i can understand it. all he wants is to forget about brendan and the fact that the love of his life is forever (he thinks) gone.
I love love love Cheryl. I love the bit where Cheryl was watching Doug and Ste talking just after dancing and then she looks away the second Ste looks over. I loved the Mitzeee and Ste scene. Cheryl is so going to spill the beans. I love this show :)
You are 100 percent right in Your analysis . Kieron deserves some type of award as does Emmett . They have the "gift" of being able to convey to us , the audience any emotion called for in the scripts .
not every Stendan fan thinks Doug is selfish, he is the sane choice for Ste, the logical one, Doug is sweet and wants to be open about his love for Ste, it's just that Ste is always going to go back to Brendan
Kieron's acting is so spot on, I forget he's acting. I'm just mesmerized by his character. Like Ste, I wish Doug were the one, because any relationship with Brendan will be messy, even with the progress Brendan has been making. So far, though, Hollyoaks has done this love triangle better, more honestly and compellingly than anyone has the right to expect from a soap. Also it doesn't hurt that Ste (Kieron Richardson) is sooo gorgeous.
What I found so brilliant is that Ste's speech applied to both Doug and Brendan. The sheer drama came from knowing most of the people in the room heard it as an accolade of Doug, but we & perhaps Cheryl caught the subtext of an accolade to the man who wasn't in the room. Fans *are* divided Stug vs Stendan. I'm divided Stug AND Stendan. For me the story can go either way as long as Hollyoaks doesn't screw it up. So far I'm totally with the show. I feel like a patient about to go under the knife.
just a question did anyone else see the end scene where ste was getting up from the chair.He all of a sudden changed from having a jacket on, to a sweater and back again within seconds. am i having a mind trip?
I realize that ste's brain say be with doug but ste's heart say be with brendan. i think in 2013 the storyline with ste and brendan or "doug" will end in the middle or the end of the year
Exactly! From Ste's point of view, he loves Doug, and Brendan is no longer an option. Everyone acts according to their point of view. A lot of viewers are pining for Stendan, and it may happen, but right now Ste believes that's not possible.
I'm glad finally doug has some pride and self respect. I think his suspicions over ste's real feelings were born ages ago but finally he's doing something logic about it not like in the past when he asked ste to marry him. even if doug is pushing ste to be honest the result doesn't change though: ste is choosing another man over his husband
Ste wants a family life, an open loving relationship, the one thing Brendan has never been willing or able to give him, so he tries to have that life with someone else, and it never works, because Brendan is the love of his life, I don't know if BB can be good enough for Ste, be the family man, but I would like to see them get a chance to try
Holy continuity! How did they miss Ste was wearing a jacket in one take when he leaves the office at the end, and not in the other?! :OOO I could do that job. Like really. I need a job in television. And I'm qualified, and would be better than whoever it is they got...
this is not doug's first relationship but it's his first relationship with a man...though I think a realtionship is a relationship regardless if you are with a man or a woman.
I sympathize with Ste/Doug/Brendan, its just sad for everyone involved. Its never easy letting go of your first real love. Now i am not saying choose Brendan/doug, for me they both have their Good and Bad sides. I just feel that when feelings of love are involved, nothing is black and white anymore. I dont have anything against Doug, I think Ste loves him, mostly because he feels safe with him. Unfortunately for him, I just think Ste loves, and never stopped being in love with Brendan.
Oh man, this is getting so intense!! Brendan, where the fu*k are you? Stephen is saying such nice things and every single word out of his mouth is about you. God, these two will be the end of me.
truth is if ste was enough strong and confident he wouldn't be with doug right now. ste loves doug but not like you should love someone you are in a relationship with, he kissed brendan few days before and if brendan said yes he would have dumped doug. as much as I love ste I also am convinced he is using doug because he isn't strong enough to be alone so he goes and takes what he can but it's not fair on doug or himself
Watching this is incredibly painful. When kept in mind that next week their relationship is going to blow up in their face. Just to figure out Ste has made yet another mistake.
I HATE Ste wanting Brendan :( my best friend also keeps going back to his abusive ex boyfriend, and that is like seeing a train wreck happening over and over again.. Ste is never getting his life together as long as he is hung up on Brendan and they make each other miserable.. Doug that sweet boy needs to dump Ste's ass and find someone mature and responsible..
have you been in love ?? your love can't be same for two people as they aren't as same person , they have different personality for which you love them . as for here ste shouldn't have played with doug just to fight urges to be with brady . i wanna say right now its a nightmare to be in doug's shoes . ste shouldn't have him tag along like that !!
some people making comments talking about Ste being weak and stupid for always going back to Brendan clearly don't understand the saying " you can't help who you fall in love with", sure Brendan is abusive but he is the one who understand Ste the most, he is the one facing down all the bullets going Ste way, he is the one that makes Ste feels alive, and beautiful inside and out, he is the one Ste is passionate about, he is Ste's first real love, and his first as a gay man.

When Steven said to chez, now I'm getting on that plane, and no one will be stopping me, not you and certainly not Brendan! That sounded like a challenge to me! It was almost like he was daring chez to get Brendan to stop him!
UGH I LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for STENDEN IN DUBLIN!!!! When is there going to be another part uploaded? I love you forever emmettscanlanfans!!!!!

wow. when ste walked into brendan's office i immediately started to cry. i just imagined all of the memories that must have been racing through his mind. also, the talk with cheryl was very lovely. this was a great episode. i really feel sorry for doug now, even though i can't stand him. it's really unfair of ste to use him the way he does, but at the same time i can understand it. all he wants is to forget about brendan and the fact that the love of his life is forever (he thinks) gone.
awww Doug thinking that speech was about him. Lol....
#Stendan rewatch
Hilarious! "In America, our queen is called Oprah."...lmao
I love love love Cheryl. I love the bit where Cheryl was watching Doug and Ste talking just after dancing and then she looks away the second Ste looks over. I loved the Mitzeee and Ste scene. Cheryl is so going to spill the beans. I love this show :)
When I was young my mum watched this it’s what got me into hollyoaks, and I used to be so scared of them figures in the loft when Brendan had it 😂😂
Lol I love Mitzeee true friend
Lol his in Dublin
Jam Rodrigues
You are 100 percent right in Your analysis . Kieron deserves some type of award as does Emmett . They have the "gift" of being able to convey to us , the audience any emotion called for in the scripts .
We all know who that speech is about ;) Forever Stendan!
thank you for posting :)
not every Stendan fan thinks Doug is selfish, he is the sane choice for Ste, the logical one, Doug is sweet and wants to be open about his love for Ste, it's just that Ste is always going to go back to Brendan
Kieron's acting is so spot on, I forget he's acting. I'm just mesmerized by his character. Like Ste, I wish Doug were the one, because any relationship with Brendan will be messy, even with the progress Brendan has been making. So far, though, Hollyoaks has done this love triangle better, more honestly and compellingly than anyone has the right to expect from a soap.
Also it doesn't hurt that Ste (Kieron Richardson) is sooo gorgeous.
Ah, I just love Ste's hair!
yes, it was. and it looked so much better. didn't think that was possible.
What I found so brilliant is that Ste's speech applied to both Doug and Brendan. The sheer drama came from knowing most of the people in the room heard it as an accolade of Doug, but we & perhaps Cheryl caught the subtext of an accolade to the man who wasn't in the room.
Fans *are* divided Stug vs Stendan. I'm divided Stug AND Stendan. For me the story can go either way as long as Hollyoaks doesn't screw it up. So far I'm totally with the show. I feel like a patient about to go under the knife.
just a question did anyone else see the end scene where ste was getting up from the chair.He all of a sudden changed from having a jacket on, to a sweater and back again within seconds. am i having a mind trip?
I am a Stendan fan but there is no doubt that Doug is the very best for Ste. And no doubt that Ste is the very best thing for Brendan:)
NO It is different that's why i am so happy seeing that part added in this video..
Thank you!!
Its always heartwrenching to see people struggle into settling for the next second choice!!!! :-(
Thank you
thanks never too late i finally got it
@PhilBreisand, I think his saying. No matter how bad the ??? You went back for more. Referencing Brendan.
I just love how the kids call Doug "Daddy Doug". So sweat!
Great episode!
EXACTLY! I could not have said it better myself.
What's the name of the song at the end when Ste and Doug were dancing
This probably super late but she says "how could I compete with the boss"
Anyone realize all most at the end Stes had on a jacket then he didn't then he did
Can someone help me please......what does Steven say at 10.02?
It's "no matter how bad they are, you can't help going back for more."
+mcdt mmm Thank-you!
+Charmaine P. glad to help
Haha, good catch! I love these errors in continuity.
when ste says ... you're were just fuming Mitzeee cause i didn't fancy you what does Mitzeee say because i don't understand
"Who could compete with the boss Stephen"
In America, are Queen is called Oprah. LOL!
the heart wants what the heart wants
whats the song at 0:22 ?
Did anyone notice the magic jacket on Ste in the office scene? On Off On Off
Ste so handsome boy 😍
nooooooooooo dont leave, i want ste and brendan!
3:56 👺👈😆 😁 BRENDAN 😂...
Did ste find out about the cross yet?
tottally agree and also with stenda and stug.
is it me, or the angle of the kiss was different here!? :D
DOug: In America, our queen is Oprah!!! shahmamuahahhahahah
awww "bye daddy doug" unfortunate that that's the only time she'll say that.
I realize that ste's brain say be with doug but ste's heart say be with brendan. i think in 2013 the storyline with ste and brendan or "doug" will end in the middle or the end of the year
Yes..
Exactly! From Ste's point of view, he loves Doug, and Brendan is no longer an option. Everyone acts according to their point of view. A lot of viewers are pining for Stendan, and it may happen, but right now Ste believes that's not possible.
Quiero una hermana como Cheryl :D
I'm glad finally doug has some pride and self respect. I think his suspicions over ste's real feelings were born ages ago but finally he's doing something logic about it not like in the past when he asked ste to marry him. even if doug is pushing ste to be honest the result doesn't change though: ste is choosing another man over his husband
"In America our Queen is called Oprah" I just can't hate Doug, I really can't!
Ste wants a family life, an open loving relationship, the one thing Brendan has never been willing or able to give him, so he tries to have that life with someone else, and it never works, because Brendan is the love of his life, I don't know if BB can be good enough for Ste, be the family man, but I would like to see them get a chance to try
ijust wish Doug realise this soon and find a man who will love him
Holy continuity! How did they miss Ste was wearing a jacket in one take when he leaves the office at the end, and not in the other?! :OOO I could do that job. Like really. I need a job in television. And I'm qualified, and would be better than whoever it is they got...
for god sake chez tell him already!! Gosh
Lawl u magic disappearing jacket 10:43
Gotta love mitzee
I'm really really really really torned between Ste and Dug V Ste and Brendan.
Daddy Doug!! He's so cute
@jula kas i saw it.
bye daddy doug!!! TT__TT omg
Haha! Yes, I did! Magic edits :)
"In America, our queen is called Oprah." o.O I don't think so
damn doug is soo cute!!
As much as I love Stendan, a huge part of me is really sad about Stug.
that editing was terrible ste in his coat then not in his coat lmao
this is not doug's first relationship but it's his first relationship with a man...though I think a realtionship is a relationship regardless if you are with a man or a woman.
I sympathize with Ste/Doug/Brendan, its just sad for everyone involved. Its never easy letting go of your first real love. Now i am not saying choose Brendan/doug, for me they both have their Good and Bad sides. I just feel that when feelings of love are involved, nothing is black and white anymore. I dont have anything against Doug, I think Ste loves him, mostly because he feels safe with him. Unfortunately for him, I just think Ste loves, and never stopped being in love with Brendan.
Wow
I'm voiting for Doug and Ste, but there has to be a closer for Ste and Brandan because they can't move one leaving it like this :s
Oh man, this is getting so intense!!
Brendan, where the fu*k are you? Stephen is saying such nice things and every single word out of his mouth is about you. God, these two will be the end of me.
truth is if ste was enough strong and confident he wouldn't be with doug right now. ste loves doug but not like you should love someone you are in a relationship with, he kissed brendan few days before and if brendan said yes he would have dumped doug. as much as I love ste I also am convinced he is using doug because he isn't strong enough to be alone so he goes and takes what he can but it's not fair on doug or himself
Ste could you just please choose between Doug or Brendan?
Watching this is incredibly painful. When kept in mind that next week their relationship is going to blow up in their face. Just to figure out Ste has made yet another mistake.
Cheryl! Just tell him the truth already !
LOL oopsie 10:41 Ste in sweater, 10:42 Ste in jacket ...
I HATE Ste wanting Brendan :( my best friend also keeps going back to his abusive ex boyfriend, and that is like seeing a train wreck happening over and over again.. Ste is never getting his life together as long as he is hung up on Brendan and they make each other miserable.. Doug that sweet boy needs to dump Ste's ass and find someone mature and responsible..
LOOL
Doug looks cute in this episode. It's like he's got a messy look going on or something.
POLICA - Form
while that's true.. I still hoped for more Brendan X Doug interaction and drama
you know.. at least some more creepy close ups and whispers in the ear
oh this Brendan -.- i wish ste could love Doug the same way Doug loves ste :/
have you been in love ?? your love can't be same for two people as they aren't as same person , they have different personality for which you love them . as for here ste shouldn't have played with doug just to fight urges to be with brady . i wanna say right now its a nightmare to be in doug's shoes . ste shouldn't have him tag along like that !!
