- Doug finds it hard to deal with Brendan's significance in Ste's life. And just as they reconcile and make the ultimate commitment, Ste receives a phonecall about Brendan...

It just cracks me up how Brendan manages to insert himself into every Ste/Doug first. He interrupts their first kiss. Crashes their apartment the first time they sleep together. And even when he's almost DYING he manages to interrupt their proposal shfgkjdhf It's so sad for them but I find it hilarious
Wrong move, Doug. Getting married in order to save a troubled relationship long-term has never worked.
Yea, that really looked like Passion at the beginning when Doug pulled away from Ste's kisses. Really, Brendan is the love of Ste's Life & Vice-Versa. But Ste has Doug now, and is settling for a comfortable life with a needy person- rather than a passionate one. He didn't exactly look thrilled when he saw "Will You Marry Me"-it took a while, then he said yes & they had sex. But when he hears something had happened to Brendan he really showed how much Brendan means to him.
Ste never needed to spice anything up with Brendan. Wink.
265/5000
So Doug, you have doubts and concerns about your relationship and your answer to that is to ask Ste to marry you? It's just crazy not to mention that Ste actually looked more shocked than happy. Ste belongs with Brendan everything else is just wrong.
Nice, taking the deli as a metaphore for their entire relationship. Love it :D (And even if Ste doesn't say it - yeah, he's bored. He was never bored when he was with Brendan, just saying.)
I kept thinking "No, he wasn't the love of Ste's life. He IS the love of his life. Present tense. Now skedaddle."
You sound like a hopeless romantic moron who obsesses over your abusive first lover and would get back with them in an instant if they asked lmao
You know, I was struck emotionally with Ste's tear during the proposal. He wants so very much someone to love and accept him completely, especially after the numerous times Brendan rejected him. He deserves love. But, and this is a big but, he really maybe kidding himself-- he still loves Brendan. The fact that he took that call post-coital says it all really.
That proposal was so sweet; Doug is adorable when he isn't being all jealous.
Brendan is the love of Ste's life, end of.
COME ON the fact that he picked up the phone alone ... he just got engaged but still picks up the phone when his ex calls? Really?
No, but I had Blu-Ray "Titanic" on, so I guess my own eyes were teary then (G)- went back & re-watched the proposal about 8 times & you're right !-I finally saw a teeny tiny flash of light that must have been a tear -or a drop of sweat from sweaty Ste trying to figure out how to get out of this mess & now he has to clean the wall :( LOL
Sorry Doug but u were not enough ... Brendan was always the love of his life 💕 Stendan always.
Just want to say thank you for uploading all these eps and giving those in other parts of the world a chance to see this show and these characters. You are amazing emmettscanlanfans!
Feels weird watching this after Hollyoaks Later. Urgh.
Loving the Stendan, though.
"oh come on ste everyone's thinking it i actually said it!!" LOL so true.
i hate the constantly interrupting and mood-killing signal music at the end of every bloody episode!!!
Ste's tears, Stug's kisses, this ep was so beautiful!
Thank you thank you^^
That was the cutest proposal ever. Aww I just wish it was Stendan lol.
That proposal was too sweet. Had my hands on my face trying to stop the grin from cracking it!!! I love that Ste is able to assert himself, "I have a past, get over it!" and walk away. So strong. But I guess I must be one of those sick people who think that Bren's redemption can only come through Ste. Does that mean I want them together? I can't say, I just know that Brendan, I think, finally has turned a corner, and Ste is part of his path to happiness w/ himself and his life.
I also think it's too soon for them to get married but the proposal was so sweet. Beautiful Stug scenes.
Thanks for the vid.
Hollyoaks really know how to use music,the background music/songs go so well with scenes. The HO Later music score was wicked!
Even though I have grown to love Brendan, I still think Doug and Ste are perfect togetter, and just so darn cute!!!!!!
I always have hope that Brendan can overcome the demons that haunt him and be a true partner for Ste, but that is never going to happen overnight. Especially not after what we've seen on HollyoaksLater. So I hope that people will enjoy the sweet, loving relationship they are giving us with Ste & Doug. Let happiness reign for a while... for a change.
If you didn't see the tears, you probably were watching this with your eyes shut.
OFF TOPIC:
For those who acknowledges Emmett J. Scanlan's versatile acting, pls. spare a little time to go and vote for him in the Category of Best Serial Drama Performance.
Go to nationaltvawards (.) com.
Voting ends in October 9, the event will air on Jan 2013.
He is up against tough competition from other shows too. From East Enders, Coronation,etc….
Aside from our love and support, an NTA in his belt would be another epic bonus to give to Emmett next New Year. Thanks a lot!
Ste keep lying too himself when it comes to Brendan ,Brendan is still the love of your life and will always be
I agree 400%! I mean, when he said "I can live the rest of my life right here, with you. All I need is this deli...", I wanted to scream. He and Ste are so young. Both have just started dating and there are the constantly dark clouds (Brendan, Parents et al), why not give him a great writer, and figure it out. If they can do such a great job with Hollyoaks Later, they can give Doug a better life. This is just sad, and when Ste breaks his heart, in true Doug fashion, it's going to be quite bad...
thanks for uploading all this vids, the regular show and Later as well. I reckon it was hard work and I want you to know it's greatly appreciated from all brendan fans. :)
Oooh this made my day! Congrats to Ste and Doug!
Ste's face said it all when he first saw the writing on the wall. He is hesitant AF
Who wouldn't propose to ste he's beautiful
Am I the only one who noticed Ste shedding a tear of happiness when Doug proposed?
I agree with all the praises for Emmett J. Scanlan so no other words to heap on there. I have a dual investment in the actors for their abilities and for the story characters within their fictional environment and I LOVE the duality of the experience. Jobs Well Done.
Doesn't matter the source, if it reinforces Doug's self-doubts, he believes it. Even the signs at intersections are telling *him* to STOP.
this has been a good week of holloaks and h-later
Yeah, and that's why he was crying too. Totally. Those were tears of sadness that he was backed into a corner.
Doug, in his full insecurity mode, asks Ste to marry him, knowing that he will never fully erase Brendan from Ste's heart! Talk about desperation to hold onto someone!! Cannot wait to see the next episode!
Very true, Cheryl is one of his best friends and Brendan is a big part of his past. So Ste would be worried that they didn't return his phone calls about something as important as the club. But I just can't shake this feeling that it was part that and part because Ste is still tied to Brendan. Ste knows that Doug has huge issues with Brendan, they just got engaged and made love. I think out of respect for Doug, he could have waited.
What's everyone talking about, a bunch of stuff that has NOTHING to do with the episode. This is the BEST episode of the season!!!!!
I miss Jacqui ... now that her and Emmett are married, couldn't they both come back for a stint? Not asking for much, just a week. Their honeymoon maybe? Back to Hollyoaks?
Oh. Now that I think about it - better now. Oaks would even ruin them in the state it's in rn.
I didn't even think about that, but your right. They just got engaged and just made love and yet Ste took a call he thought was from Brendan. If he was a hundred percent done, he would have just let it go to voice mail or hit ignore.
Thank you!!
"what's happened to Brendan?" HE FINALLY SHAVED THE FUNKY LOOKIN MUSTACHE.
when I saw the spoiler, I knew he was going to propose. oh Doug.
I am neither disputing that Brendan has been traumatised as a kid nor that this abuse can lead to rage and incotrollable behaviour patterns. I am just saying that this line of argument cannot be used to justify his actions, only explain them. As I said, nobody knows the childhood history of Nana Flo or Mick. And sorry, some of the Brendan fans do think that those killings are somewhat excusable. What Brendan needs, is therapy. He can't go on hurting others because he has been hurt.
Can't stop watching this :') lol I need help
Yes Brendan is an adult, and yes he can't allow his past to dictate his future, or even his present, but Rome was not built in a day. He did not choose to have those things happen to him, and the self loathing, and hate that his father beat into him, can't be erased, because he is got older. And for your info, Brendan only killed one person, and that was Danny Houston, and that was to protect Steven, he didn't want to but was forced to yea. Joel's step-dad was not killed by Brendan, Joel did!
i love how gutted ste looked about the fact they'd have to repaint the walls :L and how doug says "really?!" - so cute
I think that just the fact ste answers his phone is leading us to a stendan reunion. what they showed with this proposal is the issues stug have and their immaturity/incapacity to fix them.it's like when couples want to have baby to solve their marriage issues, that marriage is doomed.
I've got to say.... That was pretty frickin adorable...
You're right, I couldn't stomach continuing to watch the old Stendan.
But if Brendan can heal himself, with some help from I don't know what sources, if he can stop being a "freak," to use Brendan's self-description, then perhaps he could become a person who could love Ste & not need or want to abuse him. If Brendan can travel the length of that road, then I can see them in a relationship. Ste may still have some work to do as well.
Of course, the writers have to make tho whole thing convincing.
I don't think it has anything to do with confidence. It is about thinking that once Ste has married him, he won't leave him so easily for Brendan. He is trying to retain Ste. I am afraid it won't work. I have the sense there is going to be a new, better person Brendan, and he will gain Ste back. Fingers crossed :)
Brendan is capable of change. Ste helped him get rid of the guilt and shame of being Gay. He seems very comfortable with being Gay now. It showed in a funny way on HL, when a policewoman wanted to pat him down to check for a weapon & he said something like "I'd rather he do it." about a male cop standing there. It showed he doesn't care who knows he's Gay in an offhanded way.
Awwww can't wait to see that, great scene between them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In case you don't know it some women who kill their partners after being abused for years very often suffer from "Battered Woman Syndrome" and are found not guilty of murder-I would expect it would be the same for a child who has been abused for years.
Regardless, I suggest you read about the death of Lisa Steinberg and see the torture this 6 year old girl suffered and maybe you'll understand one of the reasons why I feel like I do.
Chemistry is very subjective ... "in the eyes of the beholder." I see chemistry in Steven and different kinds with every one he's with. Each has their own kind of "chem" and somehow these actors let the different kinds of mix show. I loved the differences with Brendan, Noah, Adam, Doug, Rae, Theresa and amazingly Amy! I loved them all for their universality and the differences. Surprising! It was even good with the woman who with her husband tried to steal Lucas.
Poor thing. You will have to wait forever. ;-P
Doug and Ste are too cute for words.
Fire and Passion are two different things. Yeah Stedan had fire and it burned them both repeatedly, but Stug they've got passion, I mean they just did it on the floor of their store with the blinds open in broad daylight. Its the passion that makes Stug a truly great couple.
I'm mad at Hollyoaks for having a great Stug moment of them celebrating their engagement in the place they fell in love. To then have it interrupted by the phone call. Couldn't they just lie there and be happy in that moment for once?
Wow the tear in ste's eyes is too cute i cried when he proposed how sweet hope ste finds a new guy soon who will treat him right not like brendan at all
While Ste and Doug make sense, what they don't make is good television. I will always and forever love Brendan more than Doug.
is it possible that after 2 days of digesting later, i now want ste and bren together even more? cause i do
Of course it is not right to not help an abused child, what kind of question is this? She herself realised early on that it had been horrible of her to not save him. But my guess is she did not stay silent about the abuse because she was just too busy or thought everything was okay. People in abusive family situations sometimes do not behave rationally. Understanding active violence but not passive cowardice seems setting a double standard to me.
I'm sorry but I love Stug sooo much and that was just soo adorable!
Doug thinks getting married will banish his insecurities, that he will no longer have to worry about Brendan coming between them. Yet it won't change anything. Doug's insecurities and sourpuss ways are getting old. I find this relationship boring, the only plus is that Ste isn't being abused in anyway.
Wanting Stendan back or wanting it more is nothing new, especially with viewers here.
I *never* wanted the return of Stendan. To me that just sounded sick and unrealistic. What's new is that some of us who felt this way can now see a *long* road at the end of which a new Stendan could make sense.
The caller ID on Ste's mobile phone clearly said Brendan but I'm sure Brendan's mobile phone perished in the fire. Wonder who could be calling him then.
why they cant be happy.... Doug is such a good person.... and he loves Ste
Steven almost said I just can't! Then he said he made me who I am.
Mate my grip is firmly in play!
Kieron has a perfect skin...and everything else.....such a gorgeous young fella...so glad he plays for our team....hehe
I freakin love Stug to death
I agree Doug should break up with Ste. Ste claims Brendan is in the past and claims he feels nothing for Brendan, but his actions say otherwise. Ste can't control how he feels, but he can control his actions. Doug is too patient with Ste on the Brendan issue. Lian said it best, "everyone thinks Ste is still in love with Brendan", just no one is brave enough to say it. Ste is settling for Doug. Dou deserves a man who treats him as #1 and not settling for being 2nd best.
obviously Doug is in love with Stephen. Stephen is in love with Brendan (even though he hates to admit it), and Brendan "loves Stephen(in this time but cant recognized it at this time in his life), and thats why Stephen agreed to marry Doug. Doug trying to hold on to Stephen. s
You misunderstand my point. It's not a matter of taking a storyline seriously. It is a matter of wanting the story to be serious, i.e., to reflect reality. Of course, it is fiction, and if it does not entertain or provide some satisfaction, no one stays with it. However, fiction is most satisfying when it does what fiction does best-reveal truths that facts obscure. I am not entertained by garbage that ignores how humans and the world actually work. Being fiction is no excuse for sham escapism.
Abused children virtually have to develop a protective shell to survive. Abusers and people who know about the abuse and do nothing are as guilty as the abuser & deserve what they get-a taste of their own medicine since they kill a little kids soul.An abuser can stop-look at Ste-he was abused and abused Amy horribly, but he changed, stopped abuse, and is now a good guy When Nana told B she knew & B broke down & cried like the abused child he was it was heartbreaking. Emmett is amazing.
I think Doug needs to stop talking to Leanne about Ste and actually talk to Ste because I think he's say that Doug offers more than just commitment. Like how he's "kind and funny"... To quote Doug. Leanne just keeps saying that because that's what she wants.
while I agree the heart wants what the heart wants... Ste loves Brendan and he will never love anyone as much as he loves him
Ste can either follow his brain and stay with Doug or follow his heart and go to Brendan
I need the name of the first song of the video! 0:01 please!! haha sorry but i love the intro music
Glad others feel like I do.
Ste face was all that happy ,if Brendan had ask Steven to get married he would have jump all over Brendan
Good point-he was boxed in.He knows how insecure and needy Doug is & it was either say yes and act happy, or see those sad blue puppy dog eyes and have to put up with rejecting Ste's kisses like Ste had Herpes, It's almost like blackmail. I don't think Ste wants to give up yet, so he was caught between a rock and a hard place (pardon the expression, LOL)-so he said yes because he still has hope it'll work. Like s another poster said-when they were just friends it was awesome & nice-now tense.
I feel the same. Doug is a nice guy and Brendan's had chance after chance.
ste and branden had a relation that was beautiful and sexy, but it ended, they loved eachother but its over, we as people how many times we fell in love and we thought that this is the one, but at the end every one goes in his way, we miss it but we try to start new things with new people , and ste is doing that, he wants doug, he loves him, he is living, love them both
That was sooo adorable! :')
cant wait for the stendan engagement x
Dang PJ is lookin GOOD, right? Looks like he's been hitting the weights....
LOL. It's not as if I abandoned you. You're in the US as well. We're just on opposite coasts.
I have to agree, I mean you just said you didn't find him attractive, it's not like you made a rude comment comparing him to anything. just don't mind other comments.
THAT WAS SO CUTE
Super comment, even if Ste does not want to give, he and Brendan are still in love.
ha ha ha ha you are so funny, it was kind of sweet and Romantic :)
I understand passive cowardice, I understand that it is easier to act as if nothing happens. Yes, it's much easier. And you can always ask for forgiveness later.
I know a lot about abusive family situations, believe me; and I could forgive almost anything, but I draw a line when it comes to child abuse. Maybe I am not such a rational person after all.
I love u ste
Actually not denigrating an actor/actresses real looks is one of the rules I like :)
Cursing- I like 2, LOL
i am getting very annoyed with Doug with his jealousy and insecurity issues. how many times does Ste have to tell him he loves only him? if Ste leaves him for Brendan or someone else i will not blame him. No one wants to be with some one who needs to reassured all the time. It must be exhausting for Ste to have to tell Doug that he loves him and only him.
If you just watch the proposal bit, on its own, with out the context of the show. It is very well acted and def beleivable. But in context, does seem rather fast
I like Doug in episodes like this. I understand why people like him here, but in the later episodes he seems a bit more manipulative and insecure. Here he's quite likable.
MY MOM THINKS IM MENTAL BECAUSE I JUST SCREAMED AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN!!! FINALLY THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED!
I think neither of us wants to offend the other. Also, I think we agree that most soaps are not very realistic. Nevertheless, I don't quietly accept the low standards many soaps set for themselves. In particular, I'm hoping that Hollyoaks will take more care with Brendan's healing, if that's where his story is heading. If they do, it should continue to be very interesting. Otherwise, it may become annoying.
I hope you agree that realism is preferable, even when it's the exception.
Thanks.
