Even though it's temporary, I can't help but cherish these brief Stendan moments. I miss these two so much. I've never seen such explosive chemistry between two actors before. I think they've spoiled me for the rest of my TV-watching life.
Oh my heart absolutely broke into a million pieces. My poor Doug!! As much as I really want Stendan to work because that would just be amazing, BB is just BB. He just won't change and Ste will get hurt again. But oh my god, I was glued today. This ride is amazing!!! Thank you so much.
My heart breaks for Doug. I thought Brendan's confession was very sincere but the look on his face afterwards made me feel it wasn't as real as it should have been. I'm so confused because everything is so messed up.
That moment where they zoomed in on the Photograph of Ste and Doug, and then Brendan's coffee, that meant something. It was a moment of realisation for Ste. That Brendan will never change. And that Doug's worth fighting for. Ste's came up with a plan to get Brendan out of the picture so that the deli will be his, and he's able to be happy with Doug without BB interfering. At least that's what I think. Also, Damn you PJ for making me cry. That scene was amazing & really convincing. Stug love.
When I watched this earlier on tv I truly believed Brendan's speech in the deli - then I saw that little Brady-smirk! Well played, Brendan, well played...
No one can pull an evil smirk like Brendan 3:44 I just love him and hate him with equal passion. But poor Doug my heart broke in a million pieces at his speech, he always says the right words to say to set my feels to the brink, please someone give him a hug.
Whatever you Stug or Stendan fan you can't deny how amazing ,wonderful,dramatic,intense and exciting this storyline is.....i enjoy every bit of current plot with these three amazing actors in the mix....and i wish this love triangle would last for longer....
PJ has me in tears and that is a f-ing impossible feat these days. He did brilliantly today... he's an amazing actor and kudos to the director for getting those great performances from PJ, Emmett, and Kieron. I wait for each episode to appear with bated breath. Doug, my heart goes out to ya.
the kiss made me cry. partially 'cause of doug, but mostly 'cause i've been following stendan from the very beginning and i'm so emotionally involved in them. i know that this is only temporary and that ste'll go back to doug. maybe he's just fooling bren or bren'll do something stupid (again). but there's just something about him, i still love him after all he's done. that being said, he HAS to change. he did kill a man for ste. that sais something about his love for him (and how crazy he is.)
I know it's really late but I just have to say this... I've always said this, in any love triangle the good guy (Doug) usually gets the short end of the stick. Honestly Ste never deserved Doug, someone who was kind and caring and over the course of their relationship, truly loved Ste heart and soul and although I do believe Ste did love Doug it was never in same way or even as much as he loved Brendan. Unfortunately Doug seemed to always come second with Ste and ultimately I think it was his relationship with Ste that caused his death.
I understand the the Stug fans are all about Ste finally being happy, but hear me out. Yes, Ste and Doug are cute together, but Ste and Brendan have this intoxicating chemistry when they're both in a scene that makes it so addicting to watch. In the end, this is a story, and to me, Stendan makes for a more interesting and watchable one.
Keep watching! I'm pretty sure Ste is playing Brendan and he's just trying to regain power and take control of his own life and to prove to Brendan that he is stronger now. If ur really distraught like I was u can check spoilers later this month:)
The moment Ste realised he wasn't as over Brendan as he thought and could fall back into his schemes so easily because that's all he wanted, when he realised the hold Brendan still had over him, when Brendan walked out laughing, he was close, Ste was close to giving in. Then when Doug came in bared his soul, was completely vulnerable and showed him his heart, Ste saw the truth, the veil was lifted, he saw the love he could have, the love he wanted and knowing Brendan, he saw the lies or Brendan's veiled truth and knew he had to make a decision. To knowingly and willingly fall back into Brendan's schemes because a part of his soul ached for Brendan or to choose true love, vulnerable love, the kind he wanted with Brendan but didn't think he would have, the kind he has with Doug. Throw away a kind adoring love for a dangerous obsessed love? The decision was clear and the only way to start over and truly cut the ties was to play Brendan at his own game. I love this scene. I love Brendan and Ste. I love Doug and Ste.
fist: ste's obviously not going back to bren. he clearly has some ulterior motives here, he's not that naive. second: if ste actually did go back to bren i could kind of understand it. not because it's smart or healthy, because it isn't, but because he LOVES bren. you can't choose love, even if that love is fucked up. ste said himself "i love him, but i hate him!" the line between love and hate is fine - because it's so intense! i can't really see any intense chemistry or love between stug...
At this point I don't care who will Ste end up with, as long as the story keeps this interesting, I got for it. I love Brendan's evilness and it's nice to see how fragile Doug is. LOL! Loving Hollyoaks right now, and ESF, thanks a lot for the uploads! :-*
Doug's crying and willingness to put his heart on the line does not make him weak, maybe if Brendan was willing to cry a little more and show some genuine emotions he would punch people less.
I agree...I always use to watch my friends shouting at the tv screen and just shake my head, but this time it was me shouting. I'm addicted now and I can wait to see what's next.
I don't know what to think watching this! I was happy when Brendan seemed to bare his soul to Ste, then thought RUN Ste when the evil grin was shown, wanted him to tell Doug that he felt the same way, thought he was mean to tell Doug to leave, wanted it to be Doug that he went looking for, was kinda pleased it was Brendan, liked the kiss, was disappointed that it cut to Doug instead of doing a nice close-up but didn't like that Doug was hurt. And now reading all the theories about Ste, worried!
1. Brendan let Ste kiss him in front of the whole entire village. I NEVER thought I'd see that happen. 2. NEVER - even if he was 'out.' 3. Ste is doing something dastardly here, and I so love it. 4. I truly believe that Brendan is redeemable. Will he ever be a 'good' guy? No, not at all, but he can be better, and I really think he can learn to love in a way that is open and honest and not about power and control. He's sooooo close. BUT! OH MY HEART, Doug. God. PJ had me crying again. Dammit.
Ok, can I just be happy that Brendan and Ste are kissing in public. Brendan is freaking kissing Ste in public. I know with Brendan that it's one step forward, five steps back. But it's nice to see Brendan changing a tiny bit.
It irritates me when people say Doug couldn't already be in love with Ste. I fell in love with my husband the first week we were together. We've been together for 20 years. Love is what it is.
Holy crap.... each day this storyline gets better. My jaw was on the ground this entire episode. Hollyoaks is perfection right now with this storyline. By far one of my favorite gay storylines ever. *Bows down* I gotta say, I think Stug is too adorable together and Doug deserves a bit of luck, but Stendan are pure fire. I get butterflies myself when I watch then interact, something I don't get with Stug. If I had to choose, I want Stendan in the longrun.
I think Doug's 'I love you' plea just showed us and Ste once again how vulnerable Doug is. It shows us he's speaking from his heart, too. This is not strange at all as some of you try to keep saying. Doug is an extremely emotional guy, who falls easily in love too. He even already tried to kill himself twice when something bad happened. Right now, he's desperate. There are people like that in this world. In HO, Doug's one of them. It's NOT unrealistic.
Brendan's smirk after his little speech might have been a smirk of relief? I mean, when I'm relieved, I sometimes smirk. :') I'm just trying to make him look the good guy here. I thought that his speech was the cutest and I thought Doug's speech was a little over the top seeing as they'd only been together a very short while but it was, however, adorable. I just felt uncomfortable watching it. When Brendan and Ste kissed though. I screamed inside. I will be re-watching this again and again.
He's just saying exactly what he knows Ste wants to hear to get him back. After he's got Ste in to a false sense of security, he'll go straight back to how he was before.
I agree with everything you guys are saying! It's tragic that Ste feels like he needs to go back to Brendan. Doug was definitely the better option, anyway, but it's more the fact that Brendan doesn't seem to have changed at all. I can't understand how the writers of Hollyoaks can even try having Stendan back together, Ste needs Doug and it's obvious that Doug needs Ste, especially after the whole suicide fiasco.
Ste: "Now, 'control' goes, or I am" Bren: "Okay Steven" Ste: "And none of this silent-partner stuff either, Allright? that deli has got to be 100% mine...Allright? It's the only way.." Brendan: "...and Douglas?" *Kiss*
You are absolutely right, there is nothing wrong with a man showing his emotions, but there are boundaries, and Doug is definitely starting to cross them...
I totally agree that Ste is doing this so that he and Doug can own the Deli in peace. So they could have a future together. But I hate the fact that he had to do it in front of Doug at the festival. That was crushing! I love this love triangle! :)
Yes indeed. I almost cried myself. I love PJ he is just an amazing actor and in these past few weeks he has really shone brightly like the rising star that he is. But, I think I understand why Ste chose Brendan. A few years ago Ste was like a smaller more pitiful version of Brendan. He used to abuse Amy just like Brendan abused him (What a difference a few years makes). If Brendan truly has changed I think that he and Ste would get along fabulously. That doesn't mean I like it. #TeamStug
Guys, there's a poll on the Hollyoaks's website. Please vote for Doug. He's losing with 42.05% against Brendan with 57.95%. Maybe this poll could influence the writers and the future of Stug. I love Ste & Doug together !
My sister and my brother-in-law fell in love and married pretty quickly. They've been together 10+ years and are still very much in love and very happy together.
PS: Brendan looked like he wanted that kiss to go on. Look how he long he took to open his eyes and he didn't flash an "I won" smile afterward to Doug who he knew was watching.
I know Brendan is a double crossing, back stabbing control freak of an abuser but I believe that he genuinely loves Ste. I mean why else use all this energy on Ste? There are other boys in Holly Oaks who he could go after if he just wanted to control them. The smile suggests that he is up 2 something but his reaction 2 Ste's kiss is like, the kiss really meant something to him. And don't forget, that the ice-in-my-veins Brendan Brady said I love u to Ste last year. Brendan, don't f*** this up!
I really, really hope that is the case. I'm not really one for spoilers (I tend to find the wait for new episodes even more frustrating ;) ), but I sure will keep on watching. :)
I'm speechless, PJ is just a great actor. I just wanna hug Doug and tell him everything's gonna be fine and to stop going around with those big sad eyes of his, it's killing me!
I also thought that when Ste went to the party and said "Did you mean what you said" or w/e he was going to be talking to Doug and that Hollyoaks had put another spanner in the works and messed up the spoilers again but...I have to say I was so, so happy when it was Brendan he was talking to. I'm pretty bummed that their relationship for now, will probably be short lived. :'(
I think the pause at alone was simply becuase he planned that Ste would be there. He was making point. The pause was quite brief and he didnt stammer over the word. Think about it.
Seeing Ste and Brendan snog outside, in broad daylight with so many people around totally blows my mind. Brendan has come along way with accepting his sexuality. He may still have control and power issues, but he is obviously comfortable in his skin now. Hell, he looked right at Doug and claimed his man with a kiss. That's kinda hot, ngl. However, I am heartbroken for poor Doug :( I hope he doesn't do anything to hurt himself!
I was smiling so much when Brendan was telling Ste that he wanted to change and to be with him but then he grins so you now his still playing Ste.Ste i feel has feelings for the both guys but his playing Brendan.Because later his back with Doug.The kiss was so adorable i just love when they kiss you can see the sexual chemistry happening.Sorry Doug.
Does Hollyoaks air 5 times a week in the UK? Anyways thanks for uploading these videos. I look forward to them everyday! STUG or STENDAN...I love it all!
I think Ste has learned a lot from Brendan and when he left the shop he had a smirk on his face as if he has something planed, yeah i think someone is about to get played but its not Ste. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I have to say, however your rooting for, Brendan or Doug. The actor playing Doug (sorry don't know his name) what a wonderful bit of acting. Crying and making it believable are SO hard!!
I have to agree that Brendan has no learned a thing from his time away from Ste, he just feels lonely because everybody else is mad at him. On the other hand Ste is growing up and being his own man, but still is stuck on Brendan. As for Doug, well we all remember our first love, straight or gay, so it feels real to him. Still Stendan fan at heart but I want to see how this will play out.
Steven will always love Brendan, Even though he is going to make Brendan jealous by been with Doug, he clearly still loves Brendan very much, and it is only a matter of time before he gets back with him. So have your two minutes of fame Dougy.
Ste is not as simple as you think. He didn't fall for his games in the hotel, he's not falling for his fake admissions of love now. Give him a bit more credit, and watch and see what he's up to. ;)
Ste is SO playing Brendan! The whole Deli being 100% Ste's totally proves that Ste wants Doug and not Brendan. Although I do want Stedan for endgame, right now Stug is perfect until Brendan actually grows up and becomes a decent human being.
I believe he cared about Doug , but his heart was always with BRENDAN. BRENDAN was his first Love.
Even though it's temporary, I can't help but cherish these brief Stendan moments. I miss these two so much. I've never seen such explosive chemistry between two actors before. I think they've spoiled me for the rest of my TV-watching life.
Wow! High praise, indeed! Lol.
U haven seen haiyin couple yet...
I mean I love that couple but is abusive and toxic...
I was really going with what Brenden was saying to Ste until that cheeky smile ... ugh!!!
Oh my heart absolutely broke into a million pieces. My poor Doug!! As much as I really want Stendan to work because that would just be amazing, BB is just BB. He just won't change and Ste will get hurt again. But oh my god, I was glued today. This ride is amazing!!! Thank you so much.
I love how both guys have to beg Ste, he's like the girl :P
This episode breaks my heart. Not for Doug but for Brendan... Because I believed in Ste's choice... like him... :'(
My heart breaks seeing Doug like that. I can't take it I just wanna hug him!
Steve will always love Brendan, he was his first love.
My heart breaks for Doug. I thought Brendan's confession was very sincere but the look on his face afterwards made me feel it wasn't as real as it should have been. I'm so confused because everything is so messed up.
I also think B.B. wasn't honest. ..
4 sugars in his coffee? Christ, its already a latte.
Lol
Ste has a sweet tooth apparently
That moment where they zoomed in on the Photograph of Ste and Doug, and then Brendan's coffee, that meant something. It was a moment of realisation for Ste. That Brendan will never change. And that Doug's worth fighting for. Ste's came up with a plan to get Brendan out of the picture so that the deli will be his, and he's able to be happy with Doug without BB interfering.
At least that's what I think.
Also, Damn you PJ for making me cry. That scene was amazing & really convincing.
Stug love.

No one can pull an evil smirk like Brendan 3:44 I just love him and hate him with equal passion. But poor Doug my heart broke in a million pieces at his speech, he always says the right words to say to set my feels to the brink, please someone give him a hug.
Totally right about the drama and mystery, I'm exhausted with all the different emotions to just today's ep!
Whatever you Stug or Stendan fan you can't deny how amazing ,wonderful,dramatic,intense and exciting this storyline is.....i enjoy every bit of current plot with these three amazing actors in the mix....and i wish this love triangle would last for longer....
PJ has me in tears and that is a f-ing impossible feat these days. He did brilliantly today... he's an amazing actor and kudos to the director for getting those great performances from PJ, Emmett, and Kieron. I wait for each episode to appear with bated breath. Doug, my heart goes out to ya.
OMG, that scene w/ Ste and Doug just guts me....what amazing acting PJ!!!!!! I felt your pain like a knife in the heart!!!!
Oh Brendan and Ste are just so cute especially the kiss and Brendan worrying about whether Douglas is still in the way :) AHH
Brendan... I hate you!
Doug, my poor Douggie.. You brought me to tears... :'(
Ste... how could you do that!
Doug stop trying to bring tears to my eyes,
I can't stand to see you cry...
I didn't even know what happiness was until you kissed me, Oh my god, how sweet! I think my heart just broke into a thousand pieces!
the kiss made me cry. partially 'cause of doug, but mostly 'cause i've been following stendan from the very beginning and i'm so emotionally involved in them. i know that this is only temporary and that ste'll go back to doug. maybe he's just fooling bren or bren'll do something stupid (again). but there's just something about him, i still love him after all he's done. that being said, he HAS to change.
he did kill a man for ste. that sais something about his love for him (and how crazy he is.)

Unfortunately Doug seemed to always come second with Ste and ultimately I think it was his relationship with Ste that caused his death.
Rodney Gantt the fact that every guy from ste's life is always second to brendan well brendan is ste first love yeah i agree
I understand the the Stug fans are all about Ste finally being happy, but hear me out. Yes, Ste and Doug are cute together, but Ste and Brendan have this intoxicating chemistry when they're both in a scene that makes it so addicting to watch. In the end, this is a story, and to me, Stendan makes for a more interesting and watchable one.
My heart just broke into a million pieces
Thanks for that, I had to rewatch the ending to see where he asked about Doug?
That was a good catch....
Keep watching! I'm pretty sure Ste is playing Brendan and he's just trying to regain power and take control of his own life and to prove to Brendan that he is stronger now. If ur really distraught like I was u can check spoilers later this month:)
Brendan's face when he walks out the store for the second time hahahaha I knew it
The moment Ste realised he wasn't as over Brendan as he thought and could fall back into his schemes so easily because that's all he wanted, when he realised the hold Brendan still had over him, when Brendan walked out laughing, he was close, Ste was close to giving in. Then when Doug came in bared his soul, was completely vulnerable and showed him his heart, Ste saw the truth, the veil was lifted, he saw the love he could have, the love he wanted and knowing Brendan, he saw the lies or Brendan's veiled truth and knew he had to make a decision.

OMG PJ Brennan Your acting is unbelievable!!!!! I was shocked by how powerful that was!!!!!
hello im from 2023 whos with me?
OMG THANK YOU! I BEEN EYE HAWKING youtube waiting on your post XD I love you so much for doing this XD
you are not the only one. I've miss them so much.I couldn't't even watch the stug parts because I love Stedan. Thanks the great god they are back.
..And all was right in the world for the Stendan fandom once again. We've waited A WHILE.
Thank goodness someone else sees what is so clear to me.
At this point I don't care who will Ste end up with, as long as the story keeps this interesting, I got for it. I love Brendan's evilness and it's nice to see how fragile Doug is. LOL! Loving Hollyoaks right now, and ESF, thanks a lot for the uploads! :-*
Doug's crying and willingness to put his heart on the line does not make him weak, maybe if Brendan was willing to cry a little more and show some genuine emotions he would punch people less.
Brendan's grin when he walks out of the deli the second time. LOL!

Holy crap.... each day this storyline gets better. My jaw was on the ground this entire episode. Hollyoaks is perfection right now with this storyline.

I get butterflies myself when I watch then interact, something I don't get with Stug. If I had to choose, I want Stendan in the longrun.
omg when doug walked away at that last scene my heart sank so bad. poor dougie :(
OMG JUST WACHED TODAYS HOLLYOAKS AND STENDAN BACK !!!!!
I can't wait to see Ste and Doug back together ! Doug is really devastated and Brendan is such a manipulative man...
but seeing Doug cry and the look on his face after the kiss.... made me wanna cry myself
rewatched this and noticed : Brendan was not alone in a hotel room
OMG ! I wanted this last scene for so long but now that love Doug I don't know if I'm crying because I'm happy or sad !!
I think Doug's 'I love you' plea just showed us and Ste once again how vulnerable Doug is. It shows us he's speaking from his heart, too. This is not strange at all as some of you try to keep saying.
Doug is an extremely emotional guy, who falls easily in love too. He even already tried to kill himself twice when something bad happened. Right now, he's desperate.
There are people like that in this world. In HO, Doug's one of them. It's NOT unrealistic.
I think it was just Brendan...very pleased with himself because he knew Ste actually listened
Ste better be playing Brendan, he's smirk after his speech about changing shows he was lying while Doug was clearly sincere.
Brendan's smirk after his little speech might have been a smirk of relief? I mean, when I'm relieved, I sometimes smirk. :') I'm just trying to make him look the good guy here. I thought that his speech was the cutest and I thought Doug's speech was a little over the top seeing as they'd only been together a very short while but it was, however, adorable. I just felt uncomfortable watching it. When Brendan and Ste kissed though. I screamed inside. I will be re-watching this again and again.
My heart just broke a little
It amuses me far too much that when Ste and Brendan are kissing, the word 'virgin' is in big writing next to Doug's head. Trolololololo.
Relapse is so easy when you have never fully break from the addiction.
He's just saying exactly what he knows Ste wants to hear to get him back. After he's got Ste in to a false sense of security, he'll go straight back to how he was before.
I agree with everything you guys are saying! It's tragic that Ste feels like he needs to go back to Brendan.

I can't understand how the writers of Hollyoaks can even try having Stendan back together, Ste needs Doug and it's obvious that Doug needs Ste, especially after the whole suicide fiasco.
Ste: "Now, 'control' goes, or I am"
Bren: "Okay Steven"
Ste: "And none of this silent-partner stuff either, Allright? that deli has got to be 100% mine...Allright? It's the only way.."
Brendan: "...and Douglas?"
*Kiss*
First of all, thank you SO MUCH for posting these videos. I would die without them.
Secondly, Will there be a new episode posted today by any chance??
best.comment/poem ever!!
You are absolutely right, there is nothing wrong with a man showing his emotions, but there are boundaries, and Doug is definitely starting to cross them...
I totally agree that Ste is doing this so that he and Doug can own the Deli in peace. So they could have a future together. But I hate the fact that he had to do it in front of Doug at the festival. That was crushing! I love this love triangle! :)
Yes indeed. I almost cried myself. I love PJ he is just an amazing actor and in these past few weeks he has really shone brightly like the rising star that he is.
But, I think I understand why Ste chose Brendan. A few years ago Ste was like a smaller more pitiful version of Brendan. He used to abuse Amy just like Brendan abused him (What a difference a few years makes).
If Brendan truly has changed I think that he and Ste would get along fabulously. That doesn't mean I like it. #TeamStug
Didn't expect that from Ste but it would be an awesome storyline!
Ste was totally not into that kiss. When he pulled away, his expression was more, "There? Happy?" than, "I'm so pleased we're back together!"
Brendan was so not alone in that hotel room.
Guys, there's a poll on the Hollyoaks's website. Please vote for Doug. He's losing with 42.05% against Brendan with 57.95%. Maybe this poll could influence the writers and the future of Stug. I love Ste & Doug together !
My sister and my brother-in-law fell in love and married pretty quickly. They've been together 10+ years and are still very much in love and very happy together.
who else wanted to push that couple walking in front of the Stendan-kiss away! I was like "MOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Dougie Doug Douglas, please stop breaking my heaaaaart! :(
(PJ's acting is FANTASTIC)
Just keep watching, you won't regret it.
PS: Brendan looked like he wanted that kiss to go on. Look how he long he took to open his eyes and he didn't flash an "I won" smile afterward to Doug who he knew was watching.
Aah good point. And I guess Doug being genuinely heartbroken would really sell it.
I know Brendan is a double crossing, back stabbing control freak of an abuser but I believe that he genuinely loves Ste. I mean why else use all this energy on Ste? There are other boys in Holly Oaks who he could go after if he just wanted to control them. The smile suggests that he is up 2 something but his reaction 2 Ste's kiss is like, the kiss really meant something to him. And don't forget, that the ice-in-my-veins Brendan Brady said I love u to Ste last year. Brendan, don't f*** this up!
I really, really hope that is the case. I'm not really one for spoilers (I tend to find the wait for new episodes even more frustrating ;) ), but I sure will keep on watching. :)
I'm speechless, PJ is just a great actor. I just wanna hug Doug and tell him everything's gonna be fine and to stop going around with those big sad eyes of his, it's killing me!
i love this whole wonderful s/l. love that there is still that classic Stendan chemistry, and i love Doug's heart. a good soapy triangle.
I also thought that when Ste went to the party and said "Did you mean what you said" or w/e he was going to be talking to Doug and that Hollyoaks had put another spanner in the works and messed up the spoilers again but...I have to say I was so, so happy when it was Brendan he was talking to. I'm pretty bummed that their relationship for now, will probably be short lived. :'(
I think the pause at alone was simply becuase he planned that Ste would be there. He was making point. The pause was quite brief and he didnt stammer over the word. Think about it.

However, I am heartbroken for poor Doug :( I hope he doesn't do anything to hurt himself!
I was smiling so much when Brendan was telling Ste that he wanted to change and to be with him but then he grins so you now his still playing Ste.Ste i feel has feelings for the both guys but his playing Brendan.Because later his back with Doug.The kiss was so adorable i just love when they kiss you can see the sexual chemistry happening.Sorry Doug.
I agree. I think he feels for Doug but he is doing what he must to fix the situation and gain control of the deli.
Does Hollyoaks air 5 times a week in the UK? Anyways thanks for uploading these videos. I look forward to them everyday! STUG or STENDAN...I love it all!
I think Ste has learned a lot from Brendan and when he left the shop he had a smirk on his face as if he has something planed, yeah i think someone is about to get played but its not Ste. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I have to say, however your rooting for, Brendan or Doug. The actor playing Doug (sorry don't know his name) what a wonderful bit of acting. Crying and making it believable are SO hard!!
Ste and Brendan are perfect together, as long as Brendan stops the abuse.
to get a little bit of the idea, watch these music-fandom-vids:
Amy/Ste: Face Down
Amy & Ste - Thank You(You Made Me Strong)
I have to agree that Brendan has no learned a thing from his time away from Ste, he just feels lonely because everybody else is mad at him. On the other hand Ste is growing up and being his own man, but still is stuck on Brendan. As for Doug, well we all remember our first love, straight or gay, so it feels real to him. Still Stendan fan at heart but I want to see how this will play out.
oh my god. Ste I really really hope you're the one playing games now.
Steven will always love Brendan, Even though he is going to make Brendan jealous by been with Doug, he clearly still loves Brendan very much, and it is only a matter of time before he gets back with him. So have your two minutes of fame Dougy.
oh Doug, poor little Doug please don't cry baby, everything is gonna be great soon.
NO NO NO NO NONONONONON people cannot change so fast, I'm tired of seeing Ste fall for his tricks over and over
Brendan was looking all "hah Doug it's my turn now" before he kissed Ste.
Ste is not as simple as you think. He didn't fall for his games in the hotel, he's not falling for his fake admissions of love now. Give him a bit more credit, and watch and see what he's up to. ;)
Agreed. If anybody thinks Ste is going to back to Brendan out of love, they're clearly not paying attention at all.
Ste is SO playing Brendan! The whole Deli being 100% Ste's totally proves that Ste wants Doug and not Brendan. Although I do want Stedan for endgame, right now Stug is perfect until Brendan actually grows up and becomes a decent human being.
