I love John! He is as handsome and nice in person as he is on the chat shows. No pretenses. Just a really decent guy who is thankful for his many fans. I saw him in person twice.
What an interesting development. So Doug's father is sick and wants him and Ste to just pack up and leave. Ste has his kids for 6 months right? I think Amy would have strong feelings about this. Thanks so much for the upload!!
exactly! thank you. Ste KNOWS financial troubles, he even used to be homeles and had tougher times with amy. He has a business now all they need to do work through the tough times. wth is this moving to america? I am in a america and it ain't any better here and just like you said, with no qualifications Ste is going to be working in a bar again and maybe doug.
Doug's dad is apparently determined to be a lying, manipulative bastard all the way to his grave. I don't usually wish fictional characters ill, but it would certainly be convenient if their plane crashed on the way home.
Am I the only one that remembers that Ste can't live in America? I mean when Amy and Lee were going to move there for Lee's job they finally made the decision to have Ste come with so they wouldn't be separating the kids and him and then they realized he couldn't go because of his trouble with the law and what not.
Man, the writers here were sure inconsistent. When Ste wanted to move with Amy and Lee, he couldn't because of his past record. I don't see what would make it any different not even a few years later.
You wrote this 5 months ago, so I don't know if you care anymore but anyway; I'm not that familiar with the laws regarding moving to another country and stuff like that, but I would guess that the fact that he's now married to an american citizen has something to do with how he can move there now despite his past record. I have no fact or any sources to back this up with though. Just my guess.
Smilet1000 Oh, man, 5 months! It feels like it's been ages since I watched this storyline. Lol. I don't even remember much of the earlier stuff anymore, but I feel like Ste said it was a criminal past that was keeping him from leaving the country. While I understand the whole green card aspect of this, it always seemed weird that being married would suddenly make his criminal past moot to whoever it is decides this stuff.
Well, there's the writing on the wall. Doug will choose to go back to America eventually, and Ste will stay behind with the kids. Open the door for Brendan to come to the rescue.
Parkinson disease is manageable for years. My Great Grandmother was diagnosed with it when she was 43. She died at 96! I think the writers needed to research this one a bit more. I did like Doug telling Mercedes off though...
Panto is English musical comedy or fantasy stage productions usually performed during the winter months. I believe John is playing Prince Charming in "Cinderella" this year but i am not positive. He was in the musical "Cats" so that is probably where you got the "lucious cat" from. Yes, he most definitely is quite lovely. Actually he is flat out gorgeous!
I've been rewatching episodes and this one felt like it was missing a scene at 3:53. If you want to see it watch tvmogel08's "7th December 2012 (prt 1/2)" at 7:04.
I thought the same thing from what I observed in a few interviews - he seems SO nice, down to earth and grateful for his job. Do you know if he will continue working in soaps (so we can see him again)? I hope so. In the meantime, I will miss him, as well as wonderful Marc, who was gracious enough to write back to me. Love them both.
I know that John does a lot of television in the UK and he also does the weekly lottery. He is doing Panto this year so I don't think we will see him as a regular on any show right now.
Gosh, if other people are Doug & Ste's only problems, they should move to a deserted island and sell sandwiches and pizzas to each other. Not sure how that would work out with the kids, but let's not sweat the small details.
tvmogel08 shows the entire show. FYI. :) I think, on Daily Motion, frozenstrawberries does too, but I could be mistaken on that one. The one I use when I want to see what going on in the rest of the village is tvmogel08 though. :) Hope that helps.
They couldn't find decent actor and actress to play Doug's parents? Viewers are supposed to believe that they are American?! I mean please, "coffee, not tea," really?! People who played Doug's parents just ruined the entire episode IMO. I'm not even an American and I was offended:P
idk but I think the writers were probably like "oh he's American they say Steve instead of Ste" but that is just stupid since Doug clearly calls him Ste.lol.
If these idiot writers do not write a Ste and Brendan drama,Emmett is gone.Which means its all gone.At least we have emmettsscanlanfans to watch the past 469 episodes.I want to thankyou very much for the time and effort to bring this story to all of us.But its the end.
Can someone direct me to a channel/subscription that is posting the entire show? I want to see how Mercedes got out the conviction and watch the other story lines in Hollyoaks. Thanks.
no,frankly he has no right to ask them to change suddenly all their life and move to another continent considering ste has kids too. doug has been doing all the efforts that's right but only because he is slightly obsessed with having ste. I'm not sure I believe in this kind of love when you want to be with your husband even knowing you are not suited for eachother. doug and ste are both wrong but as doug he's doing all the efforts, like you say, maybe it's time for him to let it go
what kind of sacrifice are you talking about? it's not about sacrifice if you are goin to be with a man with kids and a history, it's choice. Doug's home been Hollyoaks, even before he was traveling. that is not a sacrifice if he has been living there before. it is unfair to just ask Ste to up and move and no considering other options and he can't even work over there or consider Amy's say in this. they just need to reassess what they are doing. Herb has no right think they should up and leave.
I agree now that he's out of a job because Marc wanted to leave the soap. He could be the resident gym instructor, personal trainer with, of course, a different identity now that "Christian" moved to America with Syed. Wow, wouldn't that be great!
Oh. Oh my goodness. Can we have John Partridge come to Hollyoaks, please? I don't have any idea of how I would want him to be used, but my goodness.... he is a hottie mchottie from county Hottington.
The writers can be brilliant, especially when they're doing Hollyoaks Later, but sometimes you'd think the were writing for American soaps, God forbid! I'm entitled to say that because I'm in the U.S. and Iook to the British for a cut above our home-grown fare.
Does this show film 3 months ahead of what they air? In which case the new producer's stamp won't be felt for a while, and maybe there will still be some progress on the Brendan front. It's really irksome how Doug's American family seems to just assume that they take precedence over the life he has with his husband in the UK. I want Doug & Ste to stay together or break up based on who they are, not based on their in-laws' interference.
Why? because he wants to stay in his home with his children? Because he doesn't want to be manipulated by some guy he doesn't really know? That's not dickish behavior, that's standing up for himself.
It's just one thing after another for these two eh? No breaks haha, not saying it's a bad thing, but seems like the writers are using a quick cop out to split these two up!
This is the dumbest thing yet, I know the store has been closed when Ste was ill and when Riley died but they cater events and it's always busy and they have no debt, didn't Ste see to that when he tricked BB into wiping out the 80 Grand, so now they can't buy candy, and the only reason to uproot your life would be a terminal disease, which Parkinson's isn't, you live with it for years and years, come up with something better please!!!!
How dare you!!!! That is a complete offensive comment. And besides Michael J Fox is Canadian, not American. I should know I grew up in the same Canadian town as him.
sweety, have you seen what is going on I swear, these builds up are a train wreck (rest in peace reid) i mean sriously, it just feels BK trying put his mark on things now and it is just messing up watever flow was there. whenever soaps in transitions it is just the worse ugh.
The current storyline for Will & Sonny sucks big time. Sonny trusts Will, while Will actually lets bigot would-be daddy dictate what Will can tell Sonny, and of course, Gabitch is sooo happy.
LOL! Not that it's actually funny, but... if you tuned in just in time to see the deed in its original-not in flashback-that's the worst timing! We've subsequently seen the flashback an insulting number of times. Shows I avoid because they're so stereotype-laden are River City and The New Normal.
LOL I was cheering for him to go so hard but dammit!they are stringing us along!I don't feel any chemistry between Ste and Doug!Doug is awfully straight and I am not buying Hollyoaks BS!
solve all of our money problems? for what 20 grand?? so what about the rest of your life? you think twenty grand n livin with the parents is gonna be best? I think they both need to reassess what they are doin. Doug cannot just think technical terms, hollyoaks is where they had nothin n now own a business. he should just go to america where he has nothin ? Herb is not makin it any better. this SL is such a mess why did the producer have to leave now when we almost at the end of this triangle.
soooo...umm.. how long is ste and doug suppose to stay in america? parkensins disease my be an ultimate death sentence but it doesn't always progress quickly.
what will happen to their deli(which is their main source of income, $10,000 won't last that long unless you invest it properly) how is ste gonna move with his record? last but not least what has doug done for ste that ste hasn't done in return?HERB!!!!!!!
ahahah!. No. Even with all its faults, the US economy is still the best in the world as it stands right now, thought that's not saying much. Being the best in the world right now isn't that great an achievement. The entire global economy is slowly but surely tanking.
Could Doug's parents be more melodramatic and annoying? The man has Parkinson's disease, Yes that sucks but his father is hardly in need of excessive care at the moment. They all still have time. And Amy is just going to allow Ste to take the kids? None of this makes any freaking sense.
i'm sorry to laugh but Connie 'crying' n then the music in the bg with so abrupt lol "HE NEEDS HIS SON" wow this is so dramatic. I mean it is sad news n terrible thin but the they the writers did it was sooo plot device-y, all suspensful. If Doug goes to american what then? the disease is not curable from what i know so Doug going to america will do what exactly? it would be best they told their son the news n to keep in contact, maybe do come for a short time through watever meds necessary.
Hey, herb is right, Ste is the passive one in the relationship. It's always Doug who is trying to staple their life together and take on new responsibilities to keep their relationship intact. Not once have I seen Ste sacrifice anything for him. Sad to say, they just aren't made for each other and this is coming from a extreme stug fan...I'll be very sad to see Doug go :/
By the way, didn't Christian and Syed from Eastenders just move to America last month? Sorry writers, come up with a better and more original idea than this, please.

It was so sweet seeing Doug stand up for Ste and when he called him his husband squeals
What an interesting development. So Doug's father is sick and wants him and Ste to just pack up and leave. Ste has his kids for 6 months right? I think Amy would have strong feelings about this. Thanks so much for the upload!!
ok but ste couldn't move to the usa because of his criminal record just some months ago lmao
Lol
yeah but now he's married to an american so it'll be different.
exactly! thank you. Ste KNOWS financial troubles, he even used to be homeles and had tougher times with amy. He has a business now all they need to do work through the tough times. wth is this moving to america? I am in a america and it ain't any better here and just like you said, with no qualifications Ste is going to be working in a bar again and maybe doug.
Doug's dad is apparently determined to be a lying, manipulative bastard all the way to his grave.
I don't usually wish fictional characters ill, but it would certainly be convenient if their plane crashed on the way home.
Thanks for the upload!
Am I the only one that remembers that Ste can't live in America? I mean when Amy and Lee were going to move there for Lee's job they finally made the decision to have Ste come with so they wouldn't be separating the kids and him and then they realized he couldn't go because of his trouble with the law and what not.
Leah is a cutie. No offense but I wouldn't let those jerks stay at my place, I don't care if they're Doug's parents.
Man, the writers here were sure inconsistent. When Ste wanted to move with Amy and Lee, he couldn't because of his past record. I don't see what would make it any different not even a few years later.
You wrote this 5 months ago, so I don't know if you care anymore but anyway;
I'm not that familiar with the laws regarding moving to another country and stuff like that, but I would guess that the fact that he's now married to an american citizen has something to do with how he can move there now despite his past record.

Smilet1000 Oh, man, 5 months! It feels like it's been ages since I watched this storyline. Lol.
I don't even remember much of the earlier stuff anymore, but I feel like Ste said it was a criminal past that was keeping him from leaving the country. While I understand the whole green card aspect of this, it always seemed weird that being married would suddenly make his criminal past moot to whoever it is decides this stuff.
I've heard a few things...As long as Brendan is standing and breathing at the end of any and all storylines it is fine with me.
Well, there's the writing on the wall. Doug will choose to go back to America eventually, and Ste will stay behind with the kids. Open the door for Brendan to come to the rescue.
Ste just swung his legs over dougs head. I wonder how many times he actually hit dougs head in the making
This is random but why is Ste's name saved as Steve in Doug's phone dfgjdhfg like, no one calls him Steve
Parkinson disease is manageable for years. My Great Grandmother was diagnosed with it when she was 43. She died at 96! I think the writers needed to research this one a bit more. I did like Doug telling Mercedes off though...
Doug's parents are terrible actors.

Ste&Doug
I love Ste says" i didn't shout at
Connie and she's my daughter i can say what i want in front of her. 8:07
I've been rewatching episodes and this one felt like it was missing a scene at 3:53. If you want to see it watch tvmogel08's "7th December 2012 (prt 1/2)" at 7:04.
I know I was like just go Doug. Also thought it was ironic what Doug was saying to Mercedes cause I sorta feel the same way about him lol!
i wouldn't say he is being a prick, i think they both need to just talk and its more so unfair for Doug to think they should just up and move.
I'm sorry but I just hate Doug's parents so much, so much ...
Agree 100 %
Thank you!
I thought the same thing from what I observed in a few interviews - he seems SO nice, down to earth and grateful for his job.

Gosh! Didn't know that was his name . Thanks.
Thanks so much for answering me! What is Panto? Is that the theatrical show he did where he dressed as a luscious cat? He is lovely!
Just realised that Doug’s dad is Stephen Reid from Coronation St
Gosh, if other people are Doug & Ste's only problems, they should move to a deserted island and sell sandwiches and pizzas to each other. Not sure how that would work out with the kids, but let's not sweat the small details.
tvmogel08 shows the entire show. FYI. :) I think, on Daily Motion, frozenstrawberries does too, but I could be mistaken on that one. The one I use when I want to see what going on in the rest of the village is tvmogel08 though. :) Hope that helps.
what's the song in the opening scene?
that's a very hard decision for Doug, leave husband or let his dad dies without meeting him...
Uncle Stephen
He’s crazy everywhere!!🤣🤣🤣
Ste still loves Brendan... When he got hit, the one he wanna see when he woke up is Brendan. Sad!!!!
actually, the new producer does have a say and has been working with emma on the storylines but i hope the same and agree.
They couldn't find decent actor and actress to play Doug's parents? Viewers are supposed to believe that they are American?! I mean please, "coffee, not tea," really?! People who played Doug's parents just ruined the entire episode IMO. I'm not even an American and I was offended:P
i agree on that but sadly they are not using it.
exactly again! hahaha
idk but I think the writers were probably like "oh he's American they say Steve instead of Ste" but that is just stupid since Doug clearly calls him Ste.lol.
who is the muscle boy in thisvideo
If these idiot writers do not write a Ste and Brendan drama,Emmett is gone.Which means its all gone.At least we have emmettsscanlanfans to watch the past 469 episodes.I want to thankyou very much for the time and effort to bring this story to all of us.But its the end.

Doug's dad is Stephen Reid.
mother's acting not too believeable.
what kind of sacrifice are you talking about? it's not about sacrifice if you are goin to be with a man with kids and a history, it's choice. Doug's home been Hollyoaks, even before he was traveling. that is not a sacrifice if he has been living there before. it is unfair to just ask Ste to up and move and no considering other options and he can't even work over there or consider Amy's say in this. they just need to reassess what they are doing. Herb has no right think they should up and leave.
Wont tell you what happens but they have come up with something different.
Lmao herb?
i dont know what is going on. everything seems jumbled.
Exactly!
👏🏻👏🏻
well doug's dad can choke thanks
I agree now that he's out of a job because Marc wanted to leave the soap. He could be the resident gym instructor, personal trainer with, of course, a different identity now that "Christian" moved to America with Syed. Wow, wouldn't that be great!
Who is John Partridge???
I feel like its a dig on American actors. Its distracting and kind of offensive. I mean that music in the background with the disease reveal, come on!
Why does Doug's phone say Steve?
UNCLE STEPHEN
Oh. Oh my goodness. Can we have John Partridge come to Hollyoaks, please? I don't have any idea of how I would want him to be used, but my goodness.... he is a hottie mchottie from county Hottington.
I don't understand...why are they in debt with the sandwich place? Brendan signed that over to Ste and he doesn't have to pay it back...
How random is this business. The parents flew all the way just for this shit? I guess the writers got bored of the deli. I know I did.
yea, i can see that as well because everything else is just a mess.
why is mercedes not in prison? was she released from prison?
Well all lets just see where this goes stug & stendan fans showdown begins:)))
let Doug go with his ma and da and then we can have our Stedan back!!
bye bye dougy boy
The writers can be brilliant, especially when they're doing Hollyoaks Later, but sometimes you'd think the were writing for American soaps, God forbid!
I'm entitled to say that because I'm in the U.S. and Iook to the British for a cut above our home-grown fare.
i guess this is the end for Doug.....,,,,,so sad,
I heard the economy in England is doing better than America.
WTF......!Did just happen
Well that's unexpected.
Does this show film 3 months ahead of what they air? In which case the new producer's stamp won't be felt for a while, and maybe there will still be some progress on the Brendan front.

@encchick2 Well it just came with the Parkinson's disease thing
No rivoglio Stendan
Wow, the actor's playing Mom and Dad are pretty wooden. I find it hard to take them seriously.
LOL! Not that it's actually funny, but... if you tuned in just in time to see the deed in its original-not in flashback-that's the worst timing! We've subsequently seen the flashback an insulting number of times.

LOL I was cheering for him to go so hard but dammit!they are stringing us along!I don't feel any chemistry between Ste and Doug!Doug is awfully straight and I am not buying Hollyoaks BS!
What kind of name is Herb? Lol
Probably short for Herbert.
I think they will break up soon, so sad...
omgggggggg
I'm sorry I can not Believe this stupidity
solve all of our money problems? for what 20 grand?? so what about the rest of your life? you think twenty grand n livin with the parents is gonna be best?

he is christian from east enders but his character exit the show.
Bad acting
