Yeah I'm not gonna say I want it rubbed in his face a lot but Stug was thoroughly rubbed in ours and Brendan face for months so all I ask is for one scene where he see's them kissing or something.
I'm actually hoping Stug don't have that many scenes because I want Ste involved with the Brendan , Brady's as much as possible anyone really. Unforunately this whole Stug thing has made me nervous they could go back there-I also want HO to get a spontanious annulment or divorce put through but I doubt it:(
Oh definitely not too much, that would mean more Doug and there isn't enough time for any of that. One scene will suffice then Doug can carry on with his business...
if only his business didn't literally involve Ste.

I personally cannot wait for a scene with Brendan and Doug!
What I also liked tonight and it really stood out to me, Ste's very much clued in on what Brendan's upto. He isn't made to look stupid or too trusting, he knows exactly what he's gotten into with Brendan. If you think about eff's anons last week (I think?) about how he's being manipulated etc, I just don't see it. He's very much his own man and aware of what's what.
It's also nice to see him being assertive. He doesn't sugar coat anything and that's Ste all over, not the guy they tried to make him be before

I'm intrigued to see what will happen between them. Part of me wonders if Brendan knew Doug encouraged Ste to go to Dublin, would he thank him? Weird suggestion but part of me thinks he might. Then Doug would be all 'I didn't do it for you, bro!' :cool: and that would be the end of their interaction.
Ste knows Brendan is up to something and I'm sure he is just biding his time until he finds out what it is. The boy isn't stupid and Brendan knows that.

Hello btw
Totally agree. I also love that even though he knew Brendan was lying he wasn't harsh or bitchy to get the truth out of him.
And I love that Brendan didn't technically lie to him
Aww I loved that too Ayla as a viewer I'm so happy right now because this is finally the real Ste we're saying and it's nice he's back. I was thinking that as well Ste knows Brendan that's why he questioned straightaway, he loves Brendan but he isn't the cheeriest person all the time so I think his whole mood got him intigued and then the phonecall from Cheryl kinda confirmed it. He's not being manipulated he knows what Brendan's like and wasn't scared to basically ask if Pa's disappearance was down to him-he's fully in the know and like some of you guys said earlier Brendan didn't really lie to Ste. The Stendan relationship is shown to be quite strong in that respect that in that ep they both know each other so well.
For instance Brendan knew Ste would take his clothes off if he asked him to;)I did love how Ste looked annoyed Joel had interrupted as well:D

Oh I agree, as far as I'm concerned the Ste in the Stug relationship is just completely different from Ste in Stendan. Doug always seemed quite sensitive and insecure and Ste always seemed like someone who was pretty much straight to the point and not fussed about trying to placate peoples feelings. That's part of the reason I think Stendan work so much better (as well as their amazing chemistry) because Ste doesn't mince words and neither does Brendan, and they can both handle it.
There would have been a time that Brendan would have been mortified at Joel or anyone walking in on him and Ste in a clear state of almost shag...
I was thinking during those scenes that it must be so strange for Ste. Last time he was with Brendan he was running out of the house after Eileen, trying to convince her that Ste was no one to him. Now he's telling him to take his clothes off in the middle of the club and doesn't even mind if Joel sees it....well, sort of minds, but only because he was interrupted
Oh yeah forgot to add since it's been dicussed , Ste totally saw right through Brendan that's why we saw the looks. When Joel was like about business the camera went to his face - it an't over detective Ste will find out and then there's gonna be trouble.
When Ste was like 'swear to me you didn't have anything to do with it' I'm so glad Brendan didn't flat out lie but went past it with 'I was with Cheryl all night, you know that'which is the truth.:o

God, yeah. Ste doesn't have to walk on eggshells around Brendan.

I thought that as well!:Din the past he would of been telling Ste to put his clothes on to convince people it wasn't what it looks like. Now it's yeah it is what it looks like and your interrupting go away:D
Ste doesn't have to walk on eggshells around Brendan because he knows he's not gonna burst into tears at any minute;) I actually think he enjoys the challenge of Brendan like finding out what he's thinking and up to.:D

Lost a bit of love for you khughes now you've admitted this.

Haha See, in the real world maybe, but in Hollyoaks World I would be shocked if they were that considerate!

It's pure cheese. But I must admit I find Jude Law in the glasses delicious! I love a bit of posh geeky totty;)
And I love that Brendan didn't technically lie to him
It's just so cheesy and stereotypical England and Hollywood and Jude Law is a fine piece of ass in it

I know. To outright admit Joel interrupted what would have been a shag just shows how far Brendan has come in the last few years.
Eta. Don't think I've used the word shag in years. Not sure where that came from.

He destroyed the Talented Mr Ripley, along with Gwyneth I admit and then he trashed Alfie and basically I just can't be doing with him.
Sorry for the OT anti Jude rant.
Genuinely think I've only ever seen him in The Holiday and Sherlock Holmes and I think he suits the characters.
Oh and he's fit. That's the main reason. Fit. English. Bit posh. Love them three things ha.
God, yeah. Ste doesn't have to walk on eggshells around Brendan.

Just googled and apparently he is from Lewisham.

So am I ha. But he is well spoken enough to disguise that :cool:
