But Brendan would want to help Ste. I'm sure his intentions are good.

Well hopefully we'll know if he's involved in this competition soon. But I think it's important that Ste builds up his self esteem on his own and with friends because things with Brendan are sour at the moment.

I wish Ste would let Brendan help him. Maybe he regrets firing him and wants to make things right?

I think we'll just have to wait and see what happens and then it'll become clearer.


Just watching HO again and love the Ste/Doug/Amy scene with the pizza, actually funnier the second time

Aw the Good Luck card

Smart Ste with his little apron

n'awwwwwww! He's so cute!

He really is

This episode is brilliant! Love Stug!

Nooo they didn't win Sort it out Tony!!

Nevermind! Their pitch was brilliant!

It was, and another great episode

They'll have to come up with another business idea now, too many pizza people in Chester!

Kieron deserves an award for services to comedy for tonight's E4. He is so, so funny.

They could open an italian restaurant. Ste is a very good cook!

As if my love for Stug could get any more, they surpassed themselves tonight. Ha, Ste is so funny. And PJ is lovely. And their pitch was glorious. And they both looked cuter than cute in their smart shirts and ties.

In hindsight, I'm quite pleased they lost the competition. £5,000 won't get them very far, and now maybe they'll set their sights a bit higher than a pizza delivery service. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I wouldn't mind a little restaurant or something.

I don't know where the boys go from here. A bank loan perhaps? Or maybe Cheryl will invest? I think she sold her half of the club for £200k (although I was a bit confused with all that money stuff at the time) so she's got plenty of money.

Maybe Brendan will be the one to invest on Ste and Doug business?

Yeah they might need to find an investor as I can't imagine many banks giving them a loan. There's still the nude scene that Kieron was talking about, I hope he's not lap dancing for some fat cat I don't think anything else was mentioned in the spoilers but hopefully they'll be some follow up tomorrow.

Maybe Brendan agrees to lend Ste the money if he does a lapdance for him!

They're not even talking to each other at the moment. But I do wonder if/when all these scenes that Kieron was talking about are going to air.

But Brendan still fancies Ste like mad! He'd be stuffing money in his underwear!

The other thing that confuses me is why does ES reply to fans who have completely different opinions with almost the same positive response. Reading back she hears everyone, sees everything, and no-one will be disappointed, is she Santa?

The RIP Stendan better not be her idea of a joke! I'm not amused!

I don't think it was meant as a joke, just to evoke a response, which it did. I like the fact they have this little bit of interaction with the fans through the website, forums, twitter etc but sometimes it backfires, case in point.

They even got the dates wrong! Honestly! Do this people try to piss us off on purpose?

Just trying to keep the viewers sweet, I suppose. Assuming you're referring to stuff on twitter, I haven't seen it, but it sounds like she's doing the usual diplomatic, non-contentious, non-committal type of reply which doesn't given anything away but is designed to keep everyone happy - and/or speculating! She should be a politician by the sounds of it.

Can't blame her, mind. She wants to be approachable and down with the fans, but can hardly give away future plotlines or pander to what I assume is a handful of people. She'll do what she wants anyway.

Sometimes I think yes. But then you see you have lots of non-shippers, like me, so they can't please everyone. But that blog was not one of their best ideas.
