Yeah, but I can't seem to muster up much enthusiasm for either Brendan or Ste if it isn't going to be about them together. It just ... loses pretty much all reward otherwise if he resolves the issues from his background and Ste isn't part of that. My biggest dread now is that they will get his evolution right ironically, but the satisfaction of seeing Emmett not have his time wasted and knowing Brendan as a character wasn't either, will just end up edged out by the f*ckery of an ever-popular Stug and that the show's timely statement on what they've mishandled to look like 'promotion' will have stood for too long. I honestly don't think I'll feel like anything is worth it, like getting something right is better than nothing at all.
I know they managed to hold on to Emmett for another year, but I'm more sure than ever it was with empty promises they can't live up to, because look what they've already done and ruined.
And this makes me sound really bad, but if they've screwed the best actor and story they've ever had by the time he leaves, than at least the bitter cynic in me will be able to take pleasure from it. I'd rather that, then have my heart broken all the more for 'playing the long game', only to get the bittersweetness of Brendan finding any peace but so wrongly without Ste.

They can try to move on and away from Stendan all they like, but if you shipped them at all, can Brendan achieve endgame on his own without his boy?

“Just popping in to say...the only place I've seen overwhelmingly negative comments by a majority of posters about the upcoming Stug storyline is in a certain thread on this website. Otherwise it's been about even percentages and even a slight majority looking foward to, or not opposed to Stuggle Huggles.
So I'm not sure where some people are getting the idea that the majority of H'oaks online fans are againt this?
Anyhow...looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. Also hoping no one ends up murdered or blown-up!”
BIB: That's this thread, right? :sleep:
And is what this poster is saying even true?
It's just so unfair. It's like Stug had a last minute write-in and snatched the election win away from the worthier opponent. It's just so shallow and foolish.
